Hmmm, tell me more about this Favre fellow, he seems like a good quarterback.
Here is a brief summary:
The league's all-time leader in pass completions (5,021), ranks second
in passing yards (57,500), attempts (8,224) and touchdowns (414), all
behind the prolific Dan Marino
With 147 victories as quarterback, ranks tied for second behind John
Elway (148), with Marino (147)
Upon taking over the reins as the Green and Gold's signal caller Sept.
20, 1992, has started the ensuing 237 contests, a record for NFL
quarterbacks and, astoundingly, the third-longest recorded streak in
league annals
During 15 campaigns under center for Green Bay, has led Packers to 10
postseason appearances, including six division crowns, three NFC
Championship Games, two Super Bowls and a World Championship with a
victory in Super Bowl XXXI
The former Southern Mississippi leader's success is partially attributed
to a commanding knowledge of his offense, astute observation of
countless defenses designed to stop him and physical ability -
especially renowned arm strength
But his legacy transcends the passes, the touchdowns and the statistics:
the inspiring leader will go down as one of the most beloved players of
his generation
The swashbuckling Southerner embodies the heart of America's favorite
game
Stands as one of the most respected players among his peers and coaches,
as well
His hard-working approach and down-to-earth attitude appeals to football
fans across the nation
The quarterback earlier topped the 2003 and '04 Harris Polls and placed
second to the Colts' Peyton Manning in '05
In another measure of his popularity, in 2006 he ranked first among
active NFL players in Sports QScore, a prominent rating survey conducted
for marketing and advertising purposes; overall he trailed only Woods
and Jordan
His legendary grit was saluted twice recently as well
In February 2004, he was named as the No. 1 'Toughest Athlete in Sports'
by USA Today
Then, transcending sports, in the March 2004 issue of Men's Journal, he
was chosen as the No. 1 'Toughest Guy in America' on the basis of his
"fearlessness, perseverance, a willingness to take risk, a tolerance for
pain and even a dash of modesty"
In further similar documentation, a 2005 nationwide vote of more than a
half-million viewers for The Discovery Channel's special, '100 Greatest
Americans,' ranked him No. 89
CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE BEST
At the top of his game throughout his career, he is one of the most
worthy adversaries for defensive coordinators
As recently as 2004, helped the Packers to establish all-time franchise
records for total net yards (6,357), net yards passing (4,449), first
downs (354) and completions (382) as Green Bay finished third among NFL
offenses; his output included a combination of 4,000-plus yards and 30
TDs, the third such season in his distinguished career
Selected as an alternate for the 2004 Pro Bowl, his eight Pro Bowl
selections are one short of Forrest Gregg's team record, nine
AMONG ALL-TIME GREATS
Long considered one of the NFL's best ever, ranks high on a number of
the league's all-time lists
Over the course of 2006, extended three other NFL records and
established another
He padded three streaks: seasons with at least 300 completions (15),
seasons with at least 3,000 yards passing (15) and consecutive starts by
a quarterback (237)
Extended another all-time mark with 3,000 yards in a 15th overall season
Plus, finished 2006 with 5,021 career completions, more than any NFL
passer ever, surpassing Marino (4,967) in 2006
One year earlier, swiped Elway's single-stadium TD pass record (180 at
Mile High Stadium), improving his Lambeau Field total in 2006 to 195
Is one of only four quarterbacks in league history to post as many as
four 4,000-yard seasons (also doing so in 1995, '98-99); Marino (6),
Peyton Manning (7) and Warren Moon (4) are the others
With three 300-yard passing performances in 2006, now has 48 such career
outings - tops among active NFL players
Is the NFL's most accurate passer among those with at least 6,000 career
attempts, his 61.1 career completion percentage placing him ahead of No.
2 Marino (59.4 percent)
Has solidified his standing among the game's all-time elite by earning
the NFL's 'MVP' honor a record three times, capturing the Associated
Press award over the 1995, 1996 and 1997 seasons; he was runner-up in
2002 as well
Honored in "co-status" with the Detroit Lions' Barry Sanders in 1997, he
became the first player in league history to win the award three times,
let alone in three consecutive years
Incomparability of the strong-armed Southerner is further evidenced by
his selection in 2000 to the 1990s NFL All-Decade second team as voted
by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee
Also ranked as the ninth-best player in 'NFL Player of the Century'
voting, conducted on nfl.com during the 1999 season
Collaborated with former Packers wide receiver Antonio Freeman for 57
touchdown passes from 1995-2001, the sixth-best such duo in NFL history
With it being impossible for someone to better it, will be the permanent
possessor of at least one all-time NFL record - that for longest pass
completion - as he hooked up with wideout Robert Brooks for a 99-yard
score in a 1995 game at Chicago
In 2003 became part of the second-longest rush in NFL annals, handing
off to Ahman Green on a play that resulted in a 98-yard TD, vs. Denver
in the season finale
WILL FINISH AS A PACKER
Will finish his career in Green Bay after signing a "lifetime" contract
on March 1, 2001
A WINNER
Throughout his career, has disdained talk of statistics, concerning
himself most with his team's victories
And in 2007, can assert himself as the NFL's winningest quarterback
ever; enters with 147 wins, needing only one to break a tie with No. 2
Marino (147) and two to bypass all-time leader Elway (148)
From 1992-2004, won at least eight games an NFL-record 13 consecutive
seasons, substantially better than the next closest player, Ken Stabler,
who had eight straight .500-or-better seasons from 1973-80
Rebounding in 2006, has finished without a losing record in 14 of his 15
years as the Packers' starter, having entered the season's final weekend
in playoff contention for all but one campaign
Also has led the Packers to an NFL-best 147-90 record since taking over
as the starter in the fourth week of the 1992 season
His record as a leader consists of 10 playoff berths, including a
club-record six in a row (1993-98), three straight NFC Central Division
crowns (1995-97), three NFC North Division titles in a row (2002-04),
three consecutive NFC Championship games (1995, 1996, 1997) and
back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, including a 35-21 victory over New
England in Super Bowl XXXI, returning the Lombardi Trophy to Green Bay
for the first time in 29 years
Upon defeating Chicago in December of 2000, became the third-fastest
player in the NFL since 1970 to reach 100 regular-season victories,
doing so in his 153rd career start; only Joe Montana (139) and Terry
Bradshaw (147) got to the century mark quicker over the past 37 seasons
Since his first year as a starter in 1992, holds a 46-17 record (.730)
in regular-season games in December, the fourth-best mark among NFL
starters who have begun their careers since 1970 (min. 20 starts); Tom
Brady (.840, 21-4), Joe Theismann (.773, 17-5) and Montana (.767, 33-10)
rank just ahead in December winning percentage
Owns 36 career fourth-quarter or overtime comebacks (which includes
three postseason contests)
A game conductor of the highest caliber, has led the Packers to a nearly
perfect 54-2 regular-season record since 1992 in games where they have
more rushing attempts than passing attempts
DOMINANTLY DURABLE
As indestructable as football players come, has started an
NFL-quarterback-record 237 consecutive regular-season contests (257
including playoffs) - 93 games (equivalent of better than
five-and-a-half seasons) more than the next closest streak among league
QBs all-time, 144 by Manning (1998-2006)
Only six active veterans across the league - all kickers - have played
as many or more games (241): Morten Andersen (368), Jeff Feagles (304),
John Carney (261), Matt Stover (255), Chris Gardocki (244) and Junior
Seau (also 241)
Played much of the 2003 season with a broken thumb on his right
(throwing) hand
In 2006 surpassed Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews (229, 1987-2001) for the
third-longest recorded starting streak of all-time, and now trails only
two former Vikings, Mick Tinglehoff (240, 1962-78) and Jim Marshall
(270, 1961-79)
Actually has played in 239 consecutive regular-season contests, having
seen action in two contests as a reserve leading into his starting
streak
Twelve more signal callers made their initial NFL starts in 2006,
meaning that a total of 202 league quarterbacks have opened a game since
he began his starting streak Sept. 27, 1992
Furthermore, he is the only athlete in the four major sports to have
started every game for the same team since Sept. 27, 1992, having been
presented his opportunity the previous week when Don Majkowski suffered
strained ligaments in his left ankle midway through the first quarter of
Cincinnati contest
During his remarkable run, 17 different quarterbacks have served as his
backup in Green Bay; chronologically, they are Majkowski (1992), Ty
Detmer (1992-95), Mark Brunell (1993-94), T.J. Rubley (1995), Bob
Gagliano (1995), Doug Pederson (1995-98, 2001-04), Jim McMahon

1994, at Minnesota (hip), when Brunell wrapped up the contest; Nov. 5,
1995, at Minnesota (ankle), when Detmer subbed in before injuring his
thumb and giving way to Rubley; Nov. 12, 2000, at Tampa Bay (ankle),
when Hasselbeck was called upon to finish the game; Oct. 20, 2002, vs.
Washington (knee), when Pederson completed the contest; Oct. 3, 2004,
vs. the New York Giants (concussion), when Pederson took over before
suffering a rib injury and Nall finished the game; and Nov. 19, 2006,
vs. New England (elbow), when Rodgers played the final 32 minutes and
sustained a season-ending broken foot
TOUCHDOWN PRODUCER
Highly productive in firing touchdown passes, enters 2007 with 414
career, only seven from breaking Marino's NFL standard, 420
In 2006 he ended an NFL-record string of 12 seasons (1994-2005) with at

In 2004, he extended his own NFL record with his eighth career season of
30-or-more touchdown passes - twice as many as any other quarterback in

Colts' Manning (49), the Vikings' Daunte Culpepper (39) and the Eagles'

In 2006, became the first in league annals to record 11 career passes of
75 yards-or-more; first tied the exclusive group of five passers (George

Began his streak of 239 straight games played with second-half, mop-up
duty in a 1992 loss to the Buccaneers, then replaced the injured
