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.

 

For me?!


AR is top 10 but no higher than 9.

 

No

 

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.

 

People are comparing Qbs, and You are comparing Qb and HCs. LoL

 

Sorry dude. Steve Young only has one win as the starter.

 

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.

 

That's the thing that made young dangerous. Dude could run and take a lickin.

 

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?

Learn to read, go back, and read what I said, and see the difference. Unlike you I wasn't comparing coaches to QBs. I can’t understand why reading is so hard in a country where we are taught to read at so young of an age. Its like some of you don't actually read ,but skim, and then make up whatsoever you want from what was written.

 

Ah exactly. Someone that actually understands, and comprehend what they read.
Thank You

 

NO.9

 

If he wins a super bowl this year he will be #3 in Steelers top QB of all time
If he returns and wins back to back he moves to #2 Steelers QB
Which of course would move Mike McCarthy to #2 Best Steelers Coach

 

Brady
Bradshaw
Montana
Staubach
Mannings

 

Yes, that would be 4 MVPs and two Super Bowl wins.

 

Lists like that are very hard to make because they are subjective. What do you use for criteria to make the list? you can't use Super Bowls to justify one guy and then on the next guy talk about how his ability to scramble, completion rate or MVPs make him a candidate for the list. You also have to factor in the era they play in. How would Mahomes do if he played in the era of Montana? Back them, they tried to lay the QB out like a yard sale. Now, throwing a mean look from 10 yards away at Mahomes is going to get you hit with a roughing the passer penalty.

The only person that can't be argued against (IMO) is Brady. The guy has done it all. He is at the top of the boards or close to it in a lot of the categories that matter. He has more SB rings than any NFL team does. He has earned his spot at the top of the list.

Beyond Brady, everything becomes a list that shifts depending on who sticks out in your mind and what metrics you decide to give the most weight to. Montana, P Manning, Mahomes, AR, Roethlisberger, Elway, Bradshaw, Aikman, Staubach, Favre, Brees, Marino, Rivers, Stafford, Young, Tarkenton, and even Wilson. You could put any of those guys behind Brady on a top list depending on what stats you pick to focus on. And you always have to remember that the game played in 2026 is not the same game that was played in 1975.
