brett favre had marginal teams for a long time.

he had sharpe for all of 3 or 4 yrs, white for maybe 5, a terrible Oline throughout the 90's, and bennett/levens were a product of the west coast system. ahman is the best of any rb's he got to play with.

he made freeman and brooks all pro's, because u saw what they did when they left. nothing. same w/ dorsey, he was a backup. when they finally got a decent line and some talented skill players, walker got hurt and wanted out, ahman couldn't stay healthy, and their D was so so at best. they gave up a lotta points.

guys like montana kelly and aikman had gr8 teams to compliment them. montana had arguably the most talented, no not arguably, THE most talented teams in the 80's. aikman had 2 all-time gr8 skill pos. players, one of the best tackles in history. kelly never won a SB and had thurman, reid, beebe, and a D that includes 9/10 of bruce smith's career with many other good defenders.

what i think sets him apart is the way he moves in the pocket. payton is the only other QB i've seen move in the pocket as well as favre, and he doesn't make people miss like brett. his ball fakes, under hand shovel's, and improvisation are superior to anyone to play the game. taken into consideration with production, playoff apps., div. champs. and the ability to show up to work every day 4 all these years makes him the best ever.

good argument for him, but i'll just be labled a homer.
