Is it possible that the individual accomplishments that you are so focused on, are not the measure of the quarterback? Quarterbacks are looked upon as the leaders of their teams and have those intangibles that allow they & their teams to win. Are you suggesting that Favre never had a good team? The point is that he had many good teams, but did not create as many wins (or superbowl successes) in the same time as Montana. Favre was capable of throwing for 400/gm, but he also could throw incompletions or interceptions at the wrong time too.

Back to the original title. I'm glad he's gone. Rodgers sat on the sideline too long. He may even be an upgrade if he can pass with touch and smarts rather than just be a throwing arm. (Flame suit on)
