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.

Once again, I disagree. There are no veteran quarterbacks like him at all in this time. Especially since John Elway retired. Not silly at all.

To be honest, yes it does

Really? So every great player that is doomed to play with a weak team is less great? Fran Tarkington is a loser because he never won it all? Was Bob Greise a better quarterback than Fouts, or did he just play on a team full of all-pros? What would Marino have done behind the Cowboys' all pro offensive lines that protected Aikman?

As far as Favre being in the top 15, that is saying a lot. Matter of fact it puts him in the same league as the other great QB's of earlier generations.
