Interesting that some QBs made both lists or whatever. For me its more about the teams these QBs were on that made them scary or not. I think a lot of QB ranking has to take era and teams they played into context. Thats why for me its too hard to call any QB or RB, WR, etc the "best ever" overall. I basically have to break it up by decade and then factor in the players surrounding cast. Its not that cut and dry to me.
