Favre's WR through out his time in the NFL were WAY better than Elway's, Montana and Aikman had good WR's and TE's usually. But come on Elway didn't have much, I don't know how old some of you people are but I'm in my late 30's and I can remember Elway taking his team to the Super Bowl 3 times in the 80's with teams that had NO REASON being there.

They always got crushed, but he single handedly lead them there, the joke used to be "How many Broncos does it take to change a tire, one, unless it's a blow out, then the whole team shows up." So spare me your poor "Frave has had a bunch of nobodys to throw to." I suppose all these pro bowl apperances don't mean anything.

PRO BOWL

1992,93,94 Sharpe WR
95 Chumura TE
96 Keith Jackson TE
97 Cumura TE
98 Antonio Freeman WR
01 Bubba Franks TE
02 Donald Driver WR, Franks TE
03 Franks TE
04 Javon Walker WR
06 Driver WR

You are wrong; these were all nobodys until Favre made them pro bowl receivers

One could easily say Favre was a nobody (wallowing on the bench in Hotlanta) till a trade and Sterling Sharpe made him an all pro QB.

Warren Moon was f-in incredible.

How about Dan Fouts? Air Coryell was the shit.

My all-time is still Favre

Staubach, Montana, and probably soon to be Brady once he is retired.

Being a Pittsburgh fan myself I was glad to see Bradshaw finally mentioned on page three. He did win 4 Super Bowls in 6 years and I think 2 MVPs(Swan & Harris ?). I also love Marino, but I think it's obviously Montana(HATE the 49ers). Brady and Manning may enter the arguement later.

Whil Bradshaw wa a winner for sure, his career stats are merely pedestrian at best:

Year Team G Att Com Pct Yards TD Int Rate
1970 Pittsburgh Steelers 13 218 83 38.1 1410 6 24 30.4
1971 Pittsburgh Steelers 14 373 203 54.4 2259 13 22 59.7
1972 Pittsburgh Steelers 14 308 147 47.7 1887 12 12 64.1
1973 Pittsburgh Steelers 10 180 89 49.4 1183 10 15 54.5
1974 Pittsburgh Steelers 8 148 67 45.3 785 7 8 55.2
1975 Pittsburgh Steelers 14 286 165 57.7 2055 18 9 88.0
1976 Pittsburgh Steelers 10 192 92 47.9 1177 10 9 65.4
1977 Pittsburgh Steelers 14 314 162 51.6 2523 17 19 71.4
1978 Pittsburgh Steelers 16 368 207 56.3 2915 28 20 84.7
1979 Pittsburgh Steelers 16 472 259 54.9 3724 26 25 77.0
1980 Pittsburgh Steelers 15 424 218 51.4 3339 24 22 75.0
1981 Pittsburgh Steelers 14 370 201 54.3 2887 22 14 83.9
1982 Pittsburgh Steelers 9 240 127 52.9 1768 17 11 81.4
1983 Pittsburgh Steelers 1 8 5 62.5 77 2 0 133.9
Career Totals 168 3901 2025 51.9 27989 212 210 70.9

A career completion pct of 51.9, 212TD to 210Ints ratio and passer rating of 70.9.
Certainly not the NFL's greatest ever.

For those who argue someome like Brady doesn't belong in the discussion because he was lucky to play on good teams, this is the guy who really deserves that label.
He's in the HoF because he was on 4 SB winners...as a pure passer he is not in the top 20 all time.
Calling his own plays and so forth are a plus, but most QB's did back then, and guys like Manning and Brady audible so much these days that they are pretty much doing it.

Troy Aikam most definitely.. Started way at the bottom and rised to the top. Three Superbowls, should have been four. But Favre is awesome too.. I know sterling sharpe was one of his weapons...

Because it's boring......sorry.

I see the push to get soccer popular in the states but I really don't see it taking hold. We're a Football / Baseball country. To each their own.

fanch75

For now, I will say Montana.

If NE wins it all again this year, I will change my answer to Tom Brady.

Fifteen years from now, BRIAN BROHM.

Thirty years from now, Brady Brohm (he's only 3 years old, give him time).

I never said Bradshaw was the best ever. And I don't believe that Brady belongs in the argument because his career is not over.

Bernie Kosar!! ......... NOT!

Without a doubt it would have to be Joe Montana!

Man you must have a huge man crush on Favre, yes he is one the best QB's to ever play, but to say some of these players were all nobodys until he "made" them pro bowlers, give me a break. Franks and Walker were both very good college players at Florida State and Miami and were both first round picks, it's not like they came from the arena leauge and Sharpe had good stats before Farve ever got there.

1988 gnb | 16 | 4 -2 -0.5 0 | 55 791 14.4 1 |
| 1989 gnb | 16 | 2 25 12.5 0 | 90 1423 15.8 12 |

| 1991 gnb | 16 | 4 4 1.0 0 | 69 961 13.9 4

Elway had 2 WR's Anthony Miller 95, Ed McCaffery 98 make the pro bowl his whole career and 1 TE Sharpe 92-98 go to the pro bowl.

in my lifetime id have to say montana. . .dont gimme no lip

Favre!
