Quote:I noticed something while watching the NFL Network the other day when they had a program up about the Bill Walsh coaching tree. Now the subject of this thread isn't that line of coaches but rather the teams that have been blessed with good to great QB talent throughout their history. I compiled a list with a few rules:

1. There has to be more than just two good QBs, but two great ones might get you on the list.
   
2. You get points for Super Bowl appearance, but only so much.
   
3. Longevity counts because the longer a good QB plays, the more chances he gives his team.
   

After compiling the list, I found it curious that only eleven teams in the League were "lucky" enough to be considered blessed with a lot of QB talent. That's just a third of the total teams!

 

Given that, consider the following list that is arranged alphabetically (I listed some of the "good" QBs and annotated them with a (?) as an "honorable mention" type of thing):

 


 

San Francisco - Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jeff Garcia (?) -For me, Joe Montana was the best QB I've ever seen play. He was sneaky athletic, had a good enough arm, and understood the Offense he was running to a point where you were playing Checkers and he was playing Chess. Steve Young was athletic as you could get but once he started winning games with his arm, he really took off.

 



Have any of your own to add? Want some taken off? Whaddaya got?

 

 

 

   The 49ers also had at least two other QBs that add major value to their franchise QB history.   Y.A. Tittle and John Brodie never won NFL Championships.  However,   both contributed to the 49ers making the playoffs and were very productive.     The 49ers have been blessed at the QB position over the decades.
