Yes he IS that great....but.....his ego has bit him in da azz in the NFC championship games (i.e. that uncalled for interception which led to loss last year!!!). If he stops trying to grab headlines in big games there is no stopping him, but he loves headlines. Why else would he retire year after year?

Elway won his Super Bowls in his lowest output years. It's not about greatness, it's about team in the NFL.Comment -
I called the Viking training camp headquarters today and offered my services....told
them i would be willing to go to the airport and pick Favre up when he flys in on
his private jet......
That way, Chili can stay at camp and spend his valuable time on devising offensive plays
for Favre to use in the upcoming season......Comment -
Favre Good, Not Great
With all due respect, Brett Favre is a compiler. He has had a nice career. However, he is not the greatest ever. He is not even in the top 5. Is he better than Peyton Manning? Joe Montana? Tom Brady? You have to have Super Bowls - notice the "s." Exceptions can be made for the Peyton Mannings and Dan Marinos. Favre has far too many INTs. I use to bash Manning because he was being anointed the greatest ever by the media without winning consistently in the playoffs. Very good signal caller, but at the end of the day, he could not lead his team to victories against the Patriots in the playoffs. I like QB's that consistently win when the games matter most. My top QB's are Montana, Bradshaw, and Brady. Other QB's have better season stats, but you play to win Super Bowls. Trent Dilfer is a garbage QB with a ring, of course he is not better than Marino, Moon, etc. I had to say that to avoid that conversation getting started.Comment -

If that is what matters Ben Cheeseburger has to be right up there.Originally posted by PAIComment -
yeah he is periodComment -
The Favre Monster is back in Minneapolis and I dont think he is here
to see the White Sox battle the Twins for the division lead...
He will probably head back to the Vikings....play some games...throw some TD's and throw
a lot more INT's....completely suck a$$ in a playoff game ..and collect millions of dollars and then
fly back to Mississippi...
What more could a hillbilly want ?????Comment -
I think you have to consider him top 10 all timeComment -
He is that great and he most certainly is a top 10 of all time. This doesn't mean that he isn't a piece of shit and that he isn't tarnishing his reputation but hey he obv doesn't care so screw him.Comment -
Best thing Favre can do is help teach the new young vike QB Jim Bell a few things...Comment -
Well jw it looks like us minnesotans have a little more hope this season...although I don't think favre will be nearly as goodComment -
YesComment -
tired of his drama-play or don't. to leave the team hanging every year is a dick move imoComment -
You don't know that. You would have said the same thing last year and look how far he led the Vikings last year.Originally posted by JW CashComment -
he has proven himself plenty of timesComment -
Thank Jerry Glanville! According to him, if he had not kicked him out of Atlanta, farve would still be drunk at the end of one of the fine establishments in that fine city. greatness usually comes with heavy drinking..Comment -
I am not sure what the truth is, I can however tell you that Chili Joe's is one of the many PEDs that Floyd Landis accused Lance of using. There you have it, eat at Chili Joe's... have a HOF career. simple science.Comment -
C'mon man Manning is way better than Brady. Manning had to score 35 points to win playoff games, Brady could get by with 17 sometimes. They both have that killer instinct at the end of the fourth quarter, but when the pass rush is getting there, Brady makes mistakes that Manning doesn't. Also it seems in recent years that Brady's seemingly psychic ability to know when a blitz is coming and what the coverage schemes are is fading (cough, cough).Originally posted by PAI
If Brady can win a super bowl post spygate, I might respect him a little more.Walter forgot... when you're desperate's when you got no choice.Comment -
Brett Favre is back.................all is well with the world....................

The stats don't support your argument. Manning is a choker in the playoffs, he doesn't even have more wins than losses. Brady had a bad year last year, he'll be fine after being another year removed from his freak ACL injury. Let's look at the stats, I'll throw Favre in there to stick to the spirit of this thread:Originally posted by icancount2one
Playoff numbers:
Favre 13 wins 11 losses 5855 yards 44 TDs 30 Ints 86.3 rating
Brady 14 wins 4 losses 4108 yards 28 TDs 15 Ints 85.5 rating
Manning 9 wins 9 losses 5164 yards 28 TDs 19 Ints 87.6 rating
As you can see, the ratings are about the same with Brady throwing less picks, but also less yards, probably from playing with more leads. The big one is wins and losses. Maybe Brady was lucky to be on such great teams with such great defenses, but that number is hard to ignore.Comment -
Brett is going down this year. Of course, I made that bold prediction last year as well.Comment -
this year should be good gauge of how good he is. Vikings have a tough schedule.Comment -
of course he is! one of the best athletes/warriors to ever play ANY sportComment -
Favre is light years better then any other options the Vikes have. and as far as is he great? I dont like the circus hes put on the last 3 years deciding if or if not he will play, but he is still a top 10 QB in the league even at 40 years of age. He compares to most of the multi Superbowl QBS you mentioned other then MontanaComment -
I just want to see Favre beat the Green Bay Packers TWICE again this year..
then I will be happy...Comment -
Ha Ha...same here JW!Comment -
He looks good in jeans though.Originally posted by JW CashComment
