30 Best Quarterbacks In NFL History

The quarterback is typically the most important player on the field and the one who does most of the work.

The quarterback is the leader of the offense and is responsible for calling the plays and making sure that the ball gets into the hands of the playmakers on the team. 

Every play of the game is depended on the quarterback’s call. This is why you need a good quarterback in order to play a solid game of football. NFL’s overall gameplay has changed over the years.

Players do not like being involved in harsh physical play like they used to. Nowadays, it is all about making the perfect pass which in comparison to the old days, is more challenging for a quarterback.

They have to make quick defenses, read the defense, adjust the play based on what the defense is doing, and most importantly make the decisive pass that could make or break the game.

Additionally, the quarterback is often called to throw the ball downfield to advance the ball and score points. It is not an easy task to compile the best quarterbacks from a list of numerous legends of the game over the years.

However, with our calculations and analysis, we have come up with who we believe are the 30 best quarterbacks to tie their laces.
