To answer your question, ironically, sounds like we're measuring "grit" here.

I would say he is the most perseverance ex-QB, but he isn't the most successful.

I would say Steve young had the most perseverance

Come on. That's ridiculous. Heaps is 2nd behind Ben Olsen.

We have very different definitions of "success", you and I.

Your opinion is wrong.

I'm going with Tom Brady 'cuz isn't his personal dietician LDS and if he didn't go to BYU he knows somebody that did so

Completely redefine "success" and I guess you are correct.
