Most seasons with 30 or more touchdown passes: 8, 5 consecutive (1994-1998, 2001, 2003-2004) For perspective, only five other quarterbacks in NFL history have recorded at least two consecutive 30-touchdown passing seasons in their careers: Steve Bartkowski, Dan Fouts, Dan Marino, Jeff Garcia, Y.A. Tittle.

Most NFL MVP awards: 3
Most consecutive starts by a quarterback: 237 (257 including playoffs)

From 2002 to 2004, Favre threw a touchdown pass in 36 consecutive games, the second longest streak ever behind Johnny Unitas' 47.
Favre continues to close in on several NFL career records. As of the end of the 2006 NFL season, Favre stands at:
Second all-time in career passing touchdowns, with 414 (Marino, 420)
Second all-time in career passing yards, with 57,500 (Marino, 61,361)

Third all-time in career consecutive starts by an NFL player, with 237 (Mick Tingelhoff, 240; Jim Marshall, 270)
In addition, Favre owns a number of team records, having printed his name into almost every passing category in the annals of Green Bay Packers history.
