[QUOTE="Quientus, post: 256155, member: 1834"] One of the reason why *I* don't consider Bart Starr as great as Favre is simply because of the development the NFL has taken in terms of overall competitiveness when looking across the number of teams in competition ... At that time there were what ? 22 Teams ? And lets face it ... in those early days, the professional football wasn't as "big" as college ball was back then ... That's not in any way meant to diminish what Bart Starr accomplished during this career, nor how good the Packers at that time were. But in terms of "determining" "Greatness", I would say given the overall competitiveness of the NFL from that time to now, - I would say that what Favre has done, more than merits him (Favre) being considered "Greater" than Starr - But in the end, it's really hard to compare those two, because the game itself has changed enormously from the 30's till now ... Not to mention that "greatness" and how we, as fans view it, will *ALWAYS* be biased because we will eventually always "favour" those we prefer ... My personaly top 3 "Great" quarterbacks would be : Peyton Manning Brett Favre and Dan Marino ... I don't consider Tom Brady in the same league as those above, because when it comes to Brady, more than anything, I personally, see Brady being successfull mainly because of his coach and the system in which he plays ... - Brady, while being a good leader, just isn't in the same league as those I've mentioned above ... Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Dan Marino are (and for Marino were) all GREAT leaders, who actually, despite "less" talent around them *still* are (were) able to perform at a very high level ... - really "shouldering" their respective teams, where as Brady just doesn't have the same abillity ... More than anything, I consider Brady's success to be more because of Belichick and Belichicks ability to coach, muster a team than anything ... Brady is still a great quarterback, but he just isn't as "great" as those 3 I mentioned above, in my opinion ... [/QUOTE]
