Pick Your NFL QB

I’d go with an in-his-prime Elway, his scrambling ability would be important. Second choice would be Montana.

For current players I’d go with Rodgers for the same reason. Great arm and escapability.

Tom Brady. Enough said. Second choice oddly enough would be his opponent on Sunday, peyton manning

Does the QB have a pre-videotaped recording of the team’s defense?

Probably not….give Tom Brady a videocamera, and he’ll win a Super Bowl…“how do I get through to these kids???”

Spygate is now a part of the Patriots history.

So is any chance of them ever getting back to the Super Bowl…Not sure who to take yet…should be a good matchup!

It was a heartbreaking loss the other day. But that being said, the Broncos should have beat the Patriots by a lot more than  points. And yes spygate is a black spot on this Franchise’s history, I completely agree with ABWorsham. Can’t wait for Patriot Football next season.

Even though the Pats lots (and I’m not a fan by any means), they did a lot more with a lot less than any other team in the league.

@ABWorsham:

You own a NFL team. The team is down by 5 points with 90 yards between you and a championship. There is two minutes on the clock.

If you could have any NFL QB past or present who do you pick?

As much as it pains me to say it, Joe Montana.

Can’t really argue against Elway. Or any QB on this list: http://espn.go.com/nfl/superbowl/history/mvps

But if we go with guys showing up more than once, Montana is the clear choice with Starr, Bradshaw, and Brady following closest behind. The only guys I think you could consider who don’t show up on this list would be Unitas, Tarkenton, Marino.

I haven’t thought about it that much, but a cursory thought on it makes me think a lot of that was having the greatest wide receiver to play the game.  I’m sure Montana was good, but it’s kind of clouded because of that.

Joe had 2 receivers, tight end, and a running back.

Rich Gannon.

OK. I make sure I bet on other team.

Sure but Rice is also going to have benefited from Montana.

I’d be willing to give the ball to any guy on this list: http://espn.go.com/nfl/history/leaders/_/stat/tdpasses

Regarding Montana, don’t forget the scenario established in the original post. There’s a reason he’s called Joe Cool. Someone like Peyton would be gripping the ball a little tighter in a situation like that, even with a stacked offense.

Have to bring up the time Montana pointed out John Candy in the stands from the huddle before the game winning drive in SB XXIII.
