Thursday Thirteen II

In this second TT13 I got the idea from a couple of coworkers of mine who were discussing their favorite NFL quarterbacks they have seen play. My list is not based on what kind of men they were or are or even how good of quarterbacks they might have been but just who I have enjoyed watching play the most.

1. John Elway - Broncos - just the way he would pull out come from behind wins and seemed to always have that smile on his face reminding us all it was truly a game.

2. Jim Kelly - Buffalo Bills - yes the qb of my favorite team during their hayday but such a competitor and threw a great long ball.

3. Joe Montana - San Francisco 49ers - the best surgical quarterback ever, the precision in which he would execute that offense was almost artistic.

4. Dan Mario - Miami Dolphins - threw it all the time even when defenses knew he had to and such a quick release.

5. Brett Favre - Green Bay Packers - yes you just gotta love the gunslinger mentality and had that just awesome Monday Night game versus the Raiders.

6. Randall Cunningham - Philadelphia Eagles - the first real scrambling qb in the league, makes the list alone on that move against the Giants.

7. Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts - the closest thing to Montana since Montana in my opinion.

8. Donovan McNabb - Philadelphia Eagles - makes the list almost just with the smile and how it reminds you how this really is a game.

9. Steve Young - San Francisco 49ers - ran that true West Coast offense but threw in those runs as well, seemed to just be so grateful to have is shot after all those years as a backup.

10. Tom Brady - New England Patriots - just simply seems like your average guy or the soft spoken western hero.

11. Dave Krieg - Seattle Seahawks - strangest qb on my list I know especially with all those fumbles but he just seemed to have to out work and hustle everyone, I admired that.

12. Joe Theismann - Washington Redskins - hard not to like his moxie even though I was never a fan of his team.

13. Jake Delhomme - Carolina Panthers - enjoy is his fire and like how he has made the most out of his opportunity and seems like you could just walk up and talk to him.


So there is my list which I am sure any sports fan will have some agreement and some beef with. Feel free to let me know about either and share with us who was your favorite QB to watch ever.
