What teams have a better qb history than the colts?

[Trace Pyott]

I was thinking and was wondering what nfl teams have a more robust quarterback history than the colts do. I mean literally have had what some would say two of the top 3 qb of all time with Unitas and manning. Then you add in the super bright future luck could and will probably have and I would say that's pretty darn good. Then you could even add Bert jones and harbaugh to the list as well. One team that would give us a run would have to be San Fran with Montana and young or ( it makes me sick to say) Denver with elway and manning and the so so jay cutler. Those are prob the best off the top of my head but I would still give the edge to the colts especially if Andrew luck meets expectations. What do you guys think?

Don't forget Hall of Famer Arnie Herber. 

 

The Redskins were pretty good also with Baugh, Jurgenson, Kilmer, and Theismann

49ers- Y A Tittle, John Brodie, Jim Plunkett, Joe Montana and Steve Young.

Jim Plunkett was terrible with the 9ers.

[Dustin]

Texans.

[Gavin]

Packers

[crazycolt1]

Jim Plunkett was terrible with the 9ers.

Plunkett was a Heisman winner, rookie of the year in 1971, comeback player of the year in 1980, 2 time super bowl winner with 1 super bowl MVP. When he played for the 49ers the team was bad, not him. Why you even cut him down is beyond me?

Because he was terrible until he got to the raiders. Even then he wasn't that good.

[21isSuperman]

Packers, as already mentioned

49ers, as already mentioned

Cowboys have a decent history with Staubach, Aikman, and Romo

Interesting note: all of those teams have had dynasties

 

I wouldn't say any of those teams have a better history than ours, but they have a really good history of QBs

[crazycolt1]

Really? So a 2 time super bowl winner with a super bowl MVP wasn't that good? You have your opinion but it is not shared by all that's for sure.

[Ja'Crispy]

Off the top of my head: Packers and Cowboys.

Broncos and 49ers have each had a couple great QBs

But I still say Colts have the best!

[CR91]

Packers with Bart Starr, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.

 

what about the magic man don majistic or something like that

I can't seem to find his bust in the hall of fame. perhaps you can find me a picture of it

If you're talking quality, we're close to the top.

 

If you're talking QUANTITY, nobody comes close to the Browns...

oh man and to think cal ap joe thomas and patrick willis were in that draft

[kansascolt]

Obviously Cleveland.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Obviously Cleveland.

 

Besides Otto Graham (every ESPN old clips shows him), I can only think of these. So they must have been at least OK, maybe great for some-

 

Mike Phipps (ok ???), Brian Sipe (OK ???) Bernie Kosar (I thought he was good) Vinny Testaverde (I thought he was good). Hopefuls- Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel

 

 

So... Who am I forgetting?

[Fx Stryker]

We have the two of the best three quarterbacks in history. I also believe the Colts have the most MVPs eon by a team in history.

Peyton Manning - 4

Johnny Unitas - 3

Bert Jones - 1

Earl Morrell - 1

Count that, that's 9 MVPs by franchise quarterbacks. No other team boasts that. That's more MVPs than 18 teams combined.

I'm sure his stats aren't great compared to today, but he was pretty good for the Raiders.

[jvan1973]

He was average even compared to those he played against

As a guy who watched a lot of raiders games back then, he certainly was not.....but that's just my opinion.

[crazycolt1]

I can't seem to find his bust in the hall of fame. perhaps you can find me a picture of it

So just because he is not in the HOF he was not a good player in your opinion? Pretty narrow minded I think.

[crazycolt1]

He threw 22 TDs and 30 INTs for the 49ers. 

If you would have bothered to read the original comment it was when Plunkett was with the Raiders that my comment was about.

How can the 49ers claim his (debateable) good year? 

 

Can we claim Kerry Collin's good years? He went to a Super Bowl.

The thread said teams that have had good QBs in their history. Why you want to argue about it?

Because including Plunkett on the 49ers list is silly and you know it.

[sreylas937]

what about New orleans.... Archie Manning, Drew Brees

I watched a LOT of football back then and Plunkett was meh at best. He was serviceable later when he had a few good years, but through most of his early career, he was a guy that needed to be replaced. I watched the games!

If you would have read my comment I said he was good when he played for the Raiders. He was on some pretty lame teams early on. The Pats and 49ers were not good teams at all when he played for either. If you choose to overlook his comeback player of the year and then on to two super bowls that's your choice.

Ergo why I said he had a few good years, but during those few good years, despite the team success he was NEVER one of the elite QBs. He was serviceable. Not the first serviceable QB to win SBs and or rise up in the big game.
