He played for five other teams during the course of his career and backed up Troy Aikman during one of the Cowboys' Super Bowl years. If you'd asked me a few years ago, I would have told you that Carson Palmer would have climbed higher on this list. Griese was the quarterback at the helm during the height of the Miami Dolphins' dynasty in the early 1970s, and he experienced a career revival when he started wearing glasses during the 1977 season, revealing that he had very subpar vision in his right eye. 1. The former 12th round pick out of Kentucky retired for the first time following the 1958 season when Bears owner George Halas demanded that he only be used as a kicker; however, with the formation of the AFL in 1960, Blanda began playing for the Houston Oilers as both a QB and a K, and he had his best years in Houston before finishing his career with the Oakland Raiders as a kicker and a backup to Daryle Lamonica. Favre also built a tough-as-nails reputation on his way to becoming the NFLs Iron Man, starting in 297 consecutive regular-season games. Although this was a disturbing scene for a former starting NFL quarterback, what caught national attention was the fact that after his arrest, Jackson asked for a public defender because he didn't have any money to afford a lawyer. He retired in 1978 holding career passing records for completions, attempts, yards and touchdowns. (Just google Everett's confrontation with that douche bag Jim Rome if you're interested in some drama.) Every season, Rivers just keeps slinging the ball around, and frankly it doesn't seem to matter who is catching it because Rivers just makes it all go, and that's exactly what he's been doing since he became San Diego's starter. While Kelly never managed to win the big game, he is the only quarterback in NFL history to lead his team to four consecutive Super Bowls. When you think of the Dallas Cowboys through the years, you think of good quarterback play- indeed, even the less famous quarterbacks managed to make this list. Since his playing days ended, Quinn has stayed relevant in the sport by becoming a sports analyst for Fox Sports, and he's actually pretty good at it. McNair played most of his career with the Tennessee Titans, though he played his final two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens after Texas QB Vince Young was drafted to be McNair's replacement in Tennessee. Jones's best season was 1976, when he won the NFL MVP award and had a passer rating of over 100, one of only three players to have a season with a QB rating of at least 100 during the 1970s (along with Ken Stabler and Roger Staubach). These quarterbacks have started for Professional Football's Oakland Raiders. Currently, he works as an ESPN NFL analyst. The 24-year-old was told that he should retire after suffering multiple concussions this past season with fears of future injuries and the Miami Dolphins have sent a clear message to the quarterback. 32 overall. This season, he also became the Packers' all-time leader in touchdown passes (449 and counting). Yes, the life of an NFL quarterback would be pretty amazing. Picked up by the Dallas Cowboys in the 10th round, DeBerg spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before ending his career with the Atlanta Falcons. I'd bet that some guys on this list would trade their higher standing just to have one. Grossman had a roller coaster career as a starter in the NFL, most notable during the 2006 season in which he led the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl despite his propensity for costly turnovers and many fans calling for him to be benched. Esiason's 1988 season was probably his best; he led the Bengals to the franchise's second Super Bowl birth. The winningest quarterback in franchise history, Roethlisberger owns virtually every Pittsburgh passing record imaginable. Clausen now spends his time with his family and raising his newborn son, Cooper Clausen. Maybe his actions will be forgotten in Pittsburgh; I'd put the probability at "very high" if the Steelers win another championship, and in reality Ben is likely to rise much higher than this when his career is over. most career TD passes) he also owns a couple of bad ones (i.e. He was named an All-Pro an impressive 10 times and was invited to the Pro Bowl in all but three of his seasons (14). The NFL later adopted a rule change to assist the defense making substitutions in these situations. A record that will likely never be broken. After reversing his retirement decision last year, Tom Brady might be considering it for real this time after the Bucs were dumped from the NFL playoffs. Obviously, the major knock on Tarkenton is that he never won a Super Bowl despite having multiple attempts with a great supporting cast around him. The idea of a guy like Peyton Manning doing that is simply hilarious, so it bears repeating that Luckman, one of the best QBs in league history, actually had that intention. He still holds the NFL record for passing yards per attempt (9.0). I'm not sure that I'm ready to just suddenly jump this guy all the way to the top because he proved all the doubters wrong. Manning would have his shot at redemption in 2015. Staubach was named the NFL MVP in 1971, in addition to being named to the Pro Bowl on six separate occasions. Elway has a fantastic game as well. They are listed in order of the date of each player's first start at quarterback for the team. Favre headlined the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2016. These quarterbacks have started at least one game for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League, formerly known as the Boston Braves (), Boston Redskins (1933-1936), Washington Redskins (1937-2019), and Washington Football Team (2020-2021). Because this guy was just flat out exciting. After a few months away from the game, Elway made his decision public. Bobby Layne was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1948, but was behind both Sid Luckman and Johnny Lujack on the depth chart, so he refused to return to the team in 1949. Not necessarily. The pressure seems to get to him. Lastly, Garrard remains a Crohn's disease activist and is always doing what he can to help find a cure. Graham's record as a starter was 57-13-1 (.810), good for the best winning percentage all time among quarterbacks. When he's not working a game, however, you can find Campbell on one of the many golf courses throughout Georgia. The former Boston College Eagle and Heisman Trophy winner might be best known for his famous Hail Mary against Miami in 1984, and he was part of a major quarterback controversy with Rob Johnson in Buffalo. Regardless, Young will still go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Here's what we know as to whether Brady will retire after this season. The oldest NFL quarterbacks of all time put most athletes to shame by playing into their 40s. He was never especially remarkable and was eventually replaced by Michael Vickwho the Falcons drafted No. Not that his statistics don't back it up, though- they do. Despite the fact that Flutie consistently played better, Johnson looked the part of an NFL quarterback with a prototypical NFL build. In ten appearances, Graham won seven league titles (3 NFL, 4 AAFC), the most all time for any player. At 38 years old, Elway became the oldest player at the time to be named Super Bowl MVP. That happens to bother me quite a bit- and so while Krieg undoubtedly deserves a spot, the fact that he played relatively poorly in comparison to his abilities when the chips were down hurts him on the list. Despite the fact that he got a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, the fact remains that it was Eli's moment to datereally his only moment, but still most definitely Eli's moment. Like Brady Quinn, Leinart is actually a very likeable and knowledgeable football commentator. Brady's status as a clutch player wasn't undermined, but his legacy was, and instead of No. Plus, if he was set on retiring a year ago, what were the odds he would play multiple more seasons? If you put up Anderson's numbers against many QBs who are in the Hall, Anderson compares favorably. Gannon had a successful career but was never able to actually win a Super Bowl championship. It's a luxury for the Ravens to have this guy on their roster backing up Joe Flacco. I don't know how I did them.". Baugh played three ways, offense, defense, and punter, leading the Washington Redskins to two NFL titles (1937 and 1942). Today, Archie Manning is perhaps best known as the father of current NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, but Archie was a pretty good player in his own right. MORE:Four times Tom Brady has flipped out on coaches, teammates and tablets in 2022. However, he enjoyed a long and successful career with the Browns, although the Browns' bad luck from Red Right 88 continued all through Kosar's career as well. He simply won't go away. He is the only QB to ever throw for more than 400 yards and keep a perfect 158.3 QB rating in the same game; he also combined with Marino to throw for over 900 passing yards in the same game, another NFL record. Morrall started for injured Dolphins QB Bob Griese during the 1972 season for the Miami Dolphins and was part of the league's only undefeated team in history, though he was benched in favor of Griese during the team's playoff run. A major statistic that I look at for modern quarterbacks is interceptions, and Rodgers simply doesn't throw very many of them. After being selected 199th overall (sixth round) by the Patriots in the 2000 NFL Draft, no one could have ever imagined that Brady would put together arguably the most decorated career in NFL history. As a result, hes the first quarterback to lead two franchises to a Super Bowl victory. One of the poster boys for prima donnas in the NFL and a former No. Tarkenton is rightly remembered as a great scrambler, but sometimes people forget exactly how good he was as a passer. I am too young to have seen him in his prime, but the '98 season with Minnesotathe best in his careerwas enough to make me a believer. Instead, Green got hurt and was out for the season which made way for some guy named Kurt Warner who had been bagging groceries a year before at the same time. Warner was out of a job. So there you have it: the No. The major issue I have with Elway is what I call the "label change." Van Brocklin was surrounded by the likes of Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch as well as Tom Fears; to a certain extent it is surprising that the Rams only won one NFL title, losing to the Cleveland Browns in 1950 and then again in 1955. What is really interesting about Dawson's career is that he was drafted in the first round by the Pittsburgh Steelers but never got a chance to play when the Steelers acquired Bobby Layne in a trade with Detroit. In 2016, Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians decided to give Leftwich a shot as an intern for the team (Arians was a former coach of Leftwich during their time in Pittsburgh). Grossman lost his starting job the next season and never fully bounced back, although he did have a strong final season in Washington. Here are the quarterbacks that have been taken from sixth overall to tenth overall over the last decade: Justin Herbert ( Los Angeles Chargers , 1.6 2020) Daniel Jones ( New York Giants , 1.6 2019) Theismann was notable for wearing only a single-bar face mask that would not obstruct his vision throughout his career, and is perhaps most remembered for how his career ended: Hall of Fame LB Lawrence Taylor snapped Theismann's leg in half on a Monday Night Football game in November of 1985 while sacking the Redskins' QB. The first quarterback to start in Super Bowls with two different teams was Craig Morton, who appeared in the 1970 big game with the Dallas Cowboys and did the same in 1977 with the Denver Broncos. To this date, Layne remains the best quarterback in Lions franchise history, though now Lions faithful might be daring to hope that they might have found the answer in Matthew Stafford. Ferguson's best year was probably in 1975, when he threw 25 touchdown passes to tie for the league high that year (Fran Tarkenton was the other). for NFL news and in-depth analysis concerning the 2020 season and beyond. Well, Joe Namath's numbers aren't that great, either, as far as his career goes, and Namath is in the Hall of Fame. Having retired in the summer of 2021, according to the NFL, Drew Brees played in the National Football League as a quarterback for over 20 years, primarily with the New Orleans Saints. As "pilot" of the famous "Air Coryell" offense, Dan Fouts was the quarterback for the San Diego Chargers in the 1970s and 1980s. He would go on to spend the entirety of his 11-year Hall of Fame career with the Cowboys, becoming one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history. Fouts was surrounded by players like Kellen Winslow, Charlie Joiner, John Jefferson, and Wes Chandler, so there was no shortage of targets. McNair's Titans did appear in one Super Bowl, which they lost to the "Greatest Show on Turf" when WR Kevin Dyson was famously stopped one yard short of what would have been a game tying touchdown to send the Super Bowl into overtime. Quarterbacks are often the highest paid player on the team and are commonly seen dating professional models; attending the biggest parties; and buying the biggest houses. At the same time, you hear people slam him for being basically a glorified game manager on a team that won FIVE championships (three NFL titles and the first two Super Bowls). Professional careers align with athletic peaks, and the aging process will eventually force everyone, even Hall of Fame locks such as Peyton Manning, to retire. List of all Oakland Raiders starting quarterbacks The number of games they started during the season is listed to the right: List of American Football League players Lists of NFL starting quarterbacks Oakland Raiders Team . Fouts was taken in the third round out of the University of Oregon, and led the league in passing yardage four times in his career. But uh again, if your guy was that good Yeah, he's an old timer, but he warrants this spot. Starr would earn Super Bowl MVP honors in both of those wins. From that logic, I figure I'm within my rights to bump the league's most polarizing player into the top 80. If you ask Boller what his plans are post-NFL, he will likely tell you that he is trying to "change the world, one bar at a time." Longevity alone doesn't do it for me. But for Roger Staubach they did. Just shows you exactly how young I am. More recently, Smith (on the right in the photo above) became part of a group (including Ted Ginn Sr. and Eric Metcalf) to help bring medical marijuana dispensaries to the Cleveland area. There is no more revered or analyzed position in the NFL than quarterback. He is also the only quarterback on this list to also kick field goals in professional NFL games, even if most of his numbers are pre-merger. The 25 Chicago Bears starting quarterbacks of the last 20 years, ranked. The former No. Although his NFL days are over, Clausen has refused to give up on his love of the game. Having retired in the summer of 2021, according to the NFL, Drew Brees played in the National Football League as a quarterback for over 20 years, primarily with the New Orleans Saints. Clausen was touted as being a competitive, arrogant gunslinger when he was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2010. You wouldn't necessarily think of him as a great quarterback, but the man played in the league for 21 years, and he piled up tons of statistics. Despite that, he would spend the longest stint of his 17-season career with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 1995 to 2004, when he decamped to join the Washington Redskins. Clausen left the NFL quietly after the 2015 NFL season. Elway cited his chronic left knee as a big reason for his decision. Anderson completed a much higher percentage of passes than did his contemporaries and in his only Super Bowl appearance was stonewalled by the great San Francisco 49ers dynasty. 1 overall draft choice by the New England Patriots in 1993, and he remained with the team until 2001 when he was hit by Jets LB Mo Lewis and was injured. Only Joe Montana can rival Bradshaws perfect 4-0 record in Super Bowl starts. A two-time Super Bowl champion (XL, XLIII), he's the youngest starting quarterback to win a Lombardi Trophy (age 23). As a general rule, things I value most on a player's resume are clutch plays and championships. Even so, his immense talent led teams to repeatedly take chances on him, which allowed him to put up big numbers. Go figure the only time a quarterback has won a Super Bowl and retired happened for the same franchise. It is interesting to note that Jones is occasionally described as someone who would be one of the better players ever, had he been in possession of a better supporting cast; this view is held by former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi. When you watch highlight films from the 1970s, you see a lot of Terry Bradshaw. The 13-time Pro Bowl signal-caller is second in NFL history in passing yards (80,358), completions (7,142), and touchdown passes (571). He would ultimately go on to a storybook career with the Rams, Giants and Cardinals that spanned 12 years. Keep in mind that the only active players who rank highly on the countdown have enjoyed long and accomplished careers. Miami 'definitely on the table' for QB in 2023 offseason, per report, Breaking down Tom Brady's record by season with Buccaneers and Patriots. 1 overall draft pick in the 1989 NFL Draft following an outstanding collegiate career that began at Oklahoma and concluded at UCLA. Snead played in the league for 15 years. Chris Chandler is another guy who makes the list primarily because of his longevityhe played in the NFL for a whopping 17 years at the QB position. Also, continue to visit. Culpepper wasn't fundamentally sound, occasionally throwing across his body or into traffic, but he had a great supporting cast headlined by Moss, and so he did pretty well for himself. Of all the good Cowboys quarterbacks, Don Meredith is probably the one who is most frequently forgotten. He was named NFL MVP in 1966 and named to the Pro Bowl four times. He's tough as nails, too- he underwent secret surgery to repair a torn ACL before the Chargers' AFC championship game AND PLAYED IN THE GAME. He and his wife then started a nurse agency company in Florida that allows nurses to travel for work for months at a time and also provides nursing homes and hospitals with on-call nurses if needed. Brady has long said that his goal was to play until he was 45, and reported marital issues which ultimately turned into a divorce made the idea of him returning for a 24th season very unlikely. This happened while Garrad himself was overcoming the burdens of Crohn's Disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2004. Kilmer was selected 11th overall in the NFL draft (39th overall in the AFL draft) out of UCLA. Both had started in 1990, but neither separated themselves. He competed on the Golf Channel's Big Break show and also held a quarterback counsel position with the start up Major League Football (MLF). However, in 1958, the Lions traded Layne to the Pittsburgh Steelers what happened then is the subject of much debate. Esiason entered the NFL in 1984 as the Cincinnati Bengals' second round draft choice, 38th overall, but was actually the first quarterback selected that year, much to the chagrin of NFL Draft "talking head" Mel Kiper (just ask if you're interested in what I think of Kiper's hair style) and in an unusual turn of events; quarterbacks are typically the position that is most in demand early in the draft. 4 NFL MVPs (2003, 2004, 2008, 2009) * = league record for most MVPs in modern era. 1 in career passing yards (84,520) and touchdowns (624), and he just led the league in both categories in the 2021 season, at the age of 44. I'm not sure that's a fair question, but it is regularly asked nonetheless, and Staubach comes in at No. And it appears that Brady's not quite done, as after being "retired" for less than 45 days, he announced that he would be returning to Tampa Bay for his third season with the Buccaneers and 23rd overall. Grogan ran for over 500 yards and had five rushing TDs himself during that season, and he wasn't afraid to take off and run. He still has time to do so, especially now that he has Chad Johnson on his team catching passes, but it looks like the Bengals are still the Bungles when it comes to putting together back-to-back playoff seasons. Like Bert Jones, it is sometimes difficult to figure out exactly how good Manning was simply because there was so little talent around him. However, I reserve the right to call him a douche bag. Please enjoy. Just look at the numbers. He would soon make his way to Green Bay in 1992 where he would flourish for the next 16 seasons. Favre built a legacy in Green Bay, leading the Packers to back-to-back Super Bowls (XXXI and XXXII) and a world championship in 1996 (XXXI). Van Brocklin retired almost immediately after winning his second title with the Eagles; as it would turn out, that was the only time that Vince Lombardi's Packers would be defeated in a championship game of any kind. It also helped him earn NFL MVP honors in 1990. He might be embattled and wearing the wrong team's colors these days, but the fact that he's become a polarizing figure shouldn't obscure Favre's legendary career. He took the Panthers to a Super Bowl, where they lost to the New England Patriots in one of the Patriots' three titles in a four-year span. Theismann's Redskins won Super Bowl XVII, but failed to defend their title in Super Bowl XVIII the next year. By 21st-century standards, Len Dawsons stats from the Pro Football Hall of Fame dont jump out at you, but hes one of the all-time greats to step on the field. Many believe Leftwich has what it takes to eventually become a head coach in the NFL. Stabler, of course, was right in the middle of it. Pro Football Network, LLC. Still, there's not a lot of space for him in the San Francisco sports pantheon, so Brodie is often overlooked. Morton was replaced in 1971 as the Cowboys' quarterback by Roger Staubach, but Morton actually had a longer career than did "Captain Comeback," leaving Dallas in 1974. After a swirl of rumors, Brady officially announced his retirement from the NFL after 22 seasons, though some fans hope hell reconsider and make a comeback. He looks reinvigorated since joining the Ravens, and understandably sohe seems to have tired of all the losing in St. Louis. But then the unthinkable happenedthe Patriots lost. After leaving one storied franchise after the 1983 season, he landed with the Raiders in 1987 after spending time in the USFL, playing with them in both Los Angeles and Oakland. However, it's not like the one ring by itself gives Favre a boost.
