Which quarterback will eventually beat Brett Favre's record(s)?

it will be many years before those records are broken

You'd have to be more specific on which records you're refering to. Brett Favre has so many that I doubt ALL of them will be broken, espescially a few of them.

Career Passing Yards - 61,558

I'm pretty sure he'll hold onto this one for a while, but eventually, Peyton Manning will break it. My guess is around 2014.

Career Touchdown Passes - 440

Again, this'll probably be Manning who takes Favre off of the top spot. He is, after all the closest active player at 303. But seeing as how Brett is still playing now, and I don't see him retiring after this season, I think Manning will wind up just short. And no, Tom Brady won't come close to Favre. He hasn't been tested for longevity yet.

Career Wins - 159

Well, Geez, you think the way the Colts and the Patriots are racking up wins lately, he'd lose this spot for sure. But my guess is, no current quarterback will beat him.

Consecutive games started - 252

Brett is THE Iron Man. End. Of. Story. No one will ever beat our boy for toughness and staying on the field.

Peyton Manning has the best chance, but it will not be easy. Currently, he is pretty far behind in all records, and I would expect Brett to play at least 1 more season, possibly 2. That will pad his numbers even more and make it harder to catch him. Tom Brady is the next closest after Manning, but I think the only one Brady has a shot at is career wins. Statistically, other then this season,he hasn't had that great of stats. The current records he holds are (as of 11/27/07)

Career Passing Yards 61,558

Career Passing Attempts 8,747

Career Completions 5,368

Brett Favre has 7 more years in the NFL, and sitting on the bench his first year in Atlanta hurt his stats. If you look at the averages, Peyton Manning is on track to beat every one of Favres records, if he plays as long as Favre does.

Here are their averages per season

Favre - Manning

3,621 - 4,153 Passing Yards

514 - 539 Passing Attempts

316 - 345 Completions

29 - 30 Touchdown Passes

9 - 10 Wins

15 - 16 Starts

Peyton Manning will beat all of Brett Favre's records... sad to say but true. Although I do believe that if New England keeps good receivers around Tom Brady that he will take the yards and touchdown records from Manning.

Peyton manning has the best chances of beating Brett Favres records. Even though his favorite target marvin harrison has showed some severe signs of aging and they have finally established a run game peyton manning still has dallas clark and reggie wayne and a coach that puts the ball in his hand so in my mind Peyton Manning is the closest active player to beating brett's records. But how lucky are we to be alive to watch Brett Favre play.

Manning has the best chance of current players but the cards are against him. I know looking at his stats now and what he has done average wise each year, Manning looks like he could pass him. But he'll have to have the longevity. And that's a very rare trait and I can't see Peyton not getting hurt as the Colts age and because he's immobile. So it could be some guy 50 years from now. The start streak will probably last forever. Or should I say 4-EVER!!!

If I had to pick someone it would be Peyton Manning because him and Favre run the game very similar. Plus, he isn't too far behind Favre in some records such of Consecutive Starts.

But I think it will be awhile before anyone breaks his records, if they do.

The way they keep changing the rules to help offenses, I wouldn't be surprised to see Rex Grossman end up with better stats than Favre. It is really becoming a joke.

If Manning and Brady stay healthy they have a chance.
