    This is where I would have to elevate Manning if I were making a list. Unitas came from the days where QBs called their own plays, and the only time the coach had a say was during TOs and halftime. Manning comes the closest any QB has come to having that control since the mid 70's.

    Marino is the toughest to place, only because of the lack of a Super Bowl ring.

    That's sad for him. Had he won it just once, everybody would have him in the top 3 of all time.

    He's behind a few others as well.

    Favre, Unitas, Marino.

    Manning is nowhere near the best QB of all-time.

    It has taken me years to come to this conclusion, but I would rank them:
    The Jordan-like Suspension period may come to a close soon.
    1. Montana
    2. Marino
    3. Elway
    4. Unitas
    5. Mauck
