With all the rule changes, it’s hard to say. Line backers and DB’s have be nice to receivers. Not like the olds where the layed them out from the line on. Makes a QB life easier. Hasbeen

Greg Cook.
Too bad he got injured in his first year. The Bengals were off to a 3-0 start in 1969.
Greg died in 1969. He used to hang out at a bar down in the West End I occasionally visited. It was close to where he worked at UPS. He was a heck of a nice guy. He died of pneumonia in 2012.

He was an amazing talent whose career was cut short. It would have been interesting to see what he would have done had he been around for a normal career.

Different eras required different skill sets. For me, back when the game was at the zenith of its development, it was Unitas.

I am not a football guy but...
Steve Young
John Elway
Brett Favre
They all had pretty good receivers. However, John Elway could really play the game if the game was on the line and it was the 2 minute warning.

Being a Broncos homer I am going to say John Elway deserves a spot in the top three. If he wasn’t saddled with Dan Reeves and his overly conservative offensisve scheme for the majority of his career things would have been better. He took three teams to the Superbowl that would not have been even close to making it without him.

Hands down Drew Brees. Has only 1 super bowl ring, but the NFL records he holds may never be broken.
Yeah,,,,I'm a little bit of a homer, but compare stats, and it's a no brainer.
Clyde
1. Most 5,000-yard passing seasons: 5 (2008, 2011-13, 2016)
Other NFL quarterbacks have combined for four all-time. Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford each have one. In 2017, Brees finished fourth in the league at 4,334 yards, but he has led the NFL in passing seven times, also a record.
2. Consecutive 4,000-yard passing seasons: 12 (2006-17)
Stafford and Matt Ryan are second all-time with seven. Ryan and Stafford's streaks also are ongoing.
Not only does Brees have 12 consecutive 4,000-yard seasons, he has 12 consecutive 4,300-yard seasons. Ryan has the second-longest streak at five, and Philip Rivers has the second-longest current run at three seasons.
3. Completion percentage for a career: 66.9
Chad Pennington is second at 66 percent and Kurt Warner third at 65.5. Brees broke Sam Bradford's single-season record (71.6) for completion percentage this season at 72 percent, and he now has three of the four most accurate seasons (2011, 71.2, third; 2009, 70.6, fourth).
4. Most completions in a single season: 471 (2016)
This season, Brees had the third-lowest completion total of his Saints career with 386, but still led the NFL in the category for the sixth time. Brees also is second all-time (468, 2011), third (456, 2014), sixth (448, 2010), seventh (446, 2013) and eighth (440, 2007). Manning is fourth at 450 (2010, 2013).
5. Consecutive games with a touchdown pass: 54 (2009-12)
No quarterback ended this season with a streak of at least 25 games. It's worth noting that Manning had a 51-game streak snapped in 2014 by the Rams, and Brady had a 52-game run ended in 2013 by the Bengals.
6. Consecutive games with 300 yards passing: 9 (2011-12; 2012-13)
Brees is tied with himself for this record. Andrew Luck has the second-longest run at eight games (2014), and Jameis Winston is the only QB with an active streak of two games.
7. Consecutive games with at least 20 completions: 57 (2009-13)
The longest current streak is held by Joe Flacco at eight, and Brees is second at seven. Brees also has the second- and third-longest streaks in NFL history (30, 2015-17; 21, 2013-14), and he has the record for most in a row at home (66 and counting).
8. Most consecutive attempts in the playoffs without an interception: 226 (includes five straight games from the 2009 season to the 2011 season)
The next most ever is Flacco at 197, and the longest-current streak is Ryan at 113.
9. Consecutive seasons with at least 30 touchdown passes: 9 (2008-16)
Brett Favre has the second-longest run at five seasons from 1994-98. There is not a current streak on this one as no signal-caller had 30 scoring throws in both 2016 and 2017.
Bonus: Most passing yards in a single season -- regular season plus postseason: 6,404 (2011)
Peyton Manning broke Brees' record for most yards in a season four years ago by one yard (5,477 to 5,476). But Brees threw for more yards in two playoff games in 2011 than Manning did in three playoff games in 2013. Manning finished with 6,387 combined passing yards that season. (This is not recognized as an official NFL record, as the league keeps regular-season and postseason statistics separate.)

Greatest QB who never won a Super Bowl was Dan Marino. Too Bad the Dolphins never surrounded him with a real team.
