It still blows my mind that Favre started his first game when I was in kindergarten and didn't miss a game until I was in college.
same here...i was like damn he still playing and playing good
did you miss any classes?
My old man has never missed a day of work. Granted he isn't being flattened by 300lbs monsters at work but still....very Favre-esque.
And during that time, how many times did you call in sick for school?
@@ericclaeyborn8359 Four times, maybe? I rarely get sick.
Fucking love how Favre steps into his throws and just lets that thing rip. Man has a beautiful style
if he's so beautiful why don't you marry him
@@GetintheCAH @ahahaha
Love when he loaded up and just FIRED that thing. Awesome to watch.
@@julsie3195 lmao. sick burn
Probably one of the most powerfulest rocket arms of all time !
Nothing more pure than Brett Favre running with his helmet off after a touchdown.
NOTHING PURE ABOUT A THIEF HAHAHAHA
@the dude cry about it 😢 favre is the man
@@thedude-jb7wx I guess I missed the news stories about all the poor people who starved to death because Favre stole their money
oil up lil nigga ill be there in 5, womp womp
@@thedude-jb7wx
I love how he celebrated most of his touchdowns. Would celebrate like it was the most important play of his life. Loved his passion.
Think you nailed why everyone loved watching him play. Not the G.O.A.T. by any means but that doesn't mean he isn't the most fun fun to watch.
im curious what do you think about him stealing money from the poor.
@@leninfranco9328 Not good whatsoever. Still doesn't change the fact he is still one of the greatest QBs in NFL history.
@@ave0828 sorry, but this tarnished his career. He gets a pass while terrel owens isn't in the hall of fame right?. Bret farve IMO is the most overrated QB in the history of the NFL. This guy only has one superbowl and they make him look like if he's won 20. Overrated and never like his fake personality. He's nothing more then a dirtbag.
@@ave0828 Most overrated QB to ever play the game. He is definitely good, but I would not take him over a single other one of the greats other than maybe Aikman or Bradshaw.
I love when Moss comes out and says, "this Favre out here, I gotta see this!"
He said I gotta see this, this favre out here, Brett Favre
yea i wish they made the trade to get moss back in the day. that been a fun combo.
I think that Moss was being sarcastic. Not that he didn't have respect for Farve, but I believe that he was being a smart ass. He was on the opposing team, he couldn't really show too much admiration. I also believe that he was happy to have Farve as a teammate.
3 straight MVPs during an era that included Steve Young, Dan Marino, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice, John Elway, Terrell Davis, Troy Aikman and more tells you all you need to know about how dominant he was for Green Bay in his prime. And this is coming from a 49ers fan...
From a bears fan farve is one of the greatest if not the greatest QB I ever watched play
man the 90's was shit crazy for football, the war of the 49ers and cowboys, the rise of favre and the packers, the Elway show of the broncos, and the dominant dolphins.
I say that Brett Favre is the best there ever was. If he was on the field, regardless of the score, the Pack had a chance to win. You could feel it. And he delivered time and time again. He made everyone around him play better, and refuse to quit. I think his greatest play, was vs Denver in OT 2008 (I think '08). They have the ball on their 20, 1st snap in OT. Denver is in a "Tampa 2" defense with the safeties pinched to the inside of the field. He audibles BY LOOKING AT GREG JENNINGS! Everyone else was running the called play. Jennings looked at Favre before the snap and they both knew what to do: Jennings does a fly route down the left side of the field, Favre airs it out... perfect throw, 80 yard TD, game over. Packers win 19 Denver 13 in OT. That was greatness! They showed the play in the video but cut the pre-snap look. @@docsylva2876
@@DTB1995 👍👍👍.
Ryan M you sound more like a Packers fan pretending to be a 49ers fan.
Imagine how raw your hands must feel after catching passes from Brett Favre.
after his retirement he went to some football event, some college players asked him to throw passes to them, he broke one of their arms lol. the kid wasnt even mad he said he now has the best story to tell on how he broke his arm
He regularly broke his receivers fingers
He broke every finger of Antonio Freeman’s hands Throughout the years. I’d hate to be the WR’s 😂
PROBABLY SHT ON YOU HANDS FROM A THIEF
much less than catching passes from John Elway
One thing I remember about watching Favre, and his throwing power, is that the cameraman had trouble keeping up sometimes.
Haha, they did the same with Barry Sanders and he didn't even theow a ball. Those two are both known for it.
Til the day I die I'll never forget that Monday night game in Oakland. Sitting there and watching that man play the way that he did under the despair and sorrow of losing his father was probably the most inspirational moment in football.
I agree 100%. He torched the HELL out of the Raiders secondary that night. Warner in 1999 was scary too. Tons of big plays that year
Bro yessss i remember that night
I was at that game. 40 yard line about half way up, in all my Packers gear. Amazing game. Raiders fans were all cheering for him too! Awesome.
That was a wonderful night history in the making
Even when I just see "Favre best TD highlights" and I know it's from that game, it hits me like it did then.
Toughest QB ever, and from an era when the QB actually got hit
They had to setup a bounty scandal to incentive players to actually hurt him to take him out of the game.
Shit, even with the Saints trying to kill him, he STILL finished the game. I wish to god he could have just ran on that 3rd down though instead of forcing it over the middle.
Even when teams had bounties out on QB's and other top players. He took hits got up and he no problem looking a 300 lb. lineman in the face and saying THATS ALL YOU GOT? He used to piss off so many guys.
Facts he was a damn rock, never phased
Whoopity Doo god that was the stupidest/worst throw he ever made. I was glad he made it. Saints deserved to win that game.
What a legendary coaching staff
Unmatched
If Holmgren had stayed, we'd have had another 2-3 super bowls easy
@@fenner1986 man absoIuteIy, as a young person on the cusp of knowIedge this WAS the WTF moment in footbaII history. He wanted GM and head coach, gb FUKd tht up.
Guess no one got the joke dude! Uhh no Favre is a bad ass
True. What a legendary quarterback
This man motivated me to tear up footballs gunnin them at trees as a kid. All my friends didn’t like catching passes from me. His highlights still give me chills. What a legend.
Toughest quarterback ever and this is coming from a die hard Chicago Bears fan..#respect#4
Best rivalry right here. Mad respect for the bears and their fans!
Bears fan too 1000% agree
As a packers fan I respect that. I also admire the bears greats. Walter Peyton, Dick Butkus, Hester, ect. Mutual respect. Long live OUR rivalry
Chicago who?
Trubitsky is the GOAT. Look at all he's done in the few years he's been in the NFL. Dude will go down in history as the best
Everyone’: Mahomes has the best arm ever
Favre: hold my wranglers
Nobody has ever said Mahomes has the best arm ever
@@CumClan69 he does
You mean Marino right?
@Packfan69 no
2008-2014 Rodgers also had a stronger arm. Threw absolute lazers. Surprised Packers receivers haven't all broken their hands catching passes from Favre and Rodgers since 1992 lol
My single most favorite QB of all time. He’s the reason I fell in love with football 💯💯💯💯
Always touches my heart strings when I watch his performance after his dad died. You know his team had his back and played their guts out for him. I think every one was pulling for him that day
@Cameron Grant funny you say that. I'm a Raider fan
Man, Sterling Sharpe was a heck of a receiver
It's too bad about the neck injury. Just 2-3 more years, and S. Sharpe would have had nearly every receiving record for the Packers. Especially, with B. Favre throwing to him.
Definitely. He was a monster. Brooks and Freeman were great, but not on Sharpes level.
Sterling Sharpe should have a bronze bust and a gold jacket.
Easily the best receiver Favre has ever had. Blazing speed, excellent route running, and amazing catching ability. In his playing days he made his brother Shannon look like a bum. Even Shannon will tell you that.
@@cyrillesu yeah ik, Shannon even said in his HoF induction speech that he wasn't even the best player in his family, didn't he
Man, miss this guy. Imagine him playing in a league where you can't touch the QB? Watching Favre makes me feel like a kid again, just remember that shoulder dip he used to do then WHOOOSH the football would come out of his hand like it was on a string. Dude was a superhero..
Vicodin can make you a hero too.
@@tombryan1 DOUCHEBAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s called the Tom Brady rule
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese haha, NO. Just like the "tuck rule" was made for Brady too. The boy has had the refs under his jockstrap since he started playing
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese name me the most important time the "tuck rule" saved a team with the BS ruling?? Wasn't ACTUALLY the "Brady rule" as the tuck rule was made before he was even in the league, but he got the most benefit from it. The "Brady Rule" "prohibits defensive players who are on the ground from "lunging" at a quarterback's legs. The rule was created to prevent the kind of injury that sidelined Patriot QB Tom Brady for the entire 2008 season." You can look up both of them and shut up now lol
Favre was like a kid on the playground when he celebrated a touchdown. Loved that.
The age of the true tough days of an NFL Quarterback ended when Brett retired. Now they are treated with kid gloves and the age of the primadonna is in full effect. I'm glad I'm old enough to witness football as it should be played. Brett, my man you are one of the best to have played. A true GUN SLINGER.
Farve played mostly like crap. Until his first hit in every game. Once he got hit it was a different story. I remember just waiting for that first hit in every game, so he'd start playing.
As it should be played? You mean guys getting career threatening injuries, addictions to painkillers, brain damage, etc? I agree the pendulum has swung the other way, but I'd prefer the health and safety of the players
@@danor6812 Our family said that all the time! Once he got knocked on his ass he just woke up and went to town on the other team!
the dudes sense of humor and jus plain having fun and loving the game is what i most admired about brett
If you dont get choked up during the "favre lost his father" game... you have no soul...
Guess I have no soul, which is fine since souls aren't real anyways
Well I guess I have no soul
John37Fold I remember that game. They had a picture of his dad sitting on the lazy boy with a beer 🍺 watching the game. It was the most American picture I’ve ever seen. And he won the game too!
I remember watching that game and there was no way he was going to lose that game everyone on the team put it all on the line.
John37fold what ghost facef*cked you?😂😂😂
My favorite qb of all time he literally is what any qb should aspire to be cause he was a FOOTBALL player not just a QB
I can't help but keep watching this from time to time, Brett will always be my fav hands down i mean there's nobody like brett. The electricity and excitement everytime he ran on the field, all those unbelievable moments, all the records good and bad ... there will never be another brett
There is one quality Favre has had that no other great QB in NFL history will ever have: Exciting unpredictability. When you watch Brady, Manning, Montana, etc. they’re amazing but 80-90% of the time you went into the game with the mindset of they’re probably gonna win. With Favre you didn’t know what you were gonna get. He would single handedly win games he and his team had no business being in and lose games he and the Packers should have dominated. It always came down to him too: He would throw that winning TD between 4 defenders or throw that horrible pick right to one. Favre was the mystery box of NFL greats, and it was exciting to watch because you never knew what you were gonna get. Even when he lost or performed bad, the majority of the games were still exciting.
I remember him winding back to throw and flinging the ball 15 yards behind him quite regularly at bad times. Lol
Mehoy Minyoy so true. The man was worshiped like a God in Wisconsin back in the day. I remember going into Pick N Save or some other store and there was a shrine to Brett in there.
Yeah unpredictable. Unless he was playing the Niners. Fuck that guy.
By unpredictability, I think you mean "can't bet on him in Vegas".
Charles D. Sutherland Couldn’t bet for him or against him, never knew what kind of outing he was gonna give you.
08:36 "I gotta see this. This is Favre out here. Brett Favre." - What every nfl player at the time should have said.
RomanoLemm Imagine if the Packers would have drafted Randy Moss his rookie year....
Shit with his arm throwing to moss. Randy would have set that touchdown record slot sooner in his career haha
@@kirkcrawford5091 True, Favre loved looking for the deep balls to show off his cannon
That’s awesome
8:53 can freeman get some love for this toe tap?
12:37 yall dont know nothing about haywood jeffries 😁
I had a hard time with that nfc title loss to the giants in 07. It was one of the most heart breaking losses, because if anyone deserved one more ring it was that guy.
Can't figure out why or how Eli fucking Manning kept coming to Lambeau and beating us ×2 on his way to 2 SB wins.
The loss to the Saints in ‘09 was pretty bad too.
@Fries I feel it’s because he and the team had many other promising seasons end empty handed. He won many MVP awards as well as several division titles yet it all only translated to one ring.
Yes it’s not *all* on him. But I feel he and the team lacked killer instinct in the playoffs every time except for of course ‘96.
@@stevedrouillard1585 07 it was the giants wrs they burned al harris all game and Ryan Grant ran for like 30 yards
@@peterlundsten3302 I know that man, thanks for reminding me. Just opened up all those old wounds. Lol
Favre as a Viking was my fav era of his career. Dude was getting pummeled and still was a beast.
Reminds you how good Sterling Sharpe was. When Sharp played there was one receiver considered better, that just happened to be Jerry Rice. Sterling should be in the HoF.
We have 2020 hof still
It's also important to realize the most important difference between Rice and Sharpe. Rice was drafted by a SB winning team and played with 2 of the most accurate QB's of all time. When Sharpe was drafted by the Packers, Green Bay was considered the wasteland of the NFL and their QB situation was a mess.
Sterling IS in the HOF
@@russellehler6706 His brother Shannon is but Sterling isn't!
Even the great Cris Carter was considered inferior to Sterling in the early '90s.
Favre was great. But man Sterling Sharpe was destined to be great before his injury
Probably the worst part of that is the team won a title the year after Sharpe had to hang it up. That's got to suck beyond belief.
Sharpe is the Terrelle Davis of wide receivers, and like Terrelle Davis, I think he should be in Canton.
I think Sharpe would have retired next to Jerry Rice if not for that injury.
yeah... watching this, jeez we had an amazing receiving group...
If Sharpe not retired early, Brett could have another ring to his collection
Favre is my first memory of a truly great quarterback. I remember learning the game of football and Favre was the guy who taught me through the screen. So much appreciation and respect for him, he’ll always be my favorite QB.
No Doubt About That Nathan, You'll Always Love Brett Favre As Your Favorite Quarterback.
There is no quarter back that is as fun to watch as Favre was. He simply loved the sport and it showed through even during the rough games.
Now he steals from the poor
I never had more fun watching football then when Brett Favre played for the Pack.
Fax
More fun than when he stole from the poor and gave to himself.
@Trying to be fair and objective judging by your CZcams handle, you are the apitome of mentally deficient. Show me where Brett Favre was elected to ANY office where he had ANY control over any funds, and the allocation thereof. You are inept, misinformed, and literally stupid for making this comment
*"No more rocket balls please"* X''D
That td pass to Freeman in the superbowl is no joke the prettiest pass I’ve ever seen. He hits freeman perfectly in stride . Just wow
I loved watching Brett Farve, In the UK the games were aired very late and it made it worth staying up until the early hours.
As a Packers fan, I really felt that “Time cures all wounds” line.
The only packer game i went to was the Packer Home game on 11/1/09 when Favre came in in purple. I have to say looking back, those years sucked hard, but man is it hard to hate the guy.
@Timothy Dexter He had retired and we had already given the starter position to Aaron, then he decided he didn't want to retire and wanted his spot back. We committed to our new guy but Brettt wanted to be a starter so we sent him to the Jets. Then Brett got petty and went to the Vikings to beat the Packers in retribution. That's why we hated him chief.
@@Wisconsam2117 - Obviously he felt betrayed by the Packers. You don't know all that went on behind the scenes. Given how he had no history of being difficult or a boat rocker up to that point, it's my belief he was told in so many words Aaron would get the nod and his initial reaction was to retire because he couldn't see himself playing anywhere else. Then he changed his mind and took it as "if they're going to shit on me, F em." After a stint with the Jets, he wanted revenge for casting him aside. Regardless if that's what happened or not, he didn't owe the fans anything. GB fans owed HIM. Petty reaction. Should have given him the benefit of the doubt knowing his history.
Favre is a class act guy and loved watching him play! We are lucky to have watched such a talented athlete!!
Favre is many things, but a class act is not one of them
Damn I wish Favre was playing in this era where I actually watch football lol. I was just little kid in his prime. Would’ve loved to see him play
My favorite player of all time. The gunslinger! His passion was unmatched and I am a vikings fan.
My favorite quarterback ever.
-Lifelong Chiefs fan
me 2 bro
The best part about Brett Favre is that he broke the hearts of Vikings fans even as a Viking
are you fucking kidding? watch that game again, he overcame 3 or 4 Peterson fumbles and the Saints ended fined for ILLEGAL hits throughout the game. go fuck yourself Favre was MVP that year and was ROBBED of his third Super Bowl appearance.
No he broke all green bay fans hearts they where crying about it for like 5 years when he played for the jets and Vikings and after he fully retired and he is better then Aaron Rodgers
The best part is he joined the vikings to get revenge on packers. And his last game was in a vikings uniform not packers
@@consciousmachine4138 all he had to do was run the ball, but he threw it across the field for a interception while they were in Field Goal range.
A Vikings number "4" brett Favre jersey is hanging in the HOF, you mad about that?
Brett Favre is the reason I got into and played football. He just made it look like so much fun while playing.
The Welfare Collector 😂
Allegedly
At his best, 3 consecutive MVPs. Favre was the baddest man on the planet. He would have wrecked the league today. 300+ consecutive starts will never be broken and he did it when the NFL was a whole lot different than it is today.
I’m a saints fans But Brett farve is my favorite quarterback of all time
Cool dude seems like the type to cameo on 200th episide youtube special
Vince Young also
I grew up where he lives in MS. This guy used to drink a case a beer all night on Friday then step on the field and torch teams like Alabama with USM. Absolute legend.
LIFE LONG BRONCO FAN HERE. I loved watching Brett Favre era packers! The good old days.
My favorite QB of all time
Same
💯
My favorite player forever
Amen!
Trying To Pick A Good Username he is the reason y I love Green Bay . Don’t get me wrong a rod is a beast we bless to have to great qb but no one was like Brett in his prime
I’m a die hard Eagles fan but when I first started to fall in love with football, Brett Favre was my favorite player.
The thing with Brett was you could always count on him no matter what...as a teammate, coach, or fan, no matter what the injury or circumstance, the man would be there. Toughest and most dependable player in modern times.
All those 90s games I was the kid repaying farve with my brothers in the backyard
We need another heart stopping pulse pounding tear jerking passionate player like him! My favorite player of all time
MISS #4
It had to be extremely disappointing though to see Favre only win one ring though
I’m sure everyone thought he and the team were going to win more
Favre was a great QB. But part of what made him great was his absolute love for the game. He didnt just do it as a job, he did it because he really just had the time of his life playing.
And that’s why it’s criminal he didn’t win more than 1 ring.
After 1996, he got quiet
I think what I enjoyed most about Favre's game, besides being an absolute shooter, was how much fun he was having. He looked like playing football was the secret to finding true happiness in life.
The toughest, most electrifying and passionate I have ever seen play the game.
Just loved watching him play. He played like an excited kid every game.
Hate him or love him but he is one of the best !! He is the reason I’m a pack fan !! GO PACK GO!! Thanks Gun Slinger !! Great memories
My favorite Farve quote of all time. Ask the refs "Hey u got any left handed footballs?"
Nah.. you think god ever farted lol
Nah its: " hey I got some advice for ya, take 2 weeks off- then quit"
That first year he was a Viking, I went on 2 road trips to see him play. Both were losses, and they only lost 4 games that year. I stayed home the rest of the season.
Steelers? Carolina?
Chicago ? Arizona?
Favre is my favorite QB ever, by a landslide... and, as hard as it is to admit lately, I'm a die hard Cowboys fan! Favre was just so friggin' tough, especially as an "old man" in the NFL, and so friggin' ballsy with his plays, that I just couldn't help but love him.
His first season with the Vikings was the most fun (and, in the end, most heartbreaking) period of time I have ever had, and probably *will* ever have, as a football fan.
God bless Brett Favre!
Brett Favre is hands down the best QB in all my years that I have watched football. You would live him hate him and jump up and down praising his name in a game. I don't think any other quarterback has ever captured a audience's attention as much as he has! Way to go Brett I know you'll be a he drive in many a young QBs hearts and minds for years to come.
his decision making was mediocre. had the golden arm but literally the most trigger happy qb of all time who didnt think twice or wait for any route to develop. Id say Tom Brady was the best QB of all time. Didnt have exactly the arm of Favre but his arm was extremely good and his decision making no offense was 10x better than Favres

Facts
Gunslinger to bandit
Football will never be the same. Brett favre will always hold the number one legendary quarterback of all time (my opinion, and millions of others I’m sure) I waited all week for Sunday to come around jus to see what he was capable of next ! Brett was amazing!
I’m like the Biggest Chicago Bears fan there is. And let me tell you something Green Bay had super Man in a green uniform much respect for that man and what he did for that small town in Wisconsin I really did enjoy watching him play. Coming from a Chicago guy. 💪
So...The Incredible Hulk?
Nicholas Shaw that to ✌️
I am a Chicago native and a of course a Bears fan.
BUT GOD I STILL LOVED BRETT FAVRE ! 😁😁😖😖😭😭😭
That Antonio Freeman catch off his back is probably the best catch of all time. Legendary team!
I had the privilege to see him play his whole career, the best ever!!!! Thanks Brett for the great memories.......I still can't get into the game watching Rogers play to this day!
The Greatest Must See Quarterback In History
John Lopez Facts. He was so exciting.
Yeah i feel good knowing the 1st NFL game i went to was Farvre playing Steve McNair(RIP).
Breakglass Dawkins prime brett. And I’m a KC fan
Wtf r my packers gunna do after Rogers to have 2 golden arm mvp QB back 2 back
Marino as well
6:56 - Jerry Glanville, the Falcon coach who wouldn't play Favre and shipped him to the Packers for nothing, would go on to lose his job and become an "analyst", calls Favre a "wizard".
I like the idea that there's this successful analyst somewhere who swears Favre's actually magical because him being good doesn't make any sense.
Dude the falcons would of had a dynasty if we didn’t trade him
He's now a def coord in the xfl.
@@jhanick That's insane. That guy is like 80 years old. I had to look it up to confirm, sheesh.
That had to be hard to force that outta his mouth
As a 49ers fan who grew up watching Favre crush our dreams in the 90's on several occasions... all I can say is how happy I am that I got to watch this man play football. Mad respect.
Grew up watching him with my dad every week, looking back its pretty wild how well he could throw the ball
So many of his TD passes absolute DARTS! Love this man
I'm from Mississippi, I was 2 years old in 1991. I finally got to meet him when we were at a restaurant in Florida.
We got him to sign his autograph with a crayon. He said " I've never signed an autograph with a crayon"
His wife didnt really like it we came over, but who cares it was Brett Favre! Then the rest of the people started going over and taking pictures. We all know he still enjoyed it!
Love seeing starter brand bring back a lot of memories.
When your first NFL completion is to yourself - *you are the GOAT* 🐐
It's great to look back in time.
Brett Favre was great and is missed.
2019 July here.
Bears fan here,he's my favorite player ever,such child like enthusiasm when he plays,so much joy to have watched him play.
That comeback win against Cincy was Brett’s way of giving Jerry Glanville the double barreled middle finger
I’m a Viking fan so he drove me crazy for years, but 2009 was the most fun I’ve ever had in a season!
Thank you Throwback for these banger highlight videos
Dear nfl throwback. How’s about using your time to make the NFL American again like it was back then.
There were many REAL and better gunslingers who fought And killed and sometimes died fighting UNDER THAT FLAG 🇺🇸 to end slavery help stop Hitler and save South Korea and much more. NBA and Dallas Cowboys made a simple rule that you can’t piss on the flag on our dime, but the NFL can’t do that so screw them and screw you djkd
@@ibperson7765 wtf
Johnny Angell Im not clear about what you are asking
Art Boman the players are just using their right to peaceful protest, plus none of them have said they hate soldiers or the military. They are just using their platform to protest, nothing wrong with that
Stfu who gives a shit.
Thank you, NFL Throwback! Brett was SPECIAL, indeed!!!
It's not about just the stats or the rings, its about the story. Nobodys career told a better story than Brett, it's not even close. Nobody gave you more emotion and more feeling watching them play. The game of football hasn't been the same since he retired and it never will be. The last true gridiron warrior at the position and the best.
Maybe but it’s still sad how he got his ring early on and then immediately fizzled out from there on out when everyone thought he would win more
What a fantastic gamer. Tough as nails. He also had some really great receivers. Great times, great games. Give me 11 players with his heart and guts and we are unbeatable.
Farve had a lot of great recievers, but for those tough tight games, it’s a shame Strerling Sharpe was injured out of football way too early. Sterling was truly a great reciever.
That's shannon sharpe's brother, right?
cmarbormaster yes, I think he works for the NFL Network
Sterling Sharpe. Great Packer Receiver Ever. Favre could have won 10 Super Bowls if he hadn't gotten a career ending injury.
Brett Favre MADE all of his wide receivers. The only legit one he had was Sharpe. Bill Schroeder anyone? My god ..
Well said! He made average receivers great! I don't remember who it was, but there was a WR that left on free agency after leading the team 1 year in receps or yards. Never, I mean Never heard about him again. He was gone within 3 years. @@docsylva2876
People forget how great Sterling Sharpe was. He was instrumental in Favres early success. He was an absolute security blanket for Favre early on.
A friend of mine just passed. Was almost 27 years. However
Brett Favre was his favorite player Rip Derek Lee.
Rise in Paradise.

Never has anyone made any sport so exciting to watch as Brett Favre
Wow what a career. But man those interceptions vs Giants in OT and vs Saints in 4th qtr are so much painful to happen in championship games.
Naw. Packers were shit until Mackowski and Favre turned it around. 30 years of losing. Favre led them to back to back Super Bowls, a Super Bowl win and many winning seasons. Packers screwed up by not giving him elite players. Same thing they are doing to Aaron Rodgers. I'd take winning and having a chance to win a playoff game to never making it to the playoffs at all.
His last throw as a Packer, Jet and Viking all ended in back-breaking picks.
xnreyescj actually, his last throw with the Vikings was a completion. Then a bears defender drove him into the frozen turf at TCF and broke his collarbone.
don't forget all the helmet to helmet blows on favre by the saints, and late hits out of bounds... I wasn't going for either team and it was clear as day that game was rigged.
Yasir Sitara bounty gate
The excitement on his face when in his first start he brought the packers back against the bengals, he had a childish exuberance, just for the joy of playing.
The announcer, Jim Irwin, when he said the pack could win if they scored a touchdown in just over a minut, had a sarcastic tone then...but who wouldn't, a rookie can't do that.
Thank you for sharing this video. Favre’s pure joy made the game fun. Brett Favre will always be my favorite quarterback!!
Like Randy Moss at 8:35, as a Vikings fan, you always had to watch the game when he was out on the field. I had a blast watching him as a kid against my team and when he came to my team (in 2009) I was skeptical. But after the "hail mary" touchdown to Greg Lewis (2009) I was in for a short, unforgettable ride that almost sent the Vikings back to the Super Bowl. Aside, all of the interceptions, Brett Favre was and is amazing! #favre
I know it's not quite a perfect fit but I think Favre was very much in the mold of Kenny Stabler. Both were guys who were gunslingers and could be streaky as hell. Favre is the last of the rugged individualistic QBs IMO.
Baker Mayfield has arrived. And yes, I'm comparing the two, in style.
I can see it, there's a little of Drew Brees in him too.
Carson Wentz.
Wait till tagovailoa hits the NFL and starts threading needles

In Favre's 19th season with the Vikings, he was just as good as any other year in his career. His 20th season his performance fell off the cliff. But what a heck of a career this guy had. Before Brady and Brees it was unheard of to have a QB perform so well at such an advanced age.
I loved to see him play. He could outsmart every opponent.
Brett Favre is and always will be my favorite NFL player of all-time
Im a packer fan and he is my fav QB EVER
SwedishFishKING ! Damn even over aaron rodgers who has the samestyle with no picks? Wow
@@russell9411 i never said he is the best I said my favorite
Mine is Peyton Manning but I’m a broncos fan so I get u
Yep, same here! Been a Packers fan since the late 70s and still am. While I think Aaron Rogers is good, Favre was better, more creative and had the better eye...

I wouldn't call their style "the same." Great as Rodgers is, he seems very protective of his stats and rarely takes chances with the ball.
Seems like everything was in its place then.. simpler times, great times.. just great
My favorite QB of all time Bret made me fell in love with the game I loved his reckless style of playing the gun slinger mentality was fun to watch he was never intimidated by any defense
