00:01The one thing I really loved about the 90s...
00:04The cell phone was perfect. Can you imagine life without a cell phone now?
00:08You can't see from television. I want you to see it live like your boy getting ready to see it.
00:11The 90s gave us the internet.
00:14But once we got into the 90s, everyone had kind of figured it out.
00:18Let's throw the ball.
00:25If you were a dot-com pioneer or an NFL quarterback,
00:29the 90s was a great decade.
00:31The only thing they wanted more frequently than URLs were footballs.
00:40Missed that decade. One word. Zubas.
00:43Zubass pants. Add the quarterback skills competition.
00:46Throw accuracy at stationary objects in their Zubass pants in Honolulu.
00:50Why? Were the 90s that horrible?
00:53Some 90s fashions may have been less than ideal,
00:56but the decade's quarterbacking was first class.
01:00Only the truly elite made our list and all that matters is what they accomplished in the 90s.
01:07I think that's what the 90s did. It ushered in that era of the NFL becoming a passing lead.
01:13I don't know. In the 90s, it just seemed like the position of quarterback became more about putting up big
01:18stats.
01:19He has the granddaddy of them all now. Most touchdown passes ever.
01:23And winning got shunted aside a little bit.
01:26Wins define everything in the National Football League and pretty much define your greatness.
01:33The number 10 quarterback of the 90s, Randall Cunningham.
01:38Number 10.
01:39Randall really was like the quintessential 90s quarterback.
01:42When I think of Randall, obviously a doable threat.
01:44Cunningham is going to run. He fires.
01:47You're in trouble against this guy because he can do things with his feet, with his arm, that you're not
01:53prepared to handle.
01:54The Rambo Rambo Show.
01:57What a rocket army head.
01:59Cunningham's going to throw it to the end zone. Touchdown!
02:02And can get around anyone. Kept the play alive.
02:05Cunningham just made that play by getting out.
02:10You've got to be on this list.
02:12If not only are you one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but you just so happen to lay
02:16down a 91-yard punt.
02:19That's impressive.
02:20Unbelievable punt. Randall Cunningham boomed it out and that was a 91-yard punt.
02:29Randall Cunningham was the perfect 90s quarterback because he had the best high-top fade ever.
02:35I thought the flat top was money. Not that I could ever have one.
02:38It couldn't have been better.
02:41Randall Cunningham's Fresh Prince style fade wasn't his only trend-setting endeavor.
02:45The two-time 90s Pro Bowler helped pave the way for a new generation of signal callers.
02:51It seems like he would have been perfect for this particular era, but the 90s, it was like the dawn
02:56of the athletic quarterback.
02:57The pro typical quarterback, seven-step drop, you know, it was down there, no mobility.
03:02Randall Cunningham said, okay, I could do a lot more.
03:04People call me and they always say, why do you think you can fly?
03:09I said, I'm an eagle.
03:12I can get out of the pocket. I can make a play. I can throw the ball 90 yards down
03:15the field.
03:16I can run for a first down. I mean, he was the guy.
03:19Rolling with the football and being flattened at the 10, but throws the ball and calls for a touchdown.
03:25What a great athlete he was. How limber he was. How flexible he was.
03:30Some of the things I did on the field, I don't know how I did them.
03:34I don't know how I did it. I think we're looking at Plastic Man.
03:38Cunningham is Plastic Man. You need to look no further than the play against the Bills.
03:43I was dropping back and I said, I know Bruce Smith is coming.
03:45He's about to be sacked in his own end zone.
03:48Split second I needed to, I ducked and he went over me. I said, whoa.
03:52He's looking. He's rolling. He's heaving a deep down field for Barnett, who leaps and has it.
03:58Barnett's gonna score!
04:01That's Randall Cunningham.
04:03Exactly.
04:07Our number 10 QB's late 90's resurgence was rivaled only by the material girls.
04:12Randall Cunningham was Minnesota's ray of light.
04:15His 34 touchdown passes in 1998 helped the Vikings set an NFL scoring record.
04:21Randall's amazing because he basically had two careers.
04:24Randall had his first career and then Randall had 1998.
04:26He absolutely caught lightning in a bottle.
04:29Randall played so out of his mind that year.
04:32All three of those receivers were big, bad dudes.
04:36Jake Reed, Chris Carter, the touchdown maker, and then you got Randy Moss.
04:44It was by far his greatest season as a quarterback throwing the football.
04:48You know, living in Vegas, whatever, holding a normal job, comes back,
04:51has one of the greatest quarterbacks he's ever, was to score 500 points.
04:55It honestly made no sense and yet it was wonderful.
04:58Coming up, we're back of the 90's, Jeff George.
05:03Is that right? I thought that was, was that, wow.
05:06I was wondering if that was for real.
05:10Is he really one of the top 10 quarterbacks? Can I come up with 10 better right now?
05:15Maybe so, but can you find an arm that made everybody dance now?
05:20He can throw the ball like no other.
05:23Look at that move.
05:24His ability to just throw the football ranks above any quarterback that I've seen during that era.
05:31Jeff George throws right into the end zone. Touchdown Atlanta!
05:38He could have knocked down a goal post if he threw a football at it.
05:43Nobody could throw back to back passes.
05:47That, that, that soft touch pass that had to be delicate and really right on the money
05:51and turn around on the next play and throw a 71 and a half yard bullet.
05:56Just caught a bullet!
05:58Jeff George could throw both of those.
06:03Jeff George threw for over 26,000 yards in the 1990's.
06:08The seventh most of any player in the decade.
06:11I must have slept on his career stats, I must say it.
06:15I plead guilty, NFL Network.
06:18But stats were never the issue for our number nine quarterback.
06:23Jeff George had one of the greatest arms in history, one of the quickest releases in history.
06:28He had everything you want in a franchise quarterback, but he didn't have it here.
06:35He was, he was one of the worst quarterbacks of all time above the neck.
06:46Where Jeff George has been, he had turmoil and problems with either the play caller or the head coach.
06:51These guys are going ahead.
06:53Remember him going back and forth with June Jones on the sideline?
06:57Yep.
06:59That's just disrespect for authority. Isn't that all what the 90's was about?
07:02Every coach you got in felt like, I'm the guy who can turn this guy around.
07:08Take him right on down and put him in there different.
07:11He cultivated an entire decade based upon his potential because he threw the prettiest ball in football.
07:17He threw a pretty interception.
07:20Is there anyone who has, like, lived more on his arm strength than Jeff George?
07:23Jeff has a very strong arm.
07:25He's the guy who, like, went down if the tackler got within five yards of him.
07:30At least we have the mullet to look back on.
07:32Jeff George is living proof that the mullet causes brain damage.
07:39John Daly and Jeff George are kind of the kings of the mullet.
07:42Business in the front, party in the back, and I don't know if that's ever a successful credo for an
07:47NFL quarterback.
07:48If the mullet makes the man, Jeff George would be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
07:52He played for the Falcons. He didn't have the mullet.
07:55He lost the mullet and all that was left was just surely Jeff George.
08:02Hard to say he's a top ten quarterback when he played for four different teams in the 90's.
08:09It says a lot about his sheer talent that even though he was acknowledged as a head case throughout his
08:13career,
08:14He kept hitting chance after chance after chance.
08:19Jeff George is throwing the ball accurately short of medium and long today.
08:26Great talent, good fantasy quarterback, maybe a top ten fantasy quarterback of the 90's.
08:31He's not a top ten quarterback in my 90's.
08:35The number eight quarterback of the 90's, Drew Bledsoe.
08:42People still love Bledsoe, man. You can go out to Gillette on any Sunday and you will see, I guarantee,
08:49a Bledsoe jersey tailgate.
08:52The prototypical guy.
08:53Big arm, gun flinger.
08:55Stood in the pocket, had a big arm.
08:56Just as a pure pocket passer, it's hard to say this to go to quarterback than Drew Bledsoe.
09:01That's the way to throw the ball, Drew. That's a perfect throw, son.
09:04I just don't know. I think that Drew was good.
09:08He threw the ball a lot.
09:10I don't know if he even deserves to be on the list, to be honest with you.
09:13Totally fair spot. Drew Bledsoe does not belong in that list.
09:16Are you hurt and frustrated, or how do you feel?
09:19Next question.
09:21Maybe Hugh Douglas can't handle the truth, but the first pick in the 1993 draft definitely belongs on this list.
09:29In the seven seasons Bledsoe played in the 90's, only Brett Favre threw for more yards, and only Favre and
09:36Steve Young threw for more touchdowns.
09:38For a long stretch of time, Drew Bledsoe...
09:41And they got to play more of the decade than he did. That's very impressive.
09:46He did throw the ball a lot, and he got volume numbers.
09:49But he got to a Super Bowl.
09:52As good as any passer in the National Football League.
09:57Bledsoe, play action, blows it back open, touchdown, touchdown!
10:02If I had to compare Bledsoe to any 90's pop culture icon, it would have to be Keanu Reeves.
10:08At speed's pinnacle, is anybody hotter than Keanu Reeves?
10:12You give me 93, 94, 95, Keanu hot, Bledsoe really hot.
10:17Play action fake, Bledsoe, end zone, touchdown!
10:23Look how nice that the ball comes out of his hand, see that?
10:25The nose rises just a little, yeah, that was very impressive right there.
10:30He was a great thrower of the football.
10:33Best part of Drew Bledsoe, his arm.
10:35118 yards, pull it.
10:37His arm.
10:37Break through.
10:38His arm.
10:39The Patriots regain the lead on Drew Bledsoe.
10:43Uh, that thing attached to his shoulder.
10:47His arm.
10:49Touchdown pass of the afternoon.
10:51Worst part about his game, his leg, his mobility.
10:55He ran the outs in one play in high school, and they ran it for one play in college.
11:00He was like, okay, well we won't do that anymore.
11:02He couldn't move at all.
11:04Not even a broken finger could stop Bledsoe from launching more Patriot missiles
11:09than George Bush in the first Gulf War.
11:12Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
11:15Bledsoe threw for the second most yards per game in the decade,
11:18and the Patriots rode his right arm back to relevance.
11:23The Patriots win in overtime!
11:24He went to a bad New England team and lifted them to the point where, you know, along with Bill
11:32Parcells,
11:33they actually won the AFC and went to the Super Bowl.
11:35He was not the quarterback who ultimately brought them a championship, but he turned that organization around.
11:42Everybody remembers him now as the guy Tom Brady replaced, but the truth was he was a pretty good quarterback.
11:49In 1996, Bledsoe led the Patriots to the Super Bowl, but that may not have been his defining moment.
11:57Dude threw 70 passes in a game and didn't throw an interception.
12:02Fires it long and deep right side.
12:04Caught! Touchdown!
12:06For him to throw 70 passes with Parcells on the sideline
12:09Back explodes to the end zone!
12:11Touchdown! The Patriots win!
12:13That's special.
12:15Up next, the quarterback had passed
12:18The number 7 quarterback of the 90s
12:22Warren Moon
12:25Warren Moon is by far one of the most underrated players in NFL history.
12:32Pro football, he's underrated.
12:34NFL, he might be overrated, but he belongs on the list.
12:42He threw a pretty ball.
12:44He threw a catchable ball.
12:45Another perfect pass by Warren Moon.
12:48One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
12:51Moon.
12:52There he is.
12:52Looking deep down the middle, and the man threw down.
12:55I think he should be a little bit higher up this list, quite frankly.
13:01Warren Moon has been fighting for his rightful spot in history to graduate in 1978.
13:06Determined to play quarterback at the professional level,
13:10Moon took his talents north of the border, where he rewrote the record books.
13:14I just want to once again underscore he won five great cups before he came to the NFL.
13:20Moon, he steps up and fires.
13:22Tom Scott is wide open.
13:24Touchdown!
13:25He threw for 21,000 yards before he got to the NFL.
13:30When Warren Moon came to the NFL from the Canadian League,
13:34he was out to show the world that the NFL made a mistake when they didn't even draft him.
13:38Power number 7 QB did more than prove he belonged.
13:42He passed for the most yards per game in the decade.
13:45Moon threw more touchdown passes in the 90s than John Elway.
13:49Moon, short drop.
13:51Looking for Jeffrey.
13:51He's got it tight!
13:53Some will tell you his stats were blown up a bit because he played in the run and shoot, but
13:58boy.
13:58In Canada, he didn't play in a run and shoot offense, but he won five straight great cups.
14:03Warren Moon played in the run and shoot for three years, but he had his greatest season statistically with Minnesota
14:09when Dennis Green was a coach and he ran a normal pro-style offense.
14:13That's it!
14:14Round 20!
14:15The great thing about Warren Moon, to me, was that no matter what offense he was in, no matter what
14:21system he put him in, no matter what coach he played with, he was an accurate, great downfield thrower of
14:27the ball.
14:28That goes Warren Moon.
14:30That goes Warren Moon.
14:32So regardless of what offense this guy was in, he still put up huge numbers.
14:39So why isn't Moon higher than seventh on our list?
14:43You're like, okay, you know he's going to put up huge numbers, but can he win?
14:45He only had one playoff win in the decade.
14:49Hard to blame Warren Moon for some of the bad defenses he had.
14:54It wasn't that he didn't embody winning, it was just that for whatever reason, he didn't win.
15:01Let's go now, let's get off to a good start.
15:03His playoff numbers were very solid for a guy who didn't win playoff games.
15:10Tonight, let's do our work, let's do it right, let's get it done today.
15:15Yeah, Warren Moon deserves on this list. He had a Hall of Fame career in the CFL before he had
15:20an NFL Hall of Fame career.
15:21Warren Moon is an incredible story because you think of how great his career in the NFL would have been
15:29if it had all been in the NFL.
15:33The number 6 quarterback in the 90s, Jim Kelly.
15:38You're not giving Jim Kelly enough credit here.
15:40You don't have to beat top five, who's above him?
15:43There's four guys you can put above him, and then you can't have Marino above him because they always beat
15:49the Dolphins.
15:50And then he went to four Super Bowls.
15:53Marino didn't go to a Super Bowl in the 90s.
15:57This is a joke.
15:58Sorry, Jim Kelly's offense made him a great quarterback.
16:06The great thing about Jim Kelly, he was a trigger man of a complex offense and could do it all
16:13himself.
16:13He's Terry Bradshaw of his generation.
16:16Bradshaw and Kelly may have a lot in common, but when it comes to championships, they are polar opposites.
16:22Both made four trips to the Super Bowl, but Bradshaw has four rings, Kelly has none.
16:32The Bills dominated the first half of the decade like Forrest Gump at the box office.
16:37But instead of run, Forrest, run, it was throw, Jimmy, throw.
16:42Hey, the K-Gun was one of the great offenses of the 90s.
16:46Hits the snap, backs up, will throw, he's got a touchdown!
16:51Jim Kelly was his own offensive coordinator.
16:54Jim Kelly carried that offense and that football team in so many respects.
17:00I think one of the things about Kelly that's really underrated is how smart he was as a player.
17:08It is amazing how fast his brain worked.
17:11I mean, he saw the field and snapped off the plays as rapidly as anybody could.
17:19Here's Kelly to throw!
17:21He pulls it down, throws, reads good, and at the 30!
17:29Jim Kelly's probably the most unlucky guy in the history of the NFL.
17:33Maybe more than any other quarterback in football on this side of Dan Marino,
17:37it's unfortunate that he never won a Super Bowl.
17:40Somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose, but you know, you always think, uh, why?
17:44Kelly came up small in the Super Bowls.
17:48Kelly on a bootleg!
17:49Look up, right at the end zone!
17:51What are you doing?
17:52Kelly's touchdown-intersection ratio in the Super Bowls, 2-7.
17:57Kelly to throw!
17:58It's him!
18:00I think Jim has taken far too much of the blame for the four Super Bowl losses.
18:05No matter what, you think of him as a four-time Super Bowl loser.
18:09Not the guy who got to four Super Bowls.
18:12Not the guy who finally made the Buffalo Bills into a good football team.
18:16He throws to the exile!
18:18And the fact that he wasn't able to win despite going to four Super Bowls, I think it's just unfortunate
18:23for him and his career, and unfortunate for loyal Buffalo Bills fans.
18:27My gripe with Kelly is that you take away those four Super Bowls.
18:34His touchdown-intersection ratio in the playoffs during the 90s was 14 to 15.
18:41And he was still 8-2 in those games.
18:45What does that say about him and his team?
18:53Jim Kelly taking his team to four consecutive Super Bowls might be something that he never accomplished again.
18:59And to have him at sixth is ridiculous.
19:02A really successful career, but he just couldn't get there.
19:05You know what? He was the Donovan McNabb of the 90s.
19:09Kelly to pass! He throws! Touchdown! Incredible!
19:12There's so many great things you could say about Jim Kelly, but he's the guy who lost for Super Bowls.
19:21Jim Kelly deserved better. He was a great quarterback.
19:24For my money, Jim Kelly was as good a quarterback as we saw in the 90s.
19:27Yeah, I think it's just silly that he's sixth.
19:30Up next.
19:32We thank God that's the 90s. Dan Marino.
19:36Five? Five. The most electrifying quarterback in the history of the National Football League. Five?
19:42It's out to the right side. Throws into the end zone.
19:44And it's caught! It's a touchdown!
19:47Five!
19:47Five? Really?
19:50Dan Marino's only number five?
19:51The guy who busted his Achilles came back and threw for 4,000 yards the year after that.
19:56Danny Marino is back, baby!
20:00How can you make him number five? Who made this freaking list?
20:03Who is doing these rankings?
20:05Uh, Dan Marino fifth.
20:08You've got to fight him!
20:09Marino at number five is a travesty.
20:13It's the 90s win!
20:16They have a point. Our number five quarterback of the 90s is best known for his work in the 80s.
20:23What a game by Marino!
20:25But Marino actually threw for more yards in the 90s.
20:29Dan Marino of the 90s.
20:31Pretty much was just the same guy in the 80s.
20:35That just shows you how good Marino was because he could be the quarterback of the 80s and encapsulating quarterback
20:40of the 90s too.
20:41Throws near side. Man down there. He's going to score a touchdown.
20:44The more veteran quarterback in the 90s was better than the young quarterback in the 80s.
20:50Man, oh man, oh man!
20:54The signature moment of Dan Marino's career came in 1994.
20:5930 seconds to go. I believe Marino is saying I'm going to spike it.
21:02Marino takes the snap from center.
21:04He throws!
21:05He throws!
21:05That was unbelievable!
21:09Yes!
21:10He wanted the ball.
21:12You are never out of a game with Marino as your quarterback.
21:18Dan Marino, no one questions that he's not a great quarterback.
21:20But there's something missing. He didn't win a Super Bowl.
21:23Even Ace Ventura couldn't find Dan Marino a Super Bowl after 84.
21:29Our number 5 quarterback of the 90s never found his way back to the big show.
21:36Going 3-7 playoffs during the 90s.
21:40Miami Dolphins have self-destructed in this game.
21:43If he had won even one Super Bowl, he would be known as the best quarterback in that world.
21:49Ironically, it was the best coach of the 90s, Jimmy Johnson.
21:53How about them cattle?
21:55Who sealed his decline.
21:57Once, the coaching staff changed.
21:59I ain't never been part of this where you can take it down the field that fast.
22:02He went into an offense that he couldn't check off.
22:05There were no hot reads.
22:08And you've got a 17-year veteran playing in an offense that's suited for...
22:17High school.
22:22The funniest Marino thing to me is when you get to him and bring him down, the first thing he's
22:27gonna say is, you got me.
22:29All right.
22:30Then look at his linemen.
22:31You fat slug!
22:32Give me some...
22:34The 90s is the time when he just got old, surly, gippy legs and...
22:41Dan Marino's probably looking right now at Mark Clayton, Mark Ingram.
22:45You got the one-on-one bump and run. You gotta win.
22:47All those guys are getting yelled at right now.
22:49Get that outta here! Get that outta here!
22:51Then he's gonna throw a Gatorade glass on the floor because he's number five on the list.
22:56Number four quarterback.
22:58The 90s.
22:59Steve Young.
23:00Way too low.
23:01Way too low.
23:02If you were building the quintessential quarterback, it would be Steve Young.
23:08Young takes off.
23:09He might go!
23:10Young's hand down to the five!
23:12Comes to the right!
23:13Pushes up!
23:14The man could do it all.
23:16Talk about a 5-2 athlete.
23:18He's a 5-2 quarterback.
23:20Young throws down real Jerry Wright!
23:22He's done it!
23:23Touchdown 49ers!
23:25Play by Steve Young!
23:28Steve Young was a wild man.
23:30A psycho!
23:31A psycho!
23:32This is a psycho!
23:33In an exhibition game, his helmet falls off during the course of the game.
23:37What does he do?
23:38He cuts it back upfield and gets about 15 more yards.
23:42A lot of people forget how good of a runner he was.
23:45Our number four quarterback of the 90s was a runaway trainer.
23:49Rushing for more yards than any quarterback in the decade.
23:53So, how was he not...
23:57Young averaged over six yards per carry in the 90s.
24:02One man to get fired!
24:04Pete to the five!
24:05And he's going to the end zone!
24:07Ha!
24:09That athleticism sometimes overshadowed the rest of Steve Young's game.
24:14And again the bootleg.
24:16Young, unbelievably, this time throws.
24:18He gets it to run!
24:19Jones into the end zone!
24:20Better athlete.
24:21Better athlete than quarterback, I would say.
24:23But a much larger shadow loom.
24:26The number one quarterback of the 80s.
24:29Joe Montana.
24:31Montana is still the best that he always will be.
24:34Joe Montana would be running in the first place.
24:37Steve Young had the burden of having to live up the expectations for following Joe Montana.
24:41And I think that's tough on a guy.
24:43Joe was more of a quarterback and Steve was more of an athlete.
24:45So, I know that will upset Steve very much to hear that.
24:48For a brain your size, you're not really acting very smart.
24:51Well, when you go back and look at the numbers.
24:53Steve Young had five seasons where he had passer ratings over a hundred.
24:57Young drops back to drag.
24:58Matt!
24:59Joe Montana had four.
25:01Hey coach, I'm way better.
25:03And yet, most people pay no attention to Steve Young.
25:06Oh yeah, please, get a response for that, I'd like to know.
25:08Steve Young might have played the position better than Joe Montana.
25:14Steve Young replaced Joe Montana, replaced the legend, and right away, he's an MVP.
25:21In his second season as San Francisco's starting quarterback, Steve Young won league MVP.
25:28He has gotten rid of some things on his shoulders.
25:32Two years later, he did it, baby, one more time, and lost a monkey in the process.
25:37Let's do it!
25:39Let's do it!
25:41Let's do it!
25:42Let's do it!
25:43Let's do it!
25:43Let's do it!
25:44Let's do it!
25:47Steve Young also had the highest quarterback rating and winning percentage of any quarterback
25:52on our list.
25:53The ball had to be perfect!
25:55So how was he not number two or number one?
25:58Niners will win it!
25:59Nobody had as much rushing value, nobody had as much passing value, and nobody else did
26:05it year after year the way he did.
26:06Steve Young, one of the courageous games I've ever seen in a pro football player's career,
26:12just the step of legend!
26:14Steve Young was the best quarterback of the 90s, period.
26:18But he's not.
26:19And when we return...
26:21The number three quarterback of the 90s, Troy Aikman.
26:25Your list is officially a joke, he's not in Steve Young's lead.
26:29If he were a college quarterback, you would call him a system quarterback.
26:34He doesn't get enough credit for being a fantastic quarterback.
26:36As time, going for the end zone, he's got a man!
26:40It's caught for a touchdown!
26:41I think Troy Aikman could even be number one.
26:44Troy Aikman was the most overrated quarterback in all of the 90s, maybe even all of football
26:49at this point.
26:50Damn it!
26:51No, I think Aikman is number one, because rings count for something.
26:58Perhaps no player on our list has a more polarizing presence than Troy Aikman.
27:03The Cowboy QB passed for fewer yards per game than Jim Everett.
27:08But he does have three Lombardi trophies.
27:11You can celebrate because your Cowboys are world champions!
27:14To me, he was more of a product of the team he played for.
27:16He played with Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, two amazing players.
27:19He played with the best offensive line in football.
27:22Keep playing, guys! Keep playing! Nice job!
27:25I mean, that was such a loaded team.
27:27Showtime!
27:28Troy's got three rings for a reason.
27:31Yes, he played with Emmitt and Michael.
27:34But they also fed off him.
27:37This man right here was our leader.
27:38Without no Troy, there's no Michael catching that rock.
27:41Without no Troy, there's no Emmitt Smith running the rock the way that I was able to run it.
27:45I thought he really was the guy that supplied the focus, the fire, and the leadership to those Dallas teams.
27:52Hey guys, that's a f***ing embarrassment out there! Junior League!
27:56When you think about that Dallas Cowboy dynasty, that era, what type of quarterback you need to lead that group
28:03of guys, it's Troy Aikman.
28:06He's perfect. He looks the part, he plays the part, he is the part.
28:09Hey guys, let's go out and have a little fun tonight, alright?
28:12Go win on three! One, two, three, win!
28:14All he ever cared about is, what do you want me to do to help the team win?
28:18We needed to win, and for that reason it was nice.
28:21If they'd have said to Troy, you know what Troy, we're going to start throwing the ball 35 or 40
28:25times a game,
28:26he'd have put up unbelievable numbers.
28:29He is the most accurate quarterback I have ever seen.
28:33I'm telling you, if I closed my eyes to run 10 routes, I believe eight of them would have hit
28:41me right in the head.
28:45Passed 20 touchdowns once in his career.
28:48Left corner of the end zone, he caught it for a touchdown!
28:52But in the postseason, Aikman was unstoppable, completing 64% of his passes and tossing 23 touchdowns.
29:00Touchdown, Cowboys!
29:02When you look at his career, you say, okay, what did he do in the championship games?
29:08Aikman, a straight drop, over the middle, it's caught by Kelvin Martin at the two, touchdown!
29:13This team's going to Pasadena!
29:15Well, this guy was always on fire.
29:17When Aikman needed to step up and be brilliant in games, he was.
29:24Troy Aikman's the MVP, and Dallas, your Cowboys are...
29:31When you start really breaking down the whole idea of what this game is about, it's about winning.
29:38I think Jim Kelly was a better quarterback than Troy Aikman.
29:40I think Dan Marino was a better quarterback than Troy Aikman, by far.
29:45But Troy Aikman won, and rightly or wrongly, in the NFL, that's how we rate our quarterbacks.
29:50Who won the most?
29:51If Troy Aikman's number three, and he won three Super Bowls in the decade, I'm not sure what else he
29:56had to do to be the number one guy of the decade.
30:00Actually be the best quarterback in the league.
30:04This is a joke.
30:06Number two for the back of the 90s, John Elway.
30:10I think John Elway should be number one.
30:12John Elway has done it again!
30:16He got what Jim Kelly and Dan Marino never got, a couple of Super Bowls, and boy, doesn't that make
30:21a difference.
30:21What you don't realize is that in the 90s, even before he wins the Super Bowls, there's a 12-4
30:26year and a 13-3 year.
30:28This is about as good a throw as I've ever seen he make.
30:31And two seasons of Wade Phillips.
30:34Only Elway can pull that off.
30:36That's greatness.
30:40Our number two quarterback in the 90s was a natural fit in the American West, leaving tombstones scattered in his
30:49wake.
30:49And John Elway has done it again!
30:51He was a gunslinger.
30:53That's the best way to sum him up.
30:54And the Denver Broncos for another fantastic comeback!
30:58John Wayne and cleats.
31:00They love me.
31:02Complete with the gate.
31:04He was like he was playing with the cowboy hat and the holster.
31:09It's like the Wild Wild West played football.
31:14Elway's to the end zone!
31:17The personification, I think, of just give me the ball at the end of the game.
31:21I'm gonna make it happen.
31:22This guy will go down as the greatest cover behind by the home in National Football League history.
31:30I think Elway was maybe better in the 80s.
31:33I've never seen a guy with that kind of arm in my life.
31:36And the ball moved so fast, I turned my head and it was there!
31:39But I think the way he played in the 90s and the fact that he won proved that he was
31:43as good in the 90s.
31:44If not, it's not even better than that.
31:45Time after time!
31:47Time after time!
31:48He does it!
31:49In the 90s, you saw him bring the team up to a whole nother level.
31:54Fans and media, especially cynical media, were so happy that he won a Super Bowl.
32:01Throws down deep in the middle of the field.
32:02Ryan Smith's good!
32:03It was like, I don't know, God had a hand in it.
32:07This one's for John!
32:10He got what he deserved in the end, but boy, it was a close shave.
32:14He earned it!
32:18So why is John Elway just second on our list?
32:22If John Elway had won those two Super Bowls at the end of his career,
32:26they would still be hanging him in effigy in Denver today.
32:30I think some of his better years when he went to those first three Super Bowls and lost.
32:35This one is history.
32:36By the time he got to the 90s, he wasn't as prolific.
32:40He wasn't the guy on either of those Super Bowl teams.
32:46It's fitting that in a decade whose best-known show was about doing nothing,
32:51John Elway's championship years didn't involve too much more.
32:55Davis in the first down to Ralph Davis.
32:57Look at him!
32:59TV for TV!
33:01Though his winning ways earned him second on our list,
33:04Elway doesn't rank higher than fourth in the decade for any major statistical category.
33:1050 yards on the carry for Terrell Davis.
33:17Numbers aside, no one can take away the fairytale ending for our number two quarterback of the 90s.
33:25You know in the western, where you get the cowboy, and the cowboy can't figure it out,
33:29and the bad guy's getting the best of him, and then at the end, he rides off into the sunset
33:33after saving the girl?
33:34That's what happened to John Elway in the 90s. He was the cowboy who rode off into the sunset.
33:38When we return, someone else should be above Favre.
33:42The number one quarterback of the 90s,
33:45Brent Favre.
33:47Rob's number one.
33:50No, you have it wrong.
33:51You're making me sick.
33:53Would I call him the best of a whole decade?
33:56I don't know about that.
33:59NFL Films loves Brent Favre, obviously.
34:01And there was a period there in the 90s where Favre and the Packers seemed absolutely unbeatable.
34:08We really built our defense around stopping Green Bay in the 90s.
34:13Who can throw it better than Brent Favre?
34:15Brent was the toughest matchup we ever had to face.
34:17Holy cow!
34:18You think about him with Reggie White resurrecting the Green Bay Packers
34:22and then running around the field with that helmet raised.
34:25Brent Favre was the 90s.
34:29Brent Favre burst into the league with unbridled enthusiasm.
34:33You might even say, teen spirit.
34:3623 seconds left.
34:38Don't drive it anywhere.
34:39We called two-jet, all-go.
34:41And he threw a laser.
34:44There's a man, he's wide open, back down.
34:46And in front, and the Packers have tied the game.
34:49I can't wait.
34:50When you saw Lambeau Field that day, the excitement in that crowd.
34:56These fans are going crazy.
34:58It was unbelievable.
35:03The quarterbacks that I've seen, he has to rank number one.
35:06I think for a guy who was just fun to watch.
35:10The way he could improvise, the way he made a game exciting.
35:15He flips it into the end zone, cuts down Green Bay!
35:18You see him pitch a ball underhanded.
35:20Just the way they drew it up, huh fellas?
35:22A lot of that's just his attitude.
35:25No more rocket balls, please?
35:27Well, I've chinged up.
35:28No, I know.
35:28I used to think it was hysterical though, watching Holmgren just fume on the sidelines and fart.
35:33Can he play? Does he know what to do?
35:35Throw it away, throw it away, throw it away!
35:38Why doesn't we have, why didn't he?
35:39He threw some of the most spectacular bonehead interceptions in the history of great quarterbacks.
35:46If you didn't think it could get any more ugly, it is.
35:50That was a life we lived for three years there.
35:53It was exciting, man.
36:02But Brett Favre was more than just fun to watch.
36:05He won three consecutive MVP awards.
36:09What a play by Brett Favre!
36:11Bucks comes over the middle.
36:13Three in the corner!
36:14Touchdown!
36:15What a play!
36:16He came back the night for the touchdown!
36:18Go, Bill! Come on!
36:19And won the Super Bowl XXXI.
36:22He's got a right over.
36:24It is going to be a touchdown.
36:27And when you have Brett Favre and you have a Super Bowl championship, what did you expect?
36:31You know, I'm surprised it was as mild as it was.
36:36No, he's number one. Come on.
36:38In the 90s, he had 23 or more interceptions in three different seasons.
36:43And bad, it just got worse.
36:45Aikman won three rings.
36:47Three times as many as Favre.
36:49Aikman didn't lose the Super Bowl.
36:51Favre's pass is going to be incomplete!
36:54Denver's going to win it!
36:55And we beat Brett Favre in the Super Bowl.
36:57How does he get a notch below?
37:00And he won two Super Bowls?
37:01No, that's stupid.
37:01Brett Favre being number one is a flat-out joke.
37:05We're not underrating Super Bowl victories.
37:08For goodness sakes, if Troy Aikman doesn't have those three Super Bowl rings,
37:11where does he rank on this list?
37:1310th? 15th? 20th?
37:15Emmitt Smith! Touchdown, Cowboy!
37:18For John Elway, for Troy Aikman in the 90s,
37:21those Super Bowl rings are the calling card.
37:23Those guys are just about where they belong on this list.
37:28To have Brett Favre as the number one quarterback in the 90s,
37:30it's kind of ridiculous.
37:31Who made the list, Madden?
37:33I mean, come on.
37:34It's a joke.
37:35Brett Favre is not number one.
37:37There's no way Brett Favre is number one.
37:39You know, look, I like Brett Favre.
37:40I don't think everybody loves Brett Favre.
37:43Okay, wait a second. No, I don't like Brett Favre.
37:45I respect Brett Favre.
37:46Someone else should be above Favre just on principle.
37:49I don't know how you don't love a guy like this.
37:51He's what epitomizes the sport.
37:55Brett Favre has turned into like this big mountain.
37:58You might not like the mountain, but you can't ignore the mountain.
38:01What he did in that decade was that he dominated.
38:04What is that comeback number 15, Wayne?
38:08He dominated the early part.
38:09He dominated the middle.
38:10He dominated the end.
38:12He dominated discussions.
38:13I gotta see this.
38:15Brett Favre out here.
38:16Brett Favre.
38:17He has to rank number one.
38:19He's at the top of my list.
38:21He's the best quarterback in the 90s,
38:23and he's probably the toughest matchup we've ever had to face.
38:27There's no way Brett Favre is number one.
38:29No way.
