So if we list by interceptions (in terms of being an "interception machine") this is how the Quarterbacks would be listed (worst -first, to best - last);
1) Bart Starr Td vs Int 0.908 - Retired
2) John Elway Td vs Int 0.753 - Retired
3) Brett Favre Td vs Int 0.638 - Active
4) Kurt Warner Td vs Int 0.615 - Active

6) Drew Brees Td vs Int 0.546 -Active
7) Joe Montana Td vs Int 0.509 - Retired
8 ) Peyton Manning Td vs Int 0.495 - Active
9) Steve Young Td vs Int 0.461 - Retired
10) Tom Brady Td vs Int 0.440 - Active
And just to mix in a few other names aswell:
Johnny Unitas Td vs Int 0.883
Joe Theismann Td vs Int 0.863
Fran Tarkenton Td vs Int 0.778
Troy Aikman Td vs Int 0.855
Don Majkowski Td vs Int 1.015
Ben Rothlisberger Td vs Int 0.638
(same as Favre, - I guess "Big Ben" is an "Interception Machine" ?)

- Dang ! Manning is an "Interception Machine" !!!
This is something that puzzles me, because I've never once heard anyone label John Elway, nor Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, Joe Theismann for that matter, not to mention Troy Aikman as an "interception machine", however, if that is what Favre is, then the same must be applied to them ?
Again, I reiterate, I'm not saying he doesn't have flaws in his game, however, that is how he plays, and have played for most of his career ... - It's part of what makes him so exiting to watch ...
But to use simple-minded arguements, without looking at the stats in context nor making the effort to actually look them up to see if they actually substantiate your claim, just make those that use them look all the more foolish ...
