Elway nearly fell into the Dan Marino file except late in his career a big man named Davis carried his ass to the promised land.
I am a HUGE Montana fan and without a doubt he's the only man that has a real argument for being better than Favre. Montana is the ultimate winner with ice water running through his veins. He also played on without a doubt the greatest team of his era with nobody even coming close. I just can't rid myself of him limping around in a brace in a chiefs uniform but bringing that sorry ass team to the playoffs.
Manning and Brady will deserve being in that argument in the near future.
Simple fact is remove a couple of Favres late seasons, have him retire a few years ago and he's way higher on everybody's lists of top QB's. He greatly harmed his legacy in his later years and that insane collapse with the Jets and the divorce with the pack.
With Favre it just depends on if "fun" enters your rankings. I've never enjoyed AND hated watching a player more. Montana and Brady are both alike but are fairly robot like and and predictable. They are conservatives who are afraid to chuck the ball down the field. Montana was a great short yardage QB that nickel and dimed you on yardage but he didn't have the "gun" of an Elway or Favre. Elway became a champ when he LOST his gunslinger ways. If Favre could have lost his gunslinger ways the Jets may have gone to the Super Bowl just like the year before the Pack would have if Favre wouldn't have been trying to rocket shit in there like he used to. If Favre could have pulled an Elway the Pack quite possibly would have gone back to back champs since they really had a LOT of talent on both sides of the ball.
