I have always liked Brees because he can do so much with the height disadvantage, but I would put him in a class with Dan Fouts and Jurgensen (out of the ones I've seen). I remember thinking Favre was right up there, but Rodgers made me forget him. You guys are helping me come up with a better list: Montana, Young, Staubach, Rodgers, Marino. Then Manning and Brady. Then Elway and Favre. I have to admit that I also loved Don Meredith, but I was a Cowboys fan and he was the leader when I was a kid.
Very interesting the choices being made. I love that Unitas is the favorite of many who have also seen today's stars. I'm dying to re-watch some old Colts film. I think if you watched Bart Starr play, you'd also be impressed.
