hard to start a team from scratch and have your pick of QB's and not take Elway. Favre, Brady, Marino, Manning, Kelly, Moon, Bradshaw, Aikman, Stauback; Montana, Young.......the list can be a lot longer (I even think Boomer and Bernie where very good QB's but they played at the wrong time) but Elway would be my pick. doesn't he have the most 4th quarter comeback's? If he only had a running game he might have ended up with 4 or 5 rings but that could be said for Marino too I guess. I'm a big Steeler fan and was always a huge Marino fan, I think Manning is maybe the most "football smart" guy to play the position but till Brady does it for 12 years I'll go with Elway.
