As a Giants fan I hate to say it, but Tom Brady hands down! Im guessing i would have to say in modern football no one else has been his equal.

Depending on which stats are most important to you there are lots of candidates. It is really hard to compare old school QB's with modern QB's because the game has changed so much. As great as some of those guys were prior to the 1990's the QB was just one of 11 players on the field. The position has become so important at the pro level now that a team simply cannot compete without a top tier QB. And with 32 teams there are only about 20 top tier QB's in the league.
Bradshaw wasn't great,but played on great teams. But I still like him.
Elway, Montana, and Young are in the conversation. Young is often forgotten, but he may be better than Montana.
Peyton Manning changed the modern game with his ability to read defenses and audible. He wasn't the most gifted with talent, but the most cerebral. He was truly a coach on the field.
I can't decide if Bill Belichick is a great coach because of Brady, or if Bilichick makes Brady look great as a QB. But Brady is a contender, probably the GOAT.
I enjoyed watching Favre the most. He was an iron man from the old school who played a long career, and played hurt a lot. He probably played at least 1 year too long, but I've got a lot of respect for his toughness.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Elway and Brady find ways to win. Not always winners of the stats, but they'd find a way to win. Dan Fouts wasn't bad, same with Merino, huge numbers but didn't always win. Obviously its a team sport though and its hard to draw the line. Can't disagree with this. Personally, in my biased opinion, I give the nod to Elway. In addition to being a great quarter back, he's also shown great ability in the front office. Peyton Manning still holds the title for greatest NFL Pitchman and greatest NFL Class Act.

Peyton, only QB to get rings with 2 different teams Also beaten in Super Bowl by Seahawks like 231-0.
What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

Brady (not a fan but let's face it.......... he just wins championships)
Montana is a close second.
Everyone else is a distant third.

I agree with Rocky,
Bart Star
Bret Farve
Aaron Rodgers Can't argue with that. Would give Brady honorable mention.
