Oh, one more thing. He was named an All-Pro an impressive 10 times and was invited to the Pro Bowl in all but three of his seasons (14). However, his final throw of the game and his career was a two-point conversion late in the game. Aside from having a mental block against Baltimore, Collins has been in the league for a long time, and you can do a lot worse than this guy under center. McMahon spent the most significant years of his career with the Bears, but he also played for San Diego, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Arizona and Green Bay before he hung up his cleats. I keep assuming that this guy is going to retire. He retired in 1994 after spending his final two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. That role was reserved for the fearsome Giants defense, led by Lawrence Taylor. I know that this guy shed the label of not winning the big one. Having played most famously for the New England Patriots, Brady also played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his final two seasons, according to ESPN. Tommy Garrett is a writer for Pro Football Network covering the NFL and fantasy football. Here's what we know as to whether Brady will retire after this season.

Still, it's hard to argue with the results. Stabler scored what appeared to be the winning touchdown with just over a minute left in the game, but his heroics were foiled by Franco Harris and the so called "Immaculate Reception," which kick-started a rivalry between the Steelers and Raiders that was at its strongest in the 1970s. Even so, his immense talent led teams to repeatedly take chances on him, which allowed him to put up big numbers. In 2016, Jackson was arrested in Florida for allegedly pulling a gun on his wife while his children were believed to be in the next room. I'd bet that some guys on this list would trade their higher standing just to have one. It is also difficult to argue that Drew Brees wasn't the best QB in the leaguelast year. The fastest quarterback to reach the 60,000- and 70,000-yard milestones, he's fourth all-time in career regular-season wins (172). Careers for NFL players are notoriously short, so playing past age 30 is an accomplishment. His seven Super Bowl rings are not only the most by any player but also more than any franchise. Leftwich, commonly remembered for his collegiate game in which he played with a broken leg, showed promise in the NFL but could never put it all together. He played for the Jets, Cowboys, Patriots, and Panthers after his time in Baltimore. Even though he played for a long time, he retired too early to qualify. He eventually ended his 8-year career in 2011. Those people who were fortunate enough to make it down to "Lombardi Gras," as it was known, witnessed a celebration unlike any other. He was a perfect 2-0 in Super Bowl appearances, winning MVP honors in both games. He also holds several distinguished NFL records, and was a six-time Pro Bowler. The knock on Manning has always been that he doesn't usually play his best when the chips are down. The NFL later adopted a rule change to assist the defense making substitutions in these situations. Esiason declined to play in the Pro Bowl that year following the loss, despite winning the league MVP award. To be fair, Marino's only appearance in the Super Bowl came against Joe Montana's 49ers, and the 49ers probably had a better supporting cast around Montana. He doesn't belong in the top 20 just yet, but if he wins another championship and keeps putting up numbers like these, it will be hard to rate guys like Dan Fouts ahead of him when all is said and done. 26.1 career yards/game rushing average, 4th all time for QB. Keep in mind that the only active players who rank highly on the countdown have enjoyed long and accomplished careers. 1 draft choice from Louisiana Tech made several clutch throws in the postseason when the Steelers needed them. It wasn't in the Super Bowl, but "The Catch" is as good a moment as any to beat the Dallas Cowboys at the height of their power. To be fair, Testaverde does hold the record for most losses as a starting quarterback (123), but frankly, anyone who can suit up and play decent football after 21 seasons in the NFL as Testaverde did with the Panthers impresses me. Baugh also ranks as a top-20 punter in NFL history with a career average of 45.1 yards per punt. He is commonly seen on the pre and post game coverages of Pac-12 games. He completed 18 of 29 passes for 336 yards with one touchdown and one interception and also scored a 3-yard rushing touchdown. Unfortunately for Quinn, his male model good looks couldn't save him from the QB dumpster fire that is the Cleveland Browns. Andrew Luck, star quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, shocked the world Saturday night when he announced his retirement from football--at the age of 29. The other "forgotten" Cowboys quarterback is Danny White, the guy who had the misfortune of playing between the tenures of two-time champion Roger Staubach and three-time champion Troy Aikman. Doug Flutie, one of the greatest college quarterbacks in history traveled a winding path on his way to becoming one of the oldest NFL quarterbacks of all time. Hoyer ended up appearing in six games with five starts that season, throwing for 1,445 yards with six. hence, a higher spot than some suggest that his statistics deserve. Years after he finished playing in Baltimore, the late Johnny Unitas is still remembered and idolized for what he did on the football field. Clausen ultimately lost his first flag football game, but he was playing against Michael Vick (seriously, who could ever beat Vick in flag football?). Leftwich must have proven his worth as he was hired as the Cardinals quarterbacks coach for the 2017 season. "The Immobile One" was the No. I digress). In 2016, Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians decided to give Leftwich a shot as an intern for the team (Arians was a former coach of Leftwich during their time in Pittsburgh). It's hard not to make the list when you're throwing to a guy as talented as Lance Alworth the first AFL player to make the Hall of Fame, and to his credit, Hadl led the AFL in passing in both 1965 and 1968. In any case, Williams turned in a strong performance in that game, though he was aided by the ultimate one shot wonder, Redskins RB Timmy Smith, who had a monster game in the Redskins' 42-10 rout of the Denver Broncos, another blowout loss for John Elway, who at this point had yet to win a Super Bowl title. Kosar finished his career in Miami as the backup to Dan Marino. The foundation helps provide resources to wounded veterans. However, the fact that a guy hasn't won a Super Bowl doesn't mean he wasn't one of the best to ever play the position. He is on pace to break most major passing records, though it remains to be seen exactly how far out some of Brett Favre's records will be after this season, and he was the fastest player to reach 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 completions in his career. He only made one Pro Bowl, but playing with the Bungles it's hard to make a lot of those A former No. However, Young also changed while he was playing the game. Favre built a legacy in Green Bay, leading the Packers to back-to-back Super Bowls (XXXI and XXXII) and a world championship in 1996 (XXXI). He had stints with the New York Jets from 1993-5 and Arizona Cardinals from 1996 between his Cincinnati tenures. Randy Moss, in his first stint with the Vikings at that time, said following the 2000 season that Culpepper was one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks he'd ever played with. In fairness, the guy backed up Joe Montana, John Elway, Steve Young and a few others appearing in the top category. Norm Van Brocklin played the first nine years of his twelve year career with the Los Angeles Rams and then finished his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. But in a bizarre turn of events, Rivers was immediately traded to the Chargers for No. Baugh played three ways, offense, defense, and punter, leading the Washington Redskins to two NFL titles (1937 and 1942). The late George Blanda is next on the list, and he earns such a high spot because of his longevity at the professional level. In so far as there were "blockbuster" trades in 1964, the trade that brought him to Philadelphia in exchange for Sonny Jurgenson probably qualifies. According to Pro Football Reference, he spent most of his career with the Buffalo Bills, where he had five winning seasons in 12 years. Meanwhile, Dawson started lighting it up with the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs in the 1960s and was named to the second team of the All-Time AFL Team at the league's dissolution and merger into the NFL after Super Bowl IV, which Dawson's Chiefs won over the heavily favored Minnesota Vikings; Dawson got redemption in this game after losing Super Bowl I to Vince Lombardi's Packers. Of course, Warner got the last laugh when he returned to the SuperBowl in 2008 as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. Aikman was named to six Pro Bowls and received the distinguished Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 1996. Dallas always seemed to be behind late in the game and Staubach always seemed to come through to win at the last possible moment. If there was ever a guy who is forgotten in NFL history, it's this guy. 1. This is because Kevin Kolb absolutely robbed the Arizona Cardinals when they traded for him and gave him a massive contract in hopes that he would be their next franchise quarterback. Interestingly, Theismann played his first three professional seasons with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts after failing to agree on contract terms with the Miami Dolphins, who had drafted him in the fourth round out of Notre Dame. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977. I had to do some digging to find out who Steve Bartkowski was, but I was impressed by what I saw.

Either way, in five years, Aaron Rodgers will be 42 years old and well past the typical retirement age for quarterbacks. Bradshaw was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Over the past seven years, he has finished with one of the top-two overall grades on three occasions, and has been a top-10 quarterback in eight of the 10 seasons. 12 jersey has been retired by the 49ers, and yet he's probably only remembered as the third-greatest quarterback in franchise history. Leinart was also recently selected into the 2017 College Football Hall-of-Fame. Not bad. Sounds contradictory, but all of the guys ahead of him have something that he doesn't. Bobby Layne was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1948, but was behind both Sid Luckman and Johnny Lujack on the depth chart, so he refused to return to the team in 1949. In total, Moon would receive nine invitations to the Pro Bowl. Elway was arguably even more clutch than "Captain Comeback," leading 47 game winning drives in the 4th quarter or overtime. Not necessarily. Brooks played most of his career with the New Orleans Saintshe held most franchise passing records at the time of his retirement, though he also played for the Oakland Raiders. The winningest quarterback in franchise history, Roethlisberger owns virtually every Pittsburgh passing record imaginable. Lamonica was a winner, and it's hard to penalize him for not winning a Super Bowl against a stacked team like Vince Lombardi's Packers in Super Bowl II. Kilmer was selected 11th overall in the NFL draft (39th overall in the AFL draft) out of UCLA. Brady's greatest legacy is still the three Super Bowl wins in the early 2000s. Brady's status as a clutch player wasn't undermined, but his legacy was, and instead of No. In 2000 he helped the Dolphins beat Peyton Manning's Colts 17-14, allowing the Dolphins to beat out Indianapolis for the AFC East division title. The NC State product was selected fourth overall by the Giants in the famed 2004 QB draft class that also included Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning. Follow him on Twitter @Rob_UTVOLS. Luckman's bio is pretty hilarious; despite the fact that he was given the chance to play professional football, he originally planned to decline the opportunity and work at a relative's TRUCKING COMPANY. He guided the Kansas City Chiefs to an appearance in the very first Super Bowl in 1967 and helped the team win its first NFL title in 1970. You can readmore of his work hereand follow him at@TommygarrettPFNon Twitter. The Kurt Warner story is one of those "feel good" moments when a guy who isn't supposed to be that good turns out to be even better than the starter. Tom Brady's retirement last offseason lasted all of 40 days, but the assumption entering 2022 seemed to be that this would be his final season. Elway's long and distinguished career is undeniably deserving of a top five spot; however, some would rank him even higher than where he is here. He was the most prolific passer of his era, which is all the more impressive when you consider that he played in an option-based offense and never played the quarterback position until he reached the professional level. Before his nuclear six-interception meltdown against the Cardinals in the playoffs two years ago, Jake Delhomme was John Fox's quarterback. While he never made it the Super Bowl, he did win five Grey Cups (CFL championships) in his six seasons in the CFL. Tittle has everything he could possibly want on his resume as far as numbers, but his legacy is hurt somewhat by the lack of an NFL championship, despite the fact that the Giants appeared in three straight NFL title games from 1961-3 with Tittle at quarterback. Unitas was a four-time NFL MVP and named to 10 Pro Bowls during a legendary career that spanned 18 seasons. The former 12th round pick out of Kentucky retired for the first time following the 1958 season when Bears owner George Halas demanded that he only be used as a kicker; however, with the formation of the AFL in 1960, Blanda began playing for the Houston Oilers as both a QB and a K, and he had his best years in Houston before finishing his career with the Oakland Raiders as a kicker and a backup to Daryle Lamonica. Recently, Campbell returned to his alma mater as one of the radio announcers for Auburn University football. Staubach led 23 game-winning drives in his career, including the famous "Hail Mary" pass in the 1975 game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was a solid but unspectacular player. Esiason had a somewhat unique style compared to most other quarterbacks, stemming primarily from the fact that he was left-handed; he is one of the most successful southpaw quarterbacks of all time. He owns several Super Bowl records including a perfect 4-0 record (shared with Terry Bradshaw), the highest collective all-time QB rating in the Super Bowl (127.8), and the most passes thrown without an interception (122 in four games). Moon never won an NFL championship- five Grey Cups in the CFL will have to do- but his numbers alone warrant such a high place on the list. If this is the end for Tom Brady, hes a shoo-in for the history books and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2027. He also played a significant role in leading Americas Team to three Super Bowls (XXVII, XXVIII and XXX), winning all three. 4 NFL MVPs (2003, 2004, 2008, 2009) * = league record for most MVPs in modern era. I have ranked the top 100 quarterbacks in NFL history, and because I'm writing the article, I get the privilege of unilaterally deciding who was better than who. Esiason played nine seasons of his career with the Bengals, from 1984-92 and then a final season in 1997. A major statistic that I look at for modern quarterbacks is interceptions, and Rodgers simply doesn't throw very many of them. In a time when the forward pass was still an afterthought for most NFL quarterbacks, Baugh was more than happy to go to the air, leading the NFL in passing six times. Nothing. He was part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2017. But it's just too early- try me again in five years. Longevity alone doesn't do it for me. Going purely by numbers, Randall Cunningham probably shouldn't be this high on the list. Jones's best season was 1976, when he won the NFL MVP award and had a passer rating of over 100, one of only three players to have a season with a QB rating of at least 100 during the 1970s (along with Ken Stabler and Roger Staubach). Stabler's first major appearance in the public spotlight was in relief of an injured Daryle Lamonica in the 1972 playoff game between the Raiders and the Steelers. His inconsistent career that was marked by flashes of absolute brilliance attest to this view. He did win a Super Bowl ring, but it came while he was backing up Staubach in Super Bowl XII. They are listed in order of the date of each player's first start at quarterback for the Bears. He became involved in fantasy football and would provide player testimony to fantasy users to help them understand how different offensive systems/coaches can affect a players fantasy value. If you put up Anderson's numbers against many QBs who are in the Hall, Anderson compares favorably. Fouts was surrounded by players like Kellen Winslow, Charlie Joiner, John Jefferson, and Wes Chandler, so there was no shortage of targets. Usually when somebody opens his mouth it bites him in the behind, but judging from this photograph, Namath seemed pretty happy with the result- and the Jets' win over the Colts in Super Bowl III is one of the biggest upsets in sports history. Huard played great in Marino's absence in his final season, going 4-1 as a starter. First player to throw for and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season (2006), 47.6 career rushing yards/game average, first all-time for QB. Still, the '99 season was so outstanding that it earned him a spot on the list. To an extent, the murmurs about that were quieted when Manning won his first and to date his only Super Bowl against the Bears in 2006, but the murmurs got a lot louder when Manning threw a game-sealing interception to Saints CB Tracy Porter in last season's Super Bowl. Whether that's true or not, his comments don't give the impression that a decision will be announced right after the end of the season. As "pilot" of the famous "Air Coryell" offense, Dan Fouts was the quarterback for the San Diego Chargers in the 1970s and 1980s. Rodgers' NFL career got off to a late start after playing a backup role to Brett Favre in his first three seasons in Green Bay. The bottom line is that he is a winner, and the reason why he is a winner is that, when the chips are down, he's going to make it all go. List of retired professional football players | American Football Wiki | Fandom in: Pages with reference errors, Former players, 1994, 2000 NCAA Division 1-A List of retired professional football players View source This is a list of individuals who formerly played professional American football in the NFL, AFL, AAFC and other major leagues. Since his playing days ended, Quinn has stayed relevant in the sport by becoming a sports analyst for Fox Sports, and he's actually pretty good at it. Then Cardinals Head Coach Dennis Green even called Leinart's draft day fall a "gift from heaven." Esiason's 1988 season was probably his best; he led the Bengals to the franchise's second Super Bowl birth. Fouts's first few years in the league were relatively anonymous, but when Don Coryell arrived in 1978 he turned San Diego into the "Superchargers." As a result, hes the first quarterback to lead two franchises to a Super Bowl victory. At least he's not doing those cheesy Muscle Milk commercials anymore. He was never especially remarkable and was eventually replaced by Michael Vickwho the Falcons drafted No. The fact that his career has gone continually downhill since the early 2000s has made some people forget the few seasons where Culpepper was among the best passers in the NFL. In a nutshell, Favre has been everything you'd expect a great quarterback to be but nothing more. He never fully regained form after that historically bad performance. And his team is 3-5.). Eli Manning somehow escaped a sack before heaving the ball deep down the field for David Tyree, who made the famous "helmet catch," and we all know what happened next. Neil O'Donnell's major claim to fame, statistically, is that he retired with the lowest interception rate of any quarterback in NFL history, though he has now relinquished that title. I was really tempted to have that quote be the only text on the slide, but I decided against it. According to the NFL, Blanda first played a professional football game in 1949 and didnt retire until 1975 as the leagues leading scorer. From that logic, I figure I'm within my rights to bump the league's most polarizing player into the top 80. That might or might not be a fair assessment; however, the fact remains that Aikman didn't produce at such a high level in terms of his individual statistics as did other players of his era.
