I'm not a big fan of American Football but I see the clear influence of the great Quarterback's on their teams victories and leading them to the Superbowl. I would say that my favourite is Tom Brady as even though I wouldn't say I'm a fan I root for The New England Patriots. Who's your favourite and why?.

Peyton Manning. Hands down.
I don't believe there has ever been a team in the history of the NFL whose contention for the Super Bowl was contingent on one player.
I at least know for a fact that one player has never made such a difference in my lifetime.
With Manning, the Colts are a perennial Super Bowl contender. They're constantly going on winning streaks of 8, 10, 12 games, and they have really been decisively beaten even when they do lose.
Without Manning, that exact same team that was a playoff squad last year is 0-8 this year.
It's amazing. It's ridiculous. It's proof positive that Manning is the life blood of the Colts.
Nowhere else can I see a QB meaning that much to a team. Without Tom Brady, a lesser Patriots squad in 2008 finished the season 11-5 and only missed the playoffs because of some really bad luck in the AFC that year. They would have been a top-seeded team in the NFC.
Aaron Rogers inherited a Super Bowl contender. And although he made them great and got them over the hump, they're not a losing team without him. The same goes for the Saints, the Steelers and a few other teams out there. They can at least with without their QB. The poor Colts - all they have is Manning. And since he's out this year, I can clearly see that he's the best player on the field.

I agree Peyton Manning is a great quarterback but the Colts poor start can also be attributed to the "LeBron effect" of losing a player, I know Peyton is injured but it still takes a lot to adapt and with a sport so focused on the Quarterback position and there being so few games in an NFL season a start like that is possible.

My favorite quarterback is from my favorite team the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers is my favorite! He isa very good QB. He is calm under pressure. He led the Packers to a win in Super Bowl XLV. Rodgers is confident,a team leader, and doesn't has a swelled head! This is why Aaron Rodgers is my favorite QB!
