Brett Favre is the best quarterback of all time in the NFL.

Here's a list of some other Favre records you may not be aware of:-most interceptions thrown (336)-most times sacked (525)- most fumbles (166)- most playoff losses (11)- most playoff interceptions (30)[1]So my opponent believes that the Quarterback the excels at giving the other team the ball (whether through turnovers or failed 3rd down conversions on a sack) is the best quarterback ever. C1: Favre is InefficientAll of the "positive" records Brett Favre holds are more due to his longevity (20 seasons) rather than having consistently good games. The main NFL efficiency records and Brett Favre's rankings in them are[2]:- passer rating (20th)- passing yards/game (6th)- yards/ pass att (61st)- yards/ pass completion (194th)- completion % (17th)- pass TD% (53rd)My opponent argues that Favre is the best because he thinks that Favre is the best-quality quarterback there has ever been. However, as I have just shown, quantity is much more a factor in Favre's stats than quantity. The only stat he was respectable in (passing yards/game) is only due to the fact that he has the most passing attempts of any quarterback. In fact, the main measurement of a good passer (passer rating a. k. a. QB Rating) shows that there are 19 better quarterbacks out there. Favre does not have records from consistent, quality performance. Rather, he has records from overly prolonged, average performance. C2: Favre is SelfishMany, myself included, would've once argued that Favre is a prime example of a team player. However, the events of the last few years have shown Favre for what he really is, a selfish brat. He waffled for years over whether or not to retire, before finally breaking the news to the whole football world in a tear-jerking press conference. The Packers, accepting the inevitable, moved on and prepared for a season without Favre. But then those late July winds kicked up and Ol' Brett started feeling a bit nostalgiac and wanted to come back to his old team. The Packers were willing to allow him back on the team, so long as Brett would compete for a starting job. This is completely understandable considering that Favre had been degrading for years and that he was the sole reason they had lost an NFC championship game the previous year when they should've went to the Super Bowl (by, shockingly, throwing an interception). Favre wanted everything given to him though (after all, who were the Packers to ask that he actually compete to prove he was the best QB on the team), and so started his "journeyman" years. Favre started off pretty well with the Jets, but then caved in at the end of the season. His last five games Favre threw for a dreadful 2 TD's, 9 Int's [3]. With yet another disappointing end to a season, Favre announced his retirement. However, this late July winds started kicking up again and Favre put himself back on the market to be courted by the Vikings. Still, Favre was a "legend", so naturally he waited for the arduous, difficult training camp to be almost completed before joining the Vikings. This season went much better Favre, climaxing in an NFC championship game. However, with the win in reach, Favre pulled out his whole "how can I lose this" mentality and found a way to end the Vikings' Super Bowl aspirations. With the win in reach (or at the very least overtime), Favre rolled out with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter against the eventual Super Bowl Champion Saints. He then threw across the field (something even the least competent of college QB's could tell you not to do) towards his wide receiver. Shockingly, it was intercepted and the Saints won the game by scoring shortly after. He one again retired. .. yadda yadda yadda. .. late July winds. .. yadda yadda yadda. .. wait for training camp to be over because he's a "legend. " Thus began the final (hopefully) and worst season of Favre's career, marked by interceptions, loss, injuries, and more losses and interceptions. Favre's complete disregard for his teammates (skipping training camp, believing he was more important than the team) led to the destruction of two Vikings seasons, one Jets season, the firing of two head coaches (Erik Mangini and Brad Childress, who had the misfortune of trusting in Favre), and the loss of all the respect fans (especially Packers' fans) had gained for him over the years. C3: Multipe QB's are better than Favre (right now)1. Peyton Manning (all of this done in 7 less seasons than Favre)[4]-4 MVP's -11 time Pro Bowl selection - 2 Super Bowl Appearances, 1 Super Bowl Victory, 1 Super Bowl MVP award- 3rd all-time passing yards- 3rd all-time passing TD'sEfficiency-wise:[2]- passer rating (6th)- passing yards/game (1st)- yards/ pass att (19th)- completion % (4th)- pass TD% (25th)Manning is clearly superior in all efficiency rankings, and also very high in all-time rankings. The key fact here is that Manning has played 7 less seasons than Favre. According to my calculations (using an average TD's/season for Manning's career)[5], Manning will surpass Favre's TD record 3 and a half seasons from now, or in other words, almost 5 seasons faster than Favre did it! Manning would also only have around 250 Int's at this time, or in other words, over 100 less than Favre! It will also only take 4 seasons for Manning to surpass Favre in throwing yards. To recap, Manning beats Favre in everything based on passing effiency, and all the (positive) records Favre does have due to his career longevity will be overcome by Manning in at least 4 less seasons than it took Favre. Did I also mention that Manning isn't a selfish brat and that he took less money than his team offered him in a contract so they could keep more people on the team. 2. Tom Brady (11 less seasons than Favre)[6]-2 MVP's-4 Super Bowl Appearances, 3 Super Bowl Victories, 2 Super Bowl MVP Awards- 6 Pro-bowl selectionsEfficiency-wise:[2]- passer rating (5th)- passing yards/game (5th)- yards/ pass att (31st)- completion % (10th)- pass TD% (25th)Other (excerpt): Brady holds numerous regular season and postseason records, including: most touchdown passes in a regular season (50); highest touchdown-to-interception ratio in a single season (9:1); highest single-game completion percentage, regular season or postseason (26/28, 92.9%); most consecutive pass attempts without an interception (339, still active); most consecutive regular-season home wins (28, still active); highest winning percentage of any quarterback ever during his first 100 starts (76 wins); most completions in one Super Bowl (32); and the longest streak of games with 3 or more touchdown passes (10 games). most career completions in Super Bowl history (100); Brady is the fourth-fastest player to reach 200 career passing touchdowns (116 games). He is the first quarterback in NFL history to have reached said mark with under 100 career interceptions (he had 88 interceptions). [6]Throw in there 3 Super Bowl Rings with no weapons to throw to (aka horrible WR core), and Brady's stats only become more impressive. He also took less money early on in his career so the team could build around him. Conclusion:The stats alone speak for themselves on who is the greatest QB of all-time. In my contentions, I did not even bring up the all-time greats such as Dan Marino and Joe Montana because I believe that Favre was not even the best QB of his era. That said, I eagerly await my opponent's response and look forward to continuing this debate.
