Is Favre better than Bart Starr?

Different QB's from different eras. Both winners, but who is better to run a club, Favre or Starr?

Re: Is Favre better than Bart Starr?

Give me Starr. He may not have the flash numbers, but he called his own plays and has a ton of NFL championships to his credit.

Cool Re: Is Favre better than Bart Starr?

Favre is a top 7 or 8 QB of all time. Starr is not.

Re: Is Favre better than Bart Starr?

I'll bet more people will remember Favre for his accomplishments than Starr. I bet more defenses worried about Favre over the years than they did about Starr.

It's a lot closer than that I think...that's like saying Sling Sammy Baugh is not in Peyton Manning's league cause they played in different eras

To be fair, I never saw Starr play in person. But Favre is definitely a top 10 QB of all-time and I never hear Starr mentioned in those terms.

He is not mentioned in those terms perhaps because the writers now have the same vantage point we have...I did not see him play either...but why elevate say Tom Brady or Bradshaw to sainthood for the accomplishments of a "team"...and not Starr?

exactly, brady is the clearest example of this. he is so overrated because of the accomplishments of the successful patriots teams that we have seen the last few years. vinatieri and tuck rules anyone?

however, favre, p. manning, marino, to name a few, are players that leave their mark on a game because of individual talent and style of play.

to get back on topic, and for the reason previously mention, i would say favre is better.

Okay, if you are kicking Brady off in the process, I can side with your argument...
