If the Vikings win the Super Bowl - is Favre the G.O.A.T?

[DoubleDeuce]

Why are we even arguing? Everyone knows Brodie Croyle is tougher than all these clowns.

[Goober]

My top 5:
1) Elway
2) Montana
3) Unitas
4) Manning
5) Favre

Alan Page/Jim Marshall was hit on EVERY SINGLE PLAY.

Payton played the games most grueling and violent position. He missed 1 game in 13 years.

No coincidence that Walter Payton, Brett Favre and Steve McNair are all from South Mississippi. There are some tough football players in that part of the country.

[FirstTimer]

Im guessing you pulled the whole most "violent and grueling position" from a documentary or NFL Films Presents, but the O-Line & D-Line is the most grueling and violent position and that is on EVERY SINGLE PLAY.

Actually no, I didn't. Runningback is widely seen as that position because of the high impacts thoe players take on nearly every play whether it be running or pass blocking. Also because of the fact that it has the shortest average life span for an NFL player mainly due to the larger injury risk at the position.

Its just in my mind toughness is all about going out there every fucking day and doing work.

OK, and Payton, Mrashall, and Page did that at more physically demanding positions. I'm not saying Favre isn't tough. He is. Buthe is not "tougher" than Payton, Marshall, Page, or guys like Butkus, Nitschke, Lambert etc that played in more violent eras.

Marino...?

[NAHSTE]

Brett Favre says that his 308 consecutive game streak makes Jack Youngblood's 201 game streak look like a pussy.

Somewhere, Pat Tillman thinks they're both pussies.

[Nukleopatra]

lol @ some motherfucker listing Joe Namath.

The guy should be neg bombed to oblivion, then banned.

[Woy]

Somewhere, Pat Tillman thinks they're both pussies.

I have his jersey in the back of my closet at home, I think.

[Goober]

Marino...?

Get off Marino's jock. He never won a thing, and Favre and Manning will have all of his records when they're done.

[Liquidrob]

No, but a case could be made I guess

I still rank Elway, Marino, Montana and Manning as the best

[SuperKevin]

Marino would have won more if he had better weapons around him. He would have killed to be able to have Antonio Freeman, Robert Brooks, Dorsey Levens, and Mark Chumura on his team

[Philly Diehard]

Get off Marino's jock. He never won a thing, and Favre and Manning will have all of his records when they're done.

I guess showing that you forgot Marino clearly means that i'm on his dick. Forgot that :club:

He's better then Favre, were talking about players, not superbowls. As a player Dan Marino was better.

[EmpireWF]

to the thread question, hell fucking no.

Favre isn't even the best QB of all-time, let alone the greatest player period.

[Tailback U]

I understand how great of a QB Manning is, but his playoff record pales in comparison to some of the greats. His playoff numbers are not good enough for me to call him the greatest QB of all time. That said, he is the greatest regular season football player of all time.

If Favre wins the Super Bowl this year, he will undoubtedly deserve to be in the discussion. You must also take into the fact that he missed all of training camp and went 12-4 in the regular season at the age of 40. The guy is easily one of the most special football players to ever play the game. Where you want to rank him is up to you, but there's no way any of you will ever forget this guy for the rest of your football watching careers.

[Liquidrob]

I love how QB's are the only players who get wins
