Those 2 didn't do anything while in Tampa and Steve can thank what was a complete Team in the 49ers for making him look good. Yeah I said it!!!

Seriously? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Kilmer He started over Sonny & led the Redskins to their first Super Bowl where they lost to the undefeated Dolphins(a game I watched...on TV). He's in the Washington Redskin Ring of Fame & most likely would equal Sonny Jurgensen as the Redskins' second best QB &,at least,edge out Joe Theismann as the 3rd best QB in Redskin history.

You missed my later correction replacing Josh Freeman with Vinny Testeverde. Steve Young was a non-entity when he was with the Bucs in my opinion. He didn't blossom until he became a 49er.

I was there during the Kilmer/Jurgensen years. Both guys had their advocates, and I think George Allen had a hard time deciding which one to play. In the end it was Sonny.
I wonder if you can compare it to the Roger Staubach/Craig Morton years of the Cowboys(although Staubach would have the edge in talent)?
I wasn't alive or very young. I have never heard him talked about like all the other QBs

I'm going:
1. Sid Luckman
2. Eric Kramer
3. Jay Cutler
You have to put Eric Kramer on the list since he holds some records for the franchise and was the most efficient. I know McMahon won a Super Bowl but he was not a great QB.
I never knew much about Wade so I had to look him up. Pretty solid career but I'd still go with my top 3. Cutler barely makes the list but he has put up good stats and made it one game from the Super Bowl.
I had to look up Erik Kramer. I have to admit that the Bears is one of those teams that it is hard to find stand out QB's after Sid Luckman. If I hadn't of googled & found Bill Wade's name,I'd of put Jay Cutler as my 3rd QB also.
He was the winning QB but not the reason the Bears were that good. He really wasn't that great of a QB but he was fun.
Yea he wasn't great but,ask most any casual NFL fan to name a Chicago Bears QB,Mcmahon will make that list every time.He was in that silly SB shuffle video they made.
I admit, I forgot about Kramer. Very, very underrated QB in that era.
It's funny, the Bears have had some very good/great teams over the almost 40 years I've been following football, but quarterback is not a position that they've been know for. I remember in the mid 70's they had QB's like Bob Avellini, Mike Phipps and Vince Evans.....not exactly household names. The Bears formula for winning has almost always been solid running backs (legendary in the case of Sweetness) and great defenses.
?I agree with everything you said. I don't know those other QBs, I wasn't alive then.
If Colin Kaepernick keeps it up,he'll replace John Brodie as my 3rd all-time QB for the 49ers & might even challenge Steve Young for the number 2 spot.
