Over in the Game Room there’s a good thread about [who is the best quarterback ever](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=679662) and it seems to me that that would make an interesting poll question. So here it is, and vote for no more than five (5). If you think of any I’ve missed, vote for “Other” and name him/them. ---

Joe Montana tops my list. Glad to see I’m in good company. My next three are Fouts, Brees, and although it pains me to vote for him because I HATE the fucking Patriots, Tom Brady. ---

Yeah, had to go with “other” and say Johnny Unitas. ---

Favre’s not even the best QB that played for the packers in the last 6 years. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > No Bret Favre? No Unitas? Look at his numbers. His numbers and how many games he started are enough to put him in the top-10. And Brees? Doesn’t belong in the top 20. Archie Manning and Jim Mcmahon but no Unitas or Favre? What a joke. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > Dan Majkowski? Randy White? Lynn Dickey? I assume you mean [Randy Wright](http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WrigRa00.htm), not [Randy White](http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WhitRa00.htm). 🙂 Although, I bet that White would have _still_ been a better QB than Wright. ---
