he knows more than you, that's OBVIOUS.
Namath only barely completed over 50% of his passes for his career and threw more INT's than TD's.
facts are facts. namath had 3 or so GREAT Seasons, but overall he wasn't the same as good the others you mentioned.
I think supporting cast makes a big difference in ranking great QB's.
Young, Montana, Bradshaw have great receiver. They are surrounded by hall of famers.
Not a knock against them but that makes their job much easier.
Favre OTOH does not have the same quality receiver.
He improvised to help the receiver and he have to take more risky throw because of this.
With receiver like Jerry Rice, you just throw it in his direction and he'll snag it.
Favre is a great QB because he makes things happen.
Unbiased opinion from Packers Fans !

Ill always like Favre for allowing Micheal Strahan to sack him in the final minutes of the game so that he could have the sack record.

ya, strahan sucked so bad that he needed Favre help to get the record.
That record SERIOUSLY needs to have an asterisk next to it.
Agreed. If I remember correctly, Marino had the quickest release of any QB who played. Randall Cunningham (in his prime) was right behind him.
I read somewhere that Bernie Kosar was supposedly the most "accurate" passer in his prime. Saw a special on TV in which he was throwing passes through a tire consistantly at 60 yards.
Brett Favre, in my opinion, is just outstanding. I don't know about an "Immortal" though.
Thats what I meant about the ESPN article ! look at all the peope he's got on that list, and the ones who almost made it. It's rediculous BS ! btw, I didn't say Namath is the greatest quarterback in history, and there is a big difference beween a punk ass ESPN 'reporter' who read a sports almanac and actually watching people play the game. My picks were based on what I saw over the years.
Brett Favre rules. Just his starting streak alone proves how much of a warrior he is.
Favre did the most out of the weakest team.
Who was his best reciever? Sterling Sharpe? Antonio Freeman? They are both good recievers but man do they pale in comparison Jerry Rice and such.
HIs best running back? Anyone of them compare to Emmit Smith?
If you gave Favre the supporting cast these other HOF QB's had he definitely would've won more than 1 Super Bowl.

I think he's had some decent running backs. Ahman Green is good, and Dorsey Levens and Edgar Bennet weren't bad.
It hasn't been too bad the last couple years, but he has also had some pretty bad offensive lines too.
But the recievers have been scrubs. Freeman and Schraeder? I swear neither of them could catch. The new recievers of this year and last seem promissing, but they seem to get injured a lot more than you'd expect. It's scarey what Favre could have done with somebody as talented as Jerry Rice or Randy Moss.
