Since Favre has played for much longer, I broke down a comparison of their statistics based on int/attempt and td/attempt. Even though I figured Brady would be the better quarterback, I was shocked at how staggering the difference was. You'll see that, although these stats don't always appear staggering at first glance, when broken down over many, many games they are really amazing.
Playoff Wins
Brady- 14 in seven seasons
Favre- 12 in seventeen seasons
If Favre retired today, and Brady played for ten more seasons without winning another playoff game, Brady would still have more playoff wins than Favre, in as many seasons.
Win/Loss percentage
Brady- 101-27(.789)
Favre- 181-100(.647)
If Favre won his next 193 consecutive games, with no losses, he would still trail Brady.
If Brady lost his next next 28 consecutive games, with no wins, he would still lead Favre.
Interception rate
Brady- INT/43.48 att
Favre- INT/29.9 att
If Favre avoided throwing an interception in his next 3,880 pass attempts, he would still trail Brady.
If Brady threw an interception in his next 37 consecutive pass attempts, he would still lead Favre.
Playoff Interception Rate (the most reliable indicator of w/l in playoffs)
Brady- INT/49 att
Favre- INT/25.8 att
If Favre avoided throwing an interception in his next consecutive 650 playoff pass attempts, he would still trail Brady.
If Brady threw an interception in his next consecutive 11 playoff pass attempts, he would still lead Favre.
TD rate
Brady- TD/18.5 att
Favre- TD/20 att
If Favre threw a touchdown pass on each of his next 37 attempts, he would still trail Brady.
If Brady failed to throw a touchdown pass on his next 285 attempts, he would still lead Favre.
