By the way, any list of the greatest QB's ever must include in the Top 10 Slingin' Sammy Baugh.
Heck,  One year Baugh led the league in passing and in interceptions, IIRC.  And I think he held the league record for punting for 5 or 6 decades.
The Unitas' and Starr's played in an era where defensive backs regularly mugged receivers at the line of scrimmage AND guys like Fuzzy Thurston and Jerry Kramer couldn't extend their arms when they blocked.  Imagine pass blocking Carl Eller or Merlin Olson WITHOUT extending your arms.
Different game...but great is great.
Babe Ruth never hit against Mariano Rivera and other specialists.  But nobody dominated the game with the bat like Ruth....ever. Ergo...he's one of the all-time greats! Maybe "The Great."
Lebron James, THE all-time great?  Don't make me laugh!
Come to me when he's won a handful of championships.....then maybe he'll join the Russell, Jordan, Magic, Kareem......(followed by Wilt, West, Oscar, Hondo, Bird, McHale) group.  But I don't see many quitters in that bunch.
Great is flat out great. 
May and Aaron and Dimaggio and Mantle and Willie McCovey would still dominate today.  Koufax would still throw BB's.  Whitey Ford would still just get you out. 
Even Felix would tremble a bit with a one out, one run lead in the ninth and The Babe at the plate.
Heck...He would probably call his shot.
