100 Greatest QBs of the Modern Era
One man's (quasi-)statistical take on the 100 greatest QBs of the modern era:

Some pretty interesting names pop up in the top ten, especially the wholly underappreciated Kenny Anderson.

In general seems pretty decent but some thing's are just glaringly bad to me. Otto Graham as the #3 QB of the 50s? Yes I know he only played 6 seasons of that decade, but in that time he led his team to 3 Titles, 6 Finals and had 5 All-NFLs.
Glad to see Cunningham gets some love. It's stunning to me that a player can win 3 MVPs in a sport where even the best of players can get their career ended abruptly by injury, and get dismissed by people in discussions of the greats.

Why do I keep getting the feeling that this guy didn't totally account for era differences.
I'm looking at some of the adjusted stats, and some of the top passers of the early 70s and before, seem to be underrated by a lot. (They seem to top off at around 3000 Yards passing, while some of the more recent top passers top off at around 4000 yards...)
Now I don't know whether this is supposed to happen... but it just doesn't look right for some reason...

I agree in general, obviously, I believe Elway is the best ever. But, definatly debatable. Brady being that low is ludacris. When he sets the touchdown record this year, I wonder how this list would be adjusted.
Overall though, solid and reasonable. Obviously its debatable, but dude put alot of time into I think.

Tarkenton at 3 and Anderson at 7? You know this list is messed up when those 2 are ranked that high.

Tarkenton should be top 10 at least. It needs updated, manning is top 3 by now im sure, maybe number 1.

Tarkenton is probably top 10 and Anderson top 20 so it isnt really that bad
