Dan Marino
Dan Marino was the prototypical passing QB in an era where the league didn’t really lean on the aerial game. Though people may have mocked Marino for his constant need of a weight loss program, he was untouchable while on the field. Marino is one of the most prolific passers of all time as he won the passing yards award in 5 different seasons. Marino landed 9 Pro Bowls and an MVP award while amassing 61,136 passing yards and 420 touchdowns. The one flaw in Marino’s otherwise storied career is his lack of an NFL championship.
Johnny Unitas
It’s so incredibly difficult to compare quarterbacks in different eras. So while you can make a case for Johnny Unitas landing in the top 5, he comes in just at #10 for us. Johnny Unitas, or ‘The Golden Arm’, is one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game. Unitas played for the Baltimore Colts from 1956 to 1972 and he spent a year in Pittsburgh and San Diego as well. While on the field there was nobody like Johnny U. He set the record for consecutive games with a TD pass and held it for 52 years, not losing it until Drew Brees stole it in 2012. Unitas isn’t just a great QB, he is one of the best to ever play the game.
