Anyhoo, here's my picks:
1. Johnny Unitas
2. Joe Montana
3. John Elway
4. Peyton Manning
5. Terry Bradshaw
6. Tom Brady
7. Dan Marino
8. Joe Namath
9. Bart Starr
10. Brett Farve
10 was a tough one. I almost went with Otto Graham. Hard to measure the old guys to the modern guys.

You said QB, not Passer. Marino was the best passer. (With YA Tittle and Dan Fouts, but that is another list.)
A QB has other "intangibles" that can only be measured by "team" success.
In the Super Bowl* era, including cusp guys that won at least 1 Super Bowl, my top 10 QB (not just passer) is this:
1. Starr (2 SB’s and 3 NFL championships prior to SB)
2-3 (tie) Bradshaw (4 Super Bowls)
2-3 (tie) Montana (4 Super Bowls)
4-6 (tie) Unitas (1-1 in Super Bowls and 2 pre Super Bowl NFL championship)
4-6 (tie) Aikman (3-0 in Super Bowls)
4-6 (tie) Brady (3-0 in Super Bowls)
7-11 (tie) Staubach (2-2 in Super Bowls)
7-11 (tie) Len Dawson (1-1 in Super Bowls and 1 pre Super Bowl AFL championships)
7-11 (tie) Bob Griese (2–1 in Super Bowls)
7-11 (tie) Elway (2-3 in SB wins. If we just went by getting there he’d be have clear second. However putting Kelly with Monatana seemed a bit much.:D)
7-11 (tie) Plunkett (2-0) (Was he the only 2-0 guy?)
Tied for 12th are Farve and Warner. Both are active as of this writing and may enter the tie for 7th –11th place. A lot of guys got only one. The active ones can move into that tie for 12 or 7th.
I assume you can be lucky once. (Yes, Brady in 2001 was lucky.)
Winning is not everything, it is the only thing for a QB. Passing stats are nice, but if winning means no stats, isn’t winning better? Yes, a “system” QB that gets his ego out of the way as the other players do their jobs is waaaay better than a guy who figures it must because of him and forces 4 interceptions.
(Should it be a plus for getting there or a minus for losing? Ties not broken.)
*if not for this stipulation, Otto Graham is #1, and move everyone down 1 place. Otto Graham had 3 NFL championship wins, 3 NFL championship losses, and 4 AAFC championships. (If you do that add Bobby Layne of Detroit in with Plunkett As for Sammy Baugh, I don’t know how many Championships he won. Besides, he was the best Punter and Safety of all QBs.:D You can see why I cut off at the Super Bowl.:D )
Yes, Marino, Fouts, Y.A. Title, Moon (who unfairly lost half a career) are great passers but not better QBs. A QB needs things not measured by passer rating.
Now an idiot can say I’m wrong and how winning is not everything.:D (Then use baseball players or RBs to back up his point.:))
One possible guy that should be on this list is Warren Moon. Because of ignorant racism he had to spend most of his career in the CFL or become a WR.
