BrettFavre’s not so lucky. Nobody – at least nobody who’s paid attention – considers him an elite big-game quarterback. And for all his numbers, he has just one championship in 19 seasons to show for it. Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger can sleep well at night by comparison.BrettFavre, for his part, needs all those big gaudy numbers to be considered among the all-time elite quarterbacks.Yet despite those records and the incredible volume numbers, he limps back for a 20th NFL season facing the very real possibility that Peyton Manning will eclipse all his records, says Stoppe.The move to an 18-game schedule will further increase the likelihood that Manning will break all these records if Favre doesn’t continue to play. Manning averages 250 yards per game. Five years at 18 games equals an additional 10 games. Those 10 games for Manning, if averages hold true, would equal an additional 2,500 yards and nearly 20 TDs to his career totals. Increasingly lax passing rules could also aid Manning.
