allright i'm a packer fan myself and grew up watching brett favre but serioulsy he is not better than marino and tom brady is not better than troy aikman and second where in the hell is elway. Here's how it should look
1.Dan Marino-j
Just because he didn't win a super bowl doesn't mean he isn't #1, Trent dilfer won a super bowl for gods sake so don't hold that against him
2. John Elway-
Don't remember how many superbowls maybe 3 won 2 in a row and beat brett favre in SB XXXII
3. Brett Favre-
The Iron man has i Belive 221 straight starts. won 3 consecutive MVP's and won a super bowl went to 2. Is second on just about every passing category ( behind marino). Played the entire 2001 season with a broken thumb and took them to the divisional playoffs.
4. Terry Bradshaw-
The 4 super bowl wins are hard to look past.
5. Troy Aikman-
He was such a great player don't remember super bowl wins or losses, but knew he was in a few.
6. Bart Starr-
Took the packers to 2 super bowls in a row and won how ever many championships before the super bowl
7. Tom Brady-
3 super bowls in 4-5 years was playing in my mind when i made this pick. It also helps when your a seventh round pick. so i had to make him seventh.
8.Johnny Unitas-
Won a few NFL championships, but he ruined his retirement by going to finish his career with the chargers
9. Peyton Manning-
He is due for a super bowl. Unbelievable worker and all around great athlete
10. Trent Green-
One of the most underrated QB's in the league check out his career stats when you get a chance. Hey he's better that bledsoe lol.

Well, as you know, rating athletes involves a myriad of quantitative as well as qualitative data, and though I may take issue with your rankings above, I would say Brett Favre is in the top 5. I think my top 5 would be 1) Montana; 2) Unitas; 3) Elway; 4) Marino; 5) Favre.

Not in the top 10 (come on, where are Young and Elway), but Bledsoe is not better.

Not anywhere near the top 10.
1 SuperBowl win + 1 SuperBowl Loss + Tons of stupid regular season INTS + Like 5 or 6 INT's in one playoff game = Overrated for sure.
