It's a tough list and there are no right or wrong answers but you have to put a lot of weight on winning (which puts Marino just out of my top 5). Meanwhile Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw had amazing teams around them and actually had fairly average stats despite winning multiple rings. Stats aren't everything of course but they tell us a lot. It's tough for me to even have Manning at #5 because he has been so poor in the postseason. Same reason Favre isn't there, as a Packer fan I watched playoff disaster after playoff disaster the last ten years of his career.
Maybe its the whole Chicago/ Milwaukee Midwest connection thing we have between us but you have it correct my friend. I didn't see Unitas but I heard he was the man..
