NFL quarterbacks are the glamour boys of football: because of their important position on the team, they often get most of the attention whether it is for good or bad. Many are as famous for their exploits off the field as they are for their great plays on the field. But, going on statistics alone, here are some stats about 2 of the greatest to ever play the game.





-- Joe Montana: San Francisco 49ers





Although he finished out his career in rather lackluster fashion with the Kansas City Chiefs, Joe Montana made history during his thirteen years in San Francisco. It's hard to believe now that he wasn't drafted until the third round when he came out of Notre Dame in 1979, but it's true. He went on to play in 192 NFL regular season games, threw for an amazing 40, 551 yards, and threw 273 touchdown passes.





He won the MVP award twice and went to the Pro Bowl eight times during his illustrious career. While in San Francisco, he led his team to four Superbowl victories, and his trademark was coming through in the clutch and under pressure, especially in post-season games. He is a god in San Francisco still, despite being followed by the impressive and successful Steve Young, and will always be one of the city's favorite adopted sons.





-- John Elway: Denver Broncos





Drafted out of Stanford in 1983 by the Baltimore Colts in the 1st round, Elway was immediately traded in a strategic move by the Colts which sent him to the Denver Broncos. One has to wonder how much the Colts later regretted that decision as they watched their former draftee's career unfold in the Mile High City.





Elway remained in Denver during his whole 16 year NFL career. He played in 234 regular season games, threw for a whopping 51,475 yards, and threw an even 300 touchdown passes. He was elected MVP once, and played in nine Pro Bowls. Although he only helped his team win 2 Super Bowls (as compared with Joe Montana's 4), he led them to the Big Dance an amazing 5 times. Since his retirement, Elway has remained close to the city that made him a star and loves him so much and owns a string of Colorado car dealerships.





-- Joe Montana, John Elway, and Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins were three of the best quarterbacks the game has ever seen and they all played ball during the 1980's. It was apparently a very good decade for record-setting quarterbacks, and their feats will not easily be duplicated!
