If i hate anyone its Tom Brady but you see how i regard him Honestly BK is Favre your #1 all time QB after all the football youve watched over the years?

Nope I said from the beginning, my list starts with John Elway.

But I can easily see the argument you could make for Favre, and he's certainly an all-timer.

What are we arguing now?

It is debatable if Favre is the greatest, but he has the greatest time out there!

See, I'm like all those other media guys who slobber all over Brett's love of the game.

Who holds the record for most interceptions in a playoff game?

Let's see, another Bears fan with obvious bias.

Yeah, as a Bears fan, I can see why you would see more negatives than positives that Favre has given the fans.

He's also a first ballot HOF. Not bad for the leading INT leader in a playoff game, huh?

Elway made way too many plays that only he and possibly Randall Cunningham can make. In particular, he used to do this pirouette move to esacape a collapsing pocket and then he would throw a 50 yard seed on some guys breast plate. Elway made the field a lot smaller. And he would make these kind of plays a lot. There was one play against the Bears (87 MNF) where he was running to his right approaching the sideline then suddenly decides to throw it to a WR with a defender in front and behind him. The WR was about 35 yards down the field and throwing it side-armed he had to put enough on it for it to get to the WR before the defender behind the WR could get there and he had to also feather it in over the defender in front of the WR. It was an improvisation throw with minimal margin for error and he was perfect. Absolutely incredible.

I dont get it

We all agree that Favre isnt the #1 QB of all time, why do we have to be biased to say that?

As the fan of a divisional rival of his, I saw him make plays that I don't believe another soul in the history of the game could make, way too many times.

Nothing like seeing him fling a deep out to the wide side of the field across his body for a back breaking first down every other week, to break your spirit.

I wasn't specifically addressing you, I was addressing yves, who seems to adore coming up with negatives from the Favre era, one by one, which are fiction and non-fiction.

However , if I would be addressing you, you can't say over the last few years you've had bias against Favre, starting threads like Drunken Favre, how you seem to enjoy to capitalize Favre's INT record, etc........As the once talented Brittney Spears would say, Your not that, Innocent.


Even as a Packer fan, I wouldn't give Favre the number 1 ranking, but he's up there to discuss it.
