Marino or Favre?
I may be a bit biased seeing how I am a die-hard Packers fan but I am going to say Favre over Marino. They aren't too far apart in the stat categories and Favre does have the Superbowl ring. (and he went twice to Marino's once). I am also going to say Favre historically has played behind a weaker O-line than Marino.
What does everyone else think?

I think it takes a team to win a SB ring. So it doesn't matter near as much to me who has one in terms of individual performances.
And judging on that alone. I'd give it to Marino.

You still need a team for the individual accomplishments as well though. Quite honestly you need the team for everything lol.

I might have to go with Marve on this one...seriously though I'll go with either of ironmen but if I had to pick one have to be Favre with the rocket arm.

I'm glad we agree then... SB rings don't mean a whole lot for comparisons of individuals.

I think I'd have to go with Favre on this. While there is the arguement that Marino was much less of a gunslinger and risk taker, I think Favre is just a better team player and of course, his arm strength is amazing.
Favre had many more interceptions in his career, but at the end of the day, he won you games with his ability more than Marino did. In my opinion that is.

Dan is the man in my book... He didnt sit on the sideline with a towel over his head and cry like a little girl... The come from behind victories... Second year in the league made it to the SB to loose against a then young Montana... Not only his accomplishments but his character got my vote...

Favres career isn't over yet and Dans is...
Right now its pretty close.. but by the time Favre Retires.. as much as I hate the guy for being the whiney punk he is.. I think he will have had the better career overall and will stand out to me as the better QB.

According to various sites (Packers.com for Favre, a number of different sites for Marino) Dan Marino (37) only has one more fourth quarter comeback than Favre (36).

Favre enters his 16th season as a starter (including his first season as a Packer)...Marino played 17. I will start off with the fact that Favre is a durable as you can get, bearing countless injuries to lead the team...202 quarterbacks have started a game since he made his first start in September of 1992.
Notable Records:
Most Attempts, Career:
1. Marino -> 8,358
2. Favre -> 8,223 (-136)
Most Completions, Career:
1. Favre -> 5,021
2. Marino -> 4,967
Most Yards Passing, Career:
1. Marino -> 61,361
2. Favre -> 57,500 (-3,862)
Most Touchdown Passes, Career:
1. Marino -> 420
2. Favre -> 414 (-7)
Most Victories, Career:
1. Elway -> 148
2. Favre -> 147
3. Marino -> 147
Favre will undoubtedly break all of these records this season...the only one in question is the "Most Passing Yards". He has surpassed that number in each of the last three seasons, but it will be close.
Also, Favre's completion percentage (61.1%) leads those QBs with more than 6,000 attempts...Marino (59.4%)...Elway (56.9%).
He has also broken Marino's records for most seasons with 3,000 or more yards (15-13), consecutive seasons with 3,000+ (15-9), and seasons with 4,000 or more yards (4-3). Not to mention holding the record for most 30+ TDs in a season (8-4).

Marino will always be a top 5 QB but when Favre breaks almost all his records then will Marino be better then Favre??? Plus Favre went to the Superbowl two times in a row and won it once well Marino led his team there once in his second year as a started which is hard but he never got back there.
