When it comes to the all-time quarterbacks, who is the winner?

Subject of the article was a little misleading. What he's actually ranking is the team with the top Top 5 QBs.

I found the rankings very subjective with little provided to back up the rankings. Little disagreement with the Packers top 4, but not sure about Majic as #5--I personally liked him, but not sure he was the 5th best in Packers history. However, I can't quibble with the overall results, so Dave Dameshek must have done something right...lol...

by Dave Dameshek

Every football fan knows that Penn State is Linebacker U. and that USC is Tailback U. So why don't we know definitively which NFL franchise has had the most success at a given position? (That was a rhetorical question. I don't know the answer.) Here's what I do know, though: We need to fix this right now.

We'll start with quarterback. And, since this is the NFL, we'll use the NFL's current playoff structure for our pseudo-tournament. I've listed the guys I think rank as the five best at the position for each franchise, then ranked which team's quintet "wins" their division. Just like the NFL Playoffs, I've also selected two wild cards.
