I think intangibles also matter. Leadership. Motivation. Spirit. Getting 110% from your players. Those are things I expect from a great quarterback.
Let me ask you... do you think a great quarterback could play his career on losing teams?
I think you aren't quite following along...
As far as QBs go, I don't necessarily think Brady is top 5. But at this point, you could make a legitimate argument that he is. Dismissing him, to me, is unthinkable. If Manning was on the Pats, I wouldn't be surprised if he had 3 rings by now. But it also wouldn't shock me if they didn't have one. Like Farve, it's a crime that his team didn't win more than 1 considering the talent.
I honestly put Moon in the top 10. Considering he is near the top in most statistical categories despite wasting 6 years in the CFL. Marino's records might not stand if Moon was in the NFL those 6 years.
Yes, a great QB can be on a bad team. See Marino, Manning, and Manning.
