The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of two expansion teams the NFL added in 1995. Amazingly, this team from North Florida made the playoffs in four of their first five seasons, including two trips to the AFC Championship Game (‘96 and ‘99).

The Baltimore Ravens are one of the NFL’s youngest franchises. In 1996, owner Art Modell relocated the Cleveland Browns to Charm City, and the Baltimore Ravens were born. For a relatively new team, they are already quite decorated: 16 playoff appearances, 8 division titles, and 2 Super Bowl titles. Yes, they have experienced lots of recent postseason heartache, but they seem to always be in the AFC mix. The consistency of having only two great coaches since 1999, Brian Billick and John Harbaugh, has anchored this franchise for success. Will new coach Jesse Minter repeat their productivity? Intimidating defenses and good quarterback play have also been staples of this team by the harbor. It’s time to head down I-95 and identify the top quarterbacks of all time for the Baltimore Ravens.

From 1960 to 2000, the New England Patriots never won a championship. Since 2001, they have won six Lombardi Trophies (tied with the Steelers for the most in NFL history). That’s what happens when possibly the greatest coach ever and likely the greatest quarterback ever are paired together. A pioneer member of the AFL in 1960, the Pats and the rest of the league officially merged with the NFL in 1970. Prior to the Belichick-Brady era, the team did have 10 playoff appearances and reached two Super Bowls. So, they weren’t a terrible franchise, but since the start of this century, the Patriots have been the model franchise in the league. After a few down years following the legendary duo, they just returned to the Super Bowl with a young franchise quarterback, so happy days could be here again in New England. Leave your under-inflated footballs and secret camera equipment at home because it’s time to present the top quarterbacks of all time for the New England Patriots.

Only around since 1995, the Carolina Panthers have already been to four NFC Championship Games and two Super Bowls. That’s more Super Bowl appearances than the Browns and Lions combined. Sorry, Cleveland and Detroit. The Panthers have been to four more NFC title tilts than the Cowboys since 1996. Not sorry, Dallas. My point is not to cast stray bullets at those cities, but to show that in a relatively short existence, this team based in Charlotte has had decent success. They just ended a playoff drought, and with a promising young quarterback and competing in an any-team-can-win-it NFC South, their fortunes could change quickly. As James Taylor sang, “I’m going to Carolina in my mind.” Here are the top quarterbacks of all time for the Carolina Panthers.

Yes, I know you New York Giants fans have had a rough go of it for a long time, and as an Eagles fan, I do take some pleasure in that. However, the Giants are one of only seven NFL franchises that have won at least four Super Bowls; they also won four NFL titles in the pre-Super Bowl era. Regardless of recent history, the New York Football Giants have a storied past. Just think about some of their hallowed residences … the Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, the Meadowlands, and now MetLife Stadium. Coaching luminaries like Owen, Howell, Sherman, Parcells, and Coughlin have led this franchise. They have had defensive Hall of Famers like Robustelli, Huff, Carson, Taylor, and Strahan. But what about their quarterbacks? If a franchise has won eight championships, then there had to be some decent QB play.  Let’s look back to better times for this team and identify the best quarterbacks ever for the New York Giants.
