It's the 4th round and Brady is up against Montana. Who will win?

Hard to tell.


I still can't wrap my head around the voting for the "Millenials Bracket".


Picking Bledsoe over both Aikmen and Young and Gannon over Farve.

How the heck did Bledsoe.... LOL. That's where it lost it's credibility.  The rest of the bracket seems right. But if we're talking about just straight up quarterbackin skills (arm strength, quick release, mobility, accuracy, etc.) without the rings and longetivity, it's Rodgers/Marino finals.

The poll is a joke.  Donovan McNabb in the Final Four? 

Montana, Unitas, and Brady all belong there (at least arguably), but some of the "upsets" in the various brackets are ridiculous.

I would have a hard time putting either of those guys over pre-injury Manning.  Skills-wise, he's pretty much the prototypical pocket QB.

I honestly forgot all about Manning.

You're right though. POST-injury Manning is still a force. But yeah. Manning is a lock. Toss up between Rodgers/Marino for runner-up though.

Yeah as soon as saw that McNabb was not only in the final four but winning his match at a 70% to 20+% margin I immediately x'ed out of the page.

hahaha. This is what you get with internet polls. Whoever came up with this must be sad that they have to see it through after logging back on to find that Russell Wilson beat Peyton Manning, Rich Gannon beat Brett Favre, Donovan McNabb beat Kurt Warner...

Young should have won that bracket

I think so, as well.  Aikman and Favre are probably a bit underrated by fans, but if I needed one QB from that era to win a game, I'd go with Young.

No, they are probably excited because it "creates controversy" and generates traffic. That's all they really want.

Can't say I'm terribly surprised.

Anybody who saw Unitas in his prime is either dead or, most likely, computer illiterate.
