Who's the Greatest Quarterback of All Time? - Part 1

With the upcoming Super Bowl nearly here, one of the hot topics this week has involved the two QBs playing.  Many have started to wonder if a Super Bowl victory for Peyton Manning could catapult him into the #1 spot on the "All-Time Greatest Quarterback" list.  Obviously the list is fictional and opinionated based on many different influences, but I've decided to give it a shot and come up with my list.  This will be a tough one for me to tackle considering I'm only 28, so I've obviously missed out on the careers of many of these players, but I've been an avid football fan my entire life and with help, from everything from my dad to the NFL Network, I've managed to catch a glimpse into the players of yester-year.  Now without further ado lets start with the question:

This has been Part 1 of a three part discussion.  Part 2 will discuss the relevance of these acheivements in relation to the era these players played in as well as in relation to each other.  Part 2 will stand as the discussion for the elimination of the majority of the players listed, with Part 3 being an unveiling of my Top 3 Quarterbacks of All-Time as well as my reasons for those selections.
