Thought Provoking Sports Question of the Day

[Anonymous519]

“Who is the smartest quarterback in NFL history, not the best but the smartest?”

• Peyton Manning
• Tom Brady
• Drew Brees
• Troy Aikman
• Joe Montana
• Roger Staubach
• Johnny Unitas
• Someone else

I think it is Peyton Manning all day every day. He was like a machine on the field. Efficient, knew how to read defenses, was so automatic in everything he did. While most think Brady is the GOAT I believe while he is a great quarterback his 7 Super Bowls give reason why most think he is the GOAT. I think Brady is more of a product of the Patriots system and in Tampa because of the talent around him. I think the other quarterbacks named above are actually a smarter quarterback than Brady. Maybe not as good but definitely smarter.

Alex Smith and Aaron Rogers.

I'm a big Montana fan, myself. He was far from the most physically gifted, but had a great knack for knowing when the pocket was collapsing and ducking under it JUST enough to find the receiver. I loved the way he often threw on his tippy toes, too!

Hmmmm, now that I think about it, maybe I'm talking about style, instead smarts. In any case, I love Montana.
