30 greatest NFL QBs of all time: Where does Patrick Mahomes rank now?

The first one many considered the “greatest of all time” has seen his stock fall ever so slightly as the decades pass by. While Starr doesn’t see his name at the top of the list anymore, he still deserves his flowers for being one of the best to ever take a snap. Starr is most famous for winning both Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II. Winning the biggest game twice in a row is huge, but when it’s the first two ever, that will live on forever. When looking at the list of Super Bowls from top to bottom, Starr’s name will be next to MVP on those first two instances.

However, Starr’s dominance started before the Super Bowl era. He helped the Green Bay Packers win five NFL Championships in total. All those championships happened between the years of 1961 and 1967. Starr was a star in the playoffs. He is still one of the best of all time when the games mattered most. He is one of five players with a playoff passer rating over 100.

Starr usually gets hurt by the insane backfield he had to lean on. Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung are two of the best running backs of that era, and he had them both. Starr was able to use this insane running game to win games (Starr was also calling plays, which was common in this era).

Starr was a dominant player at this position. He led the league in passing multiple times and won the regular season MVP in 1966. We remember him for winning those first two Super Bowls, but he was much more when it came to his pure greatness.
