The Gipper Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Here is something to ponder: Categories of Great QBs. I will limit this to just those that played in the Super Bowl era: Greatest Arm Talent QBs: Aaron Rodgers, Dan Marino, Brett Favre, John Elway, Joe Namath, Patrick Mahomes, Warren Moon Greatest Winners: Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman Greatest Cerebral QBs: Peyton Manning, John Unitas, Drew Brees, Roger Staubach, Bart Starr, Bernie Kosar Unique Athletic talent or those with Chutzpah: Fran Tarkenton, Russell Wilson, Steve Young, Cam Newton, Doug Williams, Ben Roethlisberger Who did I miss?

Frank Ryan. Very cerebral. I think he was pretty good at scrambling around in the backfield, but I was a young teenage Browns fan at the time. One of my favorite players back then was Gary Collins. Caught a lot of Ryan's TD's. My other favorite player was Leroy Kelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: : Archie Roberts wo played for the Browns, later got his MD from Case Western Reserve Blaine Nye who played DT for a number of years for the Cowboys got his PhD in Finance from Stanford. And Charley Johnson, QB for the St. Louis Cardinals...who gave the Browns fits, got his PhD from Washington Univ. of St. Louis in chemical engineering.
