Also, I have another serious question from another genre:

Favre's streak. It's tougher than Cal Ripken Jr.'s streak in baseball. Brady's is impressive, but he also has a loaded team helping him out. Favre has played with broken bones, dislocated joints, and through personal tragedies. That's damn tough.

Favre's consecutive starts record is one of the greatest records in all sports. To think that he has started every single regular season game for the past 250 games. Most Qb's can't go an entire season nowadays without missing at least one game, and he's gone over 15.
Brady's soon to be record is more about his receiving corp. He's got 4 receivers that would start on most other teams and Randy Moss might be the greatest receiver of all time.
If Moss were on any other team, Brady wouldn't even have a chance at the record. If he were on the Colts, Cowboys or Packers, we'd be talking about someone else entirely breaking that record.

Easily Favre's starts... that stat is astounding.... look at how close other people have come to it.... They're not even close for the most part. Brady's single season TD record could get broken within a year, and there are a few QB's who are within the ballpark for the record. It would be surprising to see someone break Favre's record within our lifetime, and as of now, no one is really in the same ballpark as him (Manning has a chance, but a lot can happen).

consecutive starts. he's there for the team and lays it all on the line. Favre is the definition of leadership, he sets an example for the young players on that roster. while the single season TD record is a great accomplishment, many other teams can simply pass for 30 TD's and run for 20 TD's to make it equivalent. Favre is the ironman, he will always be the ironman.

nicely he's on %. for fifty six TD throws the terrific time I checked and thinking he desires 29 in 10 video games and has 21 in 6 video games i think of of that could be a tremendously good wager barring harm. that could be a disgrace, by way of certainty as good as Brady is he isn't Peyton Manning. If Manning had that Patriot team he might throw 60. And no i'm not a Colts fan or Patriots hater.

Thats tough, Favre is a rugged dude, but lts not forget, Brady is on a consecutive start streak of his own. Also take into consideration that Brady realisticly could probably have over 50 TD's right now, and on his way to maybe 60. Thats like hitting 90 home runs in a baseball season. CRAZY!!!!

By far, Favre's consecutive starts. Brady's future single season TD pass record will be broken eventually, as will Favre's career TD record, but the consecutive starts by QB record will most likely never be broken!

I would say Favre's consecutive starts. Maybe I'm a little biased about this because I think Tom Brady is a whinny little girl. I have much more respect for Favre though and his "I put my pants on the same way is you do" attitude. You gotta love the guy!

Depends what you personally hold more value in, endurance or one season with fantastic conditions?
I'd say Favre's records are more impressive over 17 seasons and still playing like he did when he first started. He, as a player, is more impressive than Tom Brady even with less hardware, but Brady's, soon to be, record is something impressive in it's own right. Consecutive starts over 250 is just plain silly, Carolina's Dan Morgan (LB) has had a record high...maybe 7 starts? It's hard to not get hurt in the NFL...and he broke his thumb and kept playing. I want to check him for robotic parts....

without a doubt its Favre consecutive starts.
QB's get knocked around a lot and for him to have lasted this long is incredible. His durability is something to awe about.
The TD record deserves credit but what Favre has done is pretty impressive.
