Brett Favre Best QB ever? yes?

you shouldnt super bowls in this question b/c that is a team achievement. look at dan marino he never won a super bowl but Trent Dilfer & Brad Johnson did and that dosent make them better than dan. MVPs & stats is the best way to judge this question so that makes Brett Favre the best QB EVER. For people who say Brett has thrown to many int Unitas and Marino also top the 250 int mark. and for the people that say he just played to long,Favre-18 Montana-16 Marino-17 and remember the first year favre sit the bench in atlanta. ESPN says 4th.

    Time vs. Quality

    He has played long but does he put on the best show?

    Dan Marino never had the complete teams that Montana and favre had. Marino was def the best quarterback ever. Yea he never got his ring. He also never had the help that montana and favre had. Marino virtually broke every passing record in the nfl books. If he had gotten a ring he would be without a doubt the best ever, and there wouldn't even be any arguments. And Marino retired after 16 seasons. I think favre just finished his 18th. So he even had more years. Even though favre sat a year, its not an excuse. Put it this way, if Marino got a ring, he would be the Michael Jordan of Football.

    His stats alone state that not only is he the best quarterback not to win the Super Bowl, but he is the best quarterback ever to play the game.

    And even though you cant take anything from brett favre, he def hurt his name a little by playing for the jets. He should have taken the money that the packers offered him to stay retired. Ten million sounds more than good enough to me to sit on the couch for the next ten years. Way better than the entire jets locker room blaming favre for not getting to the playoffs. the jets weren't a playoff team. And unless they make some fast hires, they wont be next year either. Thomas Jones should keep his mouth shut along with the whole locker room. Sorry Thomas, yout not as good as your brother julius, and you got your first pro bowl season this year. He should keep his mouth shut

    NO absolutely not and yes superbowls must be included because it is what you play for in the nfl not stats and not mvp's.

    But if you want to look at stats and mvp's then let's

    Interceptions- Brett Favre (310) 2nd is george blanda with 277 to give you some context Montana had 139 and Elway had 226.

    Most passing attempts Favre 9280 more than 1000 more than second place marino at 8358. Its really easy to throw for more yards and touchdowns and yards when you have 1000 more attempts.

    Most interceptions in a playoff game: 6 Brett favre vs. rams

    Most Playoff INT's career: tied 1st Favre with 28

    Most career playoff losses: Favre tied 1st with 10

    Super Bowl MVP's the most important mvp awarded in a season shows personal performance in biggest game.

    Montana - 3

    Brady - 2

    Elway - 1

    P. Manning - 1

    Aikman - 1

    K. Warner - 1

    E. Manning - 1

    Favre - 0

    Now lets look at his playoff performance this decade

    2009 61.4 qb in last 5 games results in no playoffs

    2008 vs. NYG INT by Webster in OT ends packers season

    2007 no playoffs

    2006 league leading 29 int no playoffs

    2005 vs. MIN favre 4 INT lose 31-17 to 6th seeded vikings who backed into playoffs

    2004 vs. PHI "4th and 26" game Favre INT in OT leading to winning field goal for PHI

    2003 vs. ATL Favre 2 INT one lost fumble 22 yr old Mike Vick and Falcons advance

    2002 vs. STL Favre 6 INT (playoff record) Rams destroy packers

    2001 no playoffs

    2000 no playoffs

    So as you can see Favre is not only used 1000 more attempts to achieve his records. He never had it when it mattered ending his team's season on a regular basis with a

    vintage clutch INT. The stats and MVP's dont lie as you said

    and these stats are undeniable,

    FAVRE IS NOT EVEN A TOP 20 QB ALL TIME

    properly, while you're speaking approximately good now, then the consensus winner(s) for the superb QB ever might the two be Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas. Frank Tarkenton, John Elway, and Steve youthful are additionally on occasion seen as QBs interior the acceptable tier as properly. yet, in terms of Brett Favre, i think of he would be put in conjunction with the 2nd checklist of QBs I named with Tarkenton, Elway, and youthful. he's a huge QB, has a large and long profession, and has relatively particularly better with age. the main important rationalization why i don't see him becoming to be the "marvelous QB ever" is by technique of the fact he has basically gained a million great Bowl. Now, i've got faith that the superb QB ever would be Peyton Manning. yet, he has basically gained a million great Bowl good? properly, i think of he is going to end his profession with 2 or 3, and could play into his 40s like Favre. Manning is larger than Favre, and that i've got faith will constantly be interior the communicate of being the superb QB ever. additionally be conscious how i did not checklist Marino in the previous. it is by using fact Marino is extremely in between the two lists. He grew to become into by no potential statistically reliable as Montana or Unitas, yet having a 15-0 checklist would not injury your resume, good?

    No. He was an exciting player to watch for the plays he made under distress. He is in the top 25 easily and an argument could be made for top 10 but not better than everyone else.

    You also lose the ability to have a voice in this due to your complete lack of forming proper sentences, paragraphs and spelling.

    No Favre isnt the best of all time, I think Marino is better, Bradshaw is better, young is better, Aikman was better, elway was better, heck I even think Brady and Manning are better then him

    No.

    In the Top 10? Yes

    In the Top 5? No.

    as it pertains to skill its no doubt Peyton Manning. but as it pertains to skill and success it would have to be Montana. and Brady could be up there but i would say matt cassell success sort of tarnished bradys record. it seems like anybody does good under Bellichek i mean look at kevin faulk
