BillsPride12 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Just for something different, I don't recall this ever being discussed here or at least anytime too recently. In my lifetime the first three guys that I think of are Kelly, Favre, and Big Ben. If I was ranking them I would probably have to go with #4 as my #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Elway was a tough and super competitive guy in that mold. Heck, Dan Marino was tough too. He hated to be hit but I don't exactly remember him as being frail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Elway was a tough and super competitive guy in that mold. Heck, Dan Marino was tough too. He hated to be hit but I don't exactly remember him as being frail. Marino was a whiner. He was awesome with his quick release, but I've never heard of him being tough. His release was so fast, he rarely was hit. Now the other guys on the thread like Stabler, Plunket, Kelly, Elway. Those were tough guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I agree with the OP on those 3. I also add Andrew Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr1 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 “Meredith was really tough. He got beat up so bad in his early years. His last game, up in Cleveland, he came out of the hospital to play with a broken rib, a punctured lung, and pneumonia. I saw Meredith's nose broken so bad that it spread all over his face. Looked like a raccoon.” —Bob Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Tough to beat the old timers in the toughness category. Y.A. Tittle Johnny Unitas Kenny Stabler Joe Ferguson (that's right) Got to disagree about Joe Ferguson. Hit him a couple times and he'd get antsy and start slinging the ball away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Brett Favre is my #1 Terry Bradshaw was a tough SOB, even in the The Cannonball Run. Kenny "The Snake Stabler" should on the list. I thought Fran Tarkington was pretty tough and some would say Phil Simms cuz like a Timex watch he took a licking and kept on ticking.
