tom cody Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Elway. Still both are top 10 QB's all time for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Favre at his peak was much more dominant. He had more hiccups along the way but when he was on he was a step above Elway. Give me #4 comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Favre and Elway are both in my 7-9 range along with Young. I typically put Elway last between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Can I just be honest and say Favre because I'm still bitter about John Elways MVP award in 87? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 If SB rings (and appearances) weigh heavily on a QB's ranking then you gotta go with Elway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My top 10 is Brady, Montana, Manning, Unitas, Marino. I think if you take a balanced approach you need to go Favre. One less Super Bowl. Two appearances. Was a significantly better physical talent, dominates Elway in nearly every stat. Intangible of the iron man streak. The problem with Elway is there isn't really much of a case for him when you ignore the post season. Brady and Montana have arguments outside the post season. Elway really doesn't. I think you have to heavily weigh 3 Super Bowl losses where Elway never really had a chance and only got there because of the weakness of the AFC to rank him above Favre. But if you weigh those that much you have to start moving Aikman, Staubach, and Bradshaw wayyyyy up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never appeared in another SB after the loss to Denver mainly because of his play. He had a maddening tenancy to throw picks in the post season. In 2002 he threw 6 INTs in one game with 2 of the them pick sixes. Even with the weaknesses of the AFC Elway still found a way to win and appear in those 3 SBs even if he wasn't successful in them.

Kiwibrown Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Favre had a better career rating, a longer career, more TD's more seasons of 30 TD's, which elway didn't have. Elway had TD, TD ran them too two superbowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Favre even though that offense was like the Dream Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elways was a top 5 QB by any standard, Favre, was great, but no where near a top 5 guy. Elway was probably the #3 QB of all time, based on leading teams to the SB and I have seen them all play since the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
