Marino was a beast too .
Imagine if he played around the same number of seasons as favre.
All the records.
This statement is so incorrect its not even funny. People always talkin about how Favre played so many years and that is why he has ALL the records.
when in actuality he only played a few more years than the greatest QBs, but when it comes to the numbers, its not even close.
Example: Favre vs Dan Marino:
Favre played in the NFL for 20 seasons, but did not play his rookie season in Atl.(He had 4 pass att all season) So he accumulated all of his stats in 19 seasons.
Dan Marino played 17 seasons. So Marino only played 2 less seasons than Favre. But look at the numbers and you will see that he had no chance of catching Favre on any of his records, even if he did play two more years.

I could go on but no need.
