	Accept Tarkenton (and spell Fran right FWIW). Also, it's spelled Meredith.

	Not your fault, the fault of the source but JIM MCMAHON OVER SONNY JURGENSEN?! You have got to be kidding.

Comment below threshold: show it

	flutie's most notable years came with the bills where he wore 7...4 of the 5 years he wore 2 he was a back-up

	Paman93:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 04:21 GMT	14 points
	How about Brees for #9??

	SteelyDyl:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 08:00 GMT	0 points
	FRAN Tarkenton and no love for Bledsoe

	Pistol:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 08:17 GMT	5 points
	If ESPN re-did this list in five/ten years then Brees @ 9, Rivers @ 17, Ryan @ 2 and even Cutler @ 6 spring to mind. I also think with another ring this year then Brady jumps Bradshaw.

	jfeigen06:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 09:41 GMT	6 points
	Brady should already be ahead of Bradshaw. Brady's career passing rating is 94.9. Bradshaw's is 70.9. Pretty significant gap.

	Pistol:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 11:00 GMT	2 points
	@jfeigen06 - I agree and would put Brady ahead of Bradshaw. But the people who make these polls like rings, which is why Bradshaw always does well in polls. But give Brady a 4th and they have to look at other things and then there is no comparison.

	Thanks for all the suggestions, and i don't agree with this list either. I changed the misspellings that were pointed out.

	smoggy14:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 15:08 GMT	4 points
	amazing that Brister is included on this list. Can't believe there hasn't been one competent QB to wear #6 over this whole period of time.

	BDR22:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 17:54 GMT	2 points
	No Tebow? This list is a total fluke lol.

	pwoody229:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 18:42 GMT	4 points
	You finally found it! A way to make a "best quarterbacks" list that has Bubby Brister but not Tom Brady! Pretty impressive.

	Theron:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 19:15 GMT	6 points
	@jfeigen06: Passer rating has inflated dramatically over time with changes to the game favoring passing. It's not hard to construct an argument that Brady is better than Bradshaw was, and I'd agree with you, but straight up passer rating isn't the best way to start.

	scine20:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 20:05 GMT	4 points
	McMahon over Steve McNair?

	ClintT13:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 20:05 GMT	2 points
	Flutie wore 7 when he had his comeback as a starter. He wore 2 early in his career when he did nothing but ride the bench. Odd choice by the source.

	cwpix09:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 20:46 GMT	3 points
	No offense to Doug Flutie but I loathe any quarterback that wears the number 2. Maybe this is because on my 9th birthday I was given a Tim Couch jersey. O' to be raised a Browns fan.

	snoopsteryomom:	Dec 21st, 2010 at 21:05 GMT	3 points
	@ClintT13 i think that they still wanted to include Flutie, but there's just no way you can put him above Elway. and @scine20 I know, I would not have put McMahon on there. Personally i probably would've put Sonny Jurgensen

	davelb87:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 00:15 GMT	4 points
	the fact that ESPN put Dan Fouts ahead of Otto Graham is a joke...Graham made it to the league championship game EVERY SEASON of his 10-year career (won 7 titles). 105-17-4 career record. 5 pro bowls in 6 seasons playing in the NFL. No QB can claim numbers that come close to Graham.

	devilsfan15:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 00:17 GMT	2 points
	#9 is Jurgensen without a doubt. I had to laugh when I saw Brister's name appear. Surely there had to be another QB at #6. (No, there isn't, and don't call me Shirley)

	bmo1616:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 00:22 GMT	-4 points
	Bradshaw over Brady is a complete joke.

	MATTEOMATTO:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 00:25 GMT	-2 points
	@bmo1616 - Bradshaw=4 championships, Brady=3 championships

	bojanthebest:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 00:45 GMT	4 points
	maybe you should mention that this article was made in january 2008, that is when the list is made.

	jplosman55:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 01:12 GMT	2 points
	dr. headband over steve mcnair? really???

	Dr_Awesome:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 06:49 GMT	2 points
	Just another reason why ESPN blows.

	tk_go_giants:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 08:21 GMT	7 points
	I would definitely put Steve Young over Troy Aikman for #8. Sure, Aikman led his team to more titles (each has 3 rings, but Young was Montana's backup for 2 of his), but statistically Young easily outperformed Aikman in every category, including beating him by a huge margin in passer rating. And in his one Super Bowl start, Young threw for a record 6 touchdowns. No question Young should have been included over Aikman.

	wtf... Jim Kelly for the bills... Taken us to the super bowl 4 times in a row really.. how is he not on this list

	EpicWinFTW:	Dec 24th, 2010 at 01:13 GMT	6 points
	No love for Ryan Leaf? This quiz is garbage.

	hscer:	Dec 24th, 2010 at 15:51 GMT	2 points
	@tk_go_giants I agree with you. Basically it comes down to the Cowboys beating the 49ers 2 games to 1 in the postseason from 92-94, but conveniently ignores that in all three years it was the best defense, not the best QB, who won.

	skudrafan1:	Dec 26th, 2010 at 23:22 GMT	1 point
	Typing "AND" gave me Bart Starr for some reason. How did I learn that? By guessing Derek Anderson for #3, of course.

	snoopsteryomom:	Jan 4th, 2011 at 13:57 GMT	1 point
	@skudafran1 I changed it, "and" does not make Bart Starr show up anymore

	Hellpop:	Jan 15th, 2011 at 01:45 GMT	1 point
	Congratulations to the 6% of you that got so far down on your mental list of quarterbacks that you came up with Bubby Brister. Somebody good needs to take up the number 6 ASAP.

	urahrah4life:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 21:38 GMT	1 point
	hahaha flutie was a joke

	saban4pres:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 00:09 GMT	1 point
	Aikman over Steve Young? FAIL

	KoopaIggy:	Feb 23rd, 2011 at 15:35 GMT	1 point
	Bradshaw over Staubach? Sure, Terry had a better team, but Roger Staubach was definitely a better QB.

	KoopaIggy:	Feb 23rd, 2011 at 15:38 GMT	1 point
	Here's a suggestion: Maybe you can add bonuses #33 and #42.

	koopa08:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 20:48 GMT	1 point
	I'd have to replace Bradshaw & Aikman with Brady & Young, respectively...also Brister & McMahon seem least likely to maintain that status (Sanchez, if he becomes more successful & McNair?). Loved the quiz.
