Can't say Favre is the greatest, but he's definitely top 10.
___________________________________________________

So you claim Favre is clearly better than at least five of:

1. Graham
2. Montana
3. Starr
4. Bradshaw
5. Marino
6. Unitas
7. Luckman
8. Tarkington
9. Baugh
10. Kelly
11. Staubach
12. Aikman
13. Young
14. Tittle
15. Fouts

I wonder which of those five you would put him before and I could name others.

You left out Brady. Three Superbowl wins and 2 MVPs in those games. Unfortunately, Brady deosn't get the credit he deserves on a team with no "superstars." I don't think it is too early to put him among the top five. Unitas should be one or two.

Definitely before:

Starr, Bradshaw, Tarkington, Kelly, Aikman, Marino, Fouts, Luckman, and Tittle.

Not sure of your criteria. All of these were great quarterbacks. Some won Super Bowls/Championships, while others couldn't get over that hump. I know if I had an all-time draft, I wouldn't mind picking Mr. Favre for my team.

I would put Farve ahead of Tarkington.

Defintely ahead of Fouts as well.

I respect your long list of quarterbacks but startled by your low ranking of Unitas.
Unitas and Graham played in an era when quarterbacks didn't wear skirts. These guys took a beating. Without all the rules protecting quarterbacks today, Unitas still holds the record for most consecutive weeks with at least one TD pass (47), and he won the "Greatest Game Ever Played"
Unitas and Berry are still the best Q-back/Receiver combo. Most likely Manning will break Unitas's consecutive TD record, but he will do it on artificial turfs in his tutu.
Despite the advantages offenses have today Manning and Marvin Harrison remind me most of Unitas and Berry. Both teams are all business without the attitude.
Among Real quarterbacks Unitas will always be the best. Unitas also ushered in the modern day NFL after winning The Greatest Game.
God bless you , Johnny U. Nobody gave this young kid more heart attacks than you on Sunday afternoons.
