He is a media darling who can do no wrong to them but is he really that good? His consecutive game streak is very impressive and he is a hall of famer but why do the announcers rarely talk about how much he hurts his team. The all time interception leader who throws 22 picks this year and still makes the pro bowl. I dont think I would rate him in the top ten all time. And definitely way behind Tom Brady

Brady will never reach 100 losses or come close to the int. record. But Brady does have 3 times as many rings as Brett and the supermodels. Glad ESPN had full coverage of Brett's 5th retirement yesterday.

I feel obligated to contribute to this thread being that I'm a Packers fan and always a Brett Favre fan.

I have to admit Favre definitley is one of those guys who has been around so long that he will eventually set records so it isn't as impressive as someone who does well early in there career, but you have to give him his props.

He does throw a lot of picks and as you pointed out is the all time pick leader, but he has also thrown the most td's, most passing yards, and career pass completions. And yes, I did wikipedia that.

The thing I loved about Favre though was that he was very exciting and didn't care about being making mistakes which made for greater moments and plays than Tom Brady can ever imagine.

Farve was a reckless gunslinger who pushed the envelop. On the one hand he is the only three time MVP and a Super Bowl Champ, on the other he is the career leader in picks. However, Farve will be the only first ballot Hall of Famer quarterback. So he gets a bad rap because he is always compared to technical qb's like Elway, Montana, Brady, Marino....

IMO Farve, despite all his faults, is easily in the top 10 and arguably top 5.

But I can see why many people think he is over rated. This argument is based on his career up until last season. Making the Pro Bowl last season was a joke.

Peyton is a 3 time MVP winner and a Superbowl champ/ SB MVP.

Warner is might be even more impressive a 2 time MVP, Superbowl MVP, 3 SB appearances with 2 different teams. Top three passing performances in SB history.
