There is no denying that the Cincinnati Bengals don’t have the richest history of team success in the NFL. The franchise has never won a title, and they are about 80 games below .500 with their all-time record since entering the league in 1968. However, the Bengals have been to three Super Bowls (XVI, XXIII, & LVI). Their first coach was legendary Hall of Famer Paul Brown, and they may have had the greatest tackle ever in Anthony Munoz. Even though Cincinnati hasn’t had abundant team success, they have had some pretty successful quarterbacks in their history. Heck, in the 1980s the Bengals had two QBs that won the NFL MVP. Their current guy behind center isn’t so bad either. So this franchise does have some pedigree. Without any more delay, it’s time to find out the top Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks of all time.

After a rejuvenating last two seasons where they reached the playoffs and hopefully ended an interminable quarterback carousel, the Denver Broncos appear ready to reclaim their role as one of the most successful franchises in NFL history. They are only one of 10 franchises to win at least three Super Bowls. In fact, their eight Super Bowl appearances are tied for second all time. You can tack on 15 AFC West titles to the team resume. The franchise was born in 1960 and struggled for a while. But then in the late 70s the Orange Crush defense made them contenders, and a few years later they acquired a two-sport star to lead them at quarterback for two decades. More recently they tasted a second glorious run as an NFL legend chose to finish his career in Denver. As Sean Payton appears to have identified the next great signal-caller for this team, let’s look back at their top signal-callers from the past. Your ears might start popping as we go to the Mile High City and reel off the top quarterbacks in Denver Broncos history.

Besides their 2024 run to the NFC Championship Game with a phenomenal rookie QB who is poised to be on this list soon, the Washington Commanders franchise hasn’t had much success the last 30 years or so.

It hasn’t helped that they play in the NFC East, historically one of the toughest divisions in the NFL. The NFC East is the only division in football where every franchise has won at least one Lombardi Trophy (Dallas → 5, New York → 4, Washington → 3, & Philadelphia → 2). Washington has even had three head coaches enshrined in the Hall of Fame. But if we look under center, who were the best quarterbacks in DC?
