NY Giants Rush: Ranking The Top NFL Quarterbacks
by Shane Sharkey
These are my top NFL Quarterbacks in order of who I like and who don’t. I will tell you right up front that I was a quarterback for 10 years through college and semi-pro, so I look for a few things. I don’t crown a “johnny come lately” like Dalton and I don’t reward a guy like Rivers for having ONLY a big arm. I also don’t live on Pro Football Focus, splitting hairs.
Beside being good between the lines, I look for a QB with leadership, toughness or durability, the “moxie” to make all the throws, even when everyone says you can’t.
Someone that breeds winning and a guy who stumbles over his hardware on the way to the kitchen while getting a beer.
My favorite quarterbacks of all time are: Dan Fouts, Brett Favre, Phil Simms and Warren Moon.
