People message me on how they loved my past "lists" on this site (My Top 75 Greatest Miami Dolphins, My Top 50 Worst Miami Dolphins), and I now plan on doing another one. This will be a tough one. My Top 50 NFL Quarterbacks of All-Time.
Now that Brett Favre has retired, where should we place him among the NFL's all time greatest QBs? I have nominated over 50 QBs for the discussion, and divided them up into five categories: Hall of Famers (All 31 of them), Future (Guaranteed First-Ballot) Hall of Famers, QBs Worthy of the Hall of Fame, Honorable Mentions, and Still Active. Still Active is divided into four categories: On there way up, Stalemate, Got a Ways to Go, Relatively New
I am currently working on my list right now, and will post a future thread on what I belive are my rankings for the top 50 quarterbacks of all time. I challenge all of you to do the same.
WARNING: There are alot of "old school" QBs on my list...it is only fair to consider them as well.
Here are the 50+ Selections to choose from that I thought of:
If you believe someone else deserves to be considered more than someone else, tell me please. Please keep in mind these are just choices for consideration.
