Top QBs through Super Bowl LX: Who will be No. 1 in 10 years?

The lack of respect Bradshaw gets is ridiculous. Sure, his career numbers blew (thanks largely to the very slow start to his career), but he was money in the biggest games, more so than just about all of the other names on those lists.

Cam Newton and Andrew Luck? LOL

I'd expect this kind of dreck from average fans on some message board/blog, but not so-called "experts" who are actually paid for these opinions.

I think there are other reasons as well on why Terry doesn't get the appreciation that he should. If we look at football during that time, it was more of a run heavy league with tough, punishing defenses. Defensive corners could mug receivers all day long. Then, when the rule changes applied in 1978, Terry took off.

If we also look at numbers from other quarterbacks as well from that time period, none of them have crazy stats like today because the game has changed over the years. Just another reason why I think it is unfair to compare quarterbacks and their stats from a different time period compared to today's quarterbacks because the game has changed so much.

Joe Montana can. He got four rings in four tries while also becoming the first player in history to be the Super Bowl MVP three times and also never threw an interception in a Super Bowl either.

LOL...



That should-have-been INT would have pretty much iced the game for the Bengals too. Montana generally didn't throw INTs for basically the same reason Brady doesn't now (dink-and-dunk and a TON of YAC for his receivers).

Only thing is, Staubach, whom Bradshaw beat head-to-head in the SB twice, made two of the three lists. I could kinda see it from an old Cowboy homer like Brandt, though.
