Re: Now that Favre is officially done, where does he rank all time?
Somewhere between #5 and #9 all time, I would say.
I wouldn't rank him above Steve Young, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, or Roger Staubach, and then you would at least have to consider Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham, and Bart Starr right in there depending on how you value their era-dominant performances against the fact that they may not have stood out if they played in the modern era. Also, Jim Kelly to me is right there, neck and neck with Favre, and it'd be tough to pick one over the other.
I also think Peyton Manning will finish his career above Favre on my all-time list, and Tom Brady very well might also.
