6. Cook
7. Blake
8. Kitna
9. Carter
10. O'Donnell

Greg Cook is always hard to place in these kinds of things for obvious reasons.

Based instead on raw ability, regardless of era (accounting for all ability, not just arm talent), pretending injuries never happened and that personality doesn't exist or matter:

1. Burrow
2. Cook
3. Palmer
4. Anderson
5. Esiason

Placing Burrow at the top of that list may be controversial, understandably. I think he might turn out to be one of the most accurate passers in league history though.

Going by the bold, I would have Cook at the top...
