Brett Favre is the greatest NFL QB of all-time hands down!!! My favorite QB…Brett is the reason why I love the NFL! I never watched football or even cared about football until I first saw Favre play football in a Packers uniform! I am not a Packers fan. I’m not a Jets fan. I’m not a Vikings fan. I’m a Brett Favre Fan!

I’m a Pat’s fan. So I still hate Favre for the events of January 26, 1997. But yes, he’s been an unbelievable football player and perhaps the best ever. You would expect me to say Brady is better (and I will), but gd, 260 or whatever starts is simply unbelievable! How is that possible? I love the intangibles a qb can bring to his team, and this stat brings an intangible (toughness) to something measurable. all time leader in everything, including int’s. Like Cy Young, all time K leader and all time BB leader. Don’t like him, but gotta give credit.

And don’t argue Montana… I watched him. I loved him. But his legend grew more than it should have. Got Rice?

Favre is the ultimate fail when it comes to QBs. Dan Marino with a ring. No more no less. Far far and away the #1 QB with the MOST interceptions. Brady has three times as much in less than half the time. Sorry, Favre is OK, but definitely not the greatest.

Farve played with no names recievers???? Are you kidding me? Hello Sterling Sharpe, Mark Chmura, Antonio Freeman, Donald Driver, Javon Walker, all pro bowl wide recievers. Who here is exactly a “no name” reciever. To be the greatest you have to be great when it counts most and im sorry but Favre has thrown too many interceptions at key points of his career. Montana was clutch when he needed to be and never choked.

By the way. Im an Elway fan but even I will concede that Montana is the greatest ever. Elway is number 3 higher then Favre cause he did beat Favre in the superbowl in 98.

This article is ridiculous. Favre is not even a top 10 quarterback. The author uses aggregate stats and not averages, yet as he says below….

“Some might say he has failed as much as he has succeeded, and that is true. Favre has thrown more interceptions than any other quarterback in history with 312 interceptions. However, if someone does any profession long enough, they will have their good days and bad days.”

If the writer means what he says here, then why would his TD’s count for anything? By his logic, Favre has played so long, he’s bound to throw a ton of TD’s as well as interceptions.

Favre is a career 86.4 rated passer. He’s had only 3 (of 18) full seasons above 95. A full one-third of his career, he has thrown at least as many, and often more, INT’s as TD’s. Peyton Manning is a career 95.4 passer and has had 6 (of 11) full seasons above 95 and 3 above 100. He’s also only had 3 (of 11) full seasons below 90. Each has one ring. Manning has won with and without a running game and with and without a great defense.

As for Joe Montana?? Not even close. 4 rings. Career 92.3 passer and has never even approached throwing as many INT’s as TD’s. He’s had 4 seasons over 100. Favre has had 5 under 80 (yes, in the 70′s).

I now feel stupid for spending 5 minutes of my life responding to such an idiotic article.

The Minnesota Vikings are now 6-0, thanks to Brett Favre. He is such a great quarterback because consistency and his determination to win at all levels. Vikings, Super Bowl champs and undefeated season.

Favre was addicted to painkillers for a little over a year, went to rehab and has been fine since. That is hardly most of his career. Get the facts straight OK?

haha.. i agree with Brett B. Patrick you need to shut the “f” up and I gotta agree Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarter backs of all time. though he was stupid for not knowing what he wanted to do, whether he should retire or not… I mean gosh how many times was he goin to make up his mind???? I am a Packer’s fan and am very disappointed that he switched to the enemey… but Brett is still a great quarter back and he did help GB win a superbowl too bad he isn’t here to help us win more but for now until he decides to retire AGAIN… well he can just help the vikings out since they didn’t have a good QB until Favre enetered the picture. and as much as it kills me to say these words… I believe the Men In Purple can make it to superbowl this year with help from Brett and running back Peterson.
