INHO If Brett Favre plays 4 more seasons, he will be the greatest qb of all time.

Maybe you can explain how people get FARV from 'Favre'? Are football fans predisposed to dyslexia?

favre is already one of the greatest.

but he'll need like 10 more years to touch any of marino's numbers.

I was looking at that not so long ago and he is not that far off on a bunch of them. He also has alot more playoff experience than Marino, superbowl experience than Marino and a superbowl ring. I think he is already better than Marino.

I'm a temporary Cheeseland refugee from the Detroit area. Dudes! Favre is a god up here. I was trying to watch coverage of the Piston's totally cool win over the Lakers and they led the sports report on the evening news with "the Packerzone." Highlights of minicamp.

I'm going to buy our first kid a Lions cap real quick.

dude, what numbers are you looking at?



TOUCHDOWN PASSES: Dan Marino 420, favre - 346

YARDS PASSING: Dan Marino 61,361, favre 45,645

PASS ATTEMPTS: Dan Marino 8,358, favre - 6,464

COMPLETIONS: Dan Marino 4,967, favre - 3,960

and the superbowl thing is crap. teams win superbowls, not players.
unless you think trent dilfer is as good a quarterback as favre, (better than marino) since he's got a ring too.

I really respect the fact that he has been with the Packers his whole career. He wouldn't fit with any other team and I hope he retires from the Pack.

I won't buy into the whole professional sports thing. Most people can't even afford to take their family to games any more. College Football! That's where the excitement is!

I imagine if Bret had the likes of Duper and Clayton running down his bombs,, his numbers would be alittle higher.

favre is a great quarterback.

but if he had duper and clayton his numbers would not be higher.

bubba franks, javon walker - he had some guys to throw to.

but if marino had any kind of running back (like a. green)

or any kind of decent defense (packers always have a solid D.)

then marino would have 3 or 4 superbowl rings.



joe montana is an incredibly overated Q.

if you take a great offensive line, brent jones as tight end, jerry rice on one side, taylor on the other side (duper or clayton couldn't hold either one of those guys jocks)

then put roger craig in the back field. put in rathman too.

then you have one of the best defenses of all time with guys like ronnie lott


and then at quarterback you put in....
my dead grandmother.

that team will still make it to the playoffs as a wildcard.

montana, schmontana. puhleeze.

liz, you don't start a thread like this and then back out whining about the gipper.

this is about great quarterbacks (and montana) now.

is it fuego? dam right. you can call me a pinko-commy-liberal, or an athiest that's gonna burn in hell for eternity. i won't take it personal. just don't #&%!$ with marino.

LOL! I figured if Bush could be compared to Hitler by Twinks.... well, Favre could be compared to dead, pseudo football player "The Gipper" (aka Ronald Reagan). I mean.... who knew where that might go????

phhhhhhhhhhhhht!! Go have at it yourselves. *rolling eyes*

(Matt will probably blast this thread to smithereens anyway, cuz it's a "knockoff.")

"The Gipper" was kind of a decent sportscaster back at WHO in his day (that's in Des Moy-Nez to you coastal people like MarkO who have no clue! heheheheee)

I haven't heard Favre on the air for his delivery. ;-P

Favre survived a tornado. "The Gipper" survived a radical daughter.

Oops, I better be comparing "apples to apples." Lets put it this way:

Favre survived a tornado. "The Gipper" survived a whirlwind daughter.

How's that?? (oops, I'm killing my own thread!!! eeeeeeeeek!! LOL)
lizs

but who was better...

marnio in ace ventura ?

favre in something about mary ?

now that's a tough call.

both can't act worth #&%!$, but their roles were pretty funny.

i also love in little nicky, when marino's talking to satan, trying to sell his soul for a S.B. ring.

If you folks will remember, the Gipper played for Notre Dame. THAT'S COLLEGE BALL. How did you folks get sidetracked on Favre?
