Brett Farve may not be the best quarterback in history but I can guarantee you that he had the most fun.

My favorite player of all time. This was a guy that could take ass beating after ass beating from every elite defense and still show up every Sunday, doing what he loved the most. When Favre went on to the field, he played his heart out and left everything on that field. There wasn't a more entertaining quarterback around to watch, growing up. Favre is the reason fell in love with football and in my eyes will always be one of the greats.

[@wblake22]

You took all the words out of my mouth. He's my favorite player of all times and the guy who made me love football. I never got a chance to watch him play live, so I couldn't miss his retirement. Just wish the Packers could've won the game with me and Brett there

@@JSalonsky Exactly. He won early on but and the team did diddly squat afterwards. Now if he won 3 or 4 Super Bowls instead of MVPs, then he’d be in the conversations of the best but the MVP awards aren’t on the same level as rings are. Getting rings is the ultimate goal. If I were in his shoes and it was my call, I would swap out the MVP awards for rings. I’d do it in a heartbeat.

[@bryanlopez4994]

Should have won one with the Vikings but my favorite quarterback to watch and I’m a dolphins fan and loved Marino but farve was my favorite !

[@bryanlopez4994]

@DW. He should have won but threw a bonehead interception at the end of the game but can’t take nothing away from Bree’s and the saints that year .

[@ninjadudeman01]

When people say that Starr is the greatest Packers QB ever I beg to differ as a GB fan, Favre brought greatness back to Green Bay, before Favre we were in a 20 year drought, after him we've been a playoff/Championship team every year for 20+ years, that's greatness.

[@CrysisOwnsHalo]

Yeah about the last part, although that can mostly be attributed to Aaron Rodgers and a playmaking defense.

[@1perfectstrangerr]

Before Starr, GB had not had a wining season in 11 years... they were on the verge of dismantling the team and folding... Under Starr, GB went on to win 5 titles in a 7 year span, including a 3-peat....{They came within one play of doing it twice......} They were a true dynasty and the team of the 60's. Favre's Packers were a good team in the mix every year but by no means a dynasty.... ONE ring was all he could muster... should have won 4....I'll take Starr's 5 rings over Favre's one ring any day...

[@eternalthread7846]

1perfectstrangerr I think that was mostly the work of Lombardi

[@kaybevang536]

Bart Starr was more of a game manager and doesn’t do amazing stats unlike Farve and Rodgers but hey he’s good enough to be an elite player

[@tempest20000]

1perfectstrangerr 90s Packers could have been a dynasty if Sterling Sharpe didn’t have his career ending injury.

[@sirsaint88]

Very few QB's left with an arm like his, not to mention with the guts and toughness he had.

[@lorenpingle5350]

0:42 I love that music playing, as throws that bomb to Taylor.

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

For many of the older folk, he is their football hero. A lot of younger folk disrespect him, but there's a few smart ones like myself that wish they were alive to witness prime Brett Favre. I rank him as a top 10 Qb all time.

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

1) Brady 2) Montana 3) P. Manning 4) Unitas 5) Graham 6) Favre 7) Marino 8) Bradshaw 9) Starr 10) Staubach

[@345optimusprime]

Man, he was my favorite Quarterback growing up as a kid. The main reason I love football so much even today I know people re going to say how he isn't worth rank 20, but he basically took a beaten and didn't have good teams like Peyton manning, or another quarterback.

[@joshf5347]

I would say he is a top 10 QB, but not a top 10 player,

[@michaelneyman3458]

I love Brett Favre. He’s a top 10 quarterback in my mind. However, I’d say those late ‘90s Packer teams were better than most Peyton Manning’s Colts teams. Brett Favre had good coaching, defenses, and a great cast. Peyton had good receivers, but the coaching was a rollercoaster and he had some rough defenses. I’d say Peyton is better.

[@1terraforce]

Michael Neyman late 90s teams? No, mid 90s team (94-97) yes! Outside of that, Favre didn't have a lot. 94-97 packs were great on both sides of the ball, but outside of that they've had just as bad of defenses and coaching as colts did in the manning era, and manning played in the AFC south which has been a cheesey division for a long time! Manning has always had a better supporting cast in every position on offense, with the exception of rb, then what Favre has had and manning had it for much longer. Not saying manning isn't better, but he's never had to struggle with consistent playmakers. I will say manning is better only because he studied it so much where as Favre treated it like backyard football

[@jeremythompson9122]

Huh??? He ALWAYS played on good teams other than that one year with the New Jersey Jets. And year after year he cost his team in the playoffs with retarded interceptions at the WORST times. Great in the first half of his career but not the second half

I still remember him getting knocked out and had a concussion. The doctors kept him out for ONE play. First play after coming back in, it was a 4th and 2, so naturally he throws like a 30 yard TD.

[@marknan5352]

He broke my heart a time or two , but i never he could get it done. Other quarterbacks are clinically better but no one played with a bigger heart. Would be fun to be in a huddle with him. Go Pack !!

[@JohnDoe-fo3fn]

Aaron "Flacco" Rodgers really makes me miss Favre. And that's as a Bears fan. I never saw Favre yell at a teammate in the middle of a game for making a mistake. I never saw Favre handicap his team with a primadonna contract. Brady, Brees, and Rivers are the last of the breed of QBs who wanted to win, not simply make big bucks.

[@JSalonsky]

My heart hurts that Rivers never won a championship he was such a great competitor to watch.

[@ianthompson3038]

My first football jersey was a Brett Favre #4 jersey. The packers also won the Super Bowl when I was born. January 26th 1997. I liked the packers because of their colors when I was younger. Then I switched to the panthers because all my neighborhood buddies liked the panthers. In the end, I’m a native San Diegan and the chargers are my team whether I like it or not but boy do I still love that green and gold.

[@Jason-to5cs]

Those records really didn't hold up well. It's been just over a decade and he lost most of them first to Manning, then Brees, then Brady. But he'll hold the INT record forever. No way a modern coach would survive putting up with that.
