Greatest QB of all time
I am a lifelong Packer fan, but Favre doesn't make my top 5. I have him 6 or 7.
To me, Brett Favre is the "Arnold Palmer" of the NFL. Fans love him, relate to him, and like his hard charging style. Jack Nicklaus was a better golfer and made better decisions than Arnie. Jack's meticulous style helped him win more majors (the key tournaments) but was not more beloved than Arnie.
Personally, Favre's performance in big games was sporatic at best. The best players have their biggest games (Jordan, Bird, Magic, Tiger, etc) on the grandest stages. That wasn't Favre.
1. Joe Montana (calm and cool...no interceptions in 4 Super Bowls)
2. Tom Brady (incredibly calm, throws an absolutely beautiful football)
3. Johnny Unitas (I have limited footage, but he revolutionized the position)
4. John Elway (the complete package)
5. Peyton Manning (definitely one of the smartest QB's ever...a bit too jumpy at times and the big game knock)
6-10...Otto Graham, Favre, Marino, Starr, Staubach
