Okay, in my opinion the two best quarterbacks in history are:
John Elway and Dan Marino.
These are two QBs who carried their teams on their shoulders.
Elway played on some average teams during the 80s yet brought the Broncos to three (horrendous) superbowls. The man doesn't have the best stats but to me stats don't matter, its the WINS which I think Elway has the NFL's most of...
Marino is the stat-master. I've never seen such an accurate passer in my time... he also had an incredibly quick release and was very aware of his surroundings... he also had some pretty cruddy teams and its a shame he never won the big game.
In my opinion Joe Montana is one of the more (but not most) overrated quarterbacks. Yes he was good, but look at what he had working for him: he was using an offensive system that at the time tore other teams to part (west-coast where its the receivers that do the work), great receivers and an awesome line.
I could go on and on but I don't have the time, add your $0.02
