Sonny Jurgenson had a great run with the Eagles, then for the Redskins.

I don't think you can count Favre. I don't even know if you can count Young.
Of recent guys, Brees should be at the top of the list. Cutler hasn't done too badly.
Jake Plummer did well. Vick obviously should be there.
Gold said:Kurt Warner would seem to be a definition of a second act.
Mizzougrad96 said:Rich Gannon belongs on this list.

Why can't you count Steve Young? If anything, his entire time with the 49ers was a third act. He was the starter for the LA Express in the USFL before he even got to the NFL.
I guess it depends on how you define this, but I doubt you can say any of these guys was better in their second act than Young was with the 49ers.
