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.

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.

You said, "He is our generation's Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, and Roger Staubach all rolled into one."

That's not true as a statement of fact. As an opinion, its silly.

>> And Dan Fouts and Dan Marino have NO championships, does that make them any less great?<<

To be honest, yes it does. Both rank closer to Fran Tarkington than they do to the three you mentioned above.

>>Dick Butkus and Gales Sayers never won a championship.<<

I suppose you rank Danny White up there with Marino and Fouts? This is a TEAM sport, and TEAM wise, White has more accomplishments than either.

>>Farve has AMAZING resiliancy for a quarterback and is a tremendous leader over many years <<

I don't disagree with that.

>>destined for the hall of fame.<<

You're probably correct.

>>He is one of the great quarterbacks of our time.<<

Top 15 at best.
