Early Life and Career
Peyton Manning was born on March 24, 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Rodgers is one of two active players who made our list.
Staubach was also named MVP of Super Bowl VI after throwing for 183 yards, one passing touchdown, and posting a quarterback rating of 102.6.
After bringing Dallas its first two Lombardi Trophies, Staubach was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. He is a Green Bay legend and deserves a spot on our list.
13.) Roger Staubach - Dallas Cowboys
Staubach is a two-time Super Bowl champion for the Dallas Cowboys.
Marino was the first quarterback to break the 5,000-yard mark when he threw for a then-NFL record 5,084 yards in 1984. However, Young finally broke through in 1994 and guided the team to a convincing 49-26 win over the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX. He also set the record for most consecutive games (47) with a touchdown pass.
He won the first of two NFL MVP Awards after throwing for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns in his first season as a starter in 2018.
Kansas City's signal-caller has made the AFC Championship Game in all seven of his NFL seasons and has already appeared in five Super Bowls to go along with three Lombardi Trophies. If he closes out his final season(s) with Pittsburgh in style, then he could move further up this list.
Either way, Rodgers has one of the best arms we've ever seen, and it's been a joy to watch him play over the years.
7.) Steve Young - Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers
Most casual fans are probably unaware that Young began his career in Tampa Bay.
Following two uninspiring seasons with the Buccaneers, Young joined the 49ers and sat behind future Hall of Famer Joe Montana for four seasons before taking over the reins in 1991.
Young and the 49ers initially struggled to get over the hump and win a title when he took over as starter. His place on this list might be up for debate.
Brees is one of just two players in NFL history with over 80,000 passing yards and 500 passing touchdowns. However, it took off when he signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2006 and helped guide the team to its first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XLIV.
Saints head coach Sean Payton was the right man to help take Brees' game to new heights. His best postseason performance was in Super Bowl XXVII when he threw four touchdown passes in a 52-17 win over the Buffalo Bills en route to being named Super Bowl MVP.
11.) Johnny Unitas - Baltimore Colts, San Diego Chargers
Unitas won three NFL MVP Awards (1959, 1964, 1967) during his 18-year career.
His 61,361 passing yards rank ninth all time, and his 420 touchdown passes rank seventh. Montana's four Super Bowl rings and three Super Bowl MVP Awards cement his place as one of the top five quarterbacks of all time.
3.) Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos
Taken as the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, Manning is one of a few prospects who justified his status as a number one overall pick.
Jackson has been the best rushing quarterback in the NFL since taking over as Baltimore's starter in 2018.
What more needs to be said?
8.) Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers
Rodgers is a four-time league MVP and won a Super Bowl MVP following the Packers' victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
He currently ranks seventh all-time in passing yards and fifth all-time in passing touchdowns.
Over his 18-year career, Manning shattered numerous records and secured his place among the all-time greats. What's not debatable, though, is that he is one of the best quarterbacks to ever step on an NFL field.
2.) Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
Mahomes has had an unbelievable start to his NFL career. In four seasons as the Broncos starter, he led the team to two AFC Championships as well as a victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
Manning won an NFL-record five MVP Awards.
So, he did not have to do much through the air to win games.
Make no mistake about it, though, Aikman was a great player and was instrumental to the team's three Super Bowl victories in the 1990s.
