"The quality of a great quarterback is being able to deliver when you have to," says Bart Starr in this rich and rewarding documentary about professional football's field generals. Starr, a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Green Bay Packers during the Lombardi years, ought to know, of course. The legend ranks high on 50 Greatest Quarterbacks's list of most accomplished QBs, guys who know how to get the job done when the stakes are high and the pressure is unbearable. Starr's in great company. The listings here include not only such obvious giants as Joe Montana, Joe Namath, and Johnny Unitas, but illuminate the overlooked careers of Frank Ryan of the Browns, John Brodie of the 49ers, and Ken Stabler of the Raiders, among others. Still, the high points of this video are extended chapters on Namath, who legitimized the AFL for many skeptics, and Montana, whose confidence made greatness look all too easy. --Tom Keogh
Description
The quarterback is professional football's leading man. Every Sunday, he is at the center of the action. The hopes for victory ride on his shoulders. The spotlight is intense, the pressure is enormous. It is the most demanding position in all of the team sports and only a handful of athletes have what it takes to do it at the NFL level. Those who rise to the very top become legends.
In this video, NFL Films takes on the daunting challenge of selecting and ranking the 50 Greatest Quarterbacks of all time. The players were judged not just on their statistics, but their toughness and leadership-all the qualities that make up a great quarterback. How do you compare players from different eras? How do you compare Otto Graham, who won championships in the 1950s, to Brett Favre and John Elway today? If watch this video, you can decide for yourself. Running time: 50 minutes

 Very entertaining May 31, 2005

Very entertaining video. Who is #1? Who cares. That's not important. What is great is to watch highlights and get perspective on how terrific all 50 QBs were.
That said, I'd disagree with Mike and agree with Karl. In my opinion, if Bradshaw had played in the 80s instead of the 70s Bradshaw's numbers would have been more like Marino's because of the rule changes that opened up the passing game. Bradshaw was also better than Marino because he won the big games under his leadership and guidance not because he threw the ball on nearly every down like Marino. For that matter I think Bob Griese was a better Dolphin QB than Marino. 2 Super Bowl rings. 3 Super Bowls in a row. 1 perfect season. That's leadership! Consider how different the rules and game was during Bradshaw and Grieses era compared to Marino. The old AFL rules didn't get implemented adn open up the passing game until the late 70's. Outlawing certain defenses, no bumping the receiver after 5 yards, strict roughing the passer rules, everything designed to open up the passing game. He was by far a better leader than Marino. Sure the Steelers had more talent, not to mention that hall of fame coach Chuck Noll was equal to that of his former teammate and mentor Don Shula. Not every Steeler victory was a blowout. They had several close games where one play would have changed history and the Steelers teams of the 70s would not be held in such high regard as they are today.
 Great overview September 12, 2004

One of the Many things that I always enjoy so much about sports is Debates upon placements of Players.for Me if you are considered Great then you can be anywhere from 1-50 or 1-100. because when you are Considered Great that alone puts you into Elite company.I dig all the QB's Mentioned.glad Jim Kelly got madd Props though.
As usual, great stuff December 18, 2003

Any of the NFL Films Best Of videos are worthy additions to a football fan's collection. And they've only gotten better over the years. But, sorry Marino fans. While he can't bear blame for being without a Super Bowl win -- the 49ers team he lost to was one of the best ever with a great defense and the 'Fins often had a terrible D in succeeding years -- passing records aren't the sole measure of a quarterback. That's especially true when you're talking about QBs post-1978 rules changes that made it illegal for defenders to make contact with receivers down field. Imagine how big Unitas' numbers might've been if Herb Adderley couldn't knock Raymond Berry all over the place throughout the pattern. Personally, I'd rate Marino as the best passer and the best overall QB to be between Graham, Unitas, Montana, Elway and Favre.
I agree with Kim Carter December 10, 2003

Karl if check this site out, it will provide concrete evidence of what Kim Carter is saying: http://www.nfl.com/qbclub/marino.htmlDan Marino does deserve a high rating, I don't think he is #1 however, there are better quarterbacks than Dan Marino, such as Steve Young, the highest quarterback rating ever in history. But Dan Marino I believe is definitely in the top 10. And is also by far, one of my most favoriate quarterbacks to ever play the game!! This DVD rules! Get it sports fans!
great video shots but questionable ratings October 9, 2003

I loved the game footage on this DVD. However, I had a problem with some of the QB ratings. I wholeheartedly agree with Joe Montana being the undisputed number 1 quarterback. Where I disagree with the ratings is when they rank non-Superbowl winning QBs such as Dan Marino and Jim Kelly so high. I simply can't believe Dan Marino is ranked ahead of Terry Bradshaw! This is pure foolishness. Otherwise, a nice NFL films product.
