The critiques of Warren Moon having “inflated stats” because he “played in the Run & Shoot offense” are ridiculous. Steve Young played in a pass-happy offense, Dan Marino played in a pass happy offense, Jim Kelly played in the K-Gun in Buffalo....and NONE of those QBs are critiqued for “not playing in a “normal” (whatever that means) pro style offense”. The bias against Moon is still as prevalent today as it was in 1978
Also- Moon played in an era long before offense-friendly rule changes became a thing (90s offenses did not have the favorable rules of 2004), not to mention he played a ton of games on Astroturf rather than fieldturf and roughing the passer penalties meant you REALLY had to rough the passer (and think of how hard those hits had to be on the artificla turf) In the 90s, 4000 yard passing seasons didn't grow on trees like they do today. When Moon threw 4000 yards back to back seasons, that wasn't as easy as it is today.
@@chrisuncleahmad And he did that at 34/35. We have an inflated sense of what older QB's can do now due to rule changes and schemes altered to favor such passing, but Warren Moon was playing at a high level when most former high caliber QB's were pretty much on the way out if not having warmed the bench already. He got into the league at 28, at a point when few teams would want to build around such a player let alone a bad team in the Oilers.
As times passes, more and more people have no idea that Drew Bledsoe was on his way to the Hall in 2001. He took that franchise from being a complete joke, to legitimacy. And it’s a shame he’s being forgotten.
@@TheToad075 bingo plus he lead the Patriots to their first super bowl but got hurt and Brady was put in won the game which sadly killed Drew's career in New England imagine if Drew wasn't hurt and Brady was never put in
@@kyleshiflet9952 There'd be less cheaters in New England for sure and Tom Brady would never have taken off because he'd have been dumped to a worse team - he can't raise awful players, he can work with great players
@@TheToad075 exactly no one talks about great Brady is also Brady never gave a shit about his teammates besides Gronk where as Drew was a natural born leader
Jabari Crews Ellis That's just not true, Randall Cunningham threw for 16,624 yards and 121 touchdowns in the 90s, while Jeff George threw for 26,045 yards and 147 touchdowns. Jeff George threw for 9421 yards and 26 more touchdowns, that's why he deserves to be higher on the list than Ramdall Cunningham.
@@FFassassin71 Russell wasn't intersted in football at all after getting money. George was what you call a QB-tease. He could play, but just didn't want to....
Steve Young is easily the best QB of the '90s. He led the league in completion percentage 5 times, passing TDs 4 times, passing TD percentage 3 times, yards per attempt and adjusted yards per attempt 5 times, interception percentage 2 times, passing yards per game 2 times, net yards per attempt 5 times, adjusted net yards per attempt 4 times, and passer rating 6 times. He also led the 49ers to 8 playoff wins, 4 NFC championship game appearances, and a Super Bowl win.
Yes, but Favre had Steve’s number (even though they are not on the field at the same time) - beating him in the playoffs three years in the row in the ‘95, ‘96 and ‘97 seasons (with two of these games at Candlestick Park). Steve did win one back in the 98 playoffs but by then neither of their teams were strong SB contenders.
He was the most consistent..from 1991-98....But never the best (outside of his MVP yrs)....91-93...Marino or Elway......95-98....Marino, Elway, and Favre were better IMAO.
@@howardcosell2022 I mean Aikmen was not the reason the cowboys bear the niners. It was his stacked ass team. Swap aikmen and Steve and they cowboys win 10 super bowls
How did Mark Brunell not make this list. He made The playoffs 4 straight years. In 1996 he Beat Kelly up in Buffalo, then the following week he beat Elway in Denver. In 1999 his team had the best record in football and he beat Marino 62-7 He should have made the list.
@@MultiEviscerator - After the 1992 AFC Championship loss he wasn’t really a contender anymore. He hit some mind boggling career numbers in the later half of the decade but he wasn’t much post 1992. EDIT: grammar
Steve Young took his team to 4 Conference championships and won a super bowl, setting a TD record in that game, too. He gets a bad rap for losing twice to the Cowboys; but to be honest, they were so good in 92-93 that they werent going to be denied by anyone. Troy Aikman, on the other hand, was an effective leader who absolutely hated losing. Leadership is one of those intangibles that win championships.
@@RisingRecluse people now say the same about Emmitt Smith, as an excuse to downplay his stats, but that O-line didn’t become “great” until Smith arrived. Irvin had been in the league four seasons, before finally breaking out in ‘91. Novacek wasn’t a great tight end, until he came to Dallas. Alvin Harper was a total bust, once he left the team. They all depended upon each other to be great. Aikman was a system QB who ran it to perfection, during those championship years; and that’s why his peers voted him to 6 Pro Bowls. During the regular season, the team could win without him; but in the playoffs, they needed him to lead the team, make the right decisions, be deadly accurate, and make the big throws, when it was time. His leadership was underrated, especially in todays NFL, where it’s all about stats.
@matsugo24 I will give some credit here. Aikmen spent his first two seasons on his back and came back from that. Emitts rookie season he ran 3.9 yards per carry and Cunningham got more yards than him. 1991 was a breakout year for the triplets and the season Erik Williams neutralized Hall of Fame defensive linemen. Credit goes to Smith for his durability. However, Aikmen does noes get in the hall of fame with an average offensive line.
@@RisingRecluse perhaps, but it’s crazy how three of those linemen (Newton, Gogan, and Tuinei) were veteran holdovers from the Landry regime, back when the o-line was considered terrible. It’s as though everyone blossomed together, around 1991, when the main pieces were finally in place. Williams was a big addition, for sure. I don’t think the triplets would be who they are, apart from each other, including the o-line.
@@RisingRecluse, that same offensive line gave up 11 sacks against the eagles. They were not great at pass blocking. In the run blocking game, Emmitt created way more opportunities than what he is given credit for. Other RBs tried to run behind that line and failed miserably. That O line was extremely overrated. Also keep in mind that Larry Allen didn't show up until 95.
People from the current era don't understand the literal decades of irrelevance the Packers underwent and why Farve doing what he did was so damn important for that city, a city that is for all culturally significant intents and purposes only about football. Kansas City and Green Bay suffered some serious droughts of football unimportance. I don't even want to say ineptitude, because we think of teams like that we think of Cleveland in the aughts, Cincy in the 90's, for example. They were a grey blur, teams noone noticed or cared about year-year. Farve brought life back to the organization, rejuvenated them.
Troy is my guy. If you base this list on winning and championships then you can’t deny Troy was the best. Troy had the perfect stats for a winning quarterback. If Troy was asked to throw the ball 50 times a game with his accuracy he would be off the charts.
@@TBevill1231 Joe Montana had waaayyy better statistics compared to Aikman and had 2 MVPs, along with having 5 all pros compared to Aikman’s zero. Staubach led the league in passer rating 4 times and also led the league in touchdown passes one season. Both players were ranked #1 in their decade’s rankings in large part because of Superbowls but also because they had good enough stats while Aikman does not
I still believe Bledsoe could’ve taken the 2001 Patriots to the Super Bowl just like Brady did. Bledsoe came off the bench & lit up the Steelers in the AFC Championship game that year. Without Bledsoe they might’ve lost that game. 😀
Cunningham was incredible & I don’t see his position on the list as reflective of who was better. Cunningham’s first peak was over by 1991 & then peaked again in 1998. This list is more about what QBs did in the decade of the 1990s so George kind of got his spot by default because he played every year from 1990 to 1999 with great arm talent but no real success while Cunningham had injuries & even retired once. But Cunningham’s career was far superior to George’s.
I went to college with Jeff George and it has nothing to do on it's face with his QB abilities, but what an asshole. It goes to explain why he could not get along with any coach ever in the NFL.
Rich Farfugnuven Wow. I’ve heard that before & apparently he admits it as well. There was something about how that attention went to ppl’s heads back then. Notice that most of today’s QBs are pretty serious about their religion. I guess that’s a trait they look for to keep them grounded.
If these critics think warren moon had 'inflated stats,' remember offenses did not have 90s advantages like today: Moon played in an era long before offense-friendly rule changes became a thing (90s offenses did not have the favorable rules of 2004), not to mention he played a ton of games on Astroturf rather than fieldturf and roughing the passer penalties meant you REALLY had to rough the passer (and think of how hard those hits had to be on the artificial turf)
It should also be mentioned that roughing the passer was not a yardage penalty for a long time, and the ball was instead spotted wherever the pass landed
I always thought Jeff Goerge was good, of course he was never the type to take Orders from his Coaches. But his gunslingin arm new where to throw the ball
@@cyrillesu Yeah, I don't think George was as creative as Favre, or as lighthearted (seriously, that might count for something: even when Favre played wild, I don't think Packers coaches could stay mad at him, while George seemed wound a little tight and was easy to anger).
Why is no one in a uproar over Steve Young at #4?? Him along with Aaron Rodgers are two of the most versatile quarterbacks in NFL history. He's not getting enough credit for his otherworldly passer ratings in an era where QB ratings peaked around 90-95. 4 straight 100+ passer rating seasons from '91-94. That's unheard of during the 90's. In today's NFL, only Drew Brees & Aaron Rodgers can come close to that.
These Top 4 QB Win/Loss in the 90s: Troy Aikman 90-53 John Elway 84-49 Brett Favre 82-43 Steve Young 84-31 These Top 4 QB TD-Int-Yds in the 90s: Brett Favre 235-141-30,894 John Elway 180-112-30,280 Troy Aikman 149-109-29,561 Steve Young 200-80-27,656 These Top 4 QB Comp%-QB Rat in the 90s: Troy Aikman 62.2 - 84.5 John Elway 58.8 - 84.5 Brett Favre 61.1 - 87.1 Steve Young 66.3 - 101.2 So Young was #2 or #1 in ALL THESE VITAL CATEGORIES except yards; tied #2 in wins, fewest losses, fewest interceptions, 2nd most touchdowns, highest completion % and QB rating BY A COUNTRY MILE and yet somehow...he's #2? Oh, it must be because he only made it to (and won) 1 Super Bowl, Aikman won 3 and Elway won 2, and while Favre also only won 1 he was larger than life personality-wise, which obviously means more than the absurd numbers Young put up, right? That's just as a passer, and doesn't include his absurd running numbers! Young was the top QB of the 90s and I really don't see that it's close. His stats were purely better than Favre's, and the only argument Aikman and Elway can offer is more Superbowls, which is not a valid metric of QB greatness on its own
@@shanksmcnasty6650 Young was an exceptional runner. Where is their highlights of the 10 greatest running plays. He would have to be in there. He had times runs where there would be a pile of bodies all around him and he would break free and run 20+ yards downfield. This was in addition to having passing stats that were comparable to Montana.
I’m my opinion, Favre was the best QB of the 90s. 92-94, he had some good seasons and cemented himself as a franchise QB. But 95-98 is really what people remember him for. He was truly amazing in those years and 95 not only showed that the Packers were contenders, but was also Favre’s best season ever imo. He threw for the most yards ever in his career, had the best completion percentage of his career and did this with nothing. Green Bay had a great defense in those years but the offense is never really looked at. Look at the great QBs of the 90s. Elway had Davis and Sharpe and Smith. Aikman had Smith and Irvin. Young had Rice and Waters. Favre had nothing. He only had a 1000 yard rusher 3 times. In 95, his fullback Edgar Bennett barely ran for 1000 yards and only 3 TDs. And his WR was Robert Brooks, a guy who only had 2 1000 yards seasons in the 90s. Out of Favre’s 1990s stint, he only had a RB that made the Pro Bowl once and only 4 times did one of his WRs make a Pro Bowl (3 of those times were Sterling Sharpe who had a career ending injury before Favre’s Super Bowl runs). He had barely any offensive help and yet he won a Super Bowl and almost won another with mediocre players while winning 3 MVPs at the same time, that really shows how good he was at that time. He deserves to be #1.
Harry Engel I always look at 99 and you can see the decline the next few years. Mike Holmgren held Favre at that high level. He made Favre a 3 time MVP. I truly wonder what could have happened if Holmgren would have stayed. I look at the 01-03 team and I see Super Bowl potential (especially with Ahman Green. Best GB RB ever) and if Holmgren is there to keep Favre in check, I can’t guarantee there isn’t another SB trophy or two in Green Bay
Harry Engel the thing is, Freeman for a very brief period (97-98) was one of the best in the NFL. He had two very productive seasons including an All Pro in 98 but after that, he very quickly declined. He had another decent year or two but that was it. Levens is honestly a real bummer. He was one of the first instances of the “Madden Curse”. He really started to come into his own in 96 but broke out for over 1400 yards in 97. Honestly I feel the reason GB lost SB XXXII was because they didn’t use Levens enough. But by 98, he tore his knee and was never the same. That also really hurt the Packers in 98 cause they didn’t have a run game anymore and Favre had to force a lot of passes to make up for the lack of run game. For 2 years, he was a great RB. But 2 years isn’t enough. He then got replaced by Ahman Green (best GB running back ever) and won another NFC championship ring with the Eagles in 04. Favre for 96-98, had a decent cast that kept rotating out way to much. I mean you go from 93 having your WR be Sterling Sharpe and RB being Darrel Thompson and 2 years later they’re completely different. They also had Andre Rison for a year in 96. Don’t know why they didn’t keep him. Definitely would have helped in 97. But if Sharpe is healthy and Levens is healthy, I guarantee another SB.
I like Kurt Warner, he won the Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP, and 2 NFL MVP's and made the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 with the St. Louis Rams, but he only played for 4 months in the 1990s in the 1999-2000 NFL season, but Warner would be in the top 4 of greatest 2000s QB's of all time!
Even though he was SBXXXIV mvp and won 2 NFL MVPs and a SBXXXIV championship ring 💍 His career was shortened by injuries I don’t believe he was a top 5 QB in the 2000s He’s had one hell of a career at Quarterback in the NFL at his peak as a Ram 🐏
What, his Cardinals years don't count? And I can tell you've never been to the football hall of fame because unlike baseball you don't go in under 1 team or wear a cap with a team on it. All of your teams are listed under your bust. Not to mention he played more games as a Cardinal than he did as a Ram.

This is hands down my favorite decade of the NFL. I was born in early ‘98 so I treasure all the film from this amazing era. You could still hit people, running backs still got respect, and what an era of QBs. The only downside was my Bears hit a dark age lol. Thank you for uploading!
@Turbo Crystal Can't be that nice when he wished a Senator could be assassinated. Also, I don't particularly care for what he does, I was mostly joking but ok.
Drew Bledsoe Number one overall draft pick by the New England Patriots in 1993 45/70 Vs Vikings in a Week 7 Matchup in his second season with New England Led the league in touchdowns (27 passing touchdown scores in the 1996 season- his fourth season in New England) 9:38
It’s a fine line to walk when it comes to debating on the talent of a QB. Football is a TEAM sport and you need talent all around. Also, there are a number of factors: coaching, scheme, players, IQ etc. For example some say Aikman should be thankful he had the talent around him, while others say the WR’s with the Colts and Broncos should be thankful they had Peyton Manning. In the end you really need to break down these factors, and watch film. You can’t simply just look at stats and championship wins.
It's become so fashionable to say that Troy Aikman is overrated that he's become underrated. Yes, he had incredible talent around him, but what you forget was that these weren't necessarily high character guys. (Emmitt was cool, but there were a lot of criminals and drug addicts in there). You needed that one guy to get them focused, and Aikman did a great job of that. Last year's Cleveland Browns showed what a highly talented team with no character looks like.
I could blind-list Aikman's stats next to Brad Johnson's stats, and you would likely guess wrong as to which stat line belonged to Aikman. He had enormous talent on the team, it was the era of massive holding by the O-line, and any team that stopped the run beat Dallas. I never saw a game you could say Aikman won with his arm. He was good, but that's it.
@@rossbach451 I think Brad Johnson gets painted with the brush that he was some caretaker QB who backed into a Super Bowl championship: Johnson was once a 4,000 yard passer for Washington Team and wasn't adverse to putting the ball up 40-50 times on any of the franchises he played for. In some ways, I think he's like Joe Flacco in terms of pecking order historically, but without the bazooka arm and the one great playoff run. Trent Dilfer? Fine, a caretaker QB who could do just enough in the right situation to get by. But not Johnson (interesting enough, I think the Ravens should've went hard after Johnson during the 2000 offseason instead of Elvis Grbac; I didn't like the Elvis idea then, and that went sideways in a hurry for the Ravens).
@Harry Engel I gotta admit, Troy Aikman is my favorite QB ever: I chose to go with him when he was in his second year and I was 13 thinking, "This is a guy I like to watch and grow up with". It worked out well. It's like what Michael Irvin said about Aikman: "He led us to three Super Bowls, and when I mean led, I mean LED". Aikman was the voice of reason on a team full of renegades and hooligans (with the exception of Emmitt, Daryl Johnston, Jay Novacek, and Darren Woodson). But since Aikman played the most important position in the sport, the fact that he had his head on straight went a long way for the Cowboys.
@@gluserty totally with you. Johnson got jobbed in Minnesota because Denny Green had to have a black QB. Trading him was the dumbest thing they did. Johnson was a very good QB who generally didn't hurt you with mistakes, and could win games with his arm.
@Harry Engel Yeah, I had a good time: I admired his toughness early, when he took a pounding and acted like it was no big deal in 1990, although the ending in 2000 was kind of sad; I think he made the right decision to retire, as I don't feel his body was holding up anymore and it seemed like he needed cortisone shots just to get through games at that point. I think the early beatings with those developing Cowboys squads probably shortened his career, but on the plus side he was able to enjoy ultimate success with some loaded teams.
Haha I did my undergrad in Boston in the 90’s, so I remember the Bledsoe years well. He was really good, we were glad to have him. Great arm. But man...I never seen a slower NFL player in my life. He was in slo-mo out there compared to everyone else. It was almost funny.
Wow how can you say elway had no supporting cast in his first 3 Superbowls winder whilhite v.johnson and the orange crush defense the reason elway and denver got blew out is bcos L.Taylor and the Giants defense were vicious and Phil Simms threw 5 tds in the second half the next year the played the Redskins the hogs had a better team elway threw 2 int and the 3rd they played Montana niners and walsh west coast offense and Lott and that vicious defense the reasin he finally got a ring was Terrell Davis
I remember seeing a game where they talked about Bill Parcells being a ground and pound coach with the Giants, the Jets, and the Cowboys. The announcers talked about the Patriots throwing 70 times under him. He apparently said, "I had Drew Bledsoe. I'm not crazy!" He was great for his time. Unfortunately, he's best known now as the NFL's version of Wally Pipp since he was the QB before Tom Brady.
Jim Kelly is a incredible man. Criminally underrated. Played catch with him as a kid he was larger than life and really nice. I'll never forget that day
Troy is the most underrated and unselfish qb of all time. In a playoff game I would easily take Aikman over all of these guys. Especially Favre, Kelly and Young.
Surrounded by great personell certain QBs shine in ways they wouldn't on a mediocre team. Behind a great team I'll take Aikman over Young. On an average team Steve Young of course.
Rings do count for something, yes, but having Pro Football Hall of Famers on your team like WR Michael Irvin, RB Emmitt Smith, G Larry Allen and HC Jimmy Johnson, well having other great players on your team can make it a piece of cake to win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years which the Cowboys did.
I love how people use Emmitt Smith for both sides of an arguement. When it comes to Troy Aikman, he was so good, it was the reason Aikman won. When it comes to Emmitt himself, people downgrade him because of his great line. First, you got Larry Allen. Can you name anyone else on that line? Emmitt succeeded not just because of that line, but because only Walter Payton matched his heart. And Troy succeeded because, 1, no one was more accurate ( which allowed Irvin to use his ability to box out defenders) and 2, he knew how to manage that talent properly.
Same could be said for Brady, except Aikman's post-season efficiency increased whereas Tom Brady decreased and was allowed to make mistakes because of top 10 defenses
@@craighenry2351 also Allen was only there for one SB, same with Deion. HoF on that first group were the triplets and Haley. That’s it. Then when everyone talks about the greatness of each they downplay it because they were together. You will never hear someone downplay Young, Montana, Rice. Not saying they aren’t better but it doesn’t even come up.
As a diehard Cowboys fan, I believe the idea of putting Troy Aikman ahead of Steve Young is asinine. If Steve Young could have played with the talent those Cowboys teams possessed, he would have earned a handful of rings.
No, he wouldn’t have. Young also had a talented team and system. Did any, any quarterback on this list, other than young, have Jerry Rice. No one is close to Jerry Rice as a receiver.
Drew Bledsoe was to New England was what Don Meredith was to Dallas. They were their teams QB,'S before they got good. And it's a travesty that both are not rememberd and respected for their what they did for their teams. RIP Dandy Don. Much love & respect and I'm a Washington fan .
How is Steve Young #4? Dude had 7 straight pro bowls from 92-98. 3x first team all pro 92-94. 3x 2nd team all pro. 2x MVP! 4x passing TD leader, 6x passer rating leader, 5x completion percentage leader and btw a super bowl champ and super bowl mvp having thrown 6 TD in the game. But yeah he’s #4. Give me a break!
I can't stand the Cowboys. With that being said, Troy Aikman, as an analyst, proves how intelligent he was as a quarterback and is as a person. The best thing he did was not as a pro but as a college player when he transferred from Oklahoma to UCLA. The OU offense, at that time, would not have showcased ALL of his skills as a QB. As abhorrent as the Cowboys were off the field, his leadership skills demanded focus by the other 10 players on offense. IMHO.
And He never even would have played at Oklahoma. Regardless of the offense, Switzer made his choice in Jamelle Holieway, and Jamelle won a national championship as a freshman. Transferring was a good decision. Transferring fast was an even better one. Instead of languishing on the bench for one or two more years, he wasted no time and left a no-win situation immediately.
Favre put Green Bay back on the map and he was exciting to watch not in spite of his ridiculous interceptions but because of them, when he threw the ball up in the air, every Packer fan's heart stopped and when it came down in the hands of the other team it was disappointing but when it came down in the hands of a Packer it was exhilarating.
He was a VERY conservative QB. Yardage never that great. Only threw for 20+ TDs once. Averaged about 15-17 TDs a game in his prime. The definition of a system guy.
Really, we are talking 2000 Ravens Trent Dilfer type stats if Dilfer had started all 16 games. Game manager type stats. Dilfer only started 8 games but he had 1,500 yards, 12 TDs and 11 INTs. Double those stats and its only all that different from a typical Aikman year in that he was on pace to throw more a few more INTs. But more TDs than Aikman ever threw either. Dilfer actually had two years for the Bucs in which he threw more TDs in a season than Aikman EVER did... TRENT DILFER.
Steve Young def was a better qb than Troy Aikman. Not to take anything away from Aikman, but I'd take Young all day over him. And I'm a fan of neither tbh
Can't ignore the mountain. Always love hearing Moss having to watch Favre. Plus no one was more excited than Brett and that as a kid was special.. no we have only rare glimpses of that in this sport at the QB position - just watch the mic'd up.
Dan Marino had 2 Hall of Fame Head Coaches in Don Shula and Jimmy Johnson, Shula won 2 Super Bowls as HC with the Dolphins before Marino, and Johnson won 2 Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys before joining Marino in Miami.

@@scottlong1552 Bledsoe beat Marino in the regular season and playoffs in 1997 Even with a broken finger, Bledsoe beat Marino once again on Monday Night in 1998
Sure, Bledsoe went to a Super Bowl. Plus he was one of the first 100 million $ contract type guys. Don't know the exact amount, might not have been THAT high, but the year before Brady took over he signed a MASSIVE contract. Not many people thought Bellicheck would go with Brady because they had just signed Bledsoe for so much. But that's why Bellicheck is Bellicheck. Not many coaches would of had the balls to go with Brady...
Jim Kelly wins those 4 SB's, he's easily the GOAT! 4 Rings, 4 in a row... That would've been unmatched!! Tom Brady couldn't have touched that. Very unfortunate that he couldn't win 1. Edit: RIP Don Shula aka Mr. Undefeated aka Mr. 17-0
@Hector Rodriguez Like seriously! We're talking a big shift in legacies!! Parcells doesn't win 2 rings as a coach.. LT would still have one. But, whose to say the Bills would've went all 4 years.. 🤔. Losing made them hungry but they just couldn't win 1. Sad.
Randall Cunningham’s throw against the Bills. Against the wind 5 yards inside the endzone with Bruce Smith and company trying to rip his head off. He throws it 65 yards in the fly for a touchdown!!!!
23:23 -23:33 I agree that Jimmy Johnson was not a good coaching fit for Marino, but saying it's an offense suited for high school is a stretch. Tell that to the Dallas Cowboys and "Three Rings" will be the response.
How many times in their four NFC championship meetings did Young beat Aikman? Answer, one and that one Dallas was robbed in that one by a pass interference no-call. What happened the next year when Deion wasn’t on the 49ers to interfere with Irvin? Cowboys win again (And with Barry Switzer as head coach, Barry Switzer). Marino got to one Super Bowl and never got there again. He didn’t even appear in one in the 90’s. Kelly had Four, Aikman 3, Elway 2, Favre 2. Even Jeff George had one. You need to rethink things.
Hmm...Warren Moon's best statistical season being considered the 1995 Vikings? Well, I think it's close: .2% higher completion percentage than in 1990, more completions (377-'95, 362-'90) same amount of touchdowns (33), but more yards in 1990 (4689 vs. 4228- '95) and a higher QB rating in '90 (96.8 in '90 vs. 91.5 -'95). Also, the 1990 Oilers made the playoffs (Moon ended up injured and not participating in the playoff game), while in 1995 the Vikings fell short. I do feel it was worth noting how the numbers were close, and that Moon could just flat out play in any offense, and in general: too bad his teams always seemed to let him down, even in games (regular season or playoffs) when the man was absolutely on fire (I thought he was beautiful to watch).
STILL the [ BEST ] black QB of ALL - TIME , even with many years left up north on the CFL fields ! I'd put Russell Wilson at NO # 2 ? Can he catch Moon at this point , I don't know ?
Don't forget Romo also replaced Drew Bledsoe and I was a huge Bledsoe fan when he came to Dallas to bad he didn't have a chance to prove himself again in the playoffs. The cowboys lost 7 games in 05 in Bledsoe first year as a cowboy and 5 of those losses was because Dallas had no kicker he probably could have won the superbowl with Dallas that 05 season if they had a kicker because the kickers missed so many close easy field goals it was frustrating
Sounds like the VARY [ SAME ] thing Justen Herbert went through in his 1st [ 2 ] years in the NFL ? 18 & 13 missed / blocked kicks in his 1st [ 2 ] years , NO NFL in those 2 years was even CLOSE to those BAD stats !
Mistake: Narrator claims Marino went 3-7 in the playoffs in the 90s. He actually won 5 playoff games in the 90s (90-Chiefs, 92-Chargers, 94-Chiefs, 98-Bills, 99-Seahawks).
The AFC East was loaded with great QB’s during this time. Jim Lelly, Dan Marino, and Drew Bledsoe were all great. The Jets did have Ken O’Brien the beginning of the 90s, Boomer in the middle, and Vinny in 1998 with the amazing season he had.
After throwing a TD on the opening position, Farve threw an INT and fumbled on the next two possessions in Super Bowl XXXII and Green Bay fell behind 17-7 to Denver. If not for the turnovers, the Packers should have been back to back champions
Steve Young lead the league in QB rating 6 times in the 90s...and that doesn't factor in what he did on the ground. Stats aren't everything but it's hard to ignore those kinds of numbers and not put him 1 or 2.
My list based on the 10 Qbs listed : #1 Steve Young ( best qb of the 90s ) #2 Brett Frave #3 Jim Kelly #4 Troy Aikman ( I list Aikman #4 cuz unlike Kelly/Frave he didnt hard carry the cowboys. Im sayin this as a life time cowboy fan and even put a 49er over him. ) #5 Drew Bledsoe #6 John Elway #7 Dan Marino #8 Warren Moon #9 Randall Cunningham #10 Jeff George
What lol you sound stupid ass hell before aikman cowboys were a laughing stock and young had a better team with better receivers and defense he did get carry lol
Aikman won more games in the 90s in ANY DECADE at that time. Troy also beat Young TWICE in Championship Play. It would've been three if the refs call that Defensive Pass interference on Dieon Sanders.
I think Favre is deserved number one only for the fact that he won three MVPs in that decade. Wanna know who didn’t win any MVPs in that decade? Elway and Aikman. They both didn’t even get first team all pro in the decade. I think that’s the deciding factor combined with Super Bowl rings
So let me see if I'm understanding this correctly- You have John Elway behind Farve, after Elway won back-to-back titles- one AGAINST Farve- , and rode off into the sunset with his last game being Super Bowl MVP. Oh, and at the time of his retirement, he was the all-time winningest Quarterback in NFL History, and had 2 rings to Farve's 1. And while Farve had great regular seasons, he cost the Packers numerous playoff games with his bad interceptions time and time again. Absolutely ridiculous. In fact, I'd have Farve 3rd, behind Elway and Aikman.
LOL....I think QBs being rated for Super Bowls are overrated.....The best stoppage defense wins in every team sport..... Period.....Unless your Joe Montana or Brady.... You're not reason why the team wins the Super Bowl!!!
@@benmarino1913 No!! Quarterback are judged by wins & losses since they're the focal point of the football team. What haunts Marino is that they should've gone to the Super Bowl where they would've stood a good chance of defeating the Bears. The Bears only loss the entire '85 season came at the hands of the Dolphins. You don't think the Bears breathed a huge sigh of relief when the Patriots beat the Dolphins?? Based on what happened on that Monday night in Miami, they sure did.
Moon 🌚🌝 is so underrated it's criminal.. dude had a rocket 🚀 for an arm 🦾 and was accurate and he didn't play until he was older so if you would have came into the pros after college he'd easily be in top 10 and everything passing wise
That only counts for so much. Roger Staubach is my favorite, but Terry Bradshaw won four Super Bowls and Roger only two. Bradshaw also beat Roger for two of those wins. Sometimes you just have to accept facts. Steve Young was a great quarterback, but Aikman beat him Three times in four years (But for a missed PI call it should have been four of four). I applaud you for your choice of favorite quarterbacks. But sometimes numbers don’t lie.
@Craig Henry lol all they said was that their favorite quarterback was Steve Young 😂 they didnt say Steve was better or worse than anyone previously mentioned lol. You can have a favorite player that isnt as good/successful as another player lmfao. Bandwagoning to the most current dominant player is just sad lmfao.
I'm with everyone here...Jeff George ahead of Randall Cunningham is insanity. In fact there are a lot of quarterbacks I'd put ahead of him in the 90's...Vinny Testaverde, Mark Brunell, Chris Chandler, Jeff Blake just off the top of my head...
Farve won 3 MVP's and went to two Superbowls. And they are only factoring in what he did in the 90's. He's number one hands down, (Although I think Young should be number 2)
Jon948 I think Favre wins in the discussion with Young because he beat him in the playoffs 3 times in the decade. And had it not been for a bad call he would’ve beat him all 4 times.
dragonboy141 Steve Young had to square off with the Cowboys 3 times in the NFC title game when the Cowboys were stacked. Favre would not beat those Cowboys.
I feel like the reason George should be on the list is a matter of semantics on the word "top," but for me, I think it's not just performance but how iconic. How many fans they had, how much people talk about them. Like Bledsoe, for instance, could never not be on this list because he's still such a beloved player.
The critiques of Warren Moon having “inflated stats” because he “played in the Run & Shoot offense” are ridiculous. Steve Young played in a pass-happy offense, Dan Marino played in a pass happy offense, Jim Kelly played in the K-Gun in Buffalo....and NONE of those QBs are critiqued for “not playing in a “normal” (whatever that means) pro style offense”. The bias against Moon is still as prevalent today as it was in 1978
Also- Moon played in an era long before offense-friendly rule changes became a thing (90s offenses did not have the favorable rules of 2004), not to mention he played a ton of games on Astroturf rather than fieldturf and roughing the passer penalties meant you REALLY had to rough the passer (and think of how hard those hits had to be on the artificla turf)
In the 90s, 4000 yard passing seasons didn't grow on trees like they do today. When Moon threw 4000 yards back to back seasons, that wasn't as easy as it is today.
I'm so glad though that moon is in the hall of fame
There is an incredible hatred in the nfl for the run n shoot offense
@@chrisuncleahmad And he did that at 34/35. We have an inflated sense of what older QB's can do now due to rule changes and schemes altered to favor such passing, but Warren Moon was playing at a high level when most former high caliber QB's were pretty much on the way out if not having warmed the bench already. He got into the league at 28, at a point when few teams would want to build around such a player let alone a bad team in the Oilers.
Yea, But when it was winning time meaning playoff time Warren Moon was very overrated. Great at putting up regular season stats HORRIBLE at winning.
As times passes, more and more people have no idea that Drew Bledsoe was on his way to the Hall in 2001. He took that franchise from being a complete joke, to legitimacy. And it’s a shame he’s being forgotten.

That's just not true, Randall Cunningham threw for 16,624 yards and 121 touchdowns in the 90s, while Jeff George threw for 26,045 yards and 147 touchdowns. Jeff George threw for 9421 yards and 26 more touchdowns, that's why he deserves to be higher on the list than Ramdall Cunningham.

@@FFassassin71 Russell wasn't intersted in football at all after getting money. George was what you call a QB-tease. He could play, but just didn't want to....
Steve Young is easily the best QB of the '90s. He led the league in completion percentage 5 times, passing TDs 4 times, passing TD percentage 3 times, yards per attempt and adjusted yards per attempt 5 times, interception percentage 2 times, passing yards per game 2 times, net yards per attempt 5 times, adjusted net yards per attempt 4 times, and passer rating 6 times. He also led the 49ers to 8 playoff wins, 4 NFC championship game appearances, and a Super Bowl win.
Yes, but Favre had Steve’s number (even though they are not on the field at the same time) - beating him in the playoffs three years in the row in the ‘95, ‘96 and ‘97 seasons (with two of these games at Candlestick Park). Steve did win one back in the 98 playoffs but by then neither of their teams were strong SB contenders.
Young was 2-5 against his two nemesis Farve and Aikman in the playoffs
He was the most consistent..from 1991-98....But never the best (outside of his MVP yrs)....91-93...Marino or Elway......95-98....Marino, Elway, and Favre were better IMAO.

@@howardcosell2022 I mean Aikmen was not the reason the cowboys bear the niners. It was his stacked ass team. Swap aikmen and Steve and they cowboys win 10 super bowls
How did Mark Brunell not make this list. He made The playoffs 4 straight years. In 1996 he Beat Kelly up in Buffalo, then the following week he beat Elway in Denver. In 1999 his team had the best record in football and he beat Marino 62-7
He should have made the list.
Yeah, he certainly deserves to be there over Jeff George and maybe even Randall Cunningham.

@@MultiEviscerator - After the 1992 AFC Championship loss he wasn’t really a contender anymore. He hit some mind boggling career numbers in the later half of the decade but he wasn’t much post 1992.

@@johnbrowntheprophet Jeff George yes, Im also not sure about over Randall Cunningham although arguably his best years were in the 80s
The disrespect on Moon! Should be much higher in my opinion.
If you factor in the 80's I would definitely agree with that.
I agree He must be 2 and Marino 1
Steve Young took his team to 4 Conference championships and won a super bowl, setting a TD record in that game, too. He gets a bad rap for losing twice to the Cowboys; but to be honest, they were so good in 92-93 that they werent going to be denied by anyone. Troy Aikman, on the other hand, was an effective leader who absolutely hated losing. Leadership is one of those intangibles that win championships.
Aikmen had a great offensive line in 91 and beyond. Mediocre with a team around him.
@@RisingRecluse people now say the same about Emmitt Smith, as an excuse to downplay his stats, but that O-line didn’t become “great” until Smith arrived. Irvin had been in the league four seasons, before finally breaking out in ‘91. Novacek wasn’t a great tight end, until he came to Dallas. Alvin Harper was a total bust, once he left the team. They all depended upon each other to be great. Aikman was a system QB who ran it to perfection, during those championship years; and that’s why his peers voted him to 6 Pro Bowls. During the regular season, the team could win without him; but in the playoffs, they needed him to lead the team, make the right decisions, be deadly accurate, and make the big throws, when it was time. His leadership was underrated, especially in todays NFL, where it’s all about stats.
@matsugo24 I will give some credit here. Aikmen spent his first two seasons on his back and came back from that. Emitts rookie season he ran 3.9 yards per carry and Cunningham got more yards than him. 1991 was a breakout year for the triplets and the season Erik Williams neutralized Hall of Fame defensive linemen. Credit goes to Smith for his durability. However, Aikmen does noes get in the hall of fame with an average offensive line.
@@RisingRecluse perhaps, but it’s crazy how three of those linemen (Newton, Gogan, and Tuinei) were veteran holdovers from the Landry regime, back when the o-line was considered terrible. It’s as though everyone blossomed together, around 1991, when the main pieces were finally in place. Williams was a big addition, for sure. I don’t think the triplets would be who they are, apart from each other, including the o-line.
@@RisingRecluse, that same offensive line gave up 11 sacks against the eagles. They were not great at pass blocking. In the run blocking game, Emmitt created way more opportunities than what he is given credit for. Other RBs tried to run behind that line and failed miserably. That O line was extremely overrated. Also keep in mind that Larry Allen didn't show up until 95.
Relevance of the Packers in the last 30 years in the NFL because of two QB's is incredible.
People from the current era don't understand the literal decades of irrelevance the Packers underwent and why Farve doing what he did was so damn important for that city, a city that is for all culturally significant intents and purposes only about football. Kansas City and Green Bay suffered some serious droughts of football unimportance. I don't even want to say ineptitude, because we think of teams like that we think of Cleveland in the aughts, Cincy in the 90's, for example. They were a grey blur, teams noone noticed or cared about year-year. Farve brought life back to the organization, rejuvenated them.
Troy is my guy. If you base this list on winning and championships then you can’t deny Troy was the best. Troy had the perfect stats for a winning quarterback. If Troy was asked to throw the ball 50 times a game with his accuracy he would be off the charts.
The other lists of the decades had the guy with the most rings at no.1. This was the only one that didn’t.
It’s a crime Troy wasn’t 1 on this list.
@@TBevill1231 Joe Montana had waaayyy better statistics compared to Aikman and had 2 MVPs, along with having 5 all pros compared to Aikman’s zero.

Jeff George better then Cunningham in the 90’s.. That’s a joke
I'm not a Philly fan but jeff George was always injured and a pain in the ass how he made it over Cunningham is crazy
Cunningham was incredible & I don’t see his position on the list as reflective of who was better. Cunningham’s first peak was over by 1991 & then peaked again in 1998. This list is more about what QBs did in the decade of the 1990s so George kind of got his spot by default because he played every year from 1990 to 1999 with great arm talent but no real success while Cunningham had injuries & even retired once. But Cunningham’s career was far superior to George’s.
I went to college with Jeff George and it has nothing to do on it's face with his QB abilities, but what an asshole. It goes to explain why he could not get along with any coach ever in the NFL.
Rich Farfugnuven Wow. I’ve heard that before & apparently he admits it as well. There was something about how that attention went to ppl’s heads back then. Notice that most of today’s QBs are pretty serious about their religion. I guess that’s a trait they look for to keep them grounded.
@Harry EngelILL-INI
If these critics think warren moon had 'inflated stats,' remember offenses did not have 90s advantages like today:
Moon played in an era long before offense-friendly rule changes became a thing (90s offenses did not have the favorable rules of 2004), not to mention he played a ton of games on Astroturf rather than fieldturf and roughing the passer penalties meant you REALLY had to rough the passer (and think of how hard those hits had to be on the artificial turf)
The rules are not more favorable. People insist on lying to themselves about offense after 2003
Moon n George had ta have da livest 90s arms!!
It should also be mentioned that roughing the passer was not a yardage penalty for a long time, and the ball was instead spotted wherever the pass landed
"You can go to Gillette on any given Sunday, and see a Drew Bledsoe jersey" That still holds up today!
That just means they are too cheap to buy a new one.

@@cyrillesu Yeah, I don't think George was as creative as Favre, or as lighthearted (seriously, that might count for something: even when Favre played wild, I don't think Packers coaches could stay mad at him, while George seemed wound a little tight and was easy to anger).

LOL....He's probably the 15th best 90s Qb at the most....
Why is no one in a uproar over Steve Young at #4?? Him along with Aaron Rodgers are two of the most versatile quarterbacks in NFL history. He's not getting enough credit for his otherworldly passer ratings in an era where QB ratings peaked around 90-95. 4 straight 100+ passer rating seasons from '91-94. That's unheard of during the 90's. In today's NFL, only Drew Brees & Aaron Rodgers can come close to that.
And Russell Wilson
@Harry Engel this is more what i was thinking. Possibly switching Elway and Aikman. But i was shocked to see Steve Young that low
NFL films put him 81 on Best Players of All Time. I'm pretty sure they meant 18, but didn't want to admit it.
These Top 4 QB Win/Loss in the 90s:
Troy Aikman 90-53
John Elway 84-49
Brett Favre 82-43

These Top 4 QB TD-Int-Yds in the 90s:
Brett Favre 235-141-30,894
John Elway 180-112-30,280
Troy Aikman 149-109-29,561
Steve Young 200-80-27,656
These Top 4 QB Comp%-QB Rat in the 90s:
Troy Aikman 62.2 - 84.5
John Elway 58.8 - 84.5
Brett Favre 61.1 - 87.1
Steve Young 66.3 - 101.2
So Young was #2 or #1 in ALL THESE VITAL CATEGORIES except yards; tied #2 in wins, fewest losses, fewest interceptions, 2nd most touchdowns, highest completion % and QB rating BY A COUNTRY MILE and yet somehow...he's #2? Oh, it must be because he only made it to (and won) 1 Super Bowl, Aikman won 3 and Elway won 2, and while Favre also only won 1 he was larger than life personality-wise, which obviously means more than the absurd numbers Young put up, right? That's just as a passer, and doesn't include his absurd running numbers!
Young was the top QB of the 90s and I really don't see that it's close. His stats were purely better than Favre's, and the only argument Aikman and Elway can offer is more Superbowls, which is not a valid metric of QB greatness on its own
@@shanksmcnasty6650 Young was an exceptional runner. Where is their highlights of the 10 greatest running plays. He would have to be in there. He had times runs where there would be a pile of bodies all around him and he would break free and run 20+ yards downfield. This was in addition to having passing stats that were comparable to Montana.
Watching those clowns get their panties in a twist over Favre being #1 just makes me laugh.
@Harry Engel Most of his ints was in the 90s
@Harry Engel He still threw a lot of bad ints in the 90s. You act like 141 ints isnt a lot LOL
I’m my opinion, Favre was the best QB of the 90s. 92-94, he had some good seasons and cemented himself as a franchise QB.
But 95-98 is really what people remember him for. He was truly amazing in those years and 95 not only showed that the Packers were contenders, but was also Favre’s best season ever imo. He threw for the most yards ever in his career, had the best completion percentage of his career and did this with nothing.
Green Bay had a great defense in those years but the offense is never really looked at. Look at the great QBs of the 90s. Elway had Davis and Sharpe and Smith. Aikman had Smith and Irvin. Young had Rice and Waters. Favre had nothing. He only had a 1000 yard rusher 3 times. In 95, his fullback Edgar Bennett barely ran for 1000 yards and only 3 TDs. And his WR was Robert Brooks, a guy who only had 2 1000 yards seasons in the 90s. Out of Favre’s 1990s stint, he only had a RB that made the Pro Bowl once and only 4 times did one of his WRs make a Pro Bowl (3 of those times were Sterling Sharpe who had a career ending injury before Favre’s Super Bowl runs). He had barely any offensive help and yet he won a Super Bowl and almost won another with mediocre players while winning 3 MVPs at the same time, that really shows how good he was at that time. He deserves to be #1.
Harry Engel I always look at 99 and you can see the decline the next few years. Mike Holmgren held Favre at that high level. He made Favre a 3 time MVP. I truly wonder what could have happened if Holmgren would have stayed. I look at the 01-03 team and I see Super Bowl potential (especially with Ahman Green. Best GB RB ever) and if Holmgren is there to keep Favre in check, I can’t guarantee there isn’t another SB trophy or two in Green Bay
Harry Engel the thing is, Freeman for a very brief period (97-98) was one of the best in the NFL. He had two very productive seasons including an All Pro in 98 but after that, he very quickly declined. He had another decent year or two but that was it.
Levens is honestly a real bummer. He was one of the first instances of the “Madden Curse”. He really started to come into his own in 96 but broke out for over 1400 yards in 97. Honestly I feel the reason GB lost SB XXXII was because they didn’t use Levens enough.
But by 98, he tore his knee and was never the same. That also really hurt the Packers in 98 cause they didn’t have a run game anymore and Favre had to force a lot of passes to make up for the lack of run game.
For 2 years, he was a great RB. But 2 years isn’t enough. He then got replaced by Ahman Green (best GB running back ever) and won another NFC championship ring with the Eagles in 04.
Favre for 96-98, had a decent cast that kept rotating out way to much. I mean you go from 93 having your WR be Sterling Sharpe and RB being Darrel Thompson and 2 years later they’re completely different. They also had Andre Rison for a year in 96. Don’t know why they didn’t keep him. Definitely would have helped in 97. But if Sharpe is healthy and Levens is healthy, I guarantee another SB.
I like Kurt Warner, he won the Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP, and 2 NFL MVP's and made the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 with the St. Louis Rams, but he only played for 4 months in the 1990s in the 1999-2000 NFL season, but Warner would be in the top 4 of greatest 2000s QB's of all time!
He actually played 2 seasons
Even though he was SBXXXIV mvp and won 2 NFL MVPs and a SBXXXIV championship ring 💍
His career was shortened by injuries
I don’t believe he was a top 5 QB in the 2000s
He’s had one hell of a career at Quarterback in the NFL at his peak as a Ram 🐏
What, his Cardinals years don't count? And I can tell you've never been to the football hall of fame because unlike baseball you don't go in under 1 team or wear a cap with a team on it.

It’s a fine line to walk when it comes to debating on the talent of a QB. Football is a TEAM sport and you need talent all around. Also, there are a number of factors: coaching, scheme, players, IQ etc. For example some say Aikman should be thankful he had the talent around him, while others say the WR’s with the Colts and Broncos should be thankful they had Peyton Manning. In the end you really need to break down these factors, and watch film. You can’t simply just look at stats and championship wins.
It's become so fashionable to say that Troy Aikman is overrated that he's become underrated. Yes, he had incredible talent around him, but what you forget was that these weren't necessarily high character guys. (Emmitt was cool, but there were a lot of criminals and drug addicts in there). You needed that one guy to get them focused, and Aikman did a great job of that. Last year's Cleveland Browns showed what a highly talented team with no character looks like.
I could blind-list Aikman's stats next to Brad Johnson's stats, and you would likely guess wrong as to which stat line belonged to Aikman. He had enormous talent on the team, it was the era of massive holding by the O-line, and any team that stopped the run beat Dallas. I never saw a game you could say Aikman won with his arm. He was good, but that's it.
@@rossbach451 I think Brad Johnson gets painted with the brush that he was some caretaker QB who backed into a Super Bowl championship: Johnson was once a 4,000 yard passer for Washington Team and wasn't adverse to putting the ball up 40-50 times on any of the franchises he played for. In some ways, I think he's like Joe Flacco in terms of pecking order historically, but without the bazooka arm and the one great playoff run. Trent Dilfer? Fine, a caretaker QB who could do just enough in the right situation to get by. But not Johnson (interesting enough, I think the Ravens should've went hard after Johnson during the 2000 offseason instead of Elvis Grbac; I didn't like the Elvis idea then, and that went sideways in a hurry for the Ravens).
@Harry Engel I gotta admit, Troy Aikman is my favorite QB ever: I chose to go with him when he was in his second year and I was 13 thinking, "This is a guy I like to watch and grow up with". It worked out well. It's like what Michael Irvin said about Aikman: "He led us to three Super Bowls, and when I mean led, I mean LED". Aikman was the voice of reason on a team full of renegades and hooligans (with the exception of Emmitt, Daryl Johnston, Jay Novacek, and Darren Woodson). But since Aikman played the most important position in the sport, the fact that he had his head on straight went a long way for the Cowboys.
@@gluserty totally with you. Johnson got jobbed in Minnesota because Denny Green had to have a black QB. Trading him was the dumbest thing they did. Johnson was a very good QB who generally didn't hurt you with mistakes, and could win games with his arm.
@Harry Engel Yeah, I had a good time: I admired his toughness early, when he took a pounding and acted like it was no big deal in 1990, although the ending in 2000 was kind of sad; I think he made the right decision to retire, as I don't feel his body was holding up anymore and it seemed like he needed cortisone shots just to get through games at that point. I think the early beatings with those developing Cowboys squads probably shortened his career, but on the plus side he was able to enjoy ultimate success with some loaded teams.
Aikman was a damn good quarterback. Yes he had Emmit Smith and Michael Irvin but he still had to throw the ball and read the coverages .
I'll give him credit for surviving his first two seasons on his back. Statistically less than mediocre before Erik Williams joined the team.
Haha I did my undergrad in Boston in the 90’s, so I remember the Bledsoe years well. He was really good, we were glad to have him. Great arm. But man...I never seen a slower NFL player in my life. He was in slo-mo out there compared to everyone else. It was almost funny.
LOL...Still faster than Brady...
@@JustNeedaBeerandPark no lol
Elway getting two rings years after losing three championships really was a surprise.
Elway finally got a ring only bcos of TD Terrell Davis
Elway had a great team when he went to the Superbowl all 5 x they had the orange crush defense
Wow how can you say elway had no supporting cast in his first 3 Superbowls winder whilhite v.johnson and the orange crush defense the reason elway and denver got blew out is bcos L.Taylor and the Giants defense were vicious and Phil Simms threw 5 tds in the second half the next year the played the Redskins the hogs had a better team elway threw 2 int and the 3rd they played Montana niners and walsh west coast offense and Lott and that vicious defense the reasin he finally got a ring was Terrell Davis
Yea, Courtesy of Terrell Davis.
Two Words: Terrel Davis. If they don’t draft him Elway wouldn’t have made the playoffs from 1995 on
Warren Moon in my mind is the most underrated quarterback in NFL history.
Jeff George deserves to be on this list just for his highlight throws alone. He didn’t win but he put up numbers anywhere he went in the 90’s.
Should've been Favre or Young at the top in either order.
I remember seeing a game where they talked about Bill Parcells being a ground and pound coach with the Giants, the Jets, and the Cowboys. The announcers talked about the Patriots throwing 70 times under him. He apparently said, "I had Drew Bledsoe. I'm not crazy!" He was great for his time. Unfortunately, he's best known now as the NFL's version of Wally Pipp since he was the QB before Tom Brady.
Good coaches can win when they assemble the players that can run their game plan. Great coaches are able to adjust and win with the players they have.
If I had a choice between Elway, Aikman, Young, and Favre Brett would be my 4th option.
Jim Kelly is a incredible man. Criminally underrated. Played catch with him as a kid he was larger than life and really nice. I'll never forget that day
If only Dan Marino had a top 10 defense during his prime
And Jimmy Johnson was allowed to transition them to a run first team. Marino would have at least 1 ring
Troy is the most underrated and unselfish qb of all time. In a playoff game I would easily take Aikman over all of these guys. Especially Favre, Kelly and Young.
Troy was only 7-1 against the three mentioned
I’ll take a quarterback like Troy Aikman over a Philip Rivers or a Matt Ryan any day of the week.
Young was better QB, but I agree that Aikman is underrated. He could play and he was the lockerroom leader....
Surrounded by great personell certain QBs shine in ways they wouldn't on a mediocre team.
Behind a great team I'll take Aikman over Young. On an average team Steve Young of course.
Troy Aikman Steve Young and Jim Kelly were the top 3 qbs of the 90's
Those nineties Patriots uniforms were pretty cool, before they went to those Cigna-navy-blue-flannel “business suits” they wore in the 2000s-forward.
I guess damn near everyone one on this list and issac green thank u once again for these video u are truly a Mvp
You're welcome.
Rings do count for something, yes, but having Pro Football Hall of Famers on your team like WR Michael Irvin, RB Emmitt Smith, G Larry Allen and HC Jimmy Johnson, well having other great players on your team can make it a piece of cake to win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years which the Cowboys did.
I love how people use Emmitt Smith for both sides of an arguement. When it comes to Troy Aikman, he was so good, it was the reason Aikman won. When it comes to Emmitt himself, people downgrade him because of his great line. First, you got Larry Allen. Can you name anyone else on that line? Emmitt succeeded not just because of that line, but because only Walter Payton matched his heart. And Troy succeeded because, 1, no one was more accurate ( which allowed Irvin to use his ability to box out defenders) and 2, he knew how to manage that talent properly.
Same could be said for Brady, except Aikman's post-season efficiency increased whereas Tom Brady decreased and was allowed to make mistakes because of top 10 defenses
@@craighenry2351 also Allen was only there for one SB, same with Deion. HoF on that first group were the triplets and Haley. That’s it. Then when everyone talks about the greatness of each they downplay it because they were together. You will never hear someone downplay Young, Montana, Rice. Not saying they aren’t better but it doesn’t even come up.
As a diehard Cowboys fan, I believe the idea of putting Troy Aikman ahead of Steve Young is asinine. If Steve Young could have played with the talent those Cowboys teams possessed, he would have earned a handful of rings.
No, he wouldn’t have. Young also had a talented team and system. Did any, any quarterback on this list, other than young, have Jerry Rice. No one is close to Jerry Rice as a receiver.
Drew Bledsoe was to New England was what Don Meredith was to Dallas. They were their teams QB,'S before they got good. And it's a travesty that both are not rememberd and respected for their what they did for their teams. RIP Dandy Don. Much love & respect and I'm a Washington fan .
Both super underrated quarterbacks.
Jim Kelly and the Bills losing 4 Superbowls is the "Nick Anderson missing 4 straight free throws" of the NFL.
Good comparison n a small window
How is Steve Young #4? Dude had 7 straight pro bowls from 92-98. 3x first team all pro 92-94. 3x 2nd team all pro. 2x MVP! 4x passing TD leader, 6x passer rating leader, 5x completion percentage leader and btw a super bowl champ and super bowl mvp having thrown 6 TD in the game. But yeah he’s #4. Give me a break!
Steve young 4 in the 90s but top 5 of all time, classic thinking guys
I can't stand the Cowboys. With that being said, Troy Aikman, as an analyst, proves how intelligent he was as a quarterback and is as a person. The best thing he did was not as a pro but as a college player when he transferred from Oklahoma to UCLA. The OU offense, at that time, would not have showcased ALL of his skills as a QB. As abhorrent as the Cowboys were off the field, his leadership skills demanded focus by the other 10 players on offense.
IMHO.
And He never even would have played at Oklahoma. Regardless of the offense, Switzer made his choice in Jamelle Holieway, and Jamelle won a national championship as a freshman. Transferring was a good decision. Transferring fast was an even better one. Instead of languishing on the bench for one or two more years, he wasted no time and left a no-win situation immediately.
If they would have let Moon come straight to the NFL he would own every record and might have pulled off one super bowl
Favre put Green Bay back on the map and he was exciting to watch not in spite of his ridiculous interceptions but because of them, when he threw the ball up in the air, every Packer fan's heart stopped and when it came down in the hands of the other team it was disappointing but when it came down in the hands of a Packer it was exhilarating.
Not a cowboys fan but how you gonna say aikman was carried by his team but Steve young wasn’t? This dude arguably had a better team than aikman
He was a VERY conservative QB. Yardage never that great. Only threw for 20+ TDs once. Averaged about 15-17 TDs a game in his prime. The definition of a system guy.
Really, we are talking 2000 Ravens Trent Dilfer type stats if Dilfer had started all 16 games. Game manager type stats. Dilfer only started 8 games but he had 1,500 yards, 12 TDs and 11 INTs. Double those stats and its only all that different from a typical Aikman year in that he was on pace to throw more a few more INTs. But more TDs than Aikman ever threw either. Dilfer actually had two years for the Bucs in which he threw more TDs in a season than Aikman EVER did... TRENT DILFER.
*15-17 TDs a SEASON rather...
Steve Young def was a better qb than Troy Aikman. Not to take anything away from Aikman, but I'd take Young all day over him. And I'm a fan of neither tbh
Can't ignore the mountain.
Always love hearing Moss having to watch Favre.
Plus no one was more excited than Brett and that as a kid was special.. no we have only rare glimpses of that in this sport at the QB position - just watch the mic'd up.
Dan Marino had 2 Hall of Fame Head Coaches in Don Shula and Jimmy Johnson, Shula won 2 Super Bowls as HC with the Dolphins before Marino, and Johnson won 2 Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys before joining Marino in Miami.
Name any good player aside from Dan Marino from his Dolphins teams. I'll wait. Dude didn't have a defense or a run game
I've been looking for this one forever!!
Hey I'm not sure if they mentioned it, but did you know Warren Moon won multiple consecutive Grey Cups in the CFL
I’m a 90s kid and I miss it!! Especially football!! Go Niners!!
🤠☝️🇨🇱🐂 cowboys
Demny Green doesn't get enough respect as a head coach and quarterback coach

@@scottlong1552 Um, who won the one playoff meeting between the two in 1997? That's what I thought, idiot.
@@scottlong1552
Bledsoe beat Marino in the regular season and playoffs in 1997
Even with a broken finger, Bledsoe beat Marino once again on Monday Night in 1998
Sure, Bledsoe went to a Super Bowl. Plus he was one of the first 100 million $ contract type guys. Don't know the exact amount, might not have been THAT high, but the year before Brady took over he signed a MASSIVE contract. Not many people thought Bellicheck would go with Brady because they had just signed Bledsoe for so much. But that's why Bellicheck is Bellicheck. Not many coaches would of had the balls to go with Brady...
Jim Kelly wins those 4 SB's, he's easily the GOAT! 4 Rings, 4 in a row... That would've been unmatched!! Tom Brady couldn't have touched that. Very unfortunate that he couldn't win 1.
Edit: RIP Don Shula aka Mr. Undefeated aka Mr. 17-0
@Hector Rodriguez Like seriously! We're talking a big shift in legacies!! Parcells doesn't win 2 rings as a coach.. LT would still have one. But, whose to say the Bills would've went all 4 years.. 🤔. Losing made them hungry but they just couldn't win 1. Sad.
Go Dallas, lol 😂
@ Lmao they will never win again!! 😂😂😂😂
@Hector Rodriguez crazy because they beat all those teams in the regular season.
Hector Rodriguez they were actually up at halftime in the second Dallas game
Randall Cunningham’s throw against the Bills. Against the wind 5 yards inside the endzone with Bruce Smith and company trying to rip his head off. He throws it 65 yards in the fly for a touchdown!!!!
23:23 -23:33 I agree that Jimmy Johnson was not a good coaching fit for Marino, but saying it's an offense suited for high school is a stretch. Tell that to the Dallas Cowboys and "Three Rings" will be the response.
John Madden has his fingerprints all over this list
Jeff George, million dollar arm, ten cent brain.
That is definitely not the first time I heard that. Tim Robbins can relate!
The 00s had a Jeff George too his name was Jay Cutler
Very underrated comment. Even the way he throws looks like cutler
Aikman over young and Marino is highway robbery
How many times in their four NFC championship meetings did Young beat Aikman? Answer, one and that one Dallas was robbed in that one by a pass interference no-call. What happened the next year when Deion wasn’t on the 49ers to interfere with Irvin? Cowboys win again (And with Barry Switzer as head coach, Barry Switzer). Marino got to one Super Bowl and never got there again. He didn’t even appear in one in the 90’s. Kelly had Four, Aikman 3, Elway 2, Favre 2. Even Jeff George had one. You need to rethink things.
You don't know anything, Miles. You really should keep your moronic thoughts to yourself.
The 90s had the best quarterbacks in nfl history. Aikman, farve, young, Montana, moon, Marino, Bledsoe, Testaverde, elway, to name a few.
Hmm...Warren Moon's best statistical season being considered the 1995 Vikings? Well, I think it's close: .2% higher completion percentage than in 1990, more completions (377-'95, 362-'90) same amount of touchdowns (33), but more yards in 1990 (4689 vs. 4228- '95) and a higher QB rating in '90 (96.8 in '90 vs. 91.5 -'95). Also, the 1990 Oilers made the playoffs (Moon ended up injured and not participating in the playoff game), while in 1995 the Vikings fell short. I do feel it was worth noting how the numbers were close, and that Moon could just flat out play in any offense, and in general: too bad his teams always seemed to let him down, even in games (regular season or playoffs) when the man was absolutely on fire (I thought he was beautiful to watch).
Moon sure did throw a pretty pass. He could spin it!!!
STILL the [ BEST ] black QB of ALL - TIME , even with many years left up north on the CFL fields ! I'd put Russell Wilson at NO # 2 ? Can he catch Moon at this point , I don't know ?
@@robertd.7060We're not including Mahomes?
Don't forget Romo also replaced Drew Bledsoe and I was a huge Bledsoe fan when he came to Dallas to bad he didn't have a chance to prove himself again in the playoffs. The cowboys lost 7 games in 05 in Bledsoe first year as a cowboy and 5 of those losses was because Dallas had no kicker he probably could have won the superbowl with Dallas that 05 season if they had a kicker because the kickers missed so many close easy field goals it was frustrating
Sounds like the VARY [ SAME ] thing Justen Herbert went through in his 1st [ 2 ] years in the NFL ? 18 & 13 missed / blocked kicks in his 1st [ 2 ] years , NO NFL in those 2 years was even CLOSE to those BAD stats !
Mistake: Narrator claims Marino went 3-7 in the playoffs in the 90s. He actually won 5 playoff games in the 90s (90-Chiefs, 92-Chargers, 94-Chiefs, 98-Bills, 99-Seahawks).
The AFC East was loaded with great QB’s during this time. Jim Lelly, Dan Marino, and Drew Bledsoe were all great. The Jets did have Ken O’Brien the beginning of the 90s, Boomer in the middle, and Vinny in 1998 with the amazing season he had.
Brett would have more rings if Sterling Sharpe didn't injure his neck.
Think if Holmgren never left.. i cant imagine them not having at least 2 more rings
After throwing a TD on the opening position, Farve threw an INT and fumbled on the next two possessions in Super Bowl XXXII and Green Bay fell behind 17-7 to Denver. If not for the turnovers, the Packers should have been back to back champions
Brett Favre had 3 MVP seasons in a roll
Steve Young lead the league in QB rating 6 times in the 90s...and that doesn't factor in what he did on the ground. Stats aren't everything but it's hard to ignore those kinds of numbers and not put him 1 or 2.
Fa real
I love having Gruden on here
I'd take Aikman any day over Favre or Young. Those guys almost always made the big mistake in the big game.
My list based on the 10 Qbs listed :
#1 Steve Young ( best qb of the 90s )
#2 Brett Frave
#3 Jim Kelly
#4 Troy Aikman ( I list Aikman #4 cuz unlike Kelly/Frave he didnt hard carry the cowboys. Im sayin this as a life time cowboy fan and even put a 49er over him. )
#5 Drew Bledsoe
#6 John Elway
#7 Dan Marino
#8 Warren Moon
#9 Randall Cunningham
#10 Jeff George
What lol you sound stupid ass hell before aikman cowboys were a laughing stock and young had a better team with better receivers and defense he did get carry lol
Aikman won more games in the 90s in ANY DECADE at that time. Troy also beat Young TWICE in Championship Play. It would've been three if the refs call that Defensive Pass interference on Dieon Sanders.
Jay Webb???? He didn't hard carry the cowboys.
Favre>Young
I think Favre is deserved number one only for the fact that he won three MVPs in that decade. Wanna know who didn’t win any MVPs in that decade? Elway and Aikman. They both didn’t even get first team all pro in the decade. I think that’s the deciding factor combined with Super Bowl rings
So let me see if I'm understanding this correctly- You have John Elway behind Farve, after Elway won back-to-back titles- one AGAINST Farve- , and rode off into the sunset with his last game being Super Bowl MVP. Oh, and at the time of his retirement, he was the all-time winningest Quarterback in NFL History, and had 2 rings to Farve's 1. And while Farve had great regular seasons, he cost the Packers numerous playoff games with his bad interceptions time and time again.
Absolutely ridiculous.
In fact, I'd have Farve 3rd, behind Elway and Aikman.
If only my Uncle Dan won a Super Bowl....He was still THE MAN though.
LOL....I think QBs being rated for Super Bowls are overrated.....The best stoppage defense wins in every team sport..... Period.....Unless your Joe Montana or Brady.... You're not reason why the team wins the Super Bowl!!!
@@JustNeedaBeerandPark Good Point. I agree 100%.
@@benmarino1913 No!! Quarterback are judged by wins & losses since they're the focal point of the football team. What haunts Marino is that they should've gone to the Super Bowl where they would've stood a good chance of defeating the Bears. The Bears only loss the entire '85 season came at the hands of the Dolphins. You don't think the Bears breathed a huge sigh of relief when the Patriots beat the Dolphins?? Based on what happened on that Monday night in Miami, they sure did.
Moon 🌚🌝 is so underrated it's criminal.. dude had a rocket 🚀 for an arm 🦾 and was accurate and he didn't play until he was older so if you would have came into the pros after college he'd easily be in top 10 and everything passing wise
Steve Young is my favorite quarterback of all-time.
That only counts for so much. Roger Staubach is my favorite, but Terry Bradshaw won four Super Bowls and Roger only two. Bradshaw also beat Roger for two of those wins. Sometimes you just have to accept facts. Steve Young was a great quarterback, but Aikman beat him Three times in four years (But for a missed PI call it should have been four of four). I applaud you for your choice of favorite quarterbacks. But sometimes numbers don’t lie.
@Craig Henry lol all they said was that their favorite quarterback was Steve Young 😂 they didnt say Steve was better or worse than anyone previously mentioned lol.
You can have a favorite player that isnt as good/successful as another player lmfao. Bandwagoning to the most current dominant player is just sad lmfao.
I'm with everyone here...Jeff George ahead of Randall Cunningham is insanity. In fact there are a lot of quarterbacks I'd put ahead of him in the 90's...Vinny Testaverde, Mark Brunell, Chris Chandler, Jeff Blake just off the top of my head...
Why am I not seeing Kordell Stewart of the Steelers or Steve McNair of the Tennessee Oilers?!
You definitely have a point with McNair.
I did love watching Steve McNair
An argument for farve being #1 is him being the falcons 3rd string qb, to becoming a 5 time pro bowler, and 3 time nfl mvp
Jeff George- Million dollar arm, ten cent head.
Farve won 3 MVP's and went to two Superbowls. And they are only factoring in what he did in the 90's. He's number one hands down, (Although I think Young should be number 2)
I said the same. Young had 2 MVP's. 6 TD's in the SB, and the highest QB rating when he retired, so think could be #1 depending on your preference.
Jon948 I think Favre wins in the discussion with Young because he beat him in the playoffs 3 times in the decade. And had it not been for a bad call he would’ve beat him all 4 times.
dragonboy141 I hadn’t even thought about that. But yes
dragonboy141 Steve Young had to square off with the Cowboys 3 times in the NFC title game when the Cowboys were stacked. Favre would not beat those Cowboys.
Steve would a three time champion easily if had got through the Cowboys.
I feel like the reason George should be on the list is a matter of semantics on the word "top," but for me, I think it's not just performance but how iconic. How many fans they had, how much people talk about them. Like Bledsoe, for instance, could never not be on this list because he's still such a beloved player.
Is Kirk Cousins the 2010s Jeff George?
“ Someone should be above Favre just on Principle “
