Stupidly cocky seems to work for some positions but not QB.Â
WRs, DBs, DEs, DTs have all made the top level of the NFL sporting a stupid, cocky vibe. QBs? Not so much. The best, the players teams rally around and are willing to fight for, realize it takes a team to win. Jerks win, and more often lose, alone.
Here's some of the consensus player names that come up as among the top-20 all-time NFL QBs.
Tom Brady
John Elway
Roger Staubach
Drew Brees
Payton Manning
Otto Graham
Johnny Unitas
Aaron Rogers
Joe Montana
Dan Marino
Brett Favre
Steve Young
Fran Tarkenton
Bart Starr
No Jeff George or Michael Vick. No Art Schlichter or Rex Grossman. No Ryan Leaf, Vince Young or Jamarcus Russell.Â
Looks to me that the jerks with talent never made it to the top rung. Well, except when it comes to Dan Marino and possibly Brett Favre. We'll let Garvin start the counter argument there.
