Fran Tarkenton told 790 The Zone in Atlanta (via the Minneapolis Star Tribune):

“I think [Favre] has been a great flamboyant quarterback, but he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I’ve ever seen,” Tarkenton said. “Look at his final game in a Packers uniform [the 2007 NFC title game]. He blew that game against the Giants. He’s playing against Eli Manning. I love Eli Manning, but he’s still not a great quarterback. He’s not Peyton yet, or Tom Brady. He’s just a guy. And [the Packers] are playing at home, and they’re in a tight situation, they went to overtime and [Favre] throws the interception that allows [the Giants] to come back and win the game.”

Thanks Den for the heads up! Not sure how to take this comment from Fran (a childhood idol) about Eli (my fav all-time Giants QB) going into 2009. Glad he 'loves' Eli at least! How about you?
