There is a great history of great quarterbacks wearing #12. Let's look at the best
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., is a retired American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. Brady is known for being the only quarterback in history to win 7 Super Bowls, and was often considered one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Brady was also... read more Unlike Peyton, who played in a temperature-controlled dome with no wind, as well as on super-fast turf with first-round drafted receivers, Brady played in the cold, wind, and rain of New England with less-than-first-round receivers. He also didn't have the media and commissioner manipulating the hype and record books in his favor as Peyton had.
Brady even had the media and commissioner trying to negate his greatness, and to top it off, they tried to frame him for a fabricated crime. All in all, Peyton can't hold a candle to Brady. We don't even have Peyton making the Hall of Fame because of his HGH use, nor do we hold onto the media hype of Peyton's stats because of his dome and altitude advantages.
Aaron Charles Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. His team has let him down in the postseason, namely the defense. Rodgers is one of the best pocket passers to ever pick up a ball.
An ongoing 11-year career with the Packers. His first 3 seasons were spent as a backup to Brett Favre. He has won 2 MVPs, a Super Bowl, a Super Bowl MVP, and 5 Pro Bowls.
Epic to watch, and I am a Jaguars fan. Even Brady says he is fun to watch.
4-0 in Super Bowls, famously called his own plays, and had a keen eye for reading and picking apart defenses. He was the leader of one of the best dynasties in football with the 1970s Steelers.
4-0 in Super Bowl wins says it all! He is without a doubt the GOAT, the very best superstar that football has ever seen!
He quarterbacked the famous 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers. He won 4 Super Bowls, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, a league MVP, and 3 Pro Bowls.
Roger Thomas Staubach, nicknamed Captain America and Captain Comeback, is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League. Truly an all-time great, Staubach and his Cowboys were indeed America's Team. Jim Hanifan, a former NFL coach, once said, "Every Cowboy, offense and defense, looked to him. They all felt that as long as he was in the game, they had a chance to win. To tell you the truth, his opponents felt the same way."
It's Joeysworld.
Huge Dallas fan. Good choice with Staubach.
Kenneth Michael "Ken" Stabler, nicknamed "Snake," was an American football quarterback in the National Football League for the Oakland Raiders, Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints. The story of the Golden Era of the NFL cannot be told without a significant mention of Stabler. He had an incredible winning percentage in Oakland. Snake was a true field general.
He played 15 seasons, most notably for the Raiders, and won a Super Bowl, NFL MVP, and 4 Pro Bowls.
With Stabler in the game and time on the clock, no game was unwinnable.
