But it got us thinking: Which of today's QBs are actually destined for a gold jacket? Brady could've retired years ago and been fitted for one more on him below , but who else among current signal-callers stands above the pack? And not only that, but deserves a place among the game's all-time legends? Here are the QBs we foresee cracking the Hall of Fame once they've hung up the cleats, as well as some who've flashed early glimpses of Hall of Fame talent, some who should make the Hall with another good season or two, and some who are just a bit unworthy:.
What needs to be said other than seven rings? Even if you discount his Patriots dynasty because of New England's history of, shall we say, extra competitive advantages, you simply do not do what Brady has done -- well into his 40s, by the way -- without being a Hall of Fame QB.
This one's etched in stone. Rodgers literally has six fewer titles than Brady, but he's been every bit, if not more, star-caliber than his Hall of Fame Packers predecessor in Brett Favre. With plenty of football seemingly still in the tank at 37, A-Rod should have more jewelry but doesn't need it to prove his place as a generational field general.
Roethlisberger hasn't necessarily aged as gracefully as Brady and Rodgers though could tell a different story , and he's been far more prone to both injuries and turnovers. But the Steelers have done little else but win when he's under center; they've never posted a losing record during his career, and his wins rank fifth among all QBs in NFL history.
Like Rodgers, the Seahawks star should probably have more than one ring by now; multiple titles would confirm him as more of a legend than contemporary great. Is being a squeaky-clean Manning brother with two Super Bowl wins over New England while Roethlisberger had those nasty sexual misconduct allegations hanging over his career enough to hand Eli accolades that Big Ben never receives? Only time will tell.
While Ben and Eli picked up two each, Rivers has made it to only one conference championship game in his career, a loss in Foxboro in With a career mark in the playoffs, he would need to win a Super Bowl with his new Indianapolis Colts to be considered in the same conversation as his other two classmates. As it stands, he will have to settle for sixth in passing yards 61, , sixth in touchdown passes and 15th in QB rating Someone who is not quite old enough to be ready to retire, but old enough that they have been around the block a bit is Russell Wilson.
He has two Super Bowl appearances with one ring, and he ranks 41st in yards 33, , 28th in touchdown passes , and third in QB rating Considering the era he played in, his touchdowns to interceptions was remarkable. He went to Washington in and was their longtime starter. Eventually in he was replaced by a less talented, but more careful Billy Kilmer. Jurgensen had to ride the bench as Kilmer led the team to the playoffs 5 times, including their first Super Bowl in Through it all, Jurgensen mentored the young quarterback and never held a grudge.
Jurgensen remains one of only 3 Hall of Fame quarterbacks to have never been to a Super Bowl and the only one never to start a playoff game. Statistically he is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history with almost touchdowns and almost 50, yards. With those numbers you expect championship hardware with it. Considering how good his stats are, his playoff record is apalling.
He got his teams to the playoffs a total of 8 times, but never managed to get past the second round. One could say that Moon's numbers were heavily inflated by the run and shoot offenses he ran. They allowed him to carve up defenses, but without a good running game they could not grind out games against playoff opponents. This was never more evident than in the playoff collapse against the Bills, a game in which they blew a halftime lead.
Still one cannot deny that despite his teams failings in the postseason, he is still one of the best throwers of the football, and his delivery was one of the best of his time. Vinny Testaverde : If you take away his days in hopeless Tampa Bay, and his days as a wondering ancient back up, his win loss record evens out at.
He also nearly got the Jets to the Super Bowl in Steve Bartkowski : Very gifted quarterback who was one of the best players early in the Falcons history.
He closed his career with a Super Bowl victory, too. Few have commanded the position at this level. Ranking the 20 best free-agent starting pitchers, with potential landing spots. MLB 5m ago. Why Rams' signing of Odell Beckham Jr.
