    Honestly, the 2010's, because all of the 2000's qb's were active during that time period.

    The 70’s and 80’s were the best decades for qb’s and its not close.

    HOFers

    Bradshaw
    Staubach
    Tarkenton
    Stabler
    Griese

    then you have

    Archie Manning 2 time pro bowler and NFC offensive player of the year
    Bert Jones 1975 Offensive MVP
    Ken Anderson 4 time pro bowler
    Steve Bartkowski ROY
    Jim Hart 4 time pro bowler

    80’s

    Montana, Marino, Kelly, Fouts, Plunkett, Theismann, Moon, Elway, Kosar, Cunningham, Steve Young.

    we were loaded with very good to great Qb’s during these two decades

    Out of those choices I will go with the 1990s.

    KP would have been a good fit for a 1920s offense.

    I don't think they needed too many TD passes.

    He still would've found a way to spin into backside pressure.

    1980’s

    Montana, Marino, Elway, Moon

    You can make an argument for any decade but I’d go with these guys. I was going to put Fouts in here but he started his career in ’73 so went with Moon.
