I don't think evaluating a player by world championships is a valid measure.
As a QB or as a passer?

Or Starr was 3 1/2 times better than Unitas because he only won two championships.
Starr. Five world championships in a seven year span.
And that is the whole point, is it not?
1. Check your math
2. Glad somebody agrees. Losing to the Browns in a championship game, 27-0 and the Jets-Colts Super Bowl.
Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts won NFL championships in 1958 and 1959.
True, and 2 times 3 1/2 = 7. As much as I like Starr, I still only count five championships.

Favre was tougher and set records that AR, or any QB for that matter will never break...Rodgers throws a lot less interceptions and is more mobile.
Starr was the greatest championship wise, but AR has the best skillset. Favre was the toughest and set records that will never be broken by ANY QB...
I think championships has to be part of it, but it's certainly not all, or even most of it. Many consider Brady the greatest ever, but of those who rate him that high, their only argument is his SB rings...I happen to think there were many that were better than Brady, and some of them never even won a SB...I don't think evaluating a player by world championships is a valid measure.
He'll never break Favre's consecutive starts record...Drew Brees will hold most (or all?) passing records by the time he retires.

Are starts all that important?He'll never break Favre's consecutive starts record...
On some exotic beach, Matt Flynn takes a sip of a Bloody Mary and replies "well that depends upon who you ask"Are starts all that important?
Can't believe you even asked that.... yesAre starts all that important?
Looking at all time records, it seems Testaverde is 8th, Bledsoe is 9th and Unitas is 10th in starts. Does anyone think Vinny is an all time great?Can't believe you even asked that.... yes
Ask teams like the Browns and the Bears if they would prefer to have had only 2 starting QBs over the past 25 years or if they liked starting the crazy number they have had instead.
