brett favre…?
even if you don’t like brett favre, you gotta respect the man. yeah, he’s got a lot of INT, but he’s also got a lot of TDs. when you think green bay packers, you think brett favre, not vince lombardi or bart starr. the guy is one of the toughest to ever play the game. he’s left a strong and lasting legacy. where would you rank him among the all time greats? and should he be a first ballot hall of famer?
Lots of people still think of Lombardi when they think of the Packers. Lombardi’s Packer legacy leaves Farve’s in the dust. Of course, one would need a good history book to know that, ESPN doesn’t talk about Lombardi.
Farve is over-rated, but only because he’s been called the greatest QB of all time, which he isn’t. He is a great, great QB however, and he will be a first ballot HOF’er. The football HOF has screwed a lot of players in terms of the amount of time it took some of them to get in, but I think that Farve will be voted in as soon as he becomes eligible for the honor.
In terms of where I’d rank him among the all time greats, I would put Montana, Unitas, Bradshaw, Staubach, Marino, Brady and Elway ahead of him, at least…there might be a couple that I fogot about, but not too many that I missed.
Farve deserves a lot of credit for his streak as well. Most ‘streak’ records really don’t mean anything, and maybe this one doesn’t either, but I still have to respect the fact that he went out there for 250+ games in a row (including playoff games) …even if he does only play once a week LOL
Seriously, the streak is impressive.
In terms of QBs who won only one championship as a starter, Farve is probably as good or better than any of them. He’s certainly better than the one-year QB wonders (i.e. one-time Super Bowl winners) of the last 20 years or so… Thinking about other QB’s who won one championship as a starter (during the Super Bowl era), the best of them include Joe Namath, Ken Stabler, Joe Theissman and Len Dawson. I’m inclined to think that Farve is better than any of them.
He’s been a great adn durable player for a long time, and has been one who it totally indespensible to his team.
