Top QB Franchises - Johnny Cupcakes - 06-16-2015
I thought some of you might find this article interesting. It's a ranking of all 32 franchises based on their historical QB play and lists their 3 best QBs.
Here's where the AFCN fell
30) Baltimore - Joe Flacco, Vinny Testaverde, Trent Dilfer
16) Cincinnati - Ken Anderson, Boomer Esiason, Carson Palmer
10) Cleveland - Otto Graham, Bernie Kosar, Frank Ryan
7) Pittsburgh - Terry Bradshaw, Ben Roethlisberger, Neil O'Donnell
Thoughts?

Surprised at New Englands rating to be honest. Even with Brady I thought they would be farther down the list.

I would put Dallas ahead of the Colts but other than that its a good list. I would put the ravens higher as well considering both differ and Flaco won championships.

Not surprised that the 4 youngest franchises are the bottom 4.
Oh well, Flacco is good enough to set playoff records and win a SB.
On a side note: interesting to see Peyton on there for two different teams. I can't believe it'll be his 4th season in Denver this year. Has any other HOF QB had a career like this? The best on one team for over 10 years and then basically getting cut and moving to a completely different team and still be a top 5 QB?

The only one i can think of that's close to this is Joe Montana, from the 49ers to the Chiefs.

That's a pretty honest ranking to me.

Yea, but even then, he had a noticeable decline. You have to give many props for coming back better than ever and getting to a Super Bowl.
