Nope, everyone should know that Joe was the best. No question.

Favre.

Favre.

Faav-reh was great. Joe did not have a cannon for an arm and accomplished more.

No doubt about it, Joe was a great field leader.

He saw things that were invisible to the average NFL QB!

Favre just did it for so long I gotta give it to him.

I guess it depends on what you base the question on. IMO, Joe was better because he had more supa bowls, he led one of the greatest dynasties of all time, and most importantly, he was a Chief.

I agree with the Chiefs part, but a QB does not win the SB alone. Joe's dynasty was pretty good around him too (not that Favre never had any help) but the numbers speak for themselves. Look at how they play the QB position and Favre has done it all.
