>>There are no veteran quarterbacks like him at all in this time. Especially since John Elway retired. <<
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.
>>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?<<
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.
No I'm not. I saying that to demonstrate that he is unique and is comparable to the great quarterbacks I mentioned.

Wow, I am not a Vike fan, being a huge Bear fan, but I don't think that I would be so quick to say that. FT was a great great talent. I was able to see many of his games as he played in the Bears' division. I am not sure how he compares, but I wouldn't say that he didn't rank with the great QB's. He did some incredible things to get the Vikes to succeed.

I didn't respond to the Danny White reference, because it seemed unnecessary at that time, but since you insist, I am not considering him as he did not seem to be the extraordinary talent that these other quarterbacks were. Could White have survived behind the porous Packer line and take the pounding that Farve did? He put up those numbers because he had the people to If you inserted Farve behind his line and gave him Pearson to throw to, what might have been?
