Born and raised in Baltimore, I hear still hear stories about Bert Jones from my dad. He was 13 during his 1976 MVP season, always tells me how the Colts would run into the Steeler or Raider wall every year. When you hear a guy like Belichick praise him, you knew the guy could play.

I'm an LSU grad (82) and the stuff Bert did is legendary. He also had some amazing siblings. They all went to college on scholarships (mostly athletic), and his brother "Hoss" was a fighter pilot and flew with the Thunderbirds.

As a Dolphins fan back then, I HATED Bert Jones. That was because the bastard was so good. His great connection with Roger Carr, who was Biletnikoff with more speed and no stickum, was tragic in its brevity. Just like Bert. As an appreciator of great players, they were deadly for too short a time, and that's a shame.

bellichek is a weirdo and a cheater and always has been and i really dont understand why everyone thinks hes anything but that. people wanna act like he knew brady was gonna come out and win like that. bellichek was a partial season away from getting fired from the perennial dumpster fire that the patriots were. its been 2 going on 3 years now my man. i know you made this comment last year but its time to start questioning that boys legacy. he is not a genius, he is in fact a lottery winner.

Bert Jones was badass. Dude had a cannon for an arm. Stabler was badass too. He’d be #1 on my list. The epitome of “just win, baby”. 24:42-“guts of a burglar”- That’s right. One of my favorite Stabler plays was a walk-off TD pass in a playoff game against Bert Jones and the Colts. The game is in overtime, the Raiders move the ball to within Field Goal range, and instead of running a play to line up the ball for the kicker, Stabler drops back and throws a TD pass to Casper in the corner of the end zone. Game over.

Not just overtime -- double overtime. As John Madden said, if that game had been a Super Bowl, it would be considered the greatest game in NFL history. He's probably right. It was one for the ages.

I didn't go to any lengths to verify but it sounds right. I also haven't verified my guess that his winning percentage as starter is comparable to the "hallworthy", so I could be wrong I suppose. I don't remember him throwing many interceptions with the Raiders but it doesn't surprise me. He wasn't all that great the first three quarters as I remember- probably shaking off a hangover which addresses your party guy reference. But I also remember that what seemed like every Sunday (just about the time Mom was calling us to supper dammit) he was leading the Raiders to a late game winning drive in the afternoon game.

Fun facts, in college Billy Kilmer was a single wing halfback and running quarterback. A 1962, his second season in the pros, a serious car accident ended his days of running the football. He was also the back who fumbled the ball on Jim Marshall's wrong way return for a safty in 1964. He took the 1972 Redskins to the Super Bowl after leading the NFL in TD passes and a passer rating of 84.8. They lost the Super Bowl to Miami, but only by the score of 14 - 7. However Kilmer threw a pass to a wide open Jerry Smith in the end zone, but the pass hit the cross bar and bounced away. That TD would have made it 14 - 14, and then, who knows. Consequently the following year the NFL moved the goal posts to the back of the end zone.

While in Vietnam, Staubach contacted the Cowboys, and he asked them to send him another crate of footballs so he could practice. They said, we just sent you a crate, what happened to them? His answer? They got hit with a mortar. After Roger left football, I was a college senior Army ROTC cadet and met him up near Horseshoe Bay in Texas on a little country road. We both were out early in the pre-dawn running. At a road juncture, his route took him left and I went right. We conversed for a good 15 minutes. One funny guy and such a REAL human being. He shook my hand and wished me luck and said always remember your oath. As a Texan and Cowboys fan, of course he gets my vote for #1.

His stats left much to be desired and if Jackie Smith hadn't dropped a touchdown pass in Super Bowl XXIII, Roger would have at least three rings. The reason why Roger never called his own plays is because Tom Landry created Dallas' whole offense and defense from scratch and felt he knew which plays to run in any given situation. Terry Bradshaw called his own plays in large part because he and Chuck Knoll didn't have the greatest working relationship and didn't want to create a sideline distraction. Put Roger on that team and they have five rings in the seventies easy. Put Bradshaw on the Cowboys and I doubt we'd have even one. Bradshaw wasn't anything special bro.

Favorite story about Staubach: During his four years active duty with the Navy, he took his 30 days of leave every year so he could attend Cowboys training camp. That means he did not get to have any extended time with his family, and was physically worn out going back to his unit in combat. Who else on this list can claim any comparison to grit and commitment?

The Baltimore Colts, led by Bert Jones at Quarterback, from 1975 (10-4), 1976 (11-3), and 1977 (10-4), were one of the best teams in the AFC. They had 2 obstacles(2 major problems)in their way: The Black n Gold and the Silver n Black. In 3 consecutive playoff games, Baltimore lost to Pittsburgh 28-10 in 1975, 40-14 in 1976, and in 1977 lost in double overtime to the Raiders 37-31 in a game they should've won.

Half the QB's in NFL today can't make that throw!! In 89 or 90, Bert Jones was in a QB Challenge. He was about 38, retired for about 6-7 years. He finished 1st in the retired players and 3rd overall.

He really struggled in the 70's and had perhaps the greatest comeback season of all time when he won the super bowl with the Raiders in early 80's. Leadership was a bigger part of being a QB in that era. The passing game wasn't as complicated as it has been the past 30 years, and the QB was NOWHERE NEAR as "protected" back then. I can't even imagine some of the concussions these guys endured. Still, no Namath or even a MENTION of Dawson? Come on.

The Steelers made 2 Whole offensive plays in that game 2 and both were against Neal Colzie As for 1976 Raiders Patriots game worst refereed game of all time the raiders were called for seven defensive penalties against New England on third or fourth down giving the Patriots a first down after they had been stopped and would have to punt count em 7 an all time record that’s like Seven turnovers and only the Oakland Raiders could have overcome that and next week totally demolish The great Pittsburgh Steelers so bad 24-7 that Stabler didn’t play one down in the Fourth quarter Mike Rae ? Did and finally I’m not saying the Raiders were better than the Steelers in the 70s I’m saying Stabler was better than Bradshaw Bradshaw so pathetic in 1974 he was benched and third string behind Terry Hanraty who uttererly sucked and Even worse Jefferson street Joe Gilliam. The only mistake the Raiders did was Stabler going into to 3 rivers stadium in 1974 and shutting out the big bad Steelers at home so bad they put Bradshaw back in It was the Steelers defense that carried the Steelers dumbass

Born and raised in Baltimore, I hear still hear stories about Bert Jones from my dad. He was 13 during his 1976 MVP season, always tells me how the Colts would run into the Steeler or Raider wall every year. When you hear a guy like Belichick praise him, you knew the guy could play.
I'm an LSU grad (82) and the stuff Bert did is legendary. He also had some amazing siblings. They all went to college on scholarships (mostly athletic), and his brother "Hoss" was a fighter pilot and flew with the Thunderbirds.
As a Dolphins fan back then, I HATED Bert Jones. That was because the bastard was so good. His great connection with Roger Carr, who was Biletnikoff with more speed and no stickum, was tragic in its brevity. Just like Bert. As an appreciator of great players, they were deadly for too short a time, and that's a shame.
It’s a good thing he ran into the Steelers in 76 77 Section 1 would’ve died if he didn’t
@Kidapollos5910 No shyte? Now that is impressive! That's the combat veteran side of me talking. But, I was a Bert Jones fan too. I was born in Maryland, so I had to like the Colts.
bellichek is a weirdo and a cheater and always has been and i really dont understand why everyone thinks hes anything but that. people wanna act like he knew brady was gonna come out and win like that. bellichek was a partial season away from getting fired from the perennial dumpster fire that the patriots were. its been 2 going on 3 years now my man. i know you made this comment last year but its time to start questioning that boys legacy. he is not a genius, he is in fact a lottery winner.
Roger Staubach, A Naval Academy Graduate, Heisman Trophy Winner, Vietnam Veteran, and all around very humble Human being. Without him there is a very high probability that the Dallas Cowboys would Not be Americas team! Great player.

@@miamibeachsunnydays8274 What he did after leaving the league makes him a legend as well: Great family man, successful businessman, and took care of his old teammates too. Also, when Montana was asked about QB goats, he said, "What about Danny (Marino)?" Even though he doesn't have the rings, he was a great QB. Also what about Terry Bradshaw? He has four rings too, and he played in Pittsburg, which was not easy.
Bert Jones was the Real Deal. As they said, if not for injuries, he would have easily made the Hall OF Fame.

Bert Jones was badass. Dude had a cannon for an arm. Stabler was badass too. He’d be #1 on my list. The epitome of “just win, baby”. 24:42-“guts of a burglar”- That’s right. One of my favorite Stabler plays was a walk-off TD pass in a playoff game against Bert Jones and the Colts. The game is in overtime, the Raiders move the ball to within Field Goal range, and instead of running a play to line up the ball for the kicker, Stabler drops back and throws a TD pass to Casper in the corner of the end zone. Game over.
Not just overtime -- double overtime. As John Madden said, if that game had been a Super Bowl, it would be considered the greatest game in NFL history. He's probably right. It was one for the ages. And I agree, Stabler was the best QB of the 70s. Staubach and Bradshaw were close behind, but Kenny would be my pick if I were starting a team back then.
The Ghost to the Post game
I was at that game. I was a kid, but I still have the Colts AFC east champions pennant on my wall. It's stained because some drunk asshole on the ramps of Memorial Stadium pissed on it. Still a treasured memento, although now that I think on it...ewww.

One of my favorite soundbites: Billy Kilmer on the sideline with the Saints
You could hear so clearly how miserably furious he was. The Saints were going down, but he wasn't about to go down quiet. I was never a Skins fan but I have great, great respect for Kilmer.
Saw Bert Jones and Kenny Anderson in an Epic game, week two 1976 28-27 Colts
Bert Jones definitely had a cannon arm, I remember watching a game he over threw the receiver and it dented the padding along the sidelines.🏈
Ken Stabler is the PERFECT embodiment of what a raiders QB should be in every trait.
Stabler threw a ridiculous amount of interceptions and hung around with a guy with mob ties. He just was in one Superbowl and never deserved to be in the hall of fame. Although an interesting character and a fun guy to be around if you like top party he is not hallworthy. His career stats are poor.

@@aracelyemmett3493 I found this stat on wikipedia: "Stabler's five consecutive appearances in conference championship games (from 1973 to 1977) remained a record for NFL quarterbacks for almost 40 years, until Stabler's record was surpassed by Tom Brady in 2016". I didn't go to any lengths to verify but it sounds right. I also haven't verified my guess that his winning percentage as starter is comparable to the "hallworthy", so I could be wrong I suppose. I don't remember him throwing many interceptions with the Raiders but it doesn't surprise me. He wasn't all that great the first three quarters as I remember- probably shaking off a hangover which addresses your party guy reference. But I also remember that what seemed like every Sunday (just about the time Mom was calling us to supper dammit) he was leading the Raiders to a late game winning drive in the afternoon game.

@@isaacgreen3273If Bert Jones and Jim Hart had better teams would they go to the NFL Hall of Fame?
Fun facts, in college Billy Kilmer was a single wing halfback and running quarterback. A 1962, his second season in the pros, a serious car accident ended his days of running the football. He was also the back who fumbled the ball on Jim Marshall's wrong way return for a safty in 1964. He took the 1972 Redskins to the Super Bowl after leading the NFL in TD passes and a passer rating of 84.8. They lost the Super Bowl to Miami, but only by the score of 14 - 7. However Kilmer threw a pass to a wide open Jerry Smith in the end zone, but the pass hit the cross bar and bounced away. That TD would have made it 14 - 14, and then, who knows. Consequently the following year the NFL moved the goal posts to the back of the end zone.
I agree as much as I love Stabler and Bradshaw I agree Roger "The Dodger" Staubach was the Quarterback of the 70s and is one of the best in history
But staubach never beat the Steelers in the Superbowl. The steel curtain. Nobody mentions Terry Bradshaw? How many rings 3 or 4
Plus Fran Tarkington from the Vikings even though he never won the super bowl he's in the hall of Fame.
While in Vietnam, Staubach contacted the Cowboys, and he asked them to send him another crate of footballs so he could practice. They said, we just sent you a crate, what happened to them? His answer? They got hit with a mortar. After Roger left football, I was a college senior Army ROTC cadet and met him up near Horseshoe Bay in Texas on a little country road. We both were out early in the pre-dawn running. At a road juncture, his route took him left and I went right. We conversed for a good 15 minutes. One funny guy and such a REAL human being. He shook my hand and wished me luck and said always remember your oath. As a Texan and Cowboys fan, of course he gets my vote for #1.
0-2 against Terry Bradshaw in the ultimate test of a QB. Bradshaw had to play against the Oilers, and Staubach had no one tough in their division in the 70's, Giants, Redskins, Eagles weren't great until the 80's. Terry Bradshaw is far and above the best

I wasn’t a Colt fan but Love Me some Burt Jones. One of The most underrated QB’s in NFL History.
Roger The Dodger Staubach was The 1970’s,he made The Dallas Cowboys GLAMOROUS and the most exciting team especially from 1975 to 1979 of ANY era and really why they’re so popular today.
MrNategee67 - quite a few people do not know, after graduating college at navy, he served four years in the navy; spent some time in vietnam. he retired at the top of his game, due to concussions, after the 1979 season (the highest quarterback rating in history, up to that point)...
MrNategee67 The Cowbows most popular today? Steeler games have better ratings. We also travel better than others, and consistently fill up other team's stadiums with our fans. How fun and wacky is it to see terrible towels, waving in 2 thirds of the seats in Arizona? Bars in towns with no teams, have half the bar on Sundays for the Steelers, the other half for the rest of the league games. You can have your glamour. We'll take Steeler Nation.
@@algini12 cowboys are clealry the most popular team. The Steelers having higher rates games is a lie. The Cowboys are constantly in primetime, #1 in ratings, merchandise and these sports channels cant stop talking about em no matter how good or bad they are.
@@robgbaby all those fans waving terrible towels in other teams's stadiums in no lie. Even a thousand miles away. It's a visual fact. Half the sports bars Steelers, other half other teams, even in states that have their own teams. And you're wrong on the ratings. We rank higher.
algini12 lol no you don’t. Dallas rates higher. And it’s not even close.
Seeing that bomb from Kenny Stabler to Dave Casper, which was known as ghost to the post, literally gave me chills
I remember watching Jim Hart in what was probably his last year coming back from a serious leg injury. You could see on the television set that one leg was noticeably skinnier than the other leg! It was pretty crazy that he was out there playing like that but he was getting it done.
Jim was phenomenal. The fact that he accomplished all he did as a Cardinal is impressive. His longevity is also a testament to his fortitude. It's a shame he's not a hofer. His name is often overshadowed by other great qbs like Bradshaw and Staubach who were able to lead their teams to the promised land
Ok. I'm a dolphins fan and I'm with the "what?!?!" Guy putting griese ahead of stabler. Hell it was Earl morral that QB the fins to perfect season
Fins up! 💪🐬💯
Morrall was the starting quarterback for 11 of the Dolphins 17 wins.
Eddie you are a rare honest Dolphins fan.
It’s kinda hard to QB with a broken leg but he came in at the final game and brought them back from being behind and won the game called his own plays and was the smartest Q B of the time came back in 73 and only lost 3 games
Grieve started in the super bowl
When measuring Roger Staubach, you have to understand the era and the Dallas Cowboys. While they had talent, they were perennially losing the big game. Staubach changed that. He made Dallas winners. To change a losing history to one of being a winner is one of the hardest things to do in professional sports, and he deserves number 1.
Strongly agreed!!
I disagree - I think he's a system quarterback - couldn't make a move by himself without Landry commanding him nor him going to Landry before making a move!
Cowboys won their first super bowl with Craig Morton at QB.
Here's my thing.....The Cowboys with Roger were good but remember they lost a 3 superbowls in the 70s one by way of the Colts and 2 by the Steelers....Roger had great comeback games but lost alot of NFC games....the Steelers won 4 chips in 6 years today if they did that Bradshaw would be considered the greatest...remember also the dolphins were dominate the Raiders were dominate Vikings were dominate in the 70s all who there qbs are on this list i woulda put Bradshaw #1 Roger #2 Stabler #3.......its like they never mention Art Monk as a great receiver but he has 3 Super bowls, probowls and owned all the receiver records during the era of Jerry Rice....Jerry is considered the 🐐 rightfully so but its not many other receivers who had the numbers and played as good as Monk besides Rice....Bradshaw aint the greatest but that 70s era he won 4 rings you cant argue with that
I hate the Cowboys, but Roger The Dodger (or, as my friend liked to call him “Gay-jer the Major”) is NOTHING LIKE a “system QB”, Montana was more of a SQB than Staubach ever was - no, I’m NOT calling Montana a SQB - but Staubach was more like the great Fran Tarkentin than people seem to want to admit, except Staubach never got the rep of never winning the big game...too many of Staubach great plays came on broken plays, off-schedule throws, scrambles, dodging sacks...for him to be considered a SQB.
The thing nobody talks about is how so many QBs in the 70s called their own plays. (And Griese was the best at it.)
Staubach never did. LoL Tom Landry's system forbade it.
@@DepressionShaman People always said how dumb Bradshaw was and how smart Staubach was...but TB called his own plays to beat RS both times they met.
@@jmgarcia61 Terry Bradshaw wasn't dumb, but he was no genius either. His stats left much to be desired and if Jackie Smith hadn't dropped a touchdown pass in Super Bowl XXIII, Roger would have at least three rings. The reason why Roger never called his own plays is because Tom Landry created Dallas' whole offense and defense from scratch and felt he knew which plays to run in any given situation. Terry Bradshaw called his own plays in large part because he and Chuck Knoll didn't have the greatest working relationship and didn't want to create a sideline distraction. Put Roger on that team and they have five rings in the seventies easy. Put Bradshaw on the Cowboys and I doubt we'd have even one. Bradshaw wasn't anything special bro. Tell me of any QB from 4-10 that couldn't win on those Steeler teams.
@@DepressionShaman Not saying anything one way or another about TB as a QB, just that the knock on him for being dumb was incorrect.

19:55 every QB threw a lot of interceptions before the Mel Blount rule because receivers could be run straight into the ground as soon as the play starts.
Burt Jones is a heartbreaking case - not only because of his injuries but because of the affect it had on football in Baltimore. If he stayed healthy, maybe the Colts keep winning, the city can justify building a new stadium for the team, and maybe the stay in Baltimore.

You're welcome.
If you think about Bert Jone and Andrew Luck both had a similar career. Both replacing legends and both leaving the game early due to injuries.
And both were sons of pro players.
Thinking outside of the box, nice job there because not many would compare Jones and Luck's careers.
Roger Studach should get the nickname Captain America because he was in the Navy.
Pretty good list. I'd change some of these rankings around but the correct players are on that list.
What would be your rankings, you have me interested so let's hear how you'd rank these QB's.
Favorite story about Staubach: During his four years active duty with the Navy, he took his 30 days of leave every year so he could attend Cowboys training camp. That means he did not get to have any extended time with his family, and was physically worn out going back to his unit in combat. Who else on this list can claim any comparison to grit and commitment?
The Baltimore Colts, led by Bert Jones at Quarterback, from 1975 (10-4), 1976 (11-3), and 1977 (10-4), were one of the best teams in the AFC. They had 2 obstacles(2 major problems)in their way: The Black n Gold and the Silver n Black. In 3 consecutive playoff games, Baltimore lost to Pittsburgh 28-10 in 1975, 40-14 in 1976, and in 1977 lost in double overtime to the Raiders 37-31 in a game they should've won.
Love that you described the 77 game instead of just saying “Also, Ghost to the Post” 🤣

I think it's still on You Tube. Bert Jones vs the Patriots in 76 or 77. He rolls to his left, so he is on one side of the field. He sees Shake n Bake Glen Dougherty, on the other side of the field, and throws a 50 yard bullet right to Dougherty! One of the greatest passes I've ever seen! Half the QB's in NFL today can't make that throw!! In 89 or 90, Bert Jones was in a QB Challenge. He was about 38, retired for about 6-7 years. He finished 1st in the retired players and 3rd overall. He also finished first in longest throw, 75 yards!!!
Bert Jones had about 3 great years before getting injured. At the pace he was setting he would have gone down as one of the greatest QBs of all time and be in the HOF...if not for the injury!
@@chucklynch6523 Bert was injuried in 78 and 79. When he was healthy in 1980 and 81, he threw for more yards in both of those years than he did in his 76 MVP year. In 82 he was traded to the LA Rams, but suffered the career ending neck injury. The reason for the more passing yards, were the rule changes in 78.
Terry was so damn much fun to watch with those Popeye Arms and he looked like a Lineman that could throw the ball. They beat on him unmercifully at first and then he opened a fresh can of whoop ass and showed them what a tough Louisiana Boy could do to ya~!! Country boys can survive~!!!
Underrated one could be John Brodie. He brought a terrible 49’ers team to playoff relevancy. I’ll be good if Tarkenton or Staubach is #1 Let’s go Saints and Archie! If he was on a better team, he’d be one of the best ever.
More 1960's
Agree on Brodie. He was another one on my list. Jim Plunkett gets no mention. He really struggled in the 70's and had perhaps the greatest comeback season of all time when he won the super bowl with the Raiders in early 80's. Leadership was a bigger part of being a QB in that era. The passing game wasn't as complicated as it has been the past 30 years, and the QB was NOWHERE NEAR as "protected" back then. I can't even imagine some of the concussions these guys endured. Still, no Namath or even a MENTION of Dawson? Come on.
@Harry Engel He was also injured, but he was a great passer. More importantly, he dragged the old AFL out of the back seat of the powerful NFL and "guaranteed" a win against a team heavily favored to destroy them, and followed through. Won the big game, too--and they talk about "70's flash," my goodness, NOBODY had the "look" and lifestyle more than Broadway Joe. From the stache' to the hair to the clothes to the late night parties. They mentioned him with the Rams but his career was long over by then. No knees, and he was a running QB beforehand. And, seriously, Jim Hart in front of Joe Namath? Come on.
I agree John! Anderson was the passing champ 3 of his 4 times in the 1970's he should be in the top 5 & the NFL Hall of Fame.

Should have been part of the NFL100. Fran playing 18 seasons with defenders literally trying "to kill him" is more remarkable than Brady and Brees
Tarkenton was far better than Roger Roger has a higher winning percentage but they neglect to tell you he didn't start in two of the 10 years of the 70's.
Tarkenton also played two years of the 70's with a horrible New York Giants team.
Fran was a winner plain and simple. You had to beat him he never beat himself
@@aracelyemmett3493 Also: If not for the 'Hail Mary' game, the Vikings would have been in four consecutive Super Bowls. I've always felt the Vikings would have avenged the Steelers in SB X if they had not been robbed in the playoff against the Cowboys. Fran's father passed away on that day, and I believe that would have gave him the inspiration to whip Pittsburgh's ass. And I don't think the Vikes would have had any trouble with the Rams in the NFC Championship game.
My list would be: 1. Bradshaw (he beat Staubach twice in Quarterback duals in Super Bowl X & XIII and Tarkenton) 2. Tarkenton 3. Staubach 4. Stabler 5. Griese 6. Ken Anderson 7. Kilmer 8. Hart 9. Bert Jones 10. Dan Fouts (his best years were in the 80’s) Honorable mention would be Archie Manning
1. Bradshaw 2. Staubach 3. Stabler 4. Tarkenton 5. Ken Anderson 6. Bert Jones 7. Joe Ferguson 8. Brian Sipe 9. Bob Griese 10.Archie Manning
Stabler should be a lot higher
"You don't have Griese-what...What...WHAT........4!" I love that. xD
Best era in football in my opinion
Yes QBs earned anything they got.
Here's how tough it was in the 70's - Steve Bartkowski quarterbacked the Falcons to their first playoff berth in 1978 (and twice more in the 80s), was the best QB in team history until Matt Ryan, and not a single comment about him. He wasn't top 11, but like Manning, he was on a poor team and had a worse injury history.
I saw Bert Jones at LSU- still cannot believe the Saints traded the #1 pick to the Colts for lineman Billy Newsome! What a gift to the Colts! If only he could have stayed healthy...
Man, the Saints made so damn many dumb decisions back then, it was laughable. I'm a lifelong Saints fan from New Orleans, remember those Aints years all too well 😊
Kenny's too low.
Both of them
Stabler was just a crafty SOB...loved Bert Jones too
Can’t argue with this list.
Ken stabler was a savage
Hector Rodriguez can you get drunk and throw 3 touchdowns against Steelers
Billy Kilmer started out as a Half-back Runner in the early 60's. His transition of competent QB was remarkable. This is a guy who was taking hand offs 100 times per season and rushing for 500 yards. and they wonder how he was so tough....hahahahahaha!!!!
'79 - Bradshaw '78 - Staubach '77 - Stabler '76 - Bradshaw '75 - Bradshaw '74 - Griese '73 - Griese '72 - Staubach '71 - Unitas '70 - Dawson
Len Dawson was at his best in the 60s
Unitas was knocked out of the game. Earl Morral finished the game. Bob Griese was injured early in 72' and missed most of the season. Super Bowls are a team accomplishment. Good quarterbacks are necessary, but then again so is every other position on the team.
Look at who was ‘74 MVP. Griese? Um, no. Stabler. Very consistently excellent throughout the 74-77 time period, just the very best.
Who cares what happened in one fucking game. This is about the decade Shane. Playing on a winning team doesn't hold water here. Well I take that back. Putting Greise and Bradshaw ahead of Ken Stabler makes this list a joke. Anyone who saw them play knew Stabler should've been second or third ahead of both of them on this list. Wasn't even close.
Incorrect Bradshaw was League MVP in '78 buddy!!!!
Roger Staubach was the starter for the Cowboys for basically 8 years. He led the league in passer rating 4 times. He was second in another season. He went to four Super Bowls. He won 2. Stretched over Tom Brady's length of service, the numbers are remarkably similar. Staubach is arguably the best quarterback ever.
Except he could never beat that Steel Curtain. 😎
Your bringing all of this way out of context.
Troy Aikman beat the steelers.
Arguably? Only if you’re high as a koot.
@@zippitydoodads9947 he did 27- 17 dumb shit
Fouts did have that one great season in 1979 but his best years were 80, 81,82. I would make him a 1980's QB
Kenny Anderson the most underrated QB in the history of the game
Along with Fran Tarkenton you are right. Ken is an easy pick for the Hall of Fame. Look for my book coming out in about a year. I think the name will be "the REAL GOAT scoring system", or something very similar. Ken has the 15th best score among all quarterbacks since 1947 and scores higher than 13 current Hall of Famers.Tarkenton held all the passing records longer than anyone in history and only Sammy Baugh was close. Not to mention the rushing record for quarterbacks. It took him 3 tries to get inducted.
Bert Jones was my favorite player when I was a kid.
At the end of 1979 season, Terry Bradshaw had completed 51.6% of his passes for 19,918 yards in his 1st 10 seasons. He threw 147 TD passes in his 1st 10 seasons. Bradshaw threw 163 interceptions in his 1st 10 seasons. He did well, stats-wise in 1978 and '79 seasons.
These clowns that want to slag on Griese should watch some of his games after Csonka, Kiick, Morris and Warfield were gone.
Snake is about 6 spots too low
He should be -6?
It’s a crime that bradshaws not number 1, 4 trips to the Super Bowl for 4 wins, 2 Super Bowl MVP, NFL MVP IN 78, 8 AFC central championships and he starred in movies alongside Burt reynolds.
36:30 - What song is in the background?? Some crazy guitar riffs..
Ken Anderson should actually be a SB champion - which would put him in the HOF without a doubt - if Forrest Gregg hadn’t had Ice-Bowl flashbacks he’d have let Anderson throw the ball at least ONCE from inside the 5-yd line. SBXVI was decided on that goal line stand by SF. I admire Joe Montana as much as anyone, and his SB stats are unimpeachable (11 TD passes, 0 INTs across 4 SB appearances), but he really should be 3-1 in SBs.
I like Tarkenton at number two despite some bad showings in the big show. I think Stabler is right behind him. I'll not argue your number one because I'm afraid I ain't got one. Bradshaw was on a talent loaded team but he was a late comer that was counted among them. For me it's a toss up for third. Being a fan of the Oakland Raiders I get to bump Bradshaw to 4th. It's admittedly a tough pick for me to decide so that's how I done it. Bob Griese at #5.
My first game I ever went was around '72. It was Pitt at Army. I got to see Tony Dorsett before he became what he was. The program pictures of the players you saw all the beards and long hair and big afros on the Pitt players. The army players just had buzz cuts. Pitt buzzed the rest of them into the ground.... not much of a game but my first.
@10:36 I got the chills ! My youth 🌈 also brought a tear to my 57 year old eyes 👀
Yeah that top five was really hard to rank. You could have the snake at 2 or bob greise at 2 or terry bradshaw at 1 or Fran at 2 or 3. Really hard to rank but fun list.
My top 5: 1) Roger Staubach 2) Kenny Stabler 3) Ken Anderson 4) Fran Tarkington 5)Terry Bradshaw [may not have had the stats, but the Super Bowls ARE relevant when you have that many.]
Gotta remember, qbs were still calling a lot of their own plays. So a guy like Griese should get credit for that.
I don't agree with this list and order but it's great to go thru memory lane... My childhood hero? Bert Jones!
7:48 the way that guy says he could throw it through a wall was like a napoleon dynamite scene.
I would put Staubach at #2 behind Bradshaw, who won four Super Bowls (including two over Staubach) and called his own plays. (Full disclosure: I'm from western PA.) There are some other questionable choices as well--I mean, Billy Kilmer?--but still a much better list than the '80s version, because it was a much better crop of QBs. I was born in 1963, so I remember all these guys very well.
Look at Bradshaw's statline from the whole decade. It's pedestrian for a guy with a 14-2 playoff record. Staubach meant more to the Cowboys than Bradshaw did to the Steelers. Guy was surrounded by Hall of Famers in his receiving corp, offensive line, defensive line, linebackers and defensive backs. Terry had a much higher margin for error than Staubach did. Now to be clear Staubach played with 4 HOFers himself and it's not like the Super Bowls don't mean anything, but c'mon man. Staubach had the highest QB rating of any QB of the decade, as well as forth quarter comebacks.
Nuh where not talking about most Superbowl wins, where talking about best QB of the 70's Rodger was better then Bradshaw in every passing category ,yes Bradshaw had 4 super bowl s but look at the team he was in ,proply one of the greatest teams to play on a field how many HOF in that offense . You put any average QB and they would win,. Staubach should be number1
@@davidrocha5480 Saying any QB could have won those 4 Pittsburgh Super Bowls really shows your profound football ignorance.
@@DepressionShaman Bradshaw #1, Staubach #2, no matter how much you want to genuflect on hearing his name.
@@67marlins81 thank you my friend, that's a fact jack
Back then it was, in the words of Al Davis, “just win Baby”.
Al Davis was a criminal. His only redeeming quality was he handed his gangster owners their asses in court on a regular basis.
Ol Archie didn't get a superbowl ring but he's proud of Peyton and Eli.Now if his grandson is good in college and gets drafted by the NFL that will be one hell of a legacy.
The amazing thing about his sons were that he never pushed them into sports, they played because they loved it. I'm sure it didn't hurt to grow up around pro football and want to be a part of that. Quite a remarkable family.
Bob Griese is still the QB on the ONLY team that had an undefeated team.
Bradshaw had the steelers defense. Period. Hell, Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl with a great defense. Staubach was 30 years old when he finally was given the starting qb spot from Tom Landry. Most qb's begin declining at that age. Roger played 8 seasons as the starter. 4 Superbowl appearances, 2 World Championships in 8 years starting at 30 years old. Oh, and he also won the Heisman Trophy while at Navy. Simply put, Staubach was not only the best qb of the 70's, but one of the best all time!
Staubach didnt play professionally til he was around 28 because of his service in the Navy that he had to complete first.
Staubach spent 4 plus years in the navy as an officer having graduated from the US Naval Academy. Prior to going into the NFL.
Bradshaw outplayed Staubach in the last Superbowl they were in
@@rustyshackleford7282 I believe Staubach was going against a slightly better defense than Bradshaw. The entire game turned when Staubach hit a wide open Jackie Smith in the endzone and he couldn't make the catch. I remember watching that Superbowl with my father. One the greatest Superbowls ever. Hall of Famers on both teams flying all over the field. I believe the '70s was the pinnacle of true competition for the NFL.
@@l.l.c. THE DOOMSDAY DEFENCE WAS SPECIAL BRADSHAW SHOULD BE AHEAD OF STAUBACH I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ALL THAT OTHER NONSENSE TERRY FUCKIN HANRATTY WASN'T WINNING 4 SBS STAUBACH HAS HOFERS TOO & HIS WINS CAME AGAINST 2 FIRST TIME OPPONENTS COMPLETELY OVER THEIR HEADS DEN/MIAMI & CRAIG MORTON LEAD THE BOYS TO A SB & IF NOT FOR A GOAL LINE FUMBLE [DUANE THOMAS] THE BOYS WOULD'VE WON THE GAME!!
Steve Grogan needs to be on this list. I mean come on, he was on some bad Patriots years and he was a dual-threat quarterback and he was the guy who got them in there first success in the mid 70s . I mean if they put Archie Manning in there and never went to playoffs with the Saints but Steve Grogan did with the Patriots.
Young Grogan was as good as a running QB as there was in the history of the NFL
@Randall Denison Young Steve Grogan was as good as any QB to know when to take off from the pocket and run. Montana and McNair also had that knack of knowing
I agree. As a devout Raider fan, I was always terrified of Steve Grogan, Stanley Morgan and Daryl Stingley. The Pats were right up there for a number of years, but the Raiders and Steelers were always just a little bit better. And the Colts were really tough too. So were Sipe and the Kardiac Kids in the late-70s.
U exactly right grogan was a beast
Ken Stabler was 2-0 in games he started against Archie Manning in the 70s- - - Ken Stabler was 4-1 in games he started against Ken Anderson in the 70s- - -Ken Stabler was 3-0 against Bert Jones in the 70’s- - -Ken Stabler was 1-0 against Billy Kilmer in the 70’s- - - Ken Stabler was 1-0 against games he started against Jim Hart in the 70’s- - Ken Stabler was 3-2 against Bob Griese in games he started in the 70’s- - - Ken Stabler was 5-4 against Terry Bradshaw in games he started in the 70’s- -Ken Stabler was 2-0 against Fran Tarkenton in games he started in the 70’s(including the worst demolishing of any team in the history of the Super Bowl the Vikings didn’t even belong on the same field as the Raiders) - - Ken Stabler was 1-0 in games he started against Roger Staubach in the 70’s - - - - That’s 9 for 9 against the other QB ‘a #5 WHAT A JOKE. Only Bradshaw and Staubach come close to Stabler
The only quarterback in the top ten quarterback’s of the 70’s that Ken Stabler didn’t have a winning record against was Ken Stabler
Yeah but Stabler was also 1-4 in the AFC Championship games and only got to one super bowl, while Bradshaw was 4-2 in the AFC championship game and 4-0 in the super bowl. I know Stabler was great, but he was not ahead of Bradshaw or Staubach. And I don't care about stats, but for all the people that give Bradshaw a bad image for his stats, he had a better TD-INT ratio than Stabler and didn't inherit a good team like Stabler did, the Steelers weren't playoff caliber when Bradshaw was drafted.
I knew somebody was going to write what you did it just happened to be you and your actually right Bradshaw was the best quarterback of the seventies due to the four Super Bowls however Stabler was better all 3 quarterbacks Stabler Bradshaw and Staubach had great teams surrounding them and Griese did too but the Steelers had the best defense of the four and this may sound like sour grapes but it happens to be the truth THE OAKLAND RAIDERS got fucked by the referees and Pete Rozelle time and time again especially in playoff games they were fucked by the referees in 1972 and maybe God they were fucked in 1974 when they were up 10-3 in the fourth quarter against the Steelers again in the 4th quarter when Cliff Branch scored another touchdown to make it 17-3 but referees called a never called TRIPPING penalty against JIm Otto nullifying the touchdown the weather fucked them in 1975 ice bowl game in Pittsburgh when both the Raiders and the Steelers had their best teams absolutely great football game the best ever the 2 greatest and meanest football teams of all time with about 20 hall of fame players on a sheet of ice and they were fucked by the referees in 1977 Ron Lytle non fumble ha ha the ball went flying 30 yards after Tatum hit him it was the whole nfl. Rozelle and referees against the Oakland Raiders and Al Davis they called offensive holding on the Oakland Raiders line anytime they needed to and still the Oakland Raiders had the highest winning percentage of all time for a 5 year span 1973-1977
@@alanwise2996 that’s a lot of conspiracy, but it’s typical for an Oakland Raiders fan. The Steelers had a touchdown incorrectly taken away from them in the 74’ AFC championship game by those same refs before the half on a one handed touchdown by Stallworth, the game should’ve been 31-13 in favor of Pittsburgh. In 75’, sure the weather was bad, but Pittsburgh knew how to overcome the elements. Oakland fans like to say how Pittsburgh froze the field on purpose, and that’s fine and all, but Oakland use to do the same thing by flooding and muddying the middle of their home field when a run heavy team would come to town. And Oakland fans also like to say that Biletnikoff and Willie Brown (2 hall of famers) didn’t play in the 75’ AFC championship game, in which I’ll respond by saying that Joe Greene and Lynn Swann (2 hall of famers) also got hurt and missed considerable time in that 75’ AFC championship game. And how about that BS sugar bear Hamilton penalty in the 76’ divisional round that Oakland lucked out on? Just stop with the “referees fucked Oakland out of super bowl opportunities” excuses, Pittsburgh and other teams had calls go against them as well, but Oakland fans never bring that up because unlike Pittsburgh, the Raiders couldn’t overcome mistakes or bad calls. That’s why Pittsburgh was better than Oakland and won 3 more Super Bowls than they did in the 70s.
For being fairly intelligent you missed the whole point of my comment about the referees dumbass sure every team has calls that go against them but it’s WHEN they go against them 1972 Franco ha ha and ho 1974 Raiders go up 17-3in fourth quarter game over Since you brought up 1975 I seem to recall raiders put out Green and Swann Biletnikoff and Brown out BEFORE The game also Biletnikoff on ice no big deal but Willie Brown? The Steelers made 2 Whole offensive plays in that game 2 and both were against Neal Colzie As for 1976 Raiders Patriots game worst refereed game of all time the raiders were called for seven defensive penalties against New England on third or fourth down giving the Patriots a first down after they had been stopped and would have to punt count em 7 an all time record that’s like Seven turnovers and only the Oakland Raiders could have overcome that and next week totally demolish The great Pittsburgh Steelers so bad 24-7 that Stabler didn’t play one down in the Fourth quarter Mike Rae ? Did and finally I’m not saying the Raiders were better than the Steelers in the 70s I’m saying Stabler was better than Bradshaw Bradshaw so pathetic in 1974 he was benched and third string behind Terry Hanraty who uttererly sucked and Even worse Jefferson street Joe Gilliam. The only mistake the Raiders did was Stabler going into to 3 rivers stadium in 1974 and shutting out the big bad Steelers at home so bad they put Bradshaw back in It was the Steelers defense that carried the Steelers dumbass
When Deacon Jones and Merlon Olsen talk crap about you, you must be pretty good.
Fran is very underrated. He should've been in the NFL100. He played 18 seasons during a time when they literally tried "To Kill You"
I hate the Vikings, but Fran was the greatest of his time..he's top 10 all time
