    The Ten Hottest Quarterbacks of All Time

    By Sarah B. Weir, Yahoo! blogger | Game Time Guide – Tue, Jan 31, 2012 10:19 AM EST

    With Super Bowl Sunday just around the corner, we here at Shine thought we'd do a rundown of the hottest quarterbacks of all time (gotta love this job). By "hot" we are not referring to a player who can lob a 60-yard bomb. We mean straight up sex appeal.

    Why are QBs such QTs? Usually the "face of the franchise," quarterbacks are the most visible member of the team and the one most likely to achieve celebrity status. The New York Times crunched some numbers and found that pretty boys are even paid for their looks: a handsome quarterback even earns an average of $300,000 more per year than his stats would predict.

    Check out the slideshow for our top ten picks (in alphabetical order).

    Honorable mentions include: Troy Aikman, Kyle Boller, Drew Brees, David Carr, John Elway, Matt Hasselbeck, Trent Edwards, Babe Laufenberg, The Brothers Manning, Don Meredith, Joe Montana, Warren Moon, Brady Quinn, Phil Rivers, Tony Romo, Johnny Unitas, Jim Zorn.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if we've passed over your QB crush, please let us know in the comments below.

      Jim Plunkett I think is hot. Better looking as he gets older. Excellent QB & never got the credit he deserves. Should be in the NFL's Hall of Fame. He's won 2 Superbow's & was MVP of one of them.

      Well, I agree with Kurt Warner, Tim Tebow and broadway Joe Namath but if these are just quarterbacks, not necessarily Superbowl QT's this list is missing Sam Bradshaw who is cute and has a terrific build. But I do agree with Doug S. that they should also do a list of the linemen and amybe one of the receivers and other players as well. Those linemen never get the credit that they desierve. .

      I have been a Jets fan long before Sanchez arrived, but he has made Sunday football all the more fun to watch. Good Jets eye candy. :)

      Always the wussy quarterbacks. You never see an article called "The Ten Hottest Offensive Linemen in the NFL." Yet, if it wasn't for them, all those quarterbacks would have their pretty faces pretty well messed up.

      Donovan McNabb & Brett Favre? Kind of undermines the credibility of the entire list!
