I have seen him in person, and he is as steady as a rock even when he gets picked as he does often enough.

I am fortunate to have seen such greatness.

Though he doesn't seem to me to be a better quarterback than Marino, the numbers don't lie. Favre could play until he is in his mid-fortys and still be in the top half of the league easily. He is an irreplacable face in this league.

Best ever...

Farve (yes farve... learn how to read your own name hick). Is going to set the all time INT record this year. Way to go, you held on to break some records....And you acted like a punk when you did it.

Brette was a joke this year but his recievers handed him the bad rep on a silver platter w/ a silver spoon.He had no one 2 get open so was forced to get rid of the ball in tight places, but now javon walker is gone and if Farve can pick up some recievers he will be back 2 only getting 1 int a game in stead of 5.

THERE IS NO OTHER NFL STAR THAT IS PLAYING THAT PLAYS THE WAY HE DOES ITS NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY SOMETIMES ITS IN YOUR HEART

Please don't retire!

The cocky Green Bay fans made me turn on Farve. That and his "duck" wobblers, or passes he chucks blindy in the air! The Packer fans are the worst, "YOU CAN'T BLAME FAVRE, HIS RECEIVERS SUCK!" "HEY MAN, FAVRE IS THE MAN!" "I'D LET BRETT FAVRE MAKE MY CHEESE WHOO!" The Packer ans are too loyal to Favre, and too hard on the team. He can do no wrong according to Packer fans. Now I usually love my athletes all American boys, however, Packer fans blindness, and the butt kissing media made me turn on Favre. There's no pocket awareness, no plan, he decides to chuck the ball in the air and doesn't care about the consequences. He may look the same, but he isn't the same favre we all knew in his prime.

Though his heart isn't in it like it was, this man was one of the best to ever play the game. He has nothing to be a shamed of if he retires on the note of how bad last season was.

If I was rating the Favre of yesteryear, it'd be a 4 or a 5. He's always been overhyped, but still not too far away from the hype. For example, Trent Green has a higher career passer rating, and not many people claim him to be the best QB ever, unlike Favre. That's what they call hype. Rating the Favre of today, not as hot, but still miles from sucking. If he were a young, developing QB putting up his numbers, he'd be a 4. However, he's a veteran who's probably on his last year, so there's less upside. At least he'll be around to give Aaron Rogers some pointers and quality time on the bench before he leaves. He's decided to very openly and smugly say that he isn't going to mentor Aaron Rogers... so much for the team leader image everybody portrays him having. UPDATE: Wow... Favre did God awful this year. He threw a total of 29 interceptions on the season, easily leadign the league. In his last 10 games he threw 5, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 4, and 1 interception, a total of 20 in that stretch. Mind you those 20 INTS would be enough to lead the NFL by itself. Hell, it was just as many INTs as Jake Plummer and Kerry Collins had all of last season. I don't think it's unreasonable to say Favre's better days are behind him.

Don't retier! So what if you had an off season, we all know that you can do well. We love you and want you to come back for another season!

The only reason Brette even got a 2 is b/c he is a gunslinger.He is the most overrated sports figure in the world.He leads the league now (Dec 21, 2005) with INT's(24) and is a career high.What's bad is i like Farve alot but i want to set the record straight and say he was good but not great, I don't care how many MVP awards he has won he has thrown at least 1 INT almost every game.

Brett's the toughest QB to ever play football, bar none. Who can argue with the consecutive games streak? Look at his numbers, a higher career completion rate then Marino 1 Super Bowl, 3 MVPs.. I mean the guy was unstoppable in his prime. He's not quite what he used to be, but I'd still take him over at least 26 teams starting QBs.

Too old to do what he used to, but will put up good numbers regardless.

Who doesn't love him. That sensodyne comercial is so lame, but it did make me go out and buy some sensodyne toothpaste. All on Brett's recomendation.

Brett would have fit right in during the leather helmet days and he's a Lombardi type of player. I enjoy watching him for his childlike enthusiasm and his willingness and ability to perform well with injuries and pain that would sideline most.

In my opinion hes getting better each year even at his old age its weird but usually quarterbacks get worse the more years they continue playing i think hell go around 62,000 passing yards before quitting.

Brett please try and go to the super Bowl Baby! call me at 464-3522 area code 831

Not as great as in the superbowl years, but still among the best.

The best! Besides talent, attitude, leadership, perseverance, and enthusiasm stats don't lie!

Favre has been over the hill and living on a gunslinger mentality for too long. Plus he has no class. His comments Thursday night on National TV regarding Aaron Rodgers... I have no responsibility to teach him.. typify the spoiled and selfish NFL player of today. He is just stupid and Bart Starr must be embarrassed himself with Favres idiotic comments & lack of class. Rodgers will replace him soon.....back to the cajun swamps wacko..

this guy has always had a gun, he is old now but still has a bullet if he were younger i would give him five. this guy is cool he will stand up to anybody, even if ur a DT,OL,or even a safety or linebacker, so go brett

brett farve is great he always helps his team the only reason the packers lose is there recives suck bad GO BRET

the way he played after his dad died really showed how strong he is

Brett, please retire already. You're interception prone and make the decisions at the most crucial time right now. I would have given him a 5 maybe 4-5 year ago.

Hall of Fame QB on the downside of his career and as of late an interception machine.

There is no question he is the best in the game right now. Not because he preforms the best, but because of what he is all about and love he has for the game, and what he does off the field with his family. When Brett retires, the game will never see a another player like him.

This guy has worked through a lot of things with his wife and his dad. I'm not even a Packers fan, but I love Brett Favre

Easily the best QB to ever play the game. And I'd dare say easily one of the 10 best players ever in the league. And I'm taking this way back to 1921, baby. QB argument? I'll cite the laudations of such greats as Marino, Theisman, Tarkinton, Starr, Young, Fouts, etc. whom have all stated the ole' #4 is one of the greastest to ever play the game regarless of position. Those opinions seem to not only outweigh whatever we say here, but cement the fact that Brett is in a legue of his own. Look, there are freaking linebackers such as Ray Nitschke and Dick Butkus that didn't play as many consecutive games as Favre. All 3 of those had major injuries at some point in their careers. But guess who suited up the next week. That's right. Number 4. I'm dreading the day when Favre isn't in the starting lineup for a game, as it will mean he's retired. I just hope it'll be another year before facing that. Good Christ that's going to be a hard, whisky-drinking day.

A true warrior, an American icon. He doesn't bitch about his injuries, he just plays through them. Plus he puts up great numbers despite losing his father and now his wife having cancer.

Great quarterback, unless you include self-destructing in the post season. Then he becomes the great Suck-o-matic.

I'm a Bears fan and I still like watching him play

Fantastic leader and Quarterback, as well as person. A lot of players could learn something from both the mental and physical leadership and motivation he provides his teammates with. A truly inspiring player and human being!!!!! Very comical as well!!!!! :) Go Brett!!!!!

best QB ever. Hands down

BV is the man. Hope he wins one more ring. Who says he's too old? Crazy talk!

Awsome QB. Has come close to holding some of the records. But sometimes lately he's been making bad decisions when he's under pressure.

He is two old to play in the NFL

He's an awsome QB. Although I love the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, I would love to see Green Bay do well in the playoffs. Brett Favre is a QB that has made some history and probally will continue to. He's especially playing well for his age (has been in the NFL for about 15 years). He makes some smart decisions on the field. Anyway, he has had about 40 or more consecutive games with one or more touchdowns (that record was washed away a few weeks ago by the Eagles).

Brett Favre is the best quarterback to ever play the game. Over coming all the tragedies in his life and still putting up the numbers he is is just crazy. This man is indestructable and unflappable and will in 2-3 years hold every quarterback record ever. Go Brett you son of a bitch

Brett is an amazing Quarterback. He is throwing as well as he ever has in his career. Now that he finally has a few receivers to throw to you'll see huge numbers. Even when he was throwing to no-name receivers, he made them look like pro-bowlers. He simply makes everyone around him great. Stick him with some already great receivers and you'd see ridiculous numbers. Plus he just makes the game fun to watch. He's like a kid out there. As long as he doesn't retire anytime soon, he will smash records

No question about it!

i love my ravens but i have to admit favre s probably the best quarterback to play the game ever, noone else could play every game through pain and heartache like that, hell be ahead of marino soon, he has no need to retire, common now think he led the league in td pasess with a broken thumb

I love Favre and the Packers. Brett still has a gun and can make all the throws. He doesn't move as well as used to but that matters little because that has never really been part of his game. Brett still makes too many stupid mistakes; ie throwing into double coverage. Still one of the best and he's one of the reasons why the Packers have been solid the last 10 years. Future Hall Of Famer without a doubt.

Brett Favre is the best period. First of all, the guy's entertaining. Back when Sapp was with the Bucs in Green Bay's division, Favre Stiff-Armed him to the ground while he was rushing him! And not only that, after the play, he'd get in Warren Sapp's face and trash talk him! Show me another quarterback that can pull that off successfully. Not only that, the guy makes throws no other quarterback can throw. And forget about everyone saying he throws too many INT's. Yes, he did throw some bad passes, but a lot of them had to do with his broken thumb. And at least half of those other INT's were either A. a bomb thrown on third and long (which really don't hurt you), B. thrown up in the air at the end of the half, or C. tipped off a recievers hand and then intercepted. At the end of the season, however, this stopped happening, and the recievers started to step up. Expect this year to be an off-the-chart year for Favre, because of how dependable the recieving corp has been lately.

Never count Favre out of any game. One of the smartest QB's going.

Brett Favre is a great quarterback who can throw far, and play hurt. Although he is past his prime, He still is an above average quarterback.

He was superb but we all can see his numbers are quickly shooting down.

How can you not like this guy. He has the heart of a true champion.

The fact that Marino, Tarkenton, Elway & Montana agree that he is the best, tells you something!

one of the best QBs of all time in my views except for john elway.

Favre doesn't make bad decisions, the Packer's D should of stopped the Eagles on that 4th and long. Favre has nothing to prove

Great heart and a great player but, as seen in last years playoffs he makes bad decisions.

one of the greatest QB'S Go Pack! Bears still SUCK!! Vikings blow!

he's really the ironman, hold consecutive start for QB though his thumb is troubling, and has family incident. at his age he still show lots of toughness and competitiveness. one of the greatest MVP in NFL

favre is the man. He has done it all. MVP and super bowl victories. Who can deny that he is the best player now.

Brett is the best ever. He's put up unbelievable numbers over his career and he would have more rings if it wasn't for the pathetic defenses he's been stuck with the last several years. When he had a good defense he won the Super Bowl and a year later, lost barely because Packer D couldn't stop Terrell Davis. The year after that he was on his way to another Super Bowl but was robbed by a moron ref who ruled Rice's fumble not a fumble. Last year was close, but again the Defense screwed up. 4th and 26! C'mon. Yeah that last throw of his was bad but it should have never gotten to that point. I feel so sorry for him being stuck with such crappy defenses all the time. He deserves better. I hope he plays a few more years. He's still the best. He lead the league in TD passes again last year. People that say he's washed up are on drugs. A few more years and he'll have every record in the book including Marino's career TD passes. Go Favre!

(every time you see a dash in this, imagine a swear. i had clean my language up for this site to accept my thoughts and comment on the greatest player ever) The single greatest player or man of all-time. He is the Packers. They should change their names to the Green Bay Favres. He is the toughest, hardest working, and best player in the league by far. vtsciencenerd is a moron. Favre lead the d--n league in touchdown passes with a broken thumb on his THROWING hand. Not many other QB's around the league would've even played. He has never had a losing season and has one of the best winning pecentages of any QB all-time. He has had no reciever to throw to ever (besides Sterling Sharpe for a year and a half) and he has consistently won. Anyone who does'nt give him a five knows abolutely nothing about the game and they should have prosthetic nuts sewn on because they weren't born with any to begin with. Those dumb-ss Bears fans are all giving him a one beacause Favre kicks their p-ssy -sses every year and we always make it to the playofs and they never do. F--k Off Bear p-ssies. Favre could beat you by himself playing offense and defense. Urlacher is a p-ssy. And who was your last QB? Kordell? Yeah that's what I thought. Favre's stats, streak, toughness, bad-ssness, and competitiveness speak for themselves. He is the greatest player, for the greatest franchise, in the greatest league, in the greatest sport on the planet earth. This makes him the greatest man in history. I can't wait until next year when he wins his 4th MVP and wins another Super Bowl, and shows all the p-ssies how it's down. He deserves more than a five, five thousand wouldn't even begin to describe how great the man is. Favre is God!

Possibly the greatest football player ever. Really has never had a great receiving core. This is no doubt the reason for a lot of his interceptions. He is the reason why the Packers have been a .500 or better team since 1992.

Anybody that doesn't give this guy a 5 is missing the boat.

He's agood qb but when he gets sacked he fumbles more then any other qb in the league and when his father died I have full respect for him but he didn't play well his team just supported him and did as well as they could to help him get through his father crisis

Simply the best

The streak, the MVP's, the Super Bowl, come on, who can hang with that?

Tough, tough, tough, competitor, and as smart as a quarterback can be. Perhaps the best in the game today, and among the greats of all time. There are few hearts bigger than this man, who puts up career numbers in a must-win Monday night game the day after his father died. A team player, in a way that I thought was almost dead.

Incredible. What a weapon. CRUSH the Bears!!
