Donovan McNabb
Warren Moon
Randall Cunningham
Steve McNair

I'm on the fence........

Doug Williams

Doug Williams had what, a 2 year run? Come on bro, just because he laid the smack down on the Broncos you gotta back up that choice.....

He took Tampa Bay to the NFC championship game in '79,and he was the mvp of super bowl XXII.The guy maybe didn't have all of the fancy stats of a Warren Moon,but he was a great athlete and team leader,as well as a class act.Just having to deal with the pressure of being the first black qb to start a super bowl makes him the greatest,he opened alot of doors by winning that game.

I'm partial to Randall Cunningham.

Vick

Yeah, I completely forgot about Marcus Vick.

Wasn't the category "Greatest Quarterback"?Not "dog fighting,tax evading felon"

Wrong thread... :-[

Yes the question was about his QB skills, not who do I like most.  OJ is still a great RB. 

  Warren Moon.

Sorry,but I must disagree.Mike Vick could run fast....period.His "quarterback skills" were non existent.But yes,Orenthal was a great running back.One of the best ever.

Could you imagine what the Dolphins could have done with the wildcat, if their QB was Vick instead of Penny.  No offense to Penny.   But when Vick lined up as WR or TE he could have actually been a receiving threat or been used on a run block

Agreed.I always thought he woulda been a better wr or rb,sort of like a Hines Ward,guy was scary quick.

Offhand, I think McNabb has had the most sustained success.

I think Cunningham had the most pure talent and Moon had the best intangibles.

I'm giving it to Doug Williams as well.  He stuck around the NFL for a long time and was tough as nails. 

Isn't he the coach at Grambling now?

I say Warren Moon.  He can actually be called one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time without the word "black".  :P

Warren Moon as my favorite, but it is hard to discount McNabb. The guy has a nice resume.

Doug Williams, really?

I don't think you can discount Vick.  I can't seem to understand where the grumblings about his QB skills come from, he has (had) a cannon for an arm.

That said, I still think its a really hard choice, but I think its between Moon and Cunningham.  Maybe in 15 years, McNabb deserves to be in the conversation, but I have a hard time judging current talent vs past talent.

Because that is a natural ability and has little to do with a practiced skill which much of the QB position relies on. Do you really think that throwing the ball deep is the only thing that means a QB has skill considering he struggles with every other throw?

I think it is Warren Moon...with a bit of a margin over McNabb and Cunningham. He was extremely good for a very long time, no matter what league he was playing in.

It's a really tough question.

I think I'll go with Cunningham.

I like Moon and then McNabb too but Moon for what he did in the NFL.

Doug Williams did well in the Super Bowl but I believe Timmy Smith was running like he was high on coke that day...maybe he was.  Williams is nowhere close to McNabb's league let alone Moon.

He's only passed for more than 2,500 yards once, and never for more than 3,000 yards.  His completion percentage is only 53%.  His career QB rating is 75.  He's a rusher pretending to be a quarterback.


It was the early 1980s.  You never know...  :P

Warren Moon.  You could put Moon in his prime in any offense, but the others I'm not sure would have faired as will wit the Run and Shoot and actually be able to make it work consistantly like he did.
