I dont know, this list is terrible.

No way on the face of the earth is Brady >>>> Marino and Elway.

Thats just stupid. Brady is an all time great, but not better than those 2. No way.

stupid analysis imo. let's say you are starting a team right now and you can have a young brady, young marino or young elway....who do you pick? if you say brady then you are a homer.

That was actually some of the best analysis you can expect, given the source.

In Marino's case his lack of Super Bowls is a true knock against him as a player. He had extraordinary talent but was extremely selfish and held some of his teams back. Miami fans argue all the time that if Marino had a Jerry Rice and a head coach like Bill Walsh he'd have won 4 Super Bowls too. I disagree. He'd win 1, maybe 2, before his ego got too inflated and he'd flat-out refuse to run the ball. It's no coincidence that Marino saved some of his worst performances for the postseason.

shady brady still hasn't won a SB, not sure why the chowds keep bringing it up. SB titles are a team achievment anyway. if the pats* had ever won one, it would only matter in comparing teams

my top 10

jim brown

rice

montana

sweetness

elway

rod woodson

bart starr

emmitt smith

butkiss

reggie white

Not the case at all! Marino had Clayton and Duper, 2 stud wr's! were they Rice? no, but a receiver doesn't make the QB! Marino's teams had no Defense and no runing game. period. it wasn't selfish and I never heard any Dolphin fan say this! (my brother and brother inlaws are both Dolphin fans)

Simply, if he had any kind of running game and a descent Defense, he would have won a couple!

obvioudly, you've never seen him play. to say that someone "flat out refused to run the ball" is absurd! they ran the ball, but with little success. and with a QB with an arm like Marino? He was just amazing to watch, and VERY frustrating to play against!

Because I grew up watching Ken O'Brien go toe-to-toe with Marino so many times I've always had a problem considering Marino a great, All-Time player. It's a relativity thing.

i think it's tough to make a fair "top 20 in 2010" list let alone a "top 20 all time." it's a little arbitrary to compare these players from different eras...

Word. They always vote Jim Brown as the best player of all time but I have a hard time picturing him straight-arming Ray Lewis to the ground like he did to all those chubby Caucasian dock workers he was playing against in his day.

As a Jets fan, I will admit that I think Brady will be remembered as the best QB ever.

I think the greatest should be Jerry Rice, then Walter Payton, then Jim Brown, and then Tom Brady. Yes, I just said Brady. But this is an unbiased list. Brady has absolutely dominated more than any other player since being in the NFL, so call me a homer already.

I'm sorry, but he had one of the greatest WR tandems in the NFL a couple yrs ago and couldn't pull it off in the end!

Joe Montana? I mean he did it without knowing what the other teams plays were going to be. And he was able to come back and have a great season in 93 after playing one game in the previous two seasons.

and away we go.....but if jim brown played with todays nutrition knowledge, exercise equipment and worked out 11 months a year he'd rip ray lewis' head off and crap down his neck.....

I don't see Joe Greene yet. Stone-cold lock for this list and top 20 isn't a stretch.

I also disagree with the placement of Campbell vs. Sayers. Both had shortened careers and both were amazing but Campbell's performance and pure numbers in his first 4 seasons (and 5 of his first 6) were epic GOAT numbers. Two or three more years and he'd be 1a/1b with Jim Brown. Can't put Sayers that far above him.
