Today's list is the five greatest NFL quarterbacks not to win the Super Bowl.

Number five.

Number five is Warren Moon.

Now.

The truth is that Warren Moon belongs higher on this list.

The problem is, for those who don't know this and don't remember this.

Warren Moon was forced because at at the time that he was coming out of college for lack of a better way of putting it.

They just didn't have black quarterbacks in the NFL.

He had to go play in the CFL, the Canadian Football League.

We basically said every passing record imaginable, then came to the NFL and was sensational in Houston.

Who was the M V p of the league?

He led the league in passing twice.

He's 12th all time in yards today and again would have been way above that.

We'd be talking about Warren Moon with the greatest quarterbacks ever if he had had a full NFL career, so I didn't really know where to put him, but there's no way to do the list without him.

So Warren Moon is number five.

Number four.

Number four to me is Rivers.

I put Philip Rivers at four.

He is fifth all time in passing yards, fifth all time in passing touchdowns on Lee made the A F C championship game once and the lack of postseason success of any kind for getting just the Super Bowl.

But just having his little postseason success as he did is what keeps him from being much higher on any list of the all time great quarterbacks.

It leads people to wonder aloud whether he even belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Let me put an end to that discussion.

He definitely belongs in the Hall of Fame.

He is number four on my list of the greatest quarterbacks, not to win a Super Bowl.

Number three.

Number three.

I'm looking at Brandon.

Number three is Fran Tarkenton, Fran Tarkington.

For those of you who go back as I do to the mad scrambler, Fran Tarkenton led three different teams.

Two Super Bowls.

Now the Vikings made it four times, but he was only their quarterback for three.

He would lead three different teams, two Super Bowls.

He was the M V p of the league in 75.

He was a nine time Pro Bowler, and he was way ahead of his time.

The way he ran around back there again, they called him the mad scrambler because at that time, that was very unique for quarterbacks.

He is one of the great quarterbacks of all time.

He's another one who will be remembered differently if he had ever won a championship.

That's the threat of commonality amongst the players on this list.

But to forget Tarkington, I think, is to overlook an incredibly important Arab of pro football.

The seventies had several great quarterbacks and people remember Bradshaw, and they remember Star back because they won the championships.

Tarkington absolutely belongs in the discussion with those guys.

He's number three on the list of all time quarterbacks.

Never to win the Super Bowl.

Number two, too, is Jim Kelly.

Jim Kelly, five a F C Championship games, four Super Bowl appearances At the time of his retirement, he was second in 3000 or more yard passing.

He was he had a million different records.

Jim Kelly was the leader of one of the great teams ever.

He also didn't begin his career in the NFL.

He began his career in the U.

S F L with the Houston Gamblers.

That league didn't go anywhere.

He wound up in the National Football League and lead again the Buffalo Bills to four consecutive Super Bowl appearances that sometimes is mistakenly viewed as a negative accomplishment.

Going to four straight Super Bowls and particularly after losing three in a row, is an incredible achievement.

And you heard Jim on the show earlier this week.

It was because of the closeness of that team, and he was the leader.

So Jim Kelly absolutely belongs on this list.

He is number two.

Brandon.

I assume you could guess who number one is number one.

Yes, Brandon just yelled out Dan Marino!

And that is correct.

Dan Marino is to me.

It's so hard to quantify where to put him on the all time list of Just Greatest quarterbacks, period.

And people will who wear now, talking to multiple generations of football fans who never saw Morino play.

And they say he never won.

How can he be a good as this guy or that guy?

Just trust me, he waas.

If you never saw Dan Marino.

Throw a football, You missed a work of art.

Dan Marino's release was one of the most beautiful things you've ever seen in sports.

You could make you cry.

It would bring tears to your eyes.

And as a lifelong fan of the New York Jets at a time when that rivalry was really meaningful, I've never feared anyone the way I feared Marino.

I didn't fear Tom Brady at his peak the way I feared.

Marino, when he was the quarterback of the Dolphins, again only made it to one Super Bowl in his second year when he took the league by storm as a rookie and continued it into Year two.

And he got blown out by Joe Montana on the 40 Niners.

And everyone figured, Oh, the Dolphins are beginning a dynasty.

He'll get back 10 more times, and he never got back.

But he certainly belongs at number one on this list, and Marino is the greatest quarterback never to win the Super Bowl.
