On 12-12-12, here are the 12 best QBs to wear the number 12

A member of the perfect 1972 Miami Dolphins, Griese is another Hall of Famer. He helped get the Dolphins to 3 consecutive Super Bowls, and they won two of them. That having been said, the offense was rather run-heavy, thanks to powerful running back and fellow Hall of Famer Larry Csonka. Griese was an 8-time Pro Bowler, and a 2-time first-team All-Pro quarterback.



Cunningham was Michael Vick before Michael Vick. He was a pretty decent passer, but the real threat was when he got out of the pocket and ran with the ball. His best season was 1990, when he passed for 30 TD and only 13, while also running for 942 yards and 5 more TD. Later, with the Vikings, he took advantage of the services of a young Randy Moss (and a not-so-young Cris Carter) and threw for 34 TD in 1998, on the way to his 4th Pro Bowl appearance.



"The Snake" won the 1974 NFL MVP, and also led the Raiders to victory in Super Bowl XI. He led the league in passing TDs twice, and his 103.4 passer rating led the league in 1976, back when only 2 QBs finished with a rating over 90. Stabler had some rough years late in his career, particularly after he left the Raiders, but there was a time when he was one of the best in the business, and as clutch as they come.



Stabuach is another Hall of Famer, and another multiple Super Bowl winner. He went to 6 Pro Bowls, won a Super Bowl MVP, and was one of the most efficient passers of his day. He didn't put up video game numbers like the players we see today, but he led the league in passer rating 4 times, including his final two seasons in the league.
