[@ericthompson749]

I honestly agree, however one reason why I think he's this low is because he didn't have the eye-popping passing statistics when he is compared to some of his contemporaries that are in the Hall of Fame like Johnny Unitas & Fran Tarkenton.

I grew up with the Green Bay Packers, the stadium was literally in my back yard. Words simply cannot express what Bart Starr means to us fans. He embodied what being a legend means to us. He contributed so much, not just as our QB, but what he and Cherry gave to our community. His legacy with the Rawhide Boys Ranch has had such an impact on young, high risk kids, and he never passed up the opportunity to reach out to his community. The world needs a lot more Bart Starrs. My deepest condolences to his wife Cherry, his son, and all of their loved ones. RIP Bart. Heroes are remembered. Legends like you never die.

Joey...I agree. I think the reason he's so underrated is the fact that people think he was some kind of robot controlled by Lombardi. Not so...Starr (as well as Zeke Bratkowski) were very well prepared for every game and called their own plays, ran the offense. People mistake preparation for something else.

[@boneslee7593]

Favre

[@jeremythompson9122]

Starr didn't throw dumb interceptions in critical moments of big games like Favre was known for. Many very good Packer teams and a very good Vikings team died by Favre trying to be the hero and throwing horrible interceptions in crucial moment. Brett Favre cost Green Bay at least a couple Super Bowl berths with stupid turnovers....including the 2007 NFC Championship Game against the Giants when he threw it right to the Giants DB Corey Webster and ended up costing the Pack a Super Bowl berth. He did the same exact thing to the Vikings in the 2009 NFC Championship Game...throwing a horrible pass in overtime that was intercepted and ultimately cost the Vikes a Super Bowl berth. Favre is so overrated

Tittle, Sonny Jorgensen, Roman Gabriel, Johnny Unitas, John Brodie, Don Meredith...The outcome would have been the same. All that aside.
