Why Kurt Warner Is Better Than Brett Favre

Brett Favre is recognized by many fans and experts as the greatest quarterback to every play the game of football. He has countless records, such as most career touchdowns, most career passing yards, and most career completions. Even with that being said, he is still not better than Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Kurt Warner.

Kurt Warner posts a higher QB rating—93.8 to 85.4. Twice Warner has had a QB rating over 100, something Favre has never done in 17 tries.

Warner has a 65.4 completion percentage to Favre's 61.6. Five times Favre's completion percentage was below 60, something Warner has never done.

When Warner has played at least 11 games he averages 31 TD per year. Over the course of Favre's career, he averages 27 TD.

Warner has the highest passing yards per game at 261 in NFL history. Favre is at 238 yds/game.

But what really makes Warner better than Favre? It's the playoffs.

In 10 career playoff games, Warner has a 97.3 QB rating, 23 TD, 12 INT, 64 completion percentage, and averages 299 yds passing per game. He also holds the No. 1 and 2 spots for most passing yards in the Super Bowl. He is 8-2 (80 percent) in those games with a Super Bowl.

In 22 career playoff games, Favre has a 85.2 QB rating, 39 TD and 28 INT, 60.7 completion percentage, and averages 241 yds passing per game. He is 12-10 (54 percent) in those games with a Super Bowl.

The only thing that Favre has on Warner is that he has played longer. When given the opportunity Warner is more efficient and an overall better QB than Favre is. And if he can get a win over the Steelers he will have the edge in yet another category...rings.
