Top Ten Best Quarterbacks
With five Super Bowl rings and countless NFL records, Tom Brady is undoubtedly the best quarterback to ever play in the National Football League.
Even though he's a great quarterback, I think it's hard to argue that he is the best ever. The main reason I think you could argue that he is the best of all time is because he has the completion percentage record for a single season.

Manning is the third-best quarterback we've ever seen in the NFL. He's leaving with plenty of records and a couple Super Bowl wins, but that's not enough to put him at the top. Joe Montana won more championships and led an offense in San Francisco that would revolutionize football.
Joe Montana is the greatest quarterback to ever set foot on a field. He knew his way around the pocket and was always able to find an open receiver for big yards. Their is no one to compare to Montana because of the amount of yards, touchdowns, and avoided sacks that he had.
Dan Marino was an exceptional quarterback during his tenure with the Miami Dolphins, but he lacks the one thing that qualifies a player to be in the category of the best. Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl Championship, and lost many of the times that he had played in the playoffs during his career.
Favre has played nearly two full decades, never missed a single start, and at 40 years old in 2009, recorded quite arguably his best season as a pro. Even if it's not Favre's personal best, it's easily the best season the NFL has seen by a quarterback (or any player) after hitting the age of 40.

Manning had two interceptions, but this was still, by far, his best performance of a young season that serves as a snapshot of his entire career: some good, some bad and a lot of average. (And, yes, there are those two Super Bowl victories.) By almost any metric available, Manning is strikingly average.

Cam Newton is the evolutionary quarterback. At a chiseled 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds with 4.60 wheels, he has the size and speed to match the All-Pro defensive ends giving chase. A half-decade into his career, he gets his offense into the right plays, reads defenses, exhausts his progressions, takes advantage of over-aggressive pass rushes and attacks every inch of the field with one of strongest arms in the league.
