Montana (http://www.football-almanac.com/players/Joe_Montana.shtml) for me, but I was between Graham (http://www.football-almanac.com/players/Otto_Graham.shtml) and Montana (http://www.football-almanac.com/players/Joe_Montana.shtml). If one of them wins, I'll be voting for the other next.

I voted for Montana (http://www.football-almanac.com/players/Joe_Montana.shtml). While Graham (http://www.football-almanac.com/players/Otto_Graham.shtml) is certainly a viable selection, I highly suspect he'll be elected before I vote for him, considering the next guy on my list (Favre) is one I don't see garnering a lot of support quickly.
Again, I'm open to suggestions for candidates on the next ballot.

You have at least my next 5 picks already listed, so there is no one I need you to add.

This one is pretty easy if one allows Johnny U the first spot. I've got Joe Cool #1, and the U #2, but that's just me. Spots 3-10 are a bit tougher, especially when you start to look at best passers (i.e., Marino, Fouts, Moon) vs. best QBs/leaders (Joe, Johnny, Otto, Staubach), then trying to slot in guys like Baugh, Favre, and Elway. Then the weird guys, like Tarkenton and Stabler, who just won. Bradshaw has gotta come in somewhere, Namath still had the best touch, Manning and Brady are still too new- or are they?- this is difficult without further parameters. Comparing eras cannot be solely dependent upon numbers (Graham is deserving, though his numbers don't compare, different league entirely), or on Super Bowl wins (see: Dilfer, Collins, etc.), or on just contemporary opinions (Paul Christman, 1940s-50s Cards, the Elway Cross started with him). A bit of fun, though.
As an aside, I logged onto this site and was inundated by sex video ads. What gives? I thought this was a football, not footsie, site.

In my opinion, the first five or six can be put in any order, though they should all be there someplace. Montana, Favre, Unitas, Graham, Elway, and Marino, perhaps with Brady in there someplace after this year, are clearly the top class. After that is where it gets tricky.
I'm thinking Fouts for the next addition. Any thoughts on that?
And the problem we have right now is that there are too many spammers, and not enough active Super Mods.

I'm still a ways away from voting for Fouts, but don't mind him being added. I'm not sure I'd have him above Aikman, Bradshaw, Namath, Luckman, etc. Once I get through my top ten or so, I'm going to need to really dig down to do more research on this group to differentiate them.
