Some QB ratings for a career (which I think is the best way to evaluate a QB's success)and some other notables

1.Steve Young 96.8
2.Joe Montana 92.3
3.Dan Marino 86.4
4.Brett Favre 85
5.Troy Aikman 81.6
6.Warren Moon 80.9
7.Jon Elway 79.9

Current
Peyton Manning 94.4
Tom Brady 88.4

You obvioulsy have to factor in some things like how good a guys offense was (like Elway's first 7-8 years his teams were not that good he pretty much took them to the SB's by himself)I also think we forget how good Young really was maybe because he sat for a few years.

Montana= Rice, Taylor, Craig, Clarke.
Aikman= Irvin, Harper, Novacek, Emmit
Young= Rice, Watters, Brent Jones, William Floyd,
Manning= Harrison, Edge, Wayne, Dallas Clark
Brady= Reche Caldwell, David Patten, David Givens, Antawn Smith
Marino= Duper, Clayton,
and Elway later years= Rod Smith, Mcaffrey, Terrell Davis,

The fact that you say Brady is "Useless" without the rings is such a joke considering what he has had to work with so far in his career.

The west coast offence certainly inflated Young's QB rating.
Namath being considered a toip 30 QB is ridiculous. Career completion % under 50, career qb rating under 70.
My top 3 in alphabetical order.
Manning, Marino, Montana.

You aren't adjusting for eras. 50% Completion in 1960 =! 50% in 2006.

Also to say the west coast offence inflated Young, but not Montana is pretty selective.
