Heck, he was running back, quarterback and he kicked the ball some too.I think Favre should be on the list, but I also think his longevity played into many of those records, so I don't pull all the weight in "records". Championships, however, mean something. For instance if a guy is a starter for 17 years and wins 1 Championship compared to a guy who is a starter for say, 3 years and wins the Championship every year he starts, I would give the nod to the guy who knew how to win it.Starr won Championships. Not only did he win Championships, he called most of his own plays. He carried himself with poise on the field and not panic. He was a field general. Therefore I'd put him at number 2 behind Lombardi who helped Starr and many players become who they were.Lombardi gets number one, not only because he knew how to win, but he also helped the NFL a great deal when they were going through the troublesome AFL  introductory years. To add to that Lombardi was on the cutting edge of civil rights. There is a whole lot more to Vince Lombardi than winning championships regardless of the quote everybody throws around out of context.</blockquote>
