Brett Favre:Greatest Quarterback ever?

[Rainbird]

It's a sad day in Wisconsin, Brett Favre retires from the Packers. With the way he played the game, the fun he had doing it, all his records and not missing a game in 17 years, he has to be know as one of, if not the Greatest Quarterback to ever play the game. What do you think?

In answer to your question...yes! It's exactly what you say, he brought fun. I feel lucky to have been a Packer fan for his era. I am very sad even though I'm a ways from Wisconsin, now.

Favre was great, but for pure excitement, watching John Elway, first in college, then with the Broncos, is one of my picks. Not a 49-whiner fan, but #16 out in frisco needs some votes for pure clutch.

Montana is the "Ali" of quarterbacks for his all around game and presecence on the feeld. But Fav-ray is right up ther3e.

I would think Brett would be "right up there" … he's broken every record in football!

"Favre was great, but for pure excitement,…". Give me a break; there's no but's about it—let's give credit were credit is do here!

"Brett Favre:Greatest Quarterback ever?" Does there really need to be a question mark?

Not every record, but close. I know all of Wisconsin is in mourning. I think he was wise going out on top. I know he wanted to win one more superbowl, but he had a great career! I just cannot imagine being able to retire at 38. I'm sure he'll make a ton more money with endorsements and will probably become a commentator this season or next. He was fun to watch and the Packers won't be the same without him.

I don't know about him ever becoming a commentator…with that southern drawl and all…

What is a "southern drawl" to a southerner?

Now, now, let's not let our heart get in the way of our brain. Absolutely, Favre is a hall of famer, a career with numbers and great suucess; but, let's not just look at the records he set. By many in the sports world, true success is measured in championships. Let's look at the rings-Montana 4, Elway 2 (one of Elway's wins was against the Pack and Brett), Bradshaw-4 Favre, uh, 1. Super Bowl apprearances: Favre-2, not bad. Montana-4; Bradshaw-4, Elway 5 (and three of those were with a god awful supporting cast). But rings don't mean everything, either. After all, Jim Plunkett has 2 and so does Roger Stabauch.

I really don't want to argue with anybody, and maybe Favre is the best ever, but it is not an open and shut case. It's what makes sports so fun, the opinions we all have!

For the Wisconsinites who are sad about Favre hanging up the shoulder pads. A song to touch your heart.
