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)

Nothing to flame about. Favre's record speaks for itself. You must not realize that Favre is the all-time leader in NFL wins and far ahead of Montana in that stat also.
If you actually think that Favre had the same type of players around him that Bradshaw and Montana did...then you certainly have that right to incorrect.
Just imagine what #4 would have done with Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, John Taylor, Freddy Solomon, Russ Francis, and Dwight Clark catching his tosses. Or with players such as Lynn Swann, Rocky Blier, John Stallwroth, and Franco Harris all together for a season on his team.
