20 Greatest Quarterbacks of All Time


Quarterbacks are by far the most important position in all of sports! No other sport has a position as critical to a team’s success. We’ve seen it throughout history. A team that has a great quarterback is automatically in contention to win a Super Bowl. There’s a reason they are the hottest commodity in the game. They always have been, and they always will be.
Throughout the great history of the National Football League, there have been many great quarterbacks who have inked their names in the history books. More than any other position in the NFL, quarterbacks are judged by the number of championships. The same cannot be said for players in various other positions.



A great quarterback must have many strong qualities. It’s not enough to simply have a strong arm. They need to be accurate, have great anticipation, and be in sync with their receivers. In addition, a QB needs to have a thorough understanding of the game and defensive schemes, in order to put his offense in the best possible formation and play call.
Moreover, as the default leader of any team, it takes a special character with leadership skills to make his teammates follow his lead. He needs to have the ability to handle pressure, and be able to persevere through the many tumultuous paths of any quarterback at the NFL level.
