Montana, Unitas, Elway, Marino, Bradshaw. How's that for a top 5 for openers? That's with spending about 30 seconds worth of thought on it.
Favre isn't even the best Packer QB of all time. That would be Bart Starr.
By the end of their careers, Brady and Peyton Manning will pass Favre on the all-time list. IMO they've both done so already. Kenny Stabler was better than Favre, and so were guys like Steve Young and Troy Aikman. What Favre has going for him is longevity, whereas Young and Aikman had their careers cut short by injuries and concussions. Namath may be overrated in the minds of some, but don't forget he played his entire pro career on not one, but two bad knees. Favre isn't as good as Namath, even with Joe's knees. He's also benefitted by playing in a crap division. Since Favre came into the NFL, Green Bay is the only NFC North team to win a SB, and only the Bears have appeared in another one. How many times have the Lions even made the playoffs? Every NFC East team has appeared in one, and 3 out of the 4 have won one.
You want to go back to the days of Sammy Baugh and Sid Luckman, or just stick with the Super Bowl era?
