The Bears at 26 would make sense if there were only 26 teams in the NFL.

Always a good day when NFL Throwaback uploads a nice long NFL Lore video

Just a little omission regarding the great Warren Moon, he had a stellar career in the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos prior to joining the NFL. I honestly think he might be the overall leader in yards if his first few years would have been spent in the NFL, quite the rifle early in his career.

The QBs of the 70s like Bert Jones, Steve Bartkowski, Steve Grogan, Brian Sipe, Jim Hart, etc. are often forgotten bc of stats, but QBs then had to deal with the lines of Jack Lambert or Deacon Jones trying to cripple them every time they dropped back and DBs attempting straight murder on the WRs. Makes you realize how amazing Roger Staubachs passer ratings were then

I hate that people say that McNair and the Titans were "one yard short" of winning. They were one yard short of overtime.

All, note the upper left corner of the screen that CONTINUOUSLY shows the rank. That is enormously useful to viewers for productive viewing and searching and scanning and reviewing, and thank the channel being a stand out by doing that. If only all channels provided that valuable effort.

You are right on about Kenny Anderson of the Bengals. That was one tuff SoB. Under rated, ignored, even in Cincy. Good man. A damn good man.

You forgot to mention Curly Lambeau for the Packers, too. He played for the Packers for ten seasons as QB/HB.

Need to mention Randall Cunningham with the Vikings. Even though he only played a couple seasons with them, he arguably had the best season of his career in 1998 with 34 TDs

Just glad this video took into account the franchise's entire history, and not just the last 25 years or just the Super Bowl era, like a lot of these lists do.

The Chandler story with Atlanta is pretty cool as a football fan. He bounced around the league, couldn't get comfortable anywhere. Went to the Oilers, started turning his career around. Gets traded because Steve Mcnair they felt was ready to Atlanta, a team that historically was the opposite of "littered with success." Reeves publicly details strengths of Chandler, builds his confidence. Takes them to their first Superbowl in franchise history at 33. To have played for as many teams as he did and then to finally find success is inspiring for future players.

This was a surprisingly objective ranking. Kudos.

For the Cowboys, I’m kinda surprised Don Meredith and Danny White didn’t at least get mentioned

I'm losing sleep to watch this because honestly I was hooked 5 minutes in. NFL history always teaches me something new.

As a cowboys fan, it’s criminal how people look at Romo. Tony Romo was ONLY reason that the cowboys didn’t go 2-14 every year from 2006-2014. He played on some terrible teams and somehow always figured out a way to give us a chance at the end of the season. Best scrambling ability I’ve ever seen.

What a great video. Well done!

As a Ravens fan I'm upset they didn't talk about Steve McNair. His 2 seasons with us were better than Boller's career.

I love how you guys cover not just the most prominent QBs, but the deep cuts for each franchise in their entire history.

Great video! One of the best compilations I’ve ever seen. Could’ve only been better if you included Robert Griffin the third!

Interesting list concepts! This channel is so much fun.

I think Don Meredith deserves a mention in the Dallas Cowboys all-time QB room. No, he didn't win any rings, but he was tough as nails and played a big role in making Dallas relevant before Roger got there.

What about Don Meredith? Even Danny White went to 3 straight NFC title games

As a Panthers fan Jake Delhomme is still my favorite QB we've had. Although we fell just short at the end, that team was so fun to watch.

Awesome video, well worth the hour

The Cowboys' Don Meredith and Danny White were worth a mention.

For being more defensively-focused than the game today, the 70s had so many greats at QB: Staubach, Bradshaw, Fouts, Anderson, Tarkenton, Stabler, Griese, Hart, Dawson, Manning, and even the twilights of Unitas and Jurgenson. Not to say that some of the earlier QBs tearing up the formative years of the NFL in the 50s and 60s weren't standouts in their time as well, but it feels like the 70s coinciding with the growth of the sport at the pro level and a batch of legendary signal callers really was writing the history books as they went.

This channel is so freaking awesome!

Should also be mentioned in the Bart Starr stats that he won 3 straight NFL championships. Green Bay is the only team to ever accomplish this and it's an often ignored fact when talking about Starr's legacy

Otto graham is the ultimate competitor he played one year in the NBA and won the championship

Great video! I really enjoyed this one. Had a few that I felt should’ve been higher than others, but can’t argue.

This is a great video the late 70s 80s and 90s was my favorite era of football takes me back in time seeing some of my favorites on here

Cool ranking video idea. Liked it

Great video! I really enjoyed watching!

Very well produced, written & voiced videos!

Need more of these! ❤

Usually lists are not very good. I think this one nailed it

Takes me back to those great players and teams I loved.

Da Bears should be 32 bruh...

What's crazy about this list to me is how many really great QBs there have been. Once you get to basically the Carolina (#28) level, almost every team has some kind of legendary QB. And even teams lower than that have some noteworthy seasons in the form of brief visits from Hall of Famers.

One thing people forget about the Colts is that they were the team that originally drafted Elway. To think they could've gone from Unitas to Elway (in a decade) to Manning if they moved off of old Elway, and then to Luck.

Gotta mention Favre for the Vikings. Best passing season in franchise history, best Viking QB in most Vikings fans lives.

Wonderful vid! Love seeing the older QBs getting some love/attention. Minny should’ve been higher. Along with the QBs mentioned, they also had Cunningham and Warren Moon as playoff QBs in the 90s

Randall Cunningham is the only player to throw a 90 yard touchdown and kick a 90 yard punt.

As soon as I saw this vid, I got out my QB spread sheet and made my own team-by-team list. Lost track of how many times this list and mine jibed, even down to the #4 or #5 QB. For several, I have to concede, your argument was better. Extraordinarily well done. (though I would've ranked the Bengals higher....in my totally objective, unbiased opinion)

Not gonna lie - as a Saints fan, the Saints are wayyy too high. Archie Manning's legacy largely came from him being the only decent player on the team, not that he was particularly great, and Brees and Brooks doesn't make up for the absolutely ridiculous lineup of clowns. Hell, they didn't even mention Aaron Brooks! Brooks started more seasons for the Saints than Hebert and won the Saints first ever playoff game in 2000. The Bengals are way better overall, and the Saints should be somewhere in the low 20s.

Do an all time defense ranking between all 32 teams. See which ones would have the best depth and 11 starters!!

The Flacco to Jacoby play literally still gives me chills

55:05 Rich Gannon should have the all time consecutive completion record. The pass that broke his streak was called incomplete on the field, but after the replay it was obviously a catch. This was all before challenge flags and whatnot.

The Bills should have been a little higher as Jack Kemp was ignored. Kemp led the Bills to 4 consecutive playoff berths, 3 straight AFL title games, winning two championships. Frank Reich could have been given a shoutout for leading the greatest comback in playoff history. Also, no mention of Tua for the Dolphins, George Blanda with the Raiders, or Don Meredith for the Cowboys.

Oh this is going to be a GOOD one. I'll watch it later and give my opinion.

41:35 shows Trent Green and right after a scene of Joe Montana😂 I had to rewatch I was so confused

You did a very good job with this. You balance the modern players with the old timers very well. However, there are some things I want to mention. Billy Kilmer deserves a mention with the Redskins. George Allen chose Billy over Sonny, which I think is questionable, but he did produce with the Skins, getting to the 1973 Super Bowl. Though I will add that Bobby Layne had some good seasons with Pittsburgh, I think Washington and Pittsburgh should be flipped. Also in terms of order, I think the Giants should be higher. Tommy Thompson was the QB for the Eagles when they were the dominant team in the league, going to the championship game in 1947 before winning it in 1948 and 1949. He led one of the league's top offenses those years and was one of the league's better passers. Joe Kapp wasn't pretty, but he did lead the Vikings to their first Super Bowl appearance. Charley Johnson deserves a mention with the Cardinals, being a part of some of their winning seasons in the 1960s while being one of the league's leading passers. Finally, Andy Herber was technically a tailback and not a quarterback with the Packers. But if it's passers we're comparing, another tailback Cecil Isbell also deserves a mention with the Packers. He was among the top passers in the league and he was a part of the 1939 championship team before WW2 interrupted his NFL career.

this video is going to hit like crack man I’m so excited

Jim Kelly was great as the legend of 4 consecutive AFC champ titles, no super bowl win😅😅

As a Packers fan, you chose some of the most iconic moments to clip (Hail Mary by Rodgers, helmet held up by Favre), so I assume you did so for every other team as well.

Can we take a minute just to appreciate how good Jim Kelly and The Bills were in that 4 years. I mean 4 straight AFC Titles, other QBs in the AFC he would play against, Marino, Moon, Krieg, Esiason, Elway, Kosar, not to mention the NFC QBs he also faced, but damn what an amazing 4 year run.

An honorable mention for Erik Kramer as a Detroit Lion. He is a class act and one of the only players to survive the ‘87 strike.

Good to see guys like Krieg, Sipe, and Gabriel get included as people tend to forget how accomplished they actually were. Anderson, Esiason, Simms, and Bledsoe all need serious consideration for the Hall. Would have liked to see a small shout-out to Earl Morrall, #2 overall pick in '56, 20k passing yds, 3x SB champion, league MVP in '68. Also maybe a quick mention of Joe Kapp. Didn't play long in the NFL, but was known as one of the toughest qbs of his time. His three yrs with the Vikings were productive, leading them to their only league championship in '69...not bad for a dude picked #209 in round 18...yes, 18!

Packers have a ton of great quarterbacks throughout their history. Curly Lambeau is one of the most important football players ever. He invented a large part of football culture, he made the first ever fair catch kick, and even had the first unbeaten season in 1929 (12-0-1). Cecil Isbel was elite in the early days when he played alongside Don Hutson (who for a very long time held the record for receiving TDs). Arnie Herber was also great as mentioned. Bart Starr has some legendary accolades, but it really was overshadowed by the most talented football leader to ever live with Vince Lombardi. Majik was awesome, but he was always crippled by injuries so he never got many accolades. Favre was nicknamed the gunslinger because he could throw a football at interstate speeds and his release was extremely fast. He once broke his receiver’s hand because he threw the ball so hard. And the guy that replaced him, Aaron Rodgers, had even more talent than he did. All of this, and now Jordan Love also looks like a future Hall of Famer.

Great video! I love the work they put into the videos. More sport leagues should draw inspiration from the NFL!

Snubs Jeff Hostetler 15 NYG LAR, Frank Reich 14 BUF CAR, Gary Kubiak 8 DEN, Danny White 11 DAL Dandy Don Maridith 17 DAL, Jim Harbaugh 4 CHI IND, Jim Everett 11 LA RAMS, Rodney Peete 9 DET, Elvis Gerbac 18 SF KC BAL Tony Eason 11 NE, & More

We all kinda knew Green Bay would be at the top, but even then they left out a few good/great QBs. Lynn Dickey, while not a Hall of Famer, led some potent offenses in the 80's. And the oft forgotten man in GB history, Cecil Isbell. Isbell helped lead the team to the Championship in 1939 along with Arnie Herber, and took over when Herber left. He was either a first or second team all pro every season of his career (albeit he only played 5 seasons), broke the passing yards record in both 1941 and 1942, and was the first QB to throw for over 2000 yards in a season. He also led the league in touchdowns both years, and also broke the touchdown record in 1942. He was also part of 1930's All-Decade team. He's a criminally underrated player who would most likely be in the Hall of Fame if he hadn't ended his career early to take a coaching job.

Tarkenton seems the forgotten guy when lists of all time great QBs are written. Even in the 70s Staubach, Bradshaw, Stabler, and Fouts are remembered before Fran. He may have been the best of all those 70s QBs

I Love Watching Your KZfaq Channel NFL Throwback

I hope we get more lists like this with other positions ranked, such as running backs, wide receivers, offensive lines, defensive lines and so forth!

Great list

You done good.

Ryan Fitzmagic padding all these teams stats

Thanks NFL Throwback for the awesome retrospective. The perfect prescription for the offseason. I found time today to watch the entire production from start to finish, and I have to say you folks did a fine job putting this together. The 49ers making #3 is something I can definitely live with when taking into account the entirety of NFL history (although I think we should have edged out the Colts heehaw). We certainly had some studs. Hopefully, Glock13 is the next cornerstone QB for the red and gold. Cheers.

Why remind me of Jay Cutler?!? I was minding my business, having a good day 😅

Good looking. Tampa Bay drafted Steve Young 86 supplemental draft. He just had a cup of tea. 😎

You should have mentioned that when Dave Kreig slipped out of Derrick Thomas's grasp to throw that game winner, he had been sacked by Thomas 7 times that game. Unbelievable for both men!

Bart Starr have the 2nd Highest QBR in PostSeason History at 104.8

Not mentioned, Tony Romo not only exceeded but actually slaughtered Aikman's regular season records. Also while haterz call him a choker he had one of the highest rankings of any QB in history for comebacks; for 4th quarter comebacks; for December record; and retired with the second highest career QB rating in history behind Aaron Rodgers. I didn't mention one of the highest career completion records of any[edit: by percentage]. But the one the haterz must bite it on is that he's one of the top 10 in career game winning percentages as starters. Look it up :)

My middle school campus monitor was Ernest Givins who played for the oilers in the 80s.. I loved hearing stories about the league

Will y’all please make more long videos? I need to listen to something while I’m working

I hope you guys are doing this for all positions!!!!! Will watch them all.

Luck retiring still hurts to this day.

As a Colts, Pacers, and Reds fan, it hurts me the most to think about the Colts during my lifetime. The Pacers have only made the Finals once, but it always felt we were hitting above our weight in the playoffs. Never much hope. The Reds have only won a playoff series (‘95) once since I’ve been alive. Never much hope. The Colts on the other hand gave me so much hope with arguably the two greatest QB prospects ever. All of that for one ring. The Colts might have given me the most hope, but they also have given me the most heartbreak.

The biggest underachievement in NFL history is the fact that From 1992-2022 the Green Bay Packers had Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre as their starting quarterback for every single season and only managed to win 2 Super Bowls. That means that they literally had a Hall of Famer playing the most important position on the football field for their team for every single year for 30 consecutive years and couldn’t even manage to win 1 Super Bowl per decade. meanwhile, the New England Patriots have won 6 Super Bowl trophies in that time, and even the Denver Broncos have taken home 3 Lumbardy‘s since 92. Heck even the ravens And Giants won 2 Super Bowls in that 30 year stretch with way less quarterback talent

Cleveland Browns at 17 is insane 😭😭😭

Kenny Anderson should absolutely be in the Hall.

Why did you skip mentioning Jeff Hostetler for the Giants? He's the original Nick Foles story. I know he didn't have a prolific career but I think winning a Super Bowl as a backup is worth a mention.

Shout out to the men and women that put this together. Hope y'all do most positions like this.

No mention of Jack Kemp for the Bills? Flutie had those 2 magical seasons too

We need a video on this for each position

HOF Warren Moon not mentioned for Houston, Minnesota or Seattle. Hell he makes Edmonton #7 on this list by himself.

If Cincys Greg Cook hadnt had a career ending injury his rookie yr in 69, Cincy might be even higher

Before I watch here are my Top 5 predictions: 1. Packers 2. Cowboys 3. 49ers 4. Colts 5. Steelers

Dolphins deserve to be top 10 just off of Marino career the NFL had to change the rules on offense and defense to make it easier to score and QB's play longer for QB's to catch up with him and pass him on stats

I would have broken this up into a series of vids maybe 5 teams at a time as a countdown. If you keep the vids shorter you are going to draw in a larger pool of viewers...You would also get the repeat views as people would watch them again as a refresher when enough time passes before the next vid. Sitting down to watch the entire thing is a commitment and is only good for one view...That being said this is well done.. good info and entertaining :)

How about Lynn Dickey and Don Majkowski of GB they were great to watch as well.

I knew this was gonna be tough on my bears

Don Strock deserves a mention always there to help when needed he played on both the dolphins when bob greasy and earl morrow where playing as well as mentoring dan marino.

I’m always amazed when the Cowboys quarterbacks are discussed. How do you leave out Don Meredith and Danny White? I know the bar in Dallas is very high for quarterbacks but at the very least they deserve an honorable mention.

Jack Kemp led the Buffalo Bills to 2 straight AFL championships… that was not mentioned

As a younger browns fan, I thought we’d be lower on this list. I know about Otto graham, kosar, and sipe, but I didn’t know they were that successful. Thank you for the vid!! Go brownies

Please do the same for Running Backs next!!

it's stunning to realize at 1 time the steelers had unitas and len dawson at 1 time
