Brett Favre

They're has been a lot of discussion lately as to where Brett Favre falls onto the list of greatest QB's of all time. This discussion started when he "retired" and still continues despite him coming out of retirement and playing for the Jets. I have been a Green Bay Packers fan for my entire life, so my view my be slightly biased. However, this doesn't mean that I'm wrong about my view. When I started thinking about where Favre would fall onto this list I started at a rather modest 5 with Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and John Elway leading the pack, in no particular order. 

After thinking about this for a while I realized that all Dan Marino had were his statistics because he never won a Super Bowl. And after Brett broke them he should be bumped up a spot. So after this I started thinking about the others. Brett Favre has the record for every passing category (yes even interceptions) as well as being the most winning QB with 160 wins. There's also the fact that he hasn't missed a start since 1992, the number of consecutive starts is around 275 with the playoffs included (16 years!!!!!!). Additionally, he has achieved all this success without any other superstar players around him. Unless you're a Packers fan, its difficult to name someone who played for them before 2003. Montana had Jerry Rice and Elway had Terrel Davis. I would name someone Unitas played with but Im not that old. 

This along with being the only player with 3 MVP awards pretty much make Brett Favre the greatest QB ever. You know its true.
