Starr won more NFL Championships and was two time Super Bowl MVP. He had a better pass/interception ratio and called all of his own plays. Starr won five NFL Championships second only to.....Tom Brady! He won three NFL Championships when that was the biggest game and then won two more NFL Championships followed by back to back Super Bowl wins. That would be the equivalent today of winning 5 Superbowl's. Three of the Championships were consecutive. When it was Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung tearing up defenses, Starr had no problem letting those two have the limelight. Team came first.

Farve was exciting to watch and in the modern game he was amazing. Maybe he could throw further than Starr, but he also threw a hell of a lot of interceptions doing that. Loved watching both men play and I am lucky to have done so. Farve was my favorite of the two just because he was a gunslinger.

I remember when Paul Hornung, the golden boy, with the golden arm, fresh out of Notre Dame, threw the football straight to the prettiest girl in the stands behind the end zone after scoring.
