Brett Favre's current standing in the record books.

[BlueBrewer]

I know there is another thread dicussing this but I did not want these stats to be buried.

Brett Favre, already the holder of nearly all of the passing records in Green Bay Packers history, is closing in on a number of NFL passing records as well. Here's a look at where #4 ranks among the all-time NFL greats. Packers.com will be updating Brett's climb up the charts after every game in 2006.

As long as your looking... How many interceptions do Marino, Elway and Moon have???

[b bulldog]

I guess they won't be adding to their final numbers unlike Brett.

Well, favre is at least going to be #2 atfer this year. And if he plays in 07, he will be both the int and td record holder.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Terry Bradshaw = 5.38 interception rate (interceptions/100 pass attempts)
210 interceptions in 3901 pass attempts (212 TDs)

Johnny Unitas = 4.88 interception rate
253 interceptions in 5186 pass attempts (290 TDs)

Fran Tarkenton = 4.11 interception rate
266 interceptions in 6467 pass attempts (342 TDs)

Brett Favre = 3.35 interception rate
255 interceptions in 7610 pass attempts (396 TDs)

John Elway = 3.11 interception rate
226 interceptions in 7250 pass attempts (300 TDs)

Dan Marino = 3.02 interception rate
252 interceptions in 8358 pass attempts (420 TDs)

His interception rate isn't historically high--despite what bulldog and the Favre haters claim. Throwing 16-17 int/year may sound like a lot, but it really isn't when you throw 580-600 times/year. He's probably around average when compared to other great QBs. His TD rate is the second highest ever though, and his completion percentage is historical high. The fact he ranks third in wins (despite playing in the free agency area), and his team has more wins than any other team during his playing days should tell you all you need to know about Favre (besides the numbers and the streak).

[TPF]

He throws more passes, so he is more likely to throw more INTs.

His INT's are what they are and it's still going to be part of his game. He takes risk if he thinks it will help the team win. He says that all the time and that he doesnt play for stats. His play supports what he says.

But if anyone is going to bitch about his INT rate they sure as hell better be quoting this info too.

[vince]

Based on his career averages, here's when we could expect him to break the all-time record in each category...

Completions - 15 games (VIKINGS Game!)
Touchdown Passes - 15 games
Wins - 17 games
Interceptions - 21 games
Passing Attempts - 24 games
Passing Yards - 35 games

I think it's only fitting that the greatest, toughest gunslinger that ever lived hold EVERY record in the books, including interceptions.

But, as is noted by Harvey, he's not even close when it comes to interception prolificity.

I hope he plays for 2 or 3 more years - not because I want to see him break records, but because he's still got what it takes to help his team win!
