Otto Graham

In Peter King's upcoming book, Monday Morning Quarterback, he writes, "If I'm building a team for a three- or five-year window, whom would I choose?" Here are the top 12 quarterbacks from his list and his skinny on each, beginning with Otto Graham. "He won seven league titles and seven passing titles in a legendary 10-year career."


Sammy Baugh

Incredible three-way player: In '43 he led the NFL in passing, punting and interceptions.


Joe Montana

Mr. Cool, Mr. Clutch, Mr. Accurate won three Super Bowl MVP awards.


Johnny Unitas

He piloted the Colts on late tying and winning drives in the greatest game ever: the '58 title tilt.


Brett Favre

Imagine playing 291 straight games at quarterback. That's the record he's most proud of.


Peyton Manning

Entering '09 he was 131 TD passes behind Favre. Isn't breaking every QB record inevitable?


John Elway

Always 1, 1a with Marino. Elway gets the edge, two championships to none.


Dan Marino

No one threw it more beautifully, ever. He was the first man to reach 400 TD passes.


Roger Staubach

Bill Belichick's boyhood idol, a Navy man, didn't take his first NFL snap till age 27.


Tom Brady

Tough call after starting for just seven years, but three rings in those first four seasons clinches it.


Bart Starr

A pedestrian guy till Lombardi arrived, then boom: five NFL titles in a seven--year span.


Terry Bradshaw

Four rings later, I have one question: How dumb is he now, Hollywood?
