Quarterback is the most important position in the NFL.
They’re the sun in the middle of their offense’s solar system. And while it’s possible to win a world title without an upper crust passer behind center, it’s harder than ever to pull that off in a league that values its aerial attacks more than ever. Eighteen of the last 20 Super Bowls have been won by quarterbacks who are likely bound for enshrinement in the Hall of Fame.
Some franchises have been blessed by multiple stars behind center. Others have lurched through barren deserts looking for a long-term solution who can make them a perennial contender. But every team has one (or, in rare cases) two quarterbacks who stand above the rest when it comes to naming a best ever.
And that’s what we’re here to discuss.
Longevity and team success played a significant role in figuring out who each franchise’s most legendary quarterback was. Some were no-brainers. Others were debates with no losers. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the opposite.
Who stands atop mountains and elevated hills across the NFL landscape? As of 2023, these are the jewels that stand out in each franchise’s crown.
