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.

      Does he not already do that? The go route stuff is to just make space for the constant dink and dunk. That's why it dries up near the 20 where it gets tough.  Difficult to defend? Just get up in scores and lean into it. If they can send pressure without going too soft in coverage it will work agaisnt the Panthers.  I still think the offense is a QB away from instant improvement.

      About that schedule.

      I don't know how about 5 at this point. I think that window has closed. Getting the easy stuff early and being notoriously unprepared every year is blowing up in their faces. 3 might be the max. Good Bryce shows up when the other team is having a practice game or an off weak after watching our film. It's basically a sucker punch to teams mailing it in. Groundhog day? More like Groundhog year again

      It's a weak take like it was a weak game. It was garbage time against backups. That's his shine time. It's should be made fun of because it was pathetic. The WRs were gassed? What about the backup DBs? Those guys must have been really tired since they sit on the bench most of the time. Take that BS and go whine to someone else. man or zone they played off the line and back 10 yards in soft ass coverage. That and practice is all Young is good at. When the other team plays like they want to win he shuts down. Same as last year. Blah blah blah
