I would rank both of them somewhere between 6 and 10. And actually, I would probably agree with you that ElFraud was better than fivehead. I always laugh at people who say Manning was the greatest ever. He wasn't even the greatest to play for either team he was on. He came in second to Unitas on the Colts and 2nd to ElFraud on the Donks.

Sure I was having some fun last night but you discount Manning almost as much as I over hype John.

Just look at the seasons the Pats and Colts had when Manning and Brady were hurt. Colts won what 2 games? Pats won 11 with Matt Cassell. Guys like Brady and Montana are system QBs, they are very good but still outside of that system not as great and he can be replaced, they didn't miss a beat last year with Grapplo. I don't think Brady makes a team better the way John did taking 3 teams to the SB who really shouldn't have been there. Colts took Luck to replace Manning yet he hasn't done anything that says he is going to be better. Belly builds the Pats so he can win with anyone on the roster.

Manning had the single best season by a QB in the history of the NFL, It is hard to rank guys in order but I would be happy if you considered John and Manning in the top 10 range. Manning is also the only QB to win a SB with 2 different teams. Farve, Warner, and Morton showed how hard that is to do.

I totally agree about Bart Starr. Dude is totally underrated, I have a bunch of his games on DVD and he was the key piece that made that team what it was even with Jim Taylor and the talent on the OL. Starr should be a top 4 or higher QB on any list.

Getting back on Topic, I don't think Lombardi could have kept that team together if he was dealing with the Cap and FA.

Over all I miss the days where you could keep a team together for 6-8 years like Pitt and Dallas used to be able to do but it does make it more fun to see new teams rise up and contend.
