Favres Records

[Noodle]

Whiskey, you speak truth. I saw an interview with Marino where he said maybe it was too easy his rookie year. He fully expected to get a bunch of times, and he was shocked when it didn't happen.

That said, his HoF induction speech was very cool, especially the bit where he chucked one last ball to Clayton. And I also liked how he admitted that he regretted not winning a SB, but that he wouldn't have traded an SB ring for the run he had. That's a pretty sweet tribute to his teammates and to all they accomplished together.

it brought a tear to my eye. i've always been a big marino fan. ive always put him high on the greatest list. i never bought into the idea that rings point to individual greatness.

You know, I just refuse to buy this, "He can't win the big one," stuff, either about Manning or Dungy. I'm old enough to remember when everyone said that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski just couldn't win it. Same was said about Tom Osborne at Nebraska, as well as Elway, though he had some epic wins in pretty big games before the SB.

I agree that Manning has an especially big monkey because of his hisotry at Tennessee and because of his run so far with Indy. But I'm not counting either Peyton or Dungy out until they call it quits.

It's not that I think he can't. I just know he hasn't. Until he does, it's a valid point.

Re: Favres Records

As I have been fending off trolls on ESPN for what seems to be an enternity, I added a few stats to this list. I thought it would take Favre two more years to get most of the records and maybe 3 for them all. However, it appears that outside of the Career Passing yards & Attempts, Favre can own Marino's ass THIS SEASON!!! Can't wait to see Marino crying in December...

I know this has been discussed before but

Career Passing Yards

1 - Dan Marino - 61,361
2 - Brett Favre - 53,615

7,747 to pass (3 years)
Averages 3830 yards per season - 2 years max

Career Passing Attempts

1 - Dan Marino - 8,358
2 - Brett Favre - 7,610

Averages 554 attempt per season - 1.5 seasons
749 to pass (2 Years)

Career Completions

1 - Dan Marino - 4,967
2 - Brett Favre - 4,678

290 to pass (1 Year)

Averages 334 completions per season - 14 games

Career Touchdown Passes

1 - Dan Marino - 420
2 - Brett Favre - 396

25 to pass (1 Year)

Averages 28 TD's per season - 1 year

Career Wins as QB

1 - John Elway - 148
2 - Dan Marino - 147
3 - Brett Favre - 139

9 to take 2nd (1-2 years)
10 to take 1st (1-2 Years)

Pray for 1 year and a 10-6 record!
