Favre concluded, by saying that Tom Brady is "without question" the greatest NFL quarterback of all time.
"I think from a quarterback perspective, we're measured first and foremost by wins – Super Bowl wins – at that. And he, by far, is head over heels in front of everybody who's ever played. And I think that our generation will never see anyone like him again."
