"The quality of a great quarterback is being able to deliver when you have to," says Bart Starr in this rich and rewarding documentary about professional football's field generals. Starr, a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Green Bay Packers during the Lombardi years, ought to know, of course. The legend ranks high on 50 Greatest Quarterbacks's list of most accomplished QBs, guys who know how to get the job done when the stakes are high and the pressure is unbearable. Starr's in great company. The listings here include not only such obvious giants as Joe Montana, Joe Namath, and Johnny Unitas, but illuminate the overlooked careers of Frank Ryan of the Browns, John Brodie of the 49ers, and Ken Stabler of the Raiders, among others. Still, the high points of this video are extended chapters on Namath, who legitimized the AFL for many skeptics, and Montana, whose confidence made greatness look all too easy. --Tom Keogh
Product Description
The quarterback is professional football's leading man. Every Sunday, he is at the center of the action. The hopes for victory ride on his shoulders. The spotlight is intense, the pressure is enormous. It is the most demanding position in all of the team sports and only a handful of athletes have what it takes to do it at the NFL level. Those who rise to the very top become legends.
In this video, NFL Films takes on the daunting challenge of selecting and ranking the 50 Greatest Quarterbacks of all time. The players were judged not just on their statistics, but their toughness and leadership-all the qualities that make up a great quarterback. How do you compare players from different eras? How do you compare Otto Graham, who won championships in the 1950s, to Brett Favre and John Elway today? If watch this video, you can decide for yourself. Running time: 50 minutes

4.0 out of 5 stars
As usual, great stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: NFL 50 Greatest Quarterbacks [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Any of the NFL Films Best Of videos are worthy additions to a football fan's collection. And they've only gotten better over the years. But, sorry Marino fans. While he can't bear blame for being without a Super Bowl win -- the 49ers team he lost to was one of the best ever with a great defense and the 'Fins often had a terrible D in succeeding years -- passing records aren't the sole measure of a quarterback. That's especially true when you're talking about QBs post-1978 rules changes that made it illegal for defenders to make contact with receivers down field. Imagine how big Unitas' numbers might've been if Herb Adderley couldn't knock Raymond Berry all over the place throughout the pattern. Personally, I'd rate Marino as the best passer and the best overall QB to be between Graham, Unitas, Montana, Elway and Favre.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great overview,
This review is from: NFL - 50 Greatest Quarterbacks (DVD)
One of the Many things that I always enjoy so much about sports is Debates upon placements of Players.for Me if you are considered Great then you can be anywhere from 1-50 or 1-100. because when you are Considered Great that alone puts you into Elite company.I dig all the QB's Mentioned.glad Jim Kelly got madd Props though.

I agree with Kim Carter,
This review is from: NFL - 50 Greatest Quarterbacks (DVD)
Karl if check this site out, it will provide concrete evidence of what Kim Carter is saying: http://www.nfl.com/qbclub/marino.htmlDan Marino does deserve a high rating, I don't think he is #1 however, there are better quarterbacks than Dan Marino, such as Steve Young, the highest quarterback rating ever in history. But Dan Marino I believe is definitely in the top 10. And is also by far, one of my most favoriate quarterbacks to ever play the game!! This DVD rules! Get it sports fans!
