The 10 Greatest Quarterbacks of All Time 

Amen, brother. The real GOAT.

Different game

@@paulclancy789 no same game football

I sadly get why Sammy Baugh was left off of the list, but leaving off Otto Graham is s crime.

You must be a Bears fan.

Agree completely! It's a different game now, but in the days of Unitas and Starr, the QBs truly led.

And I believe one N F L Title before Super Bowls. Maybe 2. Touchdown on the Frozen Tundra.

It's rare that you see Starr on these top ten lists. I would have him on my top ten list. A 9 and 1 playoff record speaks volumes for me about how great of a Q.B. he was.

@@davidwadsworth8982 He had 3 NFL titles before the Superbowls.

@@cleanestbestpleasure14 Serious I thank you for correcting me,I though it was 2. hat gives him 5 titles. When teams could play Defense and Qb's were fair game.

Same year ! That is a RECORD that will NEVER come close to being set again ? Love Unitas , Fouts , Marino . But, this is the man that CHANGED passing for the NFL at that time !

And Sonny Jurgensen, one of the finest long passers/gunslingers in the game's history.

There are too many great ones to name a top 10. Maybe a top 20 or 25 would get them all in.

Geez, Thank You So Very Much for not being the only guy (besides me) who knows that. How good would today's QB's be if they had to play DB instead of sitting on the sidelines?

Please don't get too big on 'Gunslingers'. Favre was a gunslinger, he won one championship, and the kick returner was the MVP. In the playoffs, gunslingers tend to throw interceptions. @@markfrommaryland3825

He was great, but he also had the best supporting cast of any QB ever.

@gattodiossa6227 i am 72 and remember those pittsburgh years. it should be remembered that even though the league cracked down on quarterback injuries, big ben, peyton manning, rogers, and everyone else, including mahomes has played under the same rules. when you look at the two decades of work, where brady would have been inducted into the hall of fame in either decade; when you consider that often he did not have the best players on his teams, when like montana, again and again he had to carry the team on his shoulders for a comeback win; the 'will of the wisp' has carried himself rather well. i wonder how big ben, rogers, and mahomes would fare in the 70's and 80's. now to terry bradshaw. he might make my top ten. he was an undervalued quarterback in that he had a bevy of hall of famers in front of him. the steel curtain was one of the best in football, if not the best of all time. the quarterback could be badly injured in that era, but you had to get to him first. bradshaw could throw that biscuit. he did his job. he made it count when it was important to do so. would he have brady's career or stats in the last 20 years? would he have won 7 superbowls? brady benefited from a bad division, but brady had to show up when it counted the most, and he did. would bradshaw have won 6 superbowls with belichek? maybe ..... would montana have won 6? maybe. would stabauch? i believe bradshaw is overlooked because of how good and powerful those pittsburgh teams were. i never was a fan of favre. i would put bradshaw in his spot. otherwise i put bradshaw in the top 15 because 'we will never know.'

@@edwardjjanzen23 Bradshaw belongs in top ten. Any great passer could have played for Belichick. Staubach is definitely top ten. Steve Young is my #1.

@@JoeKoOhNo gotta give u a thumbs down when you were giving #1 to steve young. wow! he was no joe montana. no one puts steve young in the top ten. give me a link that states otherwise, my friend.

@@edwardjjanzen23 Going to have to give you the finger. Don't care what the ignorant think. Steve Young: #1 rated passer 6 times. He's #1 all-time .Montana & Brady? Only rated #1, twice. Steve Young: #6 total rushing yards in career. Montana & Brady? Not in top ten Steve Young: #2 rushing TDs career Montana & Brady: not in top ten. Young: 64.3 per cent completion avg,. Montana: 63.2. Young: 8.0 yds per completion avg; Montana 7.5. Young career QB rating: 96.8; Montana: 92.3. So, Young was the better passer and runner. Obviously, Montana was no Steve Young.

Who?????? Never heared of him

Yes, when he retired he dam near owned every record in the book.

He held the passing yardage record for 19 years and his scrambling was ahead of its time and now everyone wants a mobile QB.

@@goeast12 what hurt Fran was he never won a Super Bowl !

If you use the REAL GOAT" scoring system that measures how far above average all quarterbacks were among the quarterbacks in their own era, Tarkenton is the best quarterback of all time. #2 Peyton Manning #3 Drew Brees #4 Johnny Unitas and #5 Rodgers. #6 Y. A. Tittle #7 Tom Brady #8 Staubach #9 Steve Young #10 Dan Fouts #11 Norm Van Brocklin #12 Dan Marino #13 Joe Montana. These 13 IMO deserve a special wing in the Hall of Fame. It is a long drop in the scoring down to Sonny Jurgensen at #14

yep 7 championships in 10 seasons,pretty darn good

maybe in AAFL ... NFL numbers were average. - especially by todays standards

@@csnide6702 ottos impact was so important that it forced the NFL TO EXPAND to 3 additional teams from the AAFL ,colts, 49ers, Browns. He also forced the Rams out of Cleveland even after the Rams won The NFL TITLE there. Ottos also was beating NFL TEAMS while with the AAFL BROWNS. PAPA BEAR HALLES WAS SMART BUISNESS MAN to do all the things he did to make the NFL YOU KIDS WATCH TODAY.

@@markkramer487 I'm not saying he wasn't good -especially for that time.... but the competition he was playing against wasn't that great.

@@csnide6702 that's a very arogant statement. The game was much tuffer at that time then it is today. The rules of the NFL of today are so players can play more games to make money, so the contact is not as brutal. They played in mud,ran across baseball in fields of hard dirt, helmets were weak, no face masks. Please stop degrading early football that created this great league. Otto should be up there with Tom Brady and if you don't like that opinion then your a sore looser.

No doubt 👍

Well, there was no one who thought passing would work. You realize, there was a tone when no one had ever “gone long?”

I agree. I dislike Brady because he's is really good and im salty. BUT, if Brady was to play back when Montana played.....Brady would be crying on the ground like a little bitch..

I agree but the era should include the 80s because coaches still ran the ball a heck of a lot more than passing. Put Marino or Elway in today's offenses and they'd have 6000 yards and 40 tds a season.

I was looking for this comment! You are spot on, you can barely touch qb’s now without getting a penalty.

Carried chill out dude had 2 more TDs than picks he’d be average if it wasn’t for the curtain

Needs to go to hairclub for men Opppppps women

@@profeex9789 Wrong. He was entirely responsible for two Super Bowl victories and held Super Bowl passing records for years. Steelers were losing when Bradshaw threw Immaculate Reception that won the game. If you think anyone could have completed that pass, you don't know how to throw a football.

@@JoeKoOhNo dude okay Franco made the catch. Iykyk, the guys average stay mad it looks good on you

@@profeex9789 Like I said, you don't know how to throw a football. Stupidity looks exemplary on you.

no they won 5 championships in a row, three super bowls. remember before it was called the super bowl. in response to a toy the super ball

Booth Tarkington was a novelist-you mean Fran Tarkenton

@@jerrygoldfarb7739 Who's she?

Bradshaw got rings because of the Steel Curtain. Aikman was a lockbox. Tarkenton would be in the top 20.

I'm right there with you .. I was sitting here thinking I'm either a delusional cowboys fan. Or Troy Aikman was one of the best to do it and probably the most accurate

​@paulschumann560 and your right Bradshaw is far underrated

Looks like we may have to do 11-20!

Otto Graham played in the championship game--whether AAFC or NFL--every season of his career, and won 7 out of the 10 of them.

These computer AI voiceovers ARE not worth listening to.. But ya'll do.

@@robertlevine2827 Otto Graham 3 NFL Championships and that's what we ranking NFL Quarterbacks not AAFC

Steve Young is #1.. Rodgers belongs in top ten. Favre, Peyton, Elway, Marino do not.

Marino played in the 80's and 90's

Like you, Unitas was my boyhood hero when growing up, learning the game of football from my dad. Unitas is on the list, if you ask me, because his influence on the game is timeless. He was a masterful field general - one of the best to ever play.

you are right ,he was great.giant fan i hated him

Nope

Bart Starr should be top 10 anything as a QB@

🤔

you sound butt hurt lol. funny you say that as the balls were properly inflated in that game in the second half and actually beat em worse than the first half. oh ya they were properly inflated for the super bowl too which is bradys second best second half 4th qtr in the super bowl 😮

Thanks, Earl!

I almost forgot another one of my all time favorites ... Bart Starr !!! Top 6 or 7 for sure !!!

That was Sammy Baugh 20 years earlier.

Big Ben is top 6 easy

Joe Namath's stats are abysmal

but Namath was so injured he didn't play that long.

While Namath may have been "important" because of Super Bowl III, he was mediocre for most of his career. Namath was 25 at that game. Name me one other big game he won after that.

@@carseye1219 Ummmm????

And it [ WAS ] this Dan that changed the NFL into a passing league , NOT Marino ! Fouts was doing it at least 5 years before Marino was even in the NFL ?

Fouts was the best QB to never go to the Superbowl. If the 80 AFC Championship game was in San Diego, the Chargers would have won.

​@@philipbiggs5883if me aunty had bollocks she'd be my uncle

Damn fuckin' right RE: Dan Fouts. BTW; Air Coryell = The ORIGINAL West Coast Offense. If my memory serves me correctly; San Diego's on the WEST COAST!!!!! There4; I stand by what I've said RE: The Air Coryell Offense.

@@philipbiggs5883 W/all due respect; I believe that u r actually alluding 2 the 1981 AFC Championship Game vs. the Bengals (the "-59 WC" Game). 1980 was The Oakland Raiders.

Sammy Baugh once lead the lead in both TD passes as a QB and interceptions as a DB in the same season

That's awesome.

Sammy, Sid, Otto Graham…kids nowadays don’t give a damn about history.

@@MBubbaBlumeTheBeardofModesty Sadly so.

I think that might be a good argument for who the better 'football player' might be, but NOT the best QB, which is the topic of this video.

Oh Joe Kapp was the losing QB, not Tarkenton, when Vikings lost their 1st SB. Tarkenton then lost 3 SBs. We, Patriots, got saddled with Joe Kapp the following season (1970), he was terrible!!!

Best defenses of all time. Only had to put up 20 points to win 1 time in any of his 4 Super Bowl games. Defenses were definitely the main reason for his rings, not Terry.

He didnt win those games. The defense won those games

@@richardeverson6994 4-0 in super bowls and called his own plays

Everyone knows…defense wins superbowls. ☺️

If your just talking Championships, Otto Graham went to 10 straight NFL Championships and won 7 of them. Of course Paul Brown had a lot to with it too.

@@loringjohnson7797 Yep. It’s a team and the coach is part of that.

Well said.

It is a team game, quarterbacks don't win championships. Both Starr's and Brady's teams were led by the defenses. For Bart that was true every year and for Tom all but two. Brady's teams had the luxury of 17 top 10 defenses which is more than twice as many as any other quarterback in history.

@@bryanjones4444 Then kudos to Belichick for that. I don’t know any SB winning team that didn’t have a defense that came through in big moments. In the patriots championships and defeats the plays that stand out are on both sides of the ball.. But I can’t agree with you that QB’s don’t win championships. QB’s making plays when they need to make them win championships too.

Sammy Baugh no where near goat 🤣🤣🤣

Just because you first to do something don't make you goat

Goat 🐐 Brady 7 rings, 5 superbowl mvps, 627 touchdown passes and 88 touchdown passes playoffs and 15 game winning drives playoffs

@@TerryLanda-fj9iv They didn't keep the stats needed to fully analyze Sammy's career at the time that he played, but he is definitely top 5 and very likely the GOAT.

Appreciated! Sincerely, a Vikings fan.

Feel fre to post your Top 10 and we'll see if we can make a video from it

Otto Graham 3 NFL championships only ànd that league his other titles came from another league AAFC y'all need to do y'all research before y'all try to twist a false narrative lol We talking greatest NFL Quarterbacks Greateat Quarterbacks all the NFL 1. Tom Brady 2. Joe Montana 3. Patrick Mahomes 4. Peyton Manning 5. John Elway

It astounds me, that even into the late 1970s, racism didn't allow an obvious first-round draft choice like him to get picked. Disgusting.

I’m aWashington fan! Billy Kilmer was not a ‘great QB’ . He wasn’t even the greatest qb on that era’s teams. The Hall of Famer, Sonny Jurgenson was better. Kilmer was a wing T QB in college and was mostly a runner and with San Francisco 49’s. He was a sacrificial lamb in New Orleans and was beat to hell by that expansion franchise. Watch the 1969 movie ‘Number One’ starring Carlton Heston and you will see it is Kilmer who is taking all those beatings used in the film. It was George Allen who admired his grit and resurrected his career. I am an old,old timer and actually saw this stuff.

Bill Kilmer? Skeet shooters yelled "pull" whenever he threw up one of his ducks.

How many people are you dropping out to fit these 4 in? They don't all fit into 10.

Nope nada

Totally agree

Namath had horrendous stats. You are right, the upset, prediction, fur coats and commercials got him in the Hall. His performance in the Super Bowl had little to do with the win, Matt Snell and the Jet Defense won that game. Namath had a strong arm, no knees and was mostly a bad decision maker. He had maybe three good seasons. I would take a dozen QBs just from his era over him.

I've always felt that people have always overrated Montana a bit. Yes he won 4 SBs, etc, but so did Bradshaw. It takes more than just the QB to win a SB. It takes all the players and coaches.

Sammy Baugh made the position relevant.

They also smoked 25 a day, pounder beers and did steroids.

@@thesportingblog23 Yep, they smoked and pounded beers and played hungover a lot. Some guys used steroids but players are still getting caught for "PEDS" in modern football. It's sad when golfers & baseball players are using roids, lol. Someone said that Barry Bonds' head is still growing.

Not according to lots of people in the comments!

Moon must have been close to making anyone's Top 10.

And Moon could scramble very well. All this after tearing up the CFL winning championships and personal awards then.

How many SBs, with Patriots, did QB Brian Hoyer sit on the bench? Now he's sitting on the bench with the Raiders.

Apparently, Tom Brady did also.

Terry Bradshaw did also

Great point.

😜

Montana did

It's subject to debate, certainly, but view all available footage from their careers (regular season as well as playoffs/Super Bowl) and the opposite view might emerge. Plenty of reasons why. I won't list them all here, and maybe a tie at the #10 spot would be the most logical outcome of all. But if I had to choose one, I'd have to take Roger. We all know that Bradshaw and the Steelers defeated the Cowboys head-to-head during the 70s, but judging from the stats, Terry was under much less defensive pressure. In the four times they played, Pittsburgh allowed less than half as many QB sacks as Dallas...and that's despite Staubach's ability to escape the pass rush. It's pretty impressive that he kept them close in the Super Bowls. Dallas's offensive line was solid by NFL standards, but overmatched against Pittsburgh's front four. Besides that, despite the perception that Bradshaw "called the plays" and Staubach didn't, there are many accounts of Terry struggling to understand and remember the playbook, asking for reminders in the huddle (if it's of interest, read Preston Pearson's book, available on the Internet Archive), and finally just cranking it up and throwing...into a blanket of opposing defenders. Take a look at the pick-six he threw to Vernon Perry in the 1979-80 AFC Championship game, on which Merlin Olsen remarked, "There's no way that pass goes to anyone but Vernon Perry." And this is prime Bradshaw, not his early-career stumbles - and there are plenty of other examples. In contrast, Staubach had a much lower interception %. (See: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bw4by31W24g.html View the replay starting at 14:31) Despite the trope that Staubach relied on having his plays sent in by Tom Landry, Roger actually reworked many of the individual pass patterns in the huddle, which sounds even more intricate than just calling the play from the outset. Moreover, Landry and the QBs worked out a detailed, situational game plan early in the week, in order to practice the plays, so they'd already knew what they were going to call. This being said, Bradshaw absolutely ranks as an all-time great and as long as the list doesn't extend beyond #10, why not a multi-way tie that also includes Bart Starr, Fran Tarkenton, and Dan Fouts? If a key criterion is impact on the game, each of them definitely bore that impact. Meanwhile, in terms of ability and performance, I'd have to put Steve Young near the top.

These assholes never put Steelers on their lists. One moron did a top ten dynasties and left the "70's" Steelers off the list. Acting like Dallas with 3 SB's in 5 seasons was phenomenal. I guess he forgot the Steelers 4 SB's in 6 seasons. The ONLY ream to win back to back twice! The NFL changed rules because of the Steelers defense. Otherwise they might have won 6 in a row.

​​@@stevendreifach7737Preston Pearson? You mean that malcontent the Steellers got rid of? Always whinning about not getting enough carries! We had Franco, of course you're not going to get a bunch of carries. He hated Bradshaw, and Noll! Of course you would take Roger! You're a Cowboys fan! Terry was better! Look at the winning TD pass to Swann in SB X Roger would never stand in there like that, knowing he was going to get smashed. Look at SB XIII Terry threw 5 TD passes. Without Bradshaw, even our great defense wouldn't have won those games. You need to rewatch the films!

It's a tough call but the author went with his choice... It's a debate for sure!

@@markellison1707 By Preston Pearson, I'm referring to the running back who consistently averaged 12.0+ yards per reception, and was money on third down passes. He liked Terry a lot, as do most people - they were very good friends, and spent a lot of time together off the field. What happened was that Bradshaw couldn't remember any plays to call in the red zone, and was asking around the huddle. The other offensive players were taken aback, and Pearson, as a friend, tried to talk Bradshaw through the situation. Word got back to Noll, who told Pearson to keep quiet in the huddle. Obviously, Noll didn't want anyone to throw Terry a life preserver; they had a notoriously hostile relationship, which Bradshaw has spoken about at great length. On certain occasions, Noll, a former offensive lineman, grabbed Terry by the jersey or even the face mask as he came off the field. There were altercations. Bradshaw has stated that Noll was very abusive - other Steelers of the era disagree - and in the middle of all this conflict, Terry bypassed the Steeler organization in choosing someone to present him in Canton, which is a major ceremonial distinction. Franco was presented by Swann, who in turn was presented by Stallworth, etc. Bradshaw was presented by a longtime Cowboys announcer, Verne Lundquist, whom he hadn't even known that long. As for Pearson, not long after Noll told him to keep quiet in the huddle, he got pulled into more tense situations because of his role as union rep when the players held a one-month preseason strike (summer of 1974). He was released and picked up by Dallas, where he undoubtedly saw more action than he would have with Pittsburgh. But you're wrong to claim he had any sort of tension with Bradshaw. As far as Noll and Bradshaw...that's a different story, but Noll had a harsh life and could seem extremely unsympathetic. . Now, going back even further to Roger vs. Terry...if you want me to look at Super Bowl X, I think that makes my point, not yours. Dead equal in yardage (Staubach: 204 yards passing, 22 running; Bradshaw: 209 yards passing, 16 running). The difference, as I mentioned in the first post, is that Staubach was under much more pressure - he was sacked seven times, compared to two for Bradshaw. The Dallas offensive line was good, but overmatched by the Pittsburgh front four. As for your claim that Roger wouldn't stand in, well, he stayed in the game despite being sacked seven times. Super Bowl XIII? Bradshaw threw four touchdowns, not five as you said. Staubach threw three, and a certain fourth TD was dropped by Jackie Smith. Staubach threw for 228 yards and ran for 37. Bradshaw threw for 309 and ran for minus 5. So you have a 50-yard difference. That difference stems completely from a single after-the-catch run by John Stallworth. Added to that, Bradshaw lost two fumbles (none for Staubach). Granted, Bradshaw had an MVP performance and a great game, but in both Super Bowls, the difference in QB performance is pretty much a wash. Now that's just Super Bowls; the focus belongs on the entire season. Although it's obviously a team sport, Staubach's regular season winning percentage (which I believe is about 75%) is pretty extraordinary. I think people willingly give him credit despite his shortened career, because he spent a long time in the military, including a year overseas in Vietnam. Maybe it's too bad he didn't play a couple of additional years, but he had a lot more going on than football. That''s not to take anything away from Bradshaw, a definite All-Pro. You could just about rate them tied, and add Bart Starr, Fran Tarkenton, Dan Fouts, and Steve Young to the tie. If it's a top 10, why worry about a huge tie for the tenth spot? Nobody comes after.

Absolutely!!

This type of a list would be much easier to do as a top 20 instead of top 10. Of course then you would have to select 5 more quarterbacks…

keep coming up with these Redskin QBs.

Randy moss

IDK for instance Matt Ryan was on a pace take most of Brady's records and he would have done it in less time had he kept playing. If Mahomes is able to play 19 years he will likely pass what Tom did in 22 years. Someone will do it. Brees and Manning would be higher if not for the late career injuries.

Doug Flutie!!! AND he dropped kicked a PAT.

Yeah, but when they got to him he crumbled just like anybody else. The Patriots were not an interesting team to watch

Same concept as Babe Ruth in baseball. Adjusted for games per season he would rate even higher.

That's a great point. now They play 17, don't they? yeah these are not orange to orange record keepings.

What record did Unitas hold for 52 years?

Yep, the great Johnny U. He was the man.. Never a particularly athletic QB but definitely one of the most respected and top field generals in the whole history of the game.

THREE less Super Bowl wins. End of discussion. And I don't like Brady.

@@andrethegiant2877 No not quite the end. How about the THREE more Super Bowl losses? And if Montana was the 49er QB in '94 season, he'd have won that one too.

@@andrethegiant2877 Yeah, and his record is 7 - 3. I'm saying by all rights Montana would have been 5 - 0. (Siefert went with Young but Montana was still the better QB, and should have remained in that roll.)

No doubt

Really nice pick up. If you just count the quarterback's own personal play and cut out the team accomplishments piece, Sonny was the 7th best of all time when all quarterbacks since 1947 are compared to the average quarterback of their own era. And that is despite the poor coaching that he had to endure. When he finally did get some decent coaching he was well past his prime. Still in his last seasons, as the back up, his teams were 13-1 in his starts and he also played very well in relief.

@@Ellis_Hughmanning has 5 MVP’s with 2 rings while CLEARLY being superior to Brees peak vs peak. There’s no legit argument for Brees coming close to Peyton.

@@skolcole ...other than Brees literally burying him in every measurable statistic, from yards to TD's to passing accuracy. Facts are pesky things, I know, but they're hard to hide from.

It's a list. And it's valid. Which annoys you but its validity is here for all to see. Apologies for bringing out the invalid in you.

You are not the first person to vote Joe. This much is clear.

It's all opinions... It's a list of someone's opinion. There is no right answer.

What ignorance. Woodley went to the Super Bowl with the #1 ranked defense. Marino went there with the #19 defense, and that defense got way worse as Marino's career progressed. Bradshaw had about 4 inept seasons, before he turned it around permanently in 75. In 74, as the Steelers won their first title, Terry was benched and had a bad season. Staubach never had a pair of receivers that Terry had. Staubach had a +44 TD to INT ratio, and Bradshaw was +2. Net Yards per Attempt is the stat the best measures a QB's effectiveness. Staubach's was much better than Bradshaw. Roger led the league in passing 4 times. By every metric Staubach was better. Staubach had 3 defensive hall of famers alongside him Lilly, Renfro, and Randy White. And they never played together. Bradshaw?????? That's why you can't say rings is the ultimate arbiter of greatness as a QB. Is Eli Manning a better player than Dan Marino cause he has 2 and Marino has none? A ridiculous statement. That philosophy is dumb.

i love bradshaw but im okayee with staubach over bradshaw// bradshaws team was stacked, particularly the first two super years the defense was dominating like 85 bears-- now staubach lost head to head and i get that but use the eyeball test--- emmit had better numbers than barry sanders,,,,, who are yo picking as yr RB for one season, you are picking barry because emmitts team was stacked, and yr simple eyeball test tells u barry was about as elusive as they ever made a human being

@@3stacksofHighSociety that exact argument of Eli over Marino was made by someone else in the comments somewhere. Aikman too.

@thesportingblog23 A great defense can win with an average or below average QB, the 2000 Ravens and 2002 Bucs, being exhibit A. How often has a great QB won with a bad defense? Montana won his first 3 playoff games, all while his defense gave up more than 17 points. After that first title, Montana never won a playoff game for the Niners when his team gave up 17 points. Not once. The 91 Eagles, are the forgotten all time great defense. They didn't win the Super Bowl, they didn't even make the playoffs. Cunningham was hurt in the opening game, and while they had the corpses of Jim McMahon and Jeff Kemp at QB, they managed to win 10 games in the powerful NFC East. SEVEN teams in the NFC won at least 10 games that year. It was unfortunate that we didn't get to see that defense go to work against a playoff offensive team. Great QB's and great defenses sort of go hand in hand.

The producer has a whole list of you want the details.

Nice ☺️

MichaelSloane9955 You left out the most historically significant QB of all. Otto Graham created the modern T-formation QB position. He won 3 NFL titles in just 6 NFL seasons which is the same number Brady won in his 1st 6 years. However, Graham was also 11-1 & lost the title game by ONE point in 1953. He won 2 of the most significant games of all-time in his very 1st season in the NFL when he beat TWO NFL champions (Eagles very 1st game in Philly & Rams in the actual greatest game of all time for 1950 championship). He held the pro record for QB rushing TDs for 60 years & still holds the all-time record for pass Y/A at an incredible 9.0.

Not sure we'll be here in 15 years but if so I'll let you know 🤝

That's a fake list since it's not 15 years down line so you can remove it
