who is the greatest quarterback in NFL history?
So many different ways to judge them, so few votes...
Hmm...
I went with Montana; can't believe Bradshaw wasn't listed.
I go with the guy who lasted the longest, was the toughest and holds all the records!!
Me!! :D :bananen_smilies046:
Favre.
How do you figure that?
Most TD passes: 442
Most passing yards: 61,655
Most passing attempts: 8,758
Most wins by a starting QB: 160
Most consecutive starts, quarterback: 253 (275 including playoffs)
Most 3,000-yard passing seasons: 16
Most consecutive 3,000-yard passing seasons: 16
Most pass completions: 5,377
Most seasons with 30-plus TD passes: 8
Most consecutive games with a TD pass, postseason: 18
Most NFL MVP awards: 3
You guys keep debating!
I gotta go to work now!
Have fun!

C ya squirt!! :bananen_smilies046:
I guess I just don't think SBs is the only thing that makes a QB great. I am not saying that Joe is no good, but Favre has pretty much every statistical record. It's kinda like Jerry Rice then everyone else shares second place n the record books.
I love Favre but went with Montana. I don't judge just by his records because you can't know what Joe would have done if he or any others would have done had they played 17 years. Longevity doesn't equal the best IMO. Toughest yes!! What were their numbers after 10 years? Favre might not be in the top 5.
Well, I guess if you take away one of the things that makes Favre the greatest then you could argue that. Fact is Favre played 17 years and never missed a game. EVER. So yeah, I guess that shouldn't count. Joe didn't playy 17 years, couldn't play 17 years. It's not just longevity that I am counting, but it does count for something.
Kinda surprised to not see Peyton on there. Last year he was getting in that discussion.
