In 1998 the owner of the Buffalo Bills issued an ultimatum to the Buffalo fans: Sell a certain amount of luxury boxes, or I don't sign a new lease and will move the team. The goal (which I can't remember exact number) seemed insurmountable for a small market such as Buffalo. Then Rob Johnson gets hurt, Doug Flutie steps in and "Flutiemania" was born. The team won 8 in a row, made the play-offs and sold the boxes.
TALK ABOUT IMPACT!!!

No doubt about it, it has to have been Fran Tarkenton. This guy was almost like a cartoon on the football field; running around, completeing passes, dodging defenders, scrambling 30 yards behind the line of scrimmage and still getting the play off. By the time he retired he led his Vikings to 3 super bowl appearences. Although he never won any of them, he was still an unbelivable QB. When he retired he was the all time leader in attempts (6,467), completions (3,686), yards (47,003), touchdowns (342). He also retired as the all time leading rusher for QB's with 3462 rushing yards and had 32 TD's. Before the likes of Montana, Elway, Marino, and Favre, many people called him the best QB of all time. The guy could flat out play and was a true talent.
Oh by the way he was only 6'0 and 190 lbs.

I don't agree with Doug Flutie. It took him a long time to make the NFL and then he only started for a couple years.
Drew Brees is my pick. He's about 5'10 (usually listed at 6'0) and carried a bad team into the playoffs last year.

Pat Haden of the Los Angeles Rams. He helped lead the Rams to 4 N.F.C. West titles from 1976 to 1979 which included 2 N.F.C. Championship game appearances. In the 1979 season in a game against Seattle he threw 13 straight completions before untimely breaking his right pinky finger right before the half that effectively ended his season and ultimately paved the way for backup Vince Ferragamo to lead the team to the Super Bowl.

Eddie Lebaron, by far - he was 5'7"
He was selected for the Pro Bowl 4 times (1955, 1957, 1958, and 1962), and was the leading NFL passer in 1958. The shortest quarterback to ever be selected to the pro bowl, LeBaron was known primarily as a ball-handler and elusive scrambler.

Jeff Garcia is a great example. He is 6'1, and weighs in at 195 pounds, but he led the Eagles, who started to struggle with Donavan McNabb to the playoffs. Garcia is also a four time pro bowler and made an impact with the San Francisco 49ers.

I believe that even though he got a late start that it has to be Doug Flutie. He did well when he played for the Buffalo Bills during the early 2000's.
