I'd still take Montana, Elway, Brady, and maybe even Young. In fact, i'd take Marino ahead of Manning if he was playing on a team with a defense and a running game, which he only had one year.

Also, i think these numbers don't measure cool in a crisis. The first 3 guys i mentioned didn't tighten up in the clutch. Manning's overall playoff record is not as impressive as those of the other guys. (Well, maybe i'm overrating Elway a bit since his teams got killed in a couple SB's.)

In other words, he piled up a bunch of MVP awards and then choked in the playoffs or Superb Owl. KamaAina Jan 2016 #1

Johnny Unitas had three MVPs before the Super Bowl era. El Supremo Jan 2016 #2

You forgot to add in championships and MVP's of Starr and Unitas when madinmaryland Jan 2016 #3

No. Starr had 3 NFL Championships before the SB. El Supremo Jan 2016 #4

Superb Owl? T_i_B Jan 2016 #9

Meh! ProfessorGAC Jan 2016 #5

What if he leaves the game when they're down and Osweiler leads the comeback? hughee99 Jan 2016 #6

He's the greatest already. El Supremo Jan 2016 #7

So your OP is a little disingenuous, since you don't think MVP's and SB's matter. hughee99 Jan 2016 #8

I don't think those MVP awards stack up equally to TBF Feb 2016 #10
