Really hard to leave Dobbs off this list. He has way more statistical output than a lot of QBs mentioned and on way worse teams with terrible coaching..
5th in yards, 5th in passing TDs, 3rd all time total offensive yards, 2nd all time total touchdowns, tied with Peyton for most TDs in a season responsible for.. I love the legends as much as the next guy but Tony isn't top 10 in any statistical category or even threw for 2k yards in a season lol
Same with Streater.. anything he did Dobbs did exponentially better.
100% agree. These QBs had that X Factor that you can’t coach or show in statistics. Actually, Manning probably had the least of that factor because he really didn’t need it.I actually think this is easy:
Manning, Robinson, Shuler, Holloway.
There’s a gap after that to a group of Kelly, Clausen, Donna, Ainge, and Bray (in no order).
If you saw Tony play, you know he’s one of the greats. I think an argument could be made that he was the 2nd greatest as a college QB. His career was cut short by injury, but he was a Heisman front runner (perhaps THE Heisman front runner) when he went down. He had an incredible arm, was extremely accurate on all types of throws and had a natural feel for the position you just don’t see often.
It was also a much different offensive era when QBs didn’t put up the stats they did just 10 years later.
