Manning-Favre

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Here's some Favre hate to make it up to you all. It was written before last season while arguing with a packers fan friend so some numbers might be outdated. Wins and playoff result is to try to gauge the team around the QB, using wins to rate QBs is ridiculously stupid.

Best Seasons: (Their Prime)
Favre:
Year Completion% Yards TDs INTs Record Playoffs

1994 62.4 3882 33 14 9-7 lost in Divisional
1995 63.0 4413 38 13 11-5 lost NFC champ
1996 59.9 3899 39 13 13-3 Won Superbowl
1998 63.0 4212 31 23 11-5 lost in Wild Card
ave. 62.1 4102 35.3 15.8 11 wins
career best 65.4 4413 39 13 13 wins
career ave 61.1 3833 27.6 18 9.9wins

Manning:
2000 62.5 4413 33 15 10-6 lost in Wild Card
2003 67.0 4267 29 10 12-4 lost in AFC champ
2004 67.6 4557 49 10 12-4 lost in Divisonal
2006 65.0 4397 31 9 12-4 Won Superbowl

career best 67.6 4557 49 9 14 wins
career ave. 64.0 4176 30.6 15.4 10.2wins

Rookie/1st year as starter
Manning (rookie) 56.7 3739 26 28
Farve (rookie) 0 for 4 2INTs
Farve (1st full year as starter)
60.9 3303 19 24
Playoffs/awards Favre Manning
Playoff record 11-9 7-6
Superbowl wins 1 1
Superbowl MVPs 0 1
Probowls 8 of 15 seasons 7 of 9 seasons
League MVPs 3 in 15 seasons 2 in 9 seasons

But Farve didn't have the same kind of weapons Manning has:
(Player)career best-Catches yards TDs
Sterling Sharpe 112 1423 18
Marvin Harrison 143 1722 15
Antonio Freeman 84 1424 14
Reggie Wayne 86 1320 12
Javon Walker 89 1382 12
Donald Driver 92 1295 9
Dallas Clark 37 488 5

-Manning's career bests are better
-Manning's Top 4 seasons are better (Their Primes)
-Manning's Rookie Season was better than Farve's 3rd or 4th season in the NFL
-Their Teams have been almost the same in wins over their careers .3 wins per year difference
-Manning and Farve have had similar playoff sucess and awards, but Manning has done it in 6 less seasons and is still a member of a contender
-Manning has had an all-time great reciever in Marvin Harrison, but Farve has had great recievers too

Farve is one of the best QB's ever to play in the NFL and a sure Hall of Famer but his best seasons and career are not better than Manning's
So unless the criteria is how awesome you thought they were when you were 7. Farve's prime was not better than Manning's best seasons so far.
