Tough call. Both were average post-season QBs. Favre has a lot more TDs but a million more picks as well. Favre was virtually indestructible while Rodgers has durability issues.

If I’m gm of a team and I can have either of them in their primes I’ll say Favre.

I’d go Favre.

Rodgers’ stock has really fallen in the last few years. He’d have probably won this in a landslide in 2016.

Rodgers
McNabb
Danny White
Stabler

The big difference between both is that Rodgers rarely throw INT.

WOW......I guess I don't understand the meaning of the word "better" !! To my way of thinking there is NO way Brett Favre is "better" than Aaron Rodgers.....and I've had a front-row seat to EVERY game of both of their entire careers living here in Wisconsin (well......a front-row TELEVISION seat, anyway!......though I have attended a number of games at Lambeau, too). If, by "better", we're talking about the technical aspects of playing the position, then yes, there is absolutely NO way Favre is "better" than Rodgers. Rodgers is a MUCH 'smarter' QB, who plays (mostly) with his brain, rather than his heart, which is something that all too often got Favre in trouble, and lost him a number of games (see 336 career interceptions (19 seasons as a starter), vs. Rodgers 84 (12 seasons as a starter)). However, if by "better", you mean a more general definition of the word, and are referring to the guy who was more successful overall, then maybe, MAYBE Favre comes a little closer to being "better" than Rodgers (though here too, by "successful", it depends what one means with THAT word......personally, I tend to think in terms of the ultimate measure of success in the NFL, winning championships, and by THAT measure, they've both only won one, so neither is "better" than the other in that particular category.....and Favre, of course, lost one.....something Rodgers has yet to do). Seeing SO many people jumping on the Favre bandwagon here, I'm also wondering if there's just a little bit of recency bias creeping in (i.e., Rodgers having just lost another chance to get to a second Super Bowl). Also, A LOT of what makes a quarterback "better" or "worse" is directly related to the talent they have around them over the course of their careers (in the end, this is a TEAM sport).....and though there's NO question Rodgers has had some VERY talented players around him, I think there's a good argument to be made that Favre, overall, has had MORE talent around him over the course of his career, as opposed to Rodgers. Either way, a good question to have some fun with.....  SAVE FERRIS

Hell, if the Packers lost a shootout in the final minutes instead of looking completely inept for an entire half yesterday you may have a different result.

All this means is that Favre reached two Super Bowls while Rodgers lost earlier in the playoffs/season. How is that better for Rodgers?

I think given the change in the game since Favre had that bounty on his head against the Saints, I'd still lean
Favre, but I'm not voting. Aaron's lack of picks is nice, but he may have played it safe maybe too often. Still a master of the sideline pass, ane got screwed in a few key games by never seeing the ball in OT.

Some people (and I'm not necessarily saying the OP) think losing a Super Bowl is a strike against you as opposed to not making it to a Super Bowl at all. Remember DC Fan (before he got banned) used to argue losing Super Bowls was somehow worse than losing in the wild card round? (Until the Patriots lost in the wild card round, then it was 'another one and done' for the Patriots. I'll be honest, I'm not going to miss him.)

If he got screwed by never seeing the ball in overtime it was the Packers defense that did the screwing. All they had to do was not allow a touchdown on the opening drive. |
