I say that Brett Favre is the best there ever was. If he was on the field, regardless of the score, the Pack had a chance to win. You could feel it. And he delivered time and time again. He made everyone around him play better, and refuse to quit. I think his greatest play, was vs Denver in OT 2008 (I think '08). They have the ball on their 20, 1st snap in OT. Denver is in a "Tampa 2" defense with the safeties pinched to the inside of the field. He audibles BY LOOKING AT GREG JENNINGS! Everyone else was running the called play. Jennings looked at Favre before the snap and they both knew what to do: Jennings does a fly route down the left side of the field, Favre airs it out... perfect throw, 80 yard TD, game over. Packers win 19 Denver 13 in OT. That was greatness! They showed the play in the video but cut the pre-snap look. @@docsylva2876

[@waffles5433]

There is one quality Favre has had that no other great QB in NFL history will ever have: Exciting unpredictability. When you watch Brady, Manning, Montana, etc. they’re amazing but 80-90% of the time you went into the game with the mindset of they’re probably gonna win. With Favre you didn’t know what you were gonna get. He would single handedly win games he and his team had no business being in and lose games he and the Packers should have dominated. It always came down to him too: He would throw that winning TD between 4 defenders or throw that horrible pick right to one. Favre was the mystery box of NFL greats, and it was exciting to watch because you never knew what you were gonna get. Even when he lost or performed bad, the majority of the games were still exciting.

That's why we hated him chief.

[@ikigai47]

@@Wisconsam2117 - Obviously he felt betrayed by the Packers. You don't know all that went on behind the scenes. Given how he had no history of being difficult or a boat rocker up to that point, it's my belief he was told in so many words Aaron would get the nod and his initial reaction was to retire because he couldn't see himself playing anywhere else. Then he changed his mind and took it as "if they're going to shit on me, F em." After a stint with the Jets, he wanted revenge for casting him aside. Regardless if that's what happened or not, he didn't owe the fans anything. GB fans owed HIM. Petty reaction. Should have given him the benefit of the doubt knowing his history.

I had the privilege to see him play his whole career, the best ever!!!! Thanks Brett for the great memories.......I still can't get into the game watching Rogers play to this day!

[@paulgaither]

As a 49ers fan who grew up watching Favre crush our dreams in the 90's on several occasions... all I can say is how happy I am that I got to watch this man play football. Mad respect.

[@zackcantrell8836]

Brett Favre is hands down the best QB in all my years that I have watched football. You would live him hate him and jump up and down praising his name in a game. I don't think any other quarterback has ever captured a audience's attention as much as he has! Way to go Brett I know you'll be a he drive in many a young QBs hearts and minds for years to come.

[@justinhe8295]

his decision making was mediocre. had the golden arm but literally the most trigger happy qb of all time who didnt think twice or wait for any route to develop. Id say Tom Brady was the best QB of all time. Didnt have exactly the arm of Favre but his arm was extremely good and his decision making no offense was 10x better than Favres

Favre was a great QB. But part of what made him great was his absolute love for the game. He didnt just do it as a job, he did it because he really just had the time of his life playing.

I'm from Mississippi, I was 2 years old in 1991. I finally got to meet him when we were at a restaurant in Florida. We got him to sign his autograph with a crayon. He said " I've never signed an autograph with a crayon" His wife didnt really like it we came over, but who cares it was Brett Favre! Then the rest of the people started going over and taking pictures. We all know he still enjoyed it!

6:56 - Jerry Glanville, the Falcon coach who wouldn't play Favre and shipped him to the Packers for nothing, would go on to lose his job and become an "analyst", calls Favre a "wizard".

[@jamisoncarlson6003]

Like Randy Moss at 8:35, as a Vikings fan, you always had to watch the game when he was out on the field. I had a blast watching him as a kid against my team and when he came to my team (in 2009) I was skeptical. But after the "hail mary" touchdown to Greg Lewis (2009) I was in for a short, unforgettable ride that almost sent the Vikings back to the Super Bowl. Aside, all of the interceptions, Brett Favre was and is amazing! #favre

I’m a Viking fan so he drove me crazy for years, but 2009 was the most fun I’ve ever had in a season!

[@dalmaingrant2470]

My favorite QB of all time Bret made me fell in love with the game I loved his reckless style of playing the gun slinger mentality was fun to watch he was never intimidated by any defense

[@josephcox3091]

His numbers are stupid. Statistically speaking only 3 or 4 guys are better, but that is because they play the game in a pass happy era. He accumulated a lot of his stats during an era of football that was dominated by the run.

[@tombrady7039]

he played in a west coast system

[@cincinnatias]

I dont understand the logic in that saying. Montana played in an era that was dominated by running teams but Montana threw the ball more any other qb. Same with Marino, Elway and the chargers qb Fouts. They threw more than any other qb's in the league, so to say that it's a pass HAPPY league today without saying that those qb's of another era were also pass HAPPY is to discredit everyone who isn't your guy.

[@cincinnatias]

@AnEn had Marino, Montana or Elway played as many season as farve, their numbers would be high as well. So much love for farve is on the regular season stats, look at his playoff stats/wins/losses/td's-int's compared to other qb's and then tell me where does he rank.

[@cincinnatias]

@AnEn lol, hold up, the spiderman avatar has it's meaning to me, it's not for you to like. And a pass happy era? Did farve not pass the ball more than other qb's in his time? You don't accumulate 300+ yrds by only passing less than 25x a game, that west coast system was pass happy, and statistically speaking isn't Brees ahead of farve in everything, while playing against other pass happy qb's. You like farve to be your qb in the 4th qtr, I dont.

[@cincinnatias]

@AnEn I haven't went back, but are you the one who compared farve numbers per season by saying that farve had multiple season throwing more than 4,000yrds while Elway, Marino whoever had way less seasons of throwing dor those yards? I simply said that farve had many seasons of 500 passing attempts while Elway, Marino did not attempt that many, either you or the other guy who argue Favre's stats say that the qb's now play in a pass happy league but you leave out that farve threw the ball more than his counterparts. In Favre's 3 mvp seasons, what other qb threw the ball as much as he did, so who played in a pass happy era? My last response to you, it took you a whole day to try and find a argument to come back with lol. What other qb's threw the ball as much as farve did?

[@garyevans3421]

Farve had a lot of great recievers, but for those tough tight games, it’s a shame Strerling Sharpe was injured out of football way too early. Sterling was truly a great reciever.

Wow what a career. But man those interceptions vs Giants in OT and vs Saints in 4th qtr are so much painful to happen in championship games.

[@ravendon]

Naw. Packers were shit until Mackowski and Favre turned it around. 30 years of losing. Favre led them to back to back Super Bowls, a Super Bowl win and many winning seasons. Packers screwed up by not giving him elite players. Same thing they are doing to Aaron Rodgers. I'd take winning and having a chance to win a playoff game to never making it to the playoffs at all.

[@xnreyescj]

His last throw as a Packer, Jet and Viking all ended in back-breaking picks.

[@adamduerwachter2596]

[@johnw5584]

The excitement on his face when in his first start he brought the packers back against the bengals, he had a childish exuberance, just for the joy of playing. The announcer, Jim Irwin, when he said the pack could win if they scored a touchdown in just over a minut, had a sarcastic tone then...but who wouldn't, a rookie can't do that.
