Top 10 Greatest NFL Quarterbacks to Wear Jersey Number 12

Tom Brady

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. is a retired American football quarterback who last played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the National Football League. Brady is known for being the only quarterback in history to win seven Super Bowls and is widely considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time... 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 Rodgers

Aaron Charles Rodgers (born December 2, 1983) is an American football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. He signed a one‑year deal with Pittsburgh in March 2025 after being released by the New York Jets. Rodgers is a four‑time NFL MVP and Super Bowl XLV champion... read more

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.

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.

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.
