So...Peyton can't win the big game, huh?

If you've EVER said that...shame on you. Don't be so quick to hop on the popular opinion bandwagon.

GO COLTS! f**k THE DOUBTERS!

I've said that, and he finally did it. Never won a big game in high school, never won in college, never in the NFL until 2 weeks ago and then last night. He just moved into my top 5 all-time QBs last night (a ring is required for membership, and you have to have played in an era that I watched). My five in order.

1. Elway
2. Montana
3. Brady
4. Manning
5. Bradshaw (I could easily be convinced he doesn't belong in this group)

Brady's still ahead of him because he's still got 2more rings. Both of them could end up being my 2 faves all-time by the end of their careers. Manning's got to win at least one more and break most of Marino's passing records, and Brady's got to continue putting up numbers and win another one as well.

I'd switch your #1 & #2 around and replace your #5 with about a half
a dozen other QB's. Steelers won those games with defense more
that anything.

I switch 1 and 2 around in my own head all the time. One day it's Elway, the next it's Montana. They're more like 1 and 1A in my book. I'm not saying TB is top five for everybody, but he's one of my 5 favorites. The Steelers were the team when I was a little kid and he was my first sports hero.

Sorry, I don't put Favre in that elite group. Top 10, yes, for now, but not top 5.

You're nuts, Jones.

"You are nuts fit perfectly in my mouth" doesn't even make sense Wallace.

Why? Because I don't put Favre in the top 5 all-time? Numbers don't tell the whole story. Yes, he would often make a spectacular throw to win a game or keep a drive alive, but he would also often throw a terrible interception to kill his team. The greatest of the greats don't do that.

They also know when it's time to hang it up...

It's certainly going to boil down to opinions...I just happen to disagree. I will say, however, that I won't rank players that I didn't get to watch and/or don't remember ever watching.
