Recently I posted my top 15 QBs of all time,see below.
A few names were thrown out there as worthy of being on that list.
Namath,Stabler,Kelly,Roethlisberger,and Y.A. Title.
As I delved a bit further into Y.A.'s career,it occurred to me that Marino may be an updated version of Y.A.
Both had zero Championships,but both were at or near the Top of the All Time Lists for Passing Yards TDs etc at the time of their Retirement.
Y.A. legend has it,played thru a broken sternum,and concussion during the 1963 Championship Game.
Compare that to Brady and his career,if you breathed on him you got a 15 yd penalty.....
I guess I put this to the elder statesmen here on BBI,maybe some of you actually saw the man play..perhaps you can shed some light on the matter...
My earliest Giant QB memory is that of one Joe Pisarcick.
Here is that aforementioned list of my Top 15.
BRADY
MONTANA
UNITAS
MANNING,P.
GRAHAM
BRADSHAW
STAUBACH
MAHOMES
ELWAY
MARINO
RODGERS
BREES
BAUGH
STARR
FAVRE
AIKMAN
LUCKMAN
TARKENTON
YOUNG
He completed barely 50% of his passesd.
In his rookie year he had more touchdown passes than ints.
He never did it again.
Take away the Super Bowl, he had an average career.
Had he not suffered knee injuries, I think he would have been amazing.
Should he really be in the Hall of Fame?
I know what he meant to the game especially after the Super bowl, but his playing career does not merit.
So many stars on both offense and defense before the fade away. They just couldn’t beat the Packers in the championship games.
It was Tittle to Shofner. Or, handoffs to Frank Gifford, Kyle Rote, Joe Morrison, Alex Webster, or Phil King.
Is this Giants on Giants crime here??
hahahaha

Yale,thanks much for bringing YA up,I do think he has been forgotten by my generation and those after mine....
Another one of those guys who gets dinged because he never won a chip...I watched him play most of his career,he had gun!!
Never had a Defense-how do you blame him for that?
