Can AR become a top 5 all time QB if he wins another super bowl?

    Tom Brady is the undisputed GOAT — 7 rings, unmatched longevity, and clutch performances that speak for themselves. No real debate there.

    The top 5 all-time is tougher and sparks endless arguments, but here's my rankings;

    #1. Tom Brady — The rings, the wins, the comebacks. Longevity + excellence = #1 by a mile.

    #2 Joe Montana — "Joe Cool." 4-0 in Super Bowls, perfect efficiency in the biggest moments, and the guy who set the standard for clutch QBs before Brady.

    #3 Peyton Manning — Revolutionary intellect, 5 MVPs, changed the game with audibles and preparation. Elite stats + success with two franchises.

    #4 Patrick Mahomes — Already here for many. 3 rings (and counting), insane improvisation, arm talent, and playoff dominance at a young age. He's climbing fast and could end up top 3 by the end of his career. I think he is done winning championships, but he has many more td's, yards thrown and game won to achieve.

    Which brings me to spot #5. A number of men can claim it.

    Roethlisberger, Elway, Bradshaw, Aikman, and Staubach all have more than one ring. But what if Rodgers wins another superbowl? I think that would nudge him into top 5 all time status.

    Aaron says this is his last season. But I am not quite sure it is. The man looks like a 35 year old quarterback. Don't ask me how.

    I totally struggle with understanding of people putting P. Manning at 3rd.
    I got people on one hand telling me the regular season doesn't count, and that the playoffs only do, and then they use regular season MVPs . Either the regular season counts , or they don't.
    Example: Tomlin has never had a losing season , people will say it doesn't mean anything, but if a guy wins a regular season MVP, and get beat in the playoffs 1st game somehow that's OK to brag about. ???
    Also Manning, and Ben are almost identical in the playoffs, so is Ben a top 5 Qb??

    Manning make 4 super bowl in his last 10 season,has a winning playoffs record and from 2003 until the rest of his career,his teams won 12 games every years outside of 2010.

    He has 12 12-wins seasons in his career vs 4 for Tomlin.Very poor and lazy comparaison

    I would put...
    Elway at #3
    Roethlisberger at #4
    Manning #5

    I am a sucker for Elways and Roethlisberger's ability to just a take a game completely over. 2-minute drill it didn't get any better than watching Elway or Roethlisberger drive down the fiel for the win.

    Sorry, I need to see some top 10 stats for Mahomes to get in the Top 5 of all time.

    Also, It is amazing that Drew Brees who is like in the top 5 of every career QB stat gets no love in these best of all time QB rankings.

    If it was just about SB wins, both Aikman and Steve Young have 3 wins. I'm not putting Rodgers ahead of either of those dudes.

    Yeah you're right. I'd still rather have Young in his prime over AR.

    Hmm. I actually think they are quite a lot alike. Im not sure which I would take. Probably Rodgers because he didn't actually run as much, but Im not sure.

    Why do you talk about Tomlin in post 2 in this case?

    That was an example of people (fans) saying this vs that about accomplishments. Why are some accomplishments cheered when a similar accomplishment gets jeered by fans.


    I don't understand why we feel the need to rank 'all-time'.
    During Rodgers time, we have had Brady, both Mannings, Brees, BigBen, and into the Mahomes era. Where do you place Rodgers with HIS peers?
    I think right now he's somewhere near the bottom of this list. If he adds a 2nd SB to his resume, with 4 MVPs, I would put him 3rd or 4th on this list.
    All-time? Who cares?
