February 7th, 2022 marks the one-year anniversary of Tom Brady winning his final ring at home so it’s a great time to look at the top-5 greatest NFL Quarterbacks of all time with him further cementing his spot on the list exactly a year ago.
The Quarterback is the boss and commander on the field. The position who sees everything that is taking place on the other side of the line of scrimmage. The main man who soaks in the glory with a win and the one who takes the heat on a hard loss. Slingshot throws, pin point accuracy, and deep 50-yard bombs carry all the characteristics of what a great Quarterback can possess in the arm of a leader.
Over the decades, the men that have led teams in NFL history are really the guys that carry the most pressure. It is the way they handle that pressure on the field that separates the best from the rest. The QB position has been the subject of a never-ending debate since the NFL was established.
This list consists of five unbelievable talents and faces of the league’s past. They are legendary names that fans think of immediately when they hear the word “football”. Honorable mentions includes: John Elway, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Johnny Unitas with Patrick Mahomes also having a legitimate chance to one day crack this list.
