    He has great stats all around but in my opinion he is not in the top tier of quarterbacks all time.I will miss watching him play though he was definitely fun to watch.Could throw 5 td's and 500 yards or 5 picks and 150 yards on any given sunday.

    Something else that never gets mentioned:

    Bart Starr lost his very first playoff game with the Packers, then never lost another one.

    He was MVP of the first two Super Bowls, which victories also finished the second and third straight NFL (pre-merger) championship seasons of '65, '66 and '67.

    The Packers, with Starr, won 5 championships during the sixties, and there is no doubt whatsoever that, had the Super Bowl been played in any other of those years, Starr and the Packers would have six Lombardi trophies.

    In anticipation of Busyman's imminent attempt at refutation of my supposition, I herewith add the prepositional "if" he requires.
    Ehhh? I can't refute facts.

    Anything else is your opinion. It's hard to even consider equating Bart Starr to any QB of the Super Bowl era.

    And at all of that, he was indisputably the best of all-time.

    Couldn't have said it better myself, sir.
    Best of all time at looking like he thought it was fuckin cool to suit up and getting to play a game on Sunday for a living?

    Okayyyy someone's been drinking the magic water.

    Apart from Clocker's being a bit of a Favre fan, I can't suss your exception to his post.

    He has no rooting interest in the Packers, and so obviously appreciates Favre as a fan.

    While you may be a football fan, you don't share his view or appreciation of Favre.

    Who do you nominate for the "fan's player" award?

    Throw out a name, make your case, and let us have at him.

    We'll wait.

    About time he retires. He must be getting sick of the Bears defense destroying him.
