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.

Now, you're dancing around. Originally, it was Unitas, Staubach, and Starr. If I recall correctly, the last season any of them played football was 1979. As far as NOW, that's a different issue and doesn't speak to whether Farve compares to the three mentioned. Please keep your eye on the ball.

I didn't call FT a loser; I said he didn't rank up there with the great QBs. Only a died in the wool, and blind, Viking fan would disagree.
I noticed you didn't respond to my Danny White reference. If championship don't mean anything, then White is a top 10 QB of all time. Look at all of his stats relative to percentages. Except for one tackle by a 49er defender on Drew Pearson, Danny White, rather than Joe Montana, could be talked about among the greats.
No serious NFL fan would rank him that high.
