With the Brady/Manning debate raging again, I did a little research into the contenders for all-time great. Manning has a strong case for the top spot but the 14-13 playoff record is an issue. I put it between he, Unitas, and Graham, who we can't really evaluate. Elway supporters are delusional at best. I want to mention Steve Young. He only started in the NFL for 8 years and he totally dominated. Hall of famer but still undervalued.

I like it. Teams tend to influence playoff percentages.
