Tonight, the Green Bay Packers will have a ceremony to elect arguably the greatest player in its franchise’s history into their Hall of Fame. From 1992-2007, Brett Favre was the leader and face of Green Bay Packers football. During his time as a Packer, he put up record-setting numbers at the quarterback position, as well as revitalized a once storied franchise to prominence. The question that is asked today is this: What are we going to remember about Brett Favre’s NFL career?

Well, being a quarterback, we almost instantly look at his numbers and championships. Record-wise, Favre retired on top of the mountain top. He ended his career as the all-time leader in touchdown passes, passing yards, completions, attempts and interceptions. For his teams, he has the most starts (298) and wins (186) in quarterback history.

Last season, Peyton Manning broke Favre’s touchdown record in Week 7. Barring injury or a complete erosion of skills, he is expected to break Favre’s records for wins, passing yards and completions by the end of the upcoming season. The only two records that are safe for the time being is his interception and career start records. So is that his legacy: interceptions and starts?

Well, we can look at his team success. During his career, he played in only two Super Bowls (won one and lost one). He seems less remembered for those back-to-back appearances and more for his last two NFC Championship Games, where in both games, Favre threw costly interceptions late in the game in defeats. For an all-time quarterback at the status Favre is at, I doubt he will be remembered for that. Joe Montana and John Elway are more remembered for their successes over their failures.

The best answer can be the simplest most of the time. I just sat down and asked myself, “What is the first thing you think about when you say Brett Favre?” The answer was fun. He played football like an intramural college quarterback, sitting back and slinging the ball around the field without hesitation, tackling and jumping in the arms of his linemen after scoring a touchdown and joking around with everyone on the field.

Though the image of Brett Favre has taken a hit over the past few years with his indecision to retire or not and his strained relationship with his successor, Aaron Rodgers, when I think about Brett Favre, I get the image of his Super Bowl touchdown pass that has him running to the sideline with his helmet in hand like he just won the game. He is the quintessential gunslinger quarterback in the modern NFL. So tonight, I will wear my Wrangler jeans with pride when he is elected into the Packers Hall of Fame. And I will wear them again next summer when he is elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first ballot.
