This Quarterbacks crew ranks #2 overall among all NFL divisions. They also have a deadly arsenal to pass to, and a pretty solid running game to turn to.
AFC South Starting Quarterback: Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Have we talked about this guy yet? By the way, where does he rank on your list of the all-time greatest signal-callers? As of right now (May 2014), I keep going back-and-forth between putting him #2 behind Montana or #3 behind Brady. Thoughts?
Back-up Quarterback: Johnny Unitas, Indianapolis (Baltimore) Colts
This guy really ought to hate Manning. Not only has Peyton Manning passed him on every legitimate critic's list of All-Time greatest quarterbacks, but Manning is also ahead in every TEAM category. Whatever. There is still no discounting what "the Golden Arm" did for the NFL and for all future quarterbacks. 10 times a Pro-Bowler, 7 times an All-Pro, Unitas also won 4 NFL MVP Awards, 3 Pro Bowl MVPs, led the Colts to a Super Bowl victory, was named to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team, and was ultimately enshrined as a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 1979.
Back-up Quarterback: Warren Moon, Tennessee Titans (Houston Oilers)
Dude threw for over 49,000 yards and had 291 touchdowns, good for 6th and 8th all-time. But here's the thing- he lost SIX YEARS screwing around in the Canadian Football League. Those 6 years would have easily placed him up around 2nd/3rd around Dan Marino's place. Of course, while he was in Canada he won 5 Grey Cups with his team and racked up numerous awards and league records. While he was in the NFL, he went to 9 Pro Bowls and was selected to 3 All-Pro teams. He was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 1990, won a Pro Bowl MVP, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006.
