Will AR have a better career than Favre?

[pbmax]

1 Starr
2 Favre
3 Arod
4 Arnie Herber
5 Cecil Isbell
6 Red Dunn
7 Tobin Rote
8 Lynn Dickey
9 Majik
10 Indian Jack Jacobs

There isn't a franchise that can hold the jock of that all-time list of quarterbacks. Not. Even. Close.
Arod will supplant Favre one day. He's got it all. But he hasn't yet.

Ahem.

Cleveland/Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams
1. Roman Gabriel
2. Norm Van Brocklin
3. Kurt Warner
4. Bob Waterfield
5. Jim Everett

San Francisco 49ers
1. Joe Montana
2. Steve Young
3. John Brodie
4. Y.A. Tittle
5. Jeff Garcia

Philadelphia Eagles
1. Donovan McNabb.
2. Norm Van Brocklin
3. Ron Jaworski
4. Randall Cunningham
5. Sonny Jurgensen

Dallas Cowboys
1. Roger Staubach
2. Troy Aikman
3. Don Meredith
4. Danny White
5. Tony Romo

Cleveland Browns
1. Otto Graham
2. Frank Ryan
3. Bernie Kosar
4. Brian Sipe
5. Milt Plum

Now, if we are simply going to reduce QB play down to the lowest common denominators (did he win a Super Bowl/NFL Championship? OR how many TDs did he throw?) then its going to be an uninteresting argument. But who was the best QBs on a franchise? Great argument. See my new thread for the list of candidates.

I don't see a list there that compares, although I admit I'm as bullish as you can get on Rodgers. The top 3 for the Packers is unequalled and then the list goes deeper for the Packers than any other team with Pro Bowl quality guys from every era. 49ers probably come the closest IMO. Obviously we have nothing but our opinions though.

I don't know how long he was an Eagle, but I'd move Sonny Jurgensen and Norm Van Brocklin up on the Eagles' list.

Edit: He was an Eagle for 7 and a Redskin for 11.

wow really? Whats next a poll on which QB has a bigger dick?

Ahh, so lets shut this thread down too as you have mentioned on other threads you dont like or agree with.

Peeps are talking just fine on this thread so if you dont like it fucking ignore it. You use to be cool but every since you let skinbasket get to you you have acted like a jaded little bitch. Let others enjoy the discussion because it is a legit one.

silly

Its not. Not really. Stats bear this out. If the question is a popularity contest well then there is no end to that discussion.

The Definitive List

Rodgers' career has only just begun (we hope) so it is impossible to suggest he compares favorably to Favre just yet. It will take at least one more ring and 4-5 more Pro Bowl caliber seasons before Rodgers is truly on par with Favre. I certainly would be willing to bet that Rodgers makes good on that. The scary thing is that he will only get BETTER over the next 3-4 years, just as Tom Brady did in the second half of the previous decade. With the surplus of receiving talent on the roster, Rodgers is primed to have one of the greatest QB careers of all-time.

Starr obviously had the most successful career of any Packer QB by a wide margin due to the titles, although he is probably only the 4th most talented QB to wear the green and gold. Rodgers is probably one of the very few who actually has a legitimate chance at establishing a career that eclipses Starr's. I think it would take 3 SB wins in the modern era to compare favorably to what Starr accomplished, since it certainly is much harder to consistently win today with three times as many franchises fighting for the title, plus free agency.

If Starr is the fourth most talented, who are the three you rank ahead of him in talent? Favre,Rodgers, and ???

The Definitive List

No one's going to convince me that Montana isnt the best QB of all time. I love Starr (the only jersey I own BTW) but Kerry and I disagree.

I can't, that shit have me acting funny.

and the answer is clearly Rodgers IMO

[Harlan Huckleby]

Did anybody notice that Rodgers younger brother QB'd for Vanderbilt yesterday? He is second string, starter out. Not sure how he did.

They got shut out but it was against Alabama which is pretty much an NFL defense.

I think all the TDs completions and other records will be eclipsed if AR wins two more SBs

I think Rodgers' highest QB rating in history in both the regular season and playoffs cancels out those records over time if he can continue to hold them and play for another 5 years or more. Super Bowl wins are important, but as long as Rodgers continues to play consistently at the top of the sport he'll have done what he can to be accurately judged. Super Bowl wins are potentially such a team statistic that they can be very deceiving when judging quarterbacks. They're the most coveted honor for every player who dedicates themselves to winning, but they don't necessarily define an individual player's ability or production.
