And it was a viking fan who had to mention his name as in me. Sounds like there is alot of young Packer fans on here without mentioning his name. Those are the real glory days of the pack since Green Bay is called Title town because of guys like bart Starr and not Brett favre
So, Favre the Best QB of all time?

The game has revolved for the hundreth time, Not the same NFL or football in general in that era. Bart Starr was before your time so really you have no knowledge of Bart Starr and what he accomplished. Just looking up stats is not telling the story as back in the day running the ball was how the game was played.BTW the NFL championship was the SuberBowl so you discard Starr's titles in those games? The Superbowl name was thought up by Lamar Hunt to pit the AFL champion against the NFL champion. Bart Starr won those titles so you can't discard those

First ... Since you seem to like the "Age-Card" ... it's *Evolved*, NOT "revolved" ... - which implies something totally different ...
Second, I'm not looking at stats alone ... - Granted that Bart Starr won 5 (NFL) Championships ... - which of those 2 were "Super Bowls" ...
- However as I clearly wrote in my post ... out of 6 Play Off Appearances ... - where as the previous 3 were only ONE single game played to determine the "Winner" ...
It would actually indicate that *during* those 6 Play Off seasons ... The Packers actually had a pretty DOMINANT team (compared to the rest of the NFL *back then*) ..., because out of 16 Total Season ... The Packers *back then* "only" (but still very impressive) "only" went into the play offs 6 times ... Not to mention the (relative) low amount of Winning Seasons ...
For some one who tries to be condesending ... you are not doing a very good job at checking your *own* "facts" ...
The Packers since *That Time* has NEVER been as dominant, save for maybe a couple of seasons all together ...
Which is why I *still* rate Favre as the "Better" Quarterback when comparing him to Bart Starr ...
*Edit*
- I may be from Europe ... But to think that makes me "ignorant" of Football ... would be a mistake ... Especially when it comes to the Packers ...
Aw lol oh-oh the spelling police is here, since your just a young puppy you have Favre is the greatest but really Green Bay was title town when bart Starr was the QB so really your stas do not compare as Starr threw about half as much than Favre and back in the days rules have changed with the roughing the passer calls and the pro QB-WR calls downfield. Favre would of got picked off alot more with the defensive play of that day.

You forgot to mention that Starr won both SB MVPs the SBs he played. He was the BEST PLAYER OF THAT GB PACKERS TEAM! And also that he has the best playoff rating of all qb of any time... HE IS THE BEST QUARTERBACK IN THE PLAYOFFS OF ALL TIME!
It was a good compilation, but you need to portrait the whole picture.
Opinion is an opinion, if you think Favre was better, that's fine. But present all the stats. Do not just "cut" the Championships he won. Do not just "cut" the SuperBowl MVPs he won. And, for the sake of mantaining you credibility, DO NOT SAY THAT WHEN FAVRE WON IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIM, AND WHEN STARR WON IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE TEAM!
1996 SB WINNING GB PACKERS:
#1 Defense
#1 ST
#5 Offense (#5 in passing, #11 in rushing)
It seems, to me, that when he indeed won the SB, he concidentally had THE BEST defense and THE BEST Special Teams in the league...

How many of Bart Starrs games have you seen, because I've been very priviledged to have seen some of them ... As well as spoken with several people who were actually present during those games also ...
Again ... I didn't just look at the stats ... I was looking at the context of the stats ...
Just because I'm younger than you ... doesn't mean that *You* *might* know more or better than me ... when in fact ... your postings would suggest that you don't ...
NOR am I saying that *I* know more or better than you ..., however, IF you are going to argue your point ... atleast try to be more factual and less condecending ...
No wonder you guys hate viking fans after reading Quientus and jeffQuery. Those two are a trip. They end their posts like they have won an arguement with no room for debate. Sad thing is those guys have most likely had no idea who Bart Starr was until the googled his name
Sure you were

I think you are confusing *my* post with someone elses ...
I've just argued as to *why* I think and consider Favre a better player ...
7 Play Off Appearences ... - out of those 7 ... 5 resulted in a Championship Win ... - That would suggest a pretty dominant team in those years ... especially considering they were (almost) consecutive ...
Comparing that to the 1996 Team ... - Yes the 1996 team was Great ... and they were great in 1997 - and could have won a 2nd Super Bowl as well ... - Only Denver and Elway were the better team and player on *that* particular day (I remember that day very well, because I was deployed in Bosnia at the time, and we were only a handfull that rooted for the Packers ... among 500 other US Marines ... haha)
However, looking further ... NOT since then ... did the Packers have such a (apparently) dominant team ...
Again ... I'm looking into the context of the stats ... not *just* at the stats ... - which would actually seem that you are doing more than me ...
1) I'm not a Vikings Fan ...
2) I'm a football fan ... who have a few teams I prefer more than others ...
3) Obviously you don't read all too well ... Because if you did ... You wouldn't be spewing forth that nonsense ...
4) Just because I wasn't born when Bart Starr was active doesn't mean I haven't watched some of those games he played ... - Your rebuttal is quientessential of those that cannot continue to argue or discuss a topic in a "sober" and coherent manner, without becoming condesending (because you are older) and think that just because you are older, that you know better than those that are not the same age as you ...

You do realize there are those people who still have (film) footage of those games ? ... - Same people who were actually watching the games at the stadium ... and who have been Packers Supporters for as long as I have known them ... And those are the same people whom I visit a couple of times every year ... and every time we discuss football ... and I get to "pick" their minds and hear their experiences ... and they tell it with such enthusiasm that you think you had been there ...

Bart Starr had #1 Coach of all time. We can sit here all day and bring other factores into all of the states and wins.
Here is a question: Who would you rather have Russell or Jordan?
Different sport but there is a correlation.

I don't really consider any SB MVP as much as a regular season MVP ... Because the MVP Title during the Super Bowl is a "one game perfomance title", as well as being somewhat about popularity also ...
I didn't just "cut" the titles ... however, when the championship is decided in ONE single game following the regular season ... with no "quarter finals" or semi finals, I just don't "value" those as much as when a team has to win several games consecutive to even be able to contend in the Super Bowl, nor the (todays) NFC/AFC Championship game ...
In essence that would be discussing this:
Imagine if the Packers (with Favre) had gone into the NFL Championship game based on the regular season alone and only had to play one single "make or break" game ... in order to win or lose the Title ...
Just as if people were saying the opposite about Starr ...
I've not once contested the greatness of Starr ... - Even though you certainly seem to try to think I did, - I was giving *MY* reasoning and arguements as to *WHY* *I* consider Favre to be the better quarterback of those two ...
I see, Sorry i think tour lying if your trying to tell me and everybody else that you have studied Bart Starr by watching old films. Those old films are hard to come by since the NFL owns those old films.( Not too many digital cameras back in the day) I was in the stands watching Starr and your were hearing about those games from enthusiastic fans and you have the upperhand in a strong arguement for Brett favre?

I really don't care what you think ... - Whether or not you believe me or not, is really besides the point ... As there is no way I can convince you.
I've never said *I* had the "upper hand" ... in any discussion, however, I was arguing your retorics and logic ... - And whenever people does that ... you most often start to become condesending and "better-knowing", using your age as the reason, - and that is just not enough ...
#1 coach of all time? Wow, that is a reach of epic proportians. Lombardi was a great coach but Landry,Grant,Parcells,george Allen and countless others could be in the mix for that award

Ok, I'll indulge you ...
While I can agree on your arguement on Tarkenton (- however still I don't think Tarkenton even comes close to Favre ... - Not to mention Griese, I'm really surprised you would even bring up those names, when we are discussing "All time Greats" ... - but those 2 I atleast can understand ...)
But please tell me as to why you would include Stabler, Plunkett Jurgenson and Killmer in this same arguement ... Honestly it sounds like more and more that you are are arguing, just to argue a point, rather than argue something factual and specific ...
because at the time they were way ahead of the curve and won Superbowls(except for tark and plunk). Bradshaw has a hand full of rings and favre does not. I am just trying to say you could fill in the blank as great QB's in the NFL. Namath,Unitas are acouple more names along with Young,Montana,Simms,kenny Anderson,otto graham so really to Put Favre at the head of the pack of all time great QB's is being short sighted
just want to say Skol..
I knew you could be a great poster here!

Unitas ...
Again, those 2 I can actually understand ... more than Tarkenton actually ..., however ... Simms ??? Kenny Anderson ??? Otto Graham ???
You aren't even looking into the context of stats, but merely putting out names, just for the sake of arguement ...
Again ... Seems like you are more trying to argue just for the sake of arguement than anything ...
I am just saying you can't compare great qb's as those guys that you are dismissing are HALL of FAME qb's which makes them pretty good. And most have the rings to back up their claim. I am not argueing with you but really too many things to look at to pick the greastest QB of all time.So far on this poll he is loseing so I would guess most are opening up their minds instead of saying their favorite QB as you seem to be

So many variables, I couldn't say.
Favre, personally, has a problem though if the Queens flop in the playoffs.
All the money in the world doesn't match the ego. He gave up the idol worship for this opportunity. Will it be worth it to him?
Maybe a Super Bowl makes it worth it, but anything less, whoops.

Super bowl or bust? The Vikings have a shot this year but I doubt it will be seen as a failure if they come up short. with the pack and Bears loseing today i would say the Vikings have the north but we have to get homefield advantage to have a shot.
