I mean I have no idea how to incorporate someone like Unitas, Staubach or Dawson into a list like this. Never saw 'em play. I wanted to put Favre in there but he's as like as not to just kill you by the end of the 1st half. With high stakes I just can't have a floor as low as his.
Young over Montana will raise some hackles, but Steve Young was ****ing insanely good. 1992-1994 Steve Young doesn't take a backseat to anyone. Arguably the most accurate passer ever during that stretch, hard as a coffin nail, could throw on the move or move the chains with his legs. I had to talk myself out of putting him at 2 on that list.

I agree about Favre. There's no denying that he was a great quarterback, but he's a home run hitter who also strikes out. I wouldn't put him on my "win one game" list.
I can see Young being ranked really high. I'm a big Steve Young fan. But for one game I'd take Montana. Montana has the second-greatest clutch gene ever after Patrick Mahomes II. As long as you can keep him from getting hurt, he'd have to be my #2 for one must-win game.
And I'd give you elway all day long against me in one game. I know that I'm on record of not being a fan, but I think he's the most overrated quarterback ever. I never feared him when we played his team. I can think of precisely one time when he was the central figure in a comeback against the Chiefs, and it was basically a hail mary that a receiver caught.
