No question in my mind millions of NFL fans also agree. We just can't heard over that giant sucking sound caused by media lips on Favray's butt cheeks.

Disagree completely this guy has stood the test of time, a lot of records.. aside from Brady would have loved him to be a Patriot and if he played here with good teams would have been a home town hero.

Bret did have a certain knack for throwing the ball to the opposing teams in critical situations....

I couldn't disagree more. First, the title of the post is a bit misleading. Ryan doesn't state the he feels Favre is the most overrated QB in history. He simply states that he wasn't in the top 5 and probably doesn't belomg in the top 10. Favre was a great leader of men playing America's game. Had he been a Patriot, we would all be crying in our beer over his retirement. Did he define mental toughness? Yes. Did this inspire and help to lead his teammates? Yes. Did he drive his team to victory many, many times because of his ability to lead? Yes. Did he put team first? Every time he stepped on the field.

Don't disount his accomplishments because of the circus the media created over his pending retirement the last few years, or because he threw some of the craziest interceptions. Give the guy his due. He was a very good quarterback that had the uncanny ability to be a leader in the highest regard in the best team sport in the world. He respected the game for all it is worth. He deserves all of our respect.

I think Brett was good....

i dont think Brett was THAT good...

not peyton manning good, not montana good, not elway good, not brady good.....

and i wont delve into the older QB's either....

Brett was good....but not one of the top 5....and maybe in the top 10...

but overrated has a negative connotation in today's world....

he never missed a game and holds every record there is hes top 5 all time QB

Number Cruncher

I'll never forgive him for the Strahan thing...

Imagine pitchers throwing underhanded to help McGuire get the regular season home run record...

Imagine pulling the goalie in the second period so someone could break the NHL scoring record...

Imagine Connecticut and their opponent agreeing to trade baskets so someone could get a womens hoops scoring record...

Favre VIOLATED the rule book. He tarnished all his own records in the process.

(That and some of the worst picks in QB history).....

The thread is very misleading. Ryan does not say that.

What he says is that while Favre was a tremendous QB, he is not one of the handful of best Ryan has seen. I agree 100%. Montana, Marino, Brady, and Manning were/are vastly superior. Elway was the same kind of player as Favre a lot of his career and took his less talented teams much farther. That is 5 I think aren't even up for debate and that is just in the last 25 years.

Favre was great for about a 4 year span when he and Holmgren were in synch, horrible for a time, inconsistent a lot of the time.

As for the comment that the Pats win the Super Bowl this year with Favre at QB - that is laughable. How was a guy who has spent the last decade of his career defined by blowing big games for his team going to do that? Last time I checked, the Giants beat him on his home field because he threw the game away.
