>>He is our generation's Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, and Roger Staubach all rolled into one.<<
Oh, please. Farve's been a great NFL QB, but this cult hero status and best ever comparisons need to stop, and stop now.
Farve has ONE NFL championship, while Unitas has three, Staubach two (with two near misses), Starr has FIVE, and the latter three won championships or got to the Super Bowl in years where they may not have had the best team. Staubach lead the Cowboys to Super Bowl 10 as a wild card, and Starr won the Ice Bowl year. Unitas won championships over a period of over a decade.
There's elite QBs like the three you mentioned, Bradshaw (mainly due to 4 rings), Montana, and Elway, with a few I've forgotten about. Farve ranks with the best of the rest category, including guys like Aikman, Young, Greise, Stabler, etc., but he isn't even the best out of that group.
Great QB? Yes. HOF? Probably. Elite (All time)? No.
Sorry.
side note.
I was watching an NFL film classic about Stabler. The guy would stand in the pocket like a statue for 9-12 seconds. Any success Stabler had was because of lineman like Upshaw and Shell.
Good Grief!
And Dan Fouts and Dan Marino have NO championships, does that make them any less great? Dick Butkus and Gales Sayers never won a championship. Barry Sanders never won a championship. Give me a break!
All are great great players. Farve has AMAZING resiliancy for a quarterback and is a tremendous leader over many years and is destined for the hall of fame. I stand by exactly what I said. He is one of the great quarterbacks of our time.
You have your opinion and I have mine.
