Seen those plenty of times and that is why he is considered a great QB

But Top 3-4 QB of All-Time? Not a chance

In fact, I would take 6-7 before him

What a cheap shot. Hey, I'll take a QB who's a winner over anybody else anyday, despite interceptions. What matters is the scoreboard and the championships, not the stats, even though he has plenty of great stats.

[reddot8481]

Scoreboard and championships??? Ok so now you got Brady Montana Bradshaw Elway ahead of Favre.

you have to consider that the guy played more seasons than anyone other than Dan Marino. If Montana had played 2 more years with the receiving corp that Steve young had almost half of those records would belong to him.

[usc90grad]

They always hate on the best.

[reddot8481]

Oh if he was the best we would only hate more.

As proof, I forgot to mention Aikman in that earlier post for scoreboard and championships.

And if Farve had that recieving corp he would have gotten the records a few years ago and while I can't prove it I would assume he would have at least 1 more Super Bowl.

do you even consider yourself a football fan? how can you say that Brett Favre is over-rated? The man, is the reason why a lot of us are football fans... seriously, when you think about it, he brought life back into the pro game. he didnt do much to get himself notice like recievers and DBs but with his play, and his "F**K IT" style when it needed it, came out, it was clearly out of the genius of a kid who loves the game of football... so to say hes over-rated is saying that you dont like football... as much as I dont like payton manning, Im not going to say or think hes over-rated... hes prooven himself to be a great QB, so did Marino, Young, Montana, Moon, Unitis(sp?), Namath... Brett Favre is up there with those men. And I would put him up in the top 3 or 4 myself... he was that damn good. dont take offence or think im coming after you, but I just wondering how you can state that...

[Spur]

People hate on the worst, middle, and over-rated too

[reddot8481]

And if Farve had that recieving corp he would have gotten the records a few years ago and while I can't prove it I would assume he would have at least 1 more Super Bowl.

But what you also have to take in consideration is if they hadn't dismantled San Fran, then not only would Montana have had a 4 years with that receiving corp but that all the guys who made Favre's career, Meriucci, Holmegren, and Haskil would have never been in Green Bay to make him into what he was. Favre will tell you that without these three guys he would have never been half the QB he became.

[Spur]

Many others say the same as I

Favre was a great QB but they wouldn't put him in the Top 5

So plenty of knowledgable football fans put him outside the Best QB Ever talk

Nothing unreasonable about it

[Drunkeneskimofo]

I'd personally take the record books over what all these "knowledgeable football fans" have to say about it. Other knowledgeable football fans disagree and put him in the top 5 you know.

[SNEEZ]

Favre is good, but I too think overated. when he was good he was great...but when he was bad, even Rex Grossman looked better!!

face it, he wasa good player and will be mentioned in the same sentenceas but never will be better than Elway, Staubach, Montana, Young, Aikmen, (in the future)Brady, P manning

[Spur]

Other knowledgeable football fans disagree and put him in the top 5 you know.

And many other knowledable football fans disagree and do not put him in the Top 5

So, why is it so hard to belive the other side?

I personally laugh at people putting him in the Top 5

Obviously some laugh at me not putting him in the Top 5

So be it

Reasonable minds can differ

Yea, they're called Vikings/Bears fans

Elway did not win those championships, TD did. Aikman only threw 24 more TD's than Int's. Favre threw 124 more TD's than Int's. Plus Favre has a better career QB rating than Aikman. I can't argue about Young. I consider them bother to be equal.

I think the thing that seperates Favre from the QB's of today is that he could improvise. These QB's are nothing but automatons who plan every step. Favre never did that. He could pull something out of his ass that Manning or Brady could never hope to do. Plus he never had the talent around him like those two.

[WhyNotUs?]

So if it takes # of seasons played to make a great QB, then how come Vinny Testaverde didn’t even get close to Favre stats? (He started playing 4 years before Brett got in the NFL)

And yea Dan played more seasons than Favre, but Favre still beat all his numbers and got a ring...

I’m just saying to call Brett Favre overrated is erroneous….

He is one of the greatest QBs to play football... He played the game the way it was meant to be played, with passion and fun. Yea so he got a lot picks, but that is because he was never afraid to try and make the big play.

Brett Favre is the ultimate gunslinger and I am glad I got the privilege to watch him play

[CockyBoiler]

my fraternity brother grew up emulating brett favre, joking about how he did maybe 20 school projects on him. So when farve was supposebly retiring a year ago, he spent a chunk of his savings to fly up to green bay to see his last game...needless to say he is a little pissed to have seen that tickets worth diminish a little bit, but regardless, it says enough that people were desperate to see that kind of player atleast one time before he was gone.

of those names, i definitely put him over aikmen and young. i never saw staubach so i can't comment on him... the rest i agree with and i would throw marino in there too over favre.

[Spur's Addiction]

He is defenetly a hall of famer. I am not going to argue wether he was # 3 or #10 all time.

No matter - He loved tp play the game and enjoyed every minute of it. He has started every game since like '92 when Eli Manning was still in grade school. And he was pretty damn good at it too. And way better then any of us armchair QB's.

So why ruin his damn parade? Let the guy go out in style and celebrate what he brought to the game. TD records or int's, he is what any team looks for in a franchise QB, and if you disagree you are not a football fan.

Favre's top teammates:
Year - Running back, wide receiver
2007 - Ryan Grant, Greg Jennings
2006 - Ahman Green, Donald Driver
2005 - Samkon Gado, Donald Driver
2004 - Ahman Green, Javon Walker
2003 - Ahman Green, Javon Walker
2002 - Ahman Green, Donald Driver
2001 - Ahman Green, Bill Schroeder
2000 - Ahman Green, Antonio Freeman
1999 - Dorsey Levens, Antonio Freeman
1998 - Darick Holmes, Antonio Freeman
1997 - Dorsey Levens, Antonio Freeman
1996 - Edgar Bennett, Antonio Freeman
1995 - Edgar Bennett, Robert Brooks
1994 - Edgar Bennett, Sterling Sharpe
1993 - Edgar Bennett, Sterling Sharpe
1992 - Vince Workman, Sterling Sharpe

Are any of those guys superstars? Sterling Sharpe was the closest thing to a superstar that Brett Favre played alongside and that was only for three seasons.

Favre had no Jerry Rice, no Randy Moss, no Marvin Harrison, no Michael Irvin. Favre was a fan favorite and always will be. I think if he played with the same offense that Peyton Manning does or that Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, and Steve Young did, he'd have an even further lead on all those records.

skip bayless, is that you?

Oddly enough, I love Skip

Favre's final pass (for now): The INT that sent the New York Giants to the Super Bowl.

Great post. Not sure how one can dispute this.

[GamecockFan7689]

Brett Favre to me is one of the best QBs ever to play the game. That performance the night after his father died was the most emotional game of football I've ever seen played.

Over rated or not, i would take a quarterback that loves playing the game as much as brett farve over tom the dickhead brady anyday. Brett Farve is a class act, a great quarterback, and the role model that people look for in the pros. he may be the all time interception leader but the goods far outweigh the bad and ill be damned if he cant get a team to play around him, the team this year is a perfect example, he is a leader and an all around amazing person.

[Spur]

All-around amazing person? We are talking about the same person who refused to even speak to Aaron Rodgers for most of his first year, right? The same dickhead that wouldn't even talk to Aaron Rodgers most of his first camp and into the season? Who wouldn't even teach him anything because Favre is a cry-baby that gets mad whenever anyone remotely questions his decisions whether coaching wise or the media? The same guy who holds his team hostage the last 3-4 off-seasons until he feels like coming to camp? The same guy who threw his WR teammate under the bus during Walker's first big contract negtioation (nevermind that Favre had already been paid the big bucks)?

This angel image of him is a joke.

I will take Tom Brady and his attitude/love/whatever over Favre any day

Favre's image from most in the media is completely fabricated

Don't you think he may have earned it a little? These last few years haven't been the easiest off the field either. You've got to harden up a little bit when you have all the stuff happen to you that he has

Thats kind of funny because unless your the team squire isn't that where you recieved the mass majority of information in your whole argumentative paragraph above? Are those fabricated?
