I will start this off by saying I was very impressed with Brett Favre last night. That may have been one of the better performances of his career, all things considered. Of course the Favre dick sucking by ESPN and others has gotten to the absolute ridiciulous point that you think that Favre is still the best QB in the game today. I'm not even willing to consider him the best all-time QB playing today, I beleive Peyton Manning holds that honor. That being said I thought it would be fun to go through all of the starting QB's in the league today and see who the better QB TODAY is. Going by division:
AFC EASTTom Brady- Better than Favre. No explanation needed.
Mark Sanchez- I'll take Favre, but will be curious to what the reaction would be if Sanchez took the same Jets offense minus Coles to the playoffs.
Trent Edwards- Take Favre.
Ronnie Brown- Take Favre over whoever or whatever takes snaps for Miami.
AFC NORTHBen Roethlisberger- Take him today over Favre. Last I checked winning Super Bowls was a big deak.
Joe Flacco- I'll take Favre here, but not might much. Flacco might really be something special.
Carson Palmer- I'll consider this one a PUSH.
Brady Andersen- Ill take Favre.
AFC SOUTHPeyton Manning- No questions, Manning.
David Garrard- Ill take Favre.
Matt Schaub- Ill take Favre.
Kerry Collins- Ill take Favre.
AFC WESTKyle Orton- Ill take Favre, but not by so much. Has anyone seen what his record is as a starter?
Philip Rivers- Rivers. I think this is a good example of how much the media loves Favre. When Favre starts jawing with people and mixing it up with the big boys its commendable. When Rivers does it he is considered to be an asshole. Also, no one is throwing a prettier deep ball in the league right now than Rivers.
Matt Cassell- Favre.
JaMarcuss Russell- Favre. I think I saw a javelin thrower in the Special Olympics that is more accurate throwing a football than Russell.
NFC EASTEli Manning- Ill take Eli, really impressed with how he has taken leadership with a very inexperienced receiving corps.
Donovan McNabb- McNabb. One of the most unheralded QBs in the league. Always has a weak receivers and injury plagued running backs, but he still finds himself in the playoffs all the time. Has guided his team to many road victories in these playoffs.
Tony Romo- Favre. Ability wise I would take Romo, but Favre makes up with or with mentality.
Jason Campbell- Favre.
NFC NORTHJay Cutler- Going with Cutler. He is a young Favre revisited, not mentally as a strong, but overwhelming ability.
Aaron Rodgers- Aside from one bad throw to Jennings he played a damn good game last night despite no protection. If Favre had to play behind that line last night he would have been taken out on a stretcher.
Matthew Stafford- Favre.
NFC SOUTHDrew Brees- Brees, no questions.
Matt Ryan- PUSH. Does not mistakes, and has ability to make plays.
Jake Delhomme- Favre.
Tampa Bay- Favre.
NFC WESTKurt Warner- Warner. Anyone who takes Favre is only asking "What have you done for me lately?"
Matt Hasselbeck- Favre...I think. Its been so long since he was going I can't remember if he is still good or not.
Shaun Hill- Favre.
Kyle "lets smoke another " Boller- Favre.
The end results: 10 QB's better, 2 your splitting hair, 19 he is better than.
Conclsusion: At this point of his career, Brett Favre is an above-average QB. Despite 18 years in the league there are 2 QB's with more rings and 3 with just as many.
