text: who do you think has been the best quarterback of all time and why? i've been searching and i've came up with a lot of diferent answers, so i would like to know yours... joe montana without a question.... but as to the qb that was great and was the most fun to watch.... that was without a doubt fran tarkenton.... the sheer terror and frustration you saw in defensivemen when he got even a little light of day was truly exciting.  you could almost feel opponents thinking ,   oh, f**k, am i going to look like sh*t on the postgame reels!!! . and he had relatively average offensive help around him most of his career.  (some great defenses withe the vikes though) .
