Prominently regarded as the most important position on the gridiron, each team's starting quarterback for better or worse, represents the face of and carries the future of the franchise on his back. Most of the game's greatest stars have taken the snaps from under center and include names such as Bart Starr, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, and Terry Bradshaw. Commonly referred to as the franchise, the position has become even more predominant in the past decade with the decline of the running back and explosion of highly talented gunslingers into the league. The number of elite QBs in the NFL varies from year to year, with only a handful being worthy of consideration as all-time greats. In this series, we look at each team's current quarterback situation, from most envious to least envious, and who the face of each NFL franchise will be in the upcoming season.
