It was more of a gradual transition, rather than the abrupt switch caused by retirement. If we're including that transition in the list, though, you're right. There's absolutely no question it's at the top of the list. --Gene Bosling David–He did, but I didn’t include Young simply because he practically split time with Montana in 1987 and 1988 and played all of 1991 and 1992 while Montana was hurt.

I would say that has to be at the top of this list. Unless my NFL history is incorrect, didn’t Steve Young replace Joe Montana? I would say that has to be at the top of this list.

It also probably would have if Rodgers hadn't had 3 yrs. to learn the NFL. (See Alex Smith) Since I believe the Lord is a Packer fan (He favors virtue) He made sure that Aaron would be available to us; I don't credit TT because Rodgers' pick was a gimme. It's also a relief that Aaron has proven to be as bulletproof as his predicesser. Rodgers will be a great QB for at least 12 yrs.
