The argument over the greatest NFL quarterback of all time usually comes down to Joe Montana and Tom Brady. 

When Montana retired after the 1994 season, he did so with four Super Bowl victories and was widely viewed as the best to play the position.

Nearly 30 years later, Brady, with his seven rings, is now considered by many to be the GOAT as the league begins its first season without the legendary quarterback since 1999.

However, Montana named another quarterback as the "best QB" of all time in a recent interview with "Men's Health." 

Dan Marino, who played 17 seasons with the Miami Dolphins, never won a championship, but Montana gives him the nod for "best" quarterback of all time.

"He had a quick release. I had to step into a lot of things to get enough [force] on the ball," Montana says of Marino. "He had the perfect torque of his upper body and strength to deliver the ball quickly at a fast release with accuracy."

The Men's Health article clarifies there is a difference between the greatest QB, which "typically refers to career achievements," and best QB, which refers to a quarterback's "individual talent."
