[QUOTE="Packer Fan in SD, post: 586151, member: 8810"] Favre had a better defense early, but less offensive talent. Sterling only played a couple of years, and those years rivaled the best ever, but then it was Brooks ( only a couple of good years) Freeman (did nothing away from Favre) Schroeder, Beebe, Rison as receivers, Bennett and Levens as rb's (combined just about equal to Ryan Grant's career), Chmura (never to be faced with a HOF presentation) at TE with Keith Jackson for two seasons (one good full year). Defensively there was a ton of talent. As the defensive talent started to dwindle, Favre had to be more of a factor. And he was until the mid 2000's. He, like Rodgers, made receivers look a lot better than they ever did elsewhere. I think Rodgers will go down as about the best QB we have seen, but Favre was a heck of a player. 3 MVP's in the mid to late 90's. He was the player that made that team so exciting and he was why we were in 2 SB's. And remember, defenses were allowed to mug the receivers and hit the QB's then. Both players were/are great. Each accomplished greatness in their first 100 games. Now one has the chance to rewrite QB history, if not in sheer numbers, by changing the standard we use to judge them. We have been priviledged to be able to watch them both here. [/QUOTE]
