Though you might have relegated the leisure suits, All in the Family episodes and disco albums to your mental trash bin, the 1970s did feature some pretty good quarterbacks.

They were recently ranked on NFL Network's Top 10 series, and the list might leave some of you scratching your mutton chops:

1. Roger Staubach

2. Fran Tarkenton

3. Terry Bradshaw

4. Bob Griese

5. Ken Stabler

6. Jim Hart

7. Billy Kilmer

8. Ken Anderson

9. Bert Jones

10. Archie Manning

The argument(s) will obviously stem from the top where the Staubach-Tarkenton-Bradshaw trio will engender the same debates Joe Montana, Dan Marino and John Elway caused in later years.

Like Montana, Bradshaw has the rings and Super Bowl MVP awards. His detractors will point to the Hall of Famers comprising his supporting cast ... or rather they'll say Bradshaw was part of the Steel Curtain's supporting cast while not really being all that effective early in the Pittsburgh Steelers' run to four championships in six years.

Like Elway (who didn't get his rings until the late '90s), Staubach had a penchant for the dramatic comeback and could win games with his arm or his legs. Captain America also won two Super Bowls, though his Dallas Cowboys were beaten twice by Bradshaw and Co. Staubach did win four passing titles in the 1970s and finished with a gaudy 96-35 record (.733, including playoffs).

Tarkenton's game bore little resemblance to rifle-armed Marino's, but both amassed gargantuan numbers for teams that didn't have the same kind of talent as the '70s Cowboys and Steelers or '80s 49ers. Tarkenton was 0-3 as a Super Bowl starter, but his Minnesota Vikings were clearly outmanned by the '73 Miami Dolphins, '74 Steelers and '76 Oakland Raiders. Postseason shortfalls aside, Tarkenton finished his career as the NFL's all-time leader for passing attempts, completions, yards and touchdowns (all since surpassed), and his signature scrambling style left many a defender gasping for breath and cursing.

We've been known to disagree with some of these NFL Films-created productions in the past, but we'll buy Staubach's mix of stats, bling and charisma at the top. But we'd move Blonde Bomber Bradshaw ahead of Tarkenton. (And though Stabler — believe it or not — isn't in the Hall of Fame and has one fewer title than Griese, we'd stick the Snake at No. 4 ... sorry, Bob, no Sea of Hands or Ghost to the Post on your resume, and Stabler's flowing 'do and "study the playbook by the light of the jukebox" persona trump your frumpy glasses and run-heavy Dolphins teams.)

Discuss amongst yourselves.
