As a Packer fan, it's Rodgers and it's getting to the point where it isn't close.

A little over a month ago I thought he looked like he was going downhill and i thought he might be done. Lol. Guess not.

Ben, Brady, Rodgers, Ryan......this is a great final four of qb....both games should be high scoring and entertaining this weekend.

Ya, it wasn't his best stretch. Not many people talk about it, but Jared Cook being out for 6 weeks was a huge loss. Having that option in the middle of the field opens everything else up.

Unlikely its possible for 95 % of this forum to comment on Starr. So its basically between the other 2.

Right now for me, its too close to call..

Rodgers is the best

The difference in turnovers is way too big.

This is a huge difference.

Favre wasn't good in the playoff games that eliminated the Packers in '02, '03, '04, '07. He threw backbreaking picks that cost them the games in '03 and '07.

Yes this is probably the difference.

But neither are in Brady's league. (Irrelevant i know but had to throw that out there)

I actually hate admitting Rodgers is better than Favre because i think he's probably a huge prick...

I do think Favre is beginning to become underrated though.

Everyome remembers the 2nd half of his career where GB wasn't really a perennially contending team but from '94-99 he was clearly the best QB in the league and people didn't really debate it. During his apex he really had no peers.

It's because people tend to forget over time how good a player is/was, people live in the moment, and as time passes, people will always argue that their era of players are better.

Favre had an incredible 3 year run (95,96,97) but even during that stretch Favre never had a season where he threw fewer than 13 interceptions. The only season in Favre's career where he threw fewer than 13 Ints was in Minnesota. Rodgers has thrown 13 interceptions once. His first year starting.

Rodgers is also 33 TDs/9 Ints in the playoffs whereas Favre was 44/30.

Not taking anything from Brady , but he can't do half the things Rodgers can.. put him below Favre too..Brady has had the best team and coach over the last several years , but it is a team thing

You could make a case for all 3 , but have Favre slightly over Rodgers right now.. Favre should have 4 MVP's...should have got it in 09..his year was alot better then Peyton s

The colts basically went undefeated that year until their coaching staff wanted to rest players the final two games.

Favre re had a good year but I think most knew his success in Minn had a lot to do with that teams talent after the year he had with the Jets.

Favre winning that year over Manning or Brees would've felt sentimental rather than deserving.

Favre's stats were better then Peyton s that year..think it was more sentimental to give it to Peyton imo

Manning not playing much his final two games influenced his stats though. And the team went 14-0 his first 14 games. Kinda hard not to give it to the star QB of a team that is practically undefeated vs star QB of a 12-4 team when their #'s are similar.

Minnesota also went 10-6 the year before with Frerotte/Tavaris at QB. Their running game/run defense were top notch during this time. It was the perfect situation for him at that point in his career. And everyone knew this. Why he finished behind Brees and Rivers in the voting also.
