I agree with you on Bradshaw as the PI rules were totally different and at the beginning of his career the pass blocking rules were different. But the other guys you notice that the changes in the game were already in place. The slight changes made since 2006 5 yard bump rule and hitting high and low are reflected in the total yards etc. But wins are wins, SB are SB.

I have been following football for over 40 years

1. Montana
2. Marino
3. Unitas
4. Brady
5. Manning
6. Elway
7. Staubach
8. Bradshaw
9. Tarkenton
10. Young/Fouts/Kelly etc
