Best quarterback era?

What, in your opinion, was the golden era of quarterback play?

Was it the 60s, with Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr? Guys who called their own plays, played hurt, and basically had zero prima donna in them?

Was it the 70s, with Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw and Fran Tarkenton? Guys who started turning play calling duties over to the sideline, but made plays and still led their teams in the clutch?

Was it the 80s, with Joe Montana and Dan Marino? Guys who took what the 70s guys did and perfected it?

Was it the 90s, with John Elway, Brett Favre, Troy Aikman and Steve Young?

Guys who added the running dimension to what the guys in the 80s did?

Or was it the 00s, with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning? Guys who remained in the pocket and picked almost every defense they faced totally apart?

Discuss.

IMO, the after they added the no hit beyond 5 yards rule for receivers, things changed for the Passing game. The QB's before then had it harder, which is why the run game was so dominant.

That being said, they were all good.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
