I think he's over-rated as far as all the "best ever" talk. When you start every game for 17 years you're going to rack up stats. He's lucky Mike Martz wasn't coaching the Packers because Favre would've been run out of Green Bay 5 years ago. And I don't even rate Pro Bowl awards, it's a popularity vote. Favre had no business being given a Pro Bowl nod last year. He was certainly a great QB for alot his career and I wouldn't try to take that away. But personally, he would have a hard time cracking my top 7-10 all time. To me, saying Favre is the greatest QB of all time because he has the stats is like saying Emmitt Smith is the best of all time because he has the most yards. Niether is the case IMHO.
