names. The QB that I consider to have the all-time greatest QB name is hands down, Joe Montana. His name is perfect because A) simple, common first name B) cool, manly, and unusual last name. Not coincidentally, he had an extremely successful career. Hmmm...Anyways, I've compiled lists of past and presents QBs that are up for the "Joe Montana Award: for great QB name"
Former QB's:
-Dan Marino: short, normal first name and a solid and unusual last name. Doesn't hurt that he's one of the greatest to play the game.
-Johnny Unitas: fits requirement. Also, possibly the greatest of all time and a grade A bad ass.
-Joe Namath: Again great QB and great name. Also, had lots of success with the ladies...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc65NC44dSk
Current QB's:
-Joe Flacco: Up and coming QB and solid contender for the JMA
-Drew Brees: Manly first name to go with manly stats.
-Brett Favre: Mostly here just to irritate Brian
And now for what I call the "Cleo Lemon Award: for terrible QB name"...
-Cleo Lemon: Yes, he is up for his own award. Mostly because he sounds like he should be in a reggae band or a palm reader.
-Sage Rosenfels: First profession that comes to mind is accountant. Acutally, on the list of possible professions for this name NFL QB is about #1,567 right after adult film actor.
-Gibran Hamdan: First off I'm pretty sure thats not even a real name. Second, I doubt this guy's team even know who he is. And if they did I bet they would release him, because honestly, who can trust a guy named Gibran?
So that is all for now. Please vote on your favorite and feel free to add in your own ideas.

Spurgeon Wynn - Easily the worst QB I have ever seen play in the NFL and a name that fits his play.
ReplyDeleteJeff George - Assassins and bad QBs have two first names for a name.
Heath Shuler - Never a good sign if you are named after a candy bar that is not named "Butterfinger".
Bubby Brister - Really?
Haha all very good, but I must remind you of Matt Ryan and Tom Brady.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Garrett just thought up the Dan Dickel award for best stache or best name. If you haven't seen his picture, do so immediately.

I disagree. Drew Brees sounds like a tranny stripper name to me.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Namath was an ok QB i guess, for someone who threw more interceptions than td's. Please replace with Warren Moon.
Though if you allow QB's the level of Namath on here then I also nominate Yelberton Abraham Tittle.... aka Y.A. Tittle... aka Tits McGee.
