Brett Favre vs. Steve Young: Who's the better quarterback?

[Suburbia]

This was one of the great quarterback rivalries of the mid 1990s....Favre's Packers and Young's 49ers were in each other's way along with the Aikman-Cowboys of getting to the Super Bowl.....

Who was the better quarterback?

Brett Favre: Super Bowl XXXI Champion, 3x NFL MVP, Pro Football Hall of Fame
Steve Young: Super Bowl XXIX Champion, Super Bowl MVP, Pro Football Hall of Fame

Young was probably “better” but Favre was more of a legend, if that makes any sense.

I'd rather have Young on my team.

I'd rather have Young on my team.

Why? He only went to 1 Super Bowl, Favre went to back and back and nearly beat Elway and Sharpe in '98...

1.everything else equal, I prefer the more mobile QB (which is odd because my favorite QB is Marino)
2.I prefer Young's attitude over Favre's
3.Young could have won more if he didn't spend so much of his early career on the bench or in the USFL


also, it would depend on how the rest of my offense was talent wise.  If I had a good Oline and some super fast WRs, Farve would be my pick.  But if just average Oline and average WRs, I'd rather have Young.
