Vote: Who are the NFL's greatest quarterbacks?



Will Tom Brady supplant Joe Montana?
Who are the best quarterbacks ever, and how would you build the next one, SportsNation?

Tom Brady is looking to cement his legacy as one of the best signal callers of all time with a fourth Super Bowl title, while Eli Manning hopes to begin an eventual climb up that ladder with a first Super Bowl title. But what about the big picture?

Which quarterbacks defined the eras in which they did the bulk of their work? Where do the league's current quarterbacks fit in the scheme of things? And what are the keys to quarterback greatness?
  • 1) Who was the greatest QB who played primarily before the Super Bowl era?
  • 2) Who was the greatest QB who played primarily during the transition to the Super Bowl era?
  • 3) Who was the greatest retired QB who played primarily during the Super Bowl era?
  • 4) Who will have the greatest historical legacy among active passers?
  • 5) Which QB with four or fewer years experience has the most potential for greatness?
  • 6) What level of Super Bowl success is necessary to be considered the greatest?
  • 7) Which attribute would you pick first if you were building a QB from scratch?
  • 8) Which attribute would you rank as least important if you were building a QB from scratch?
  • 9) Which former first-round bust were you most convinced would be great?
  • 10) Which draft-eligible QB has the most potential to be great?
