I voted for Elway.

But it was hard to not pick Fouts, based on his Fiesta Bowl commentary. :tongue2:

LoKy will think that Bart Starr should be on the list.

I think that is a really good list (my test was going to be if you had Tarkenton on there or not).

I'm old school and went with Johnny Unitas. Considering the era in which he played, I can't imagine what his numbers would look like today in the pass-happy NFL.

Sammy Baugh gets my nod for best all-around player of all-time. I believe he lead the league in passing, defensive interceptions, and punt returns in one year.

Don't forget Sammy's punting. He held the best career net punting average for decades. And the punt is the most important play in football. :biggrin:

I agree that it's a good list. I think Otto Graham is the one name I would have added. 10 years, 10 championship games, 7 titles. Although most of the titles were not in the NFL.

You're right about Sammy's punting, that was what he led the league in, not punt returns....my bad.

Good call on Graham, even though four of those years and titles were in the AAFL.

I will not reveal my vote... all though I will say that it's a shame that Don Majkowski was left off the list.

I was going to add Majkowski and Lynn Dickey behind my Bart Starr comment!

It's OK LoKy, I'll reveal your shocking vote:

This poll inevitably has to be biased...
I'm probably older than 90% of the BP
and even I struggle with how to rate a
Sammy Baugh.. or even Tarkenton and Unitas...

so dunno how these young pups
can do any rating... even for guys like
Bradshaw, Fouts and Elway or Marino...
