Brett Favre 1995-1997 over any other QB in history. And this was at a time when defense and the running game were legit.
40 year old Favre had his best statistical season in this 7-on-7 era we're in now. Rodgers is great but he benefits a ton from the style of football being played.
I don't see Rodgers throwing blocks on LBers 20 yards down field like Favre, either.
Sure, Favre was reckless at times throughout his career, especially in the 2000s but Favre at his best (95-97) over Rodgers at his best.
If Favre played his whole career in today's NFL he would be untouchable in my opinion.

In unrelated news, Adrian Peterson ran for 1383 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2009.

He played plenty in somewhat recent memory and threw 3 of the worst passes I've ever seen at the worst possible times to throw them.
1. 2003 playoffs in overtime at Philadelphia. Favre throws a pick so bad that Brian Dawkins basically could have fair caught it. He returns it for a nice gain, Eagles kick a FG, game and season over.
2. 2007 playoffs at home vs NYG. In overtime, Favre throws a horrendous out route that basically hit Corey Webster in the hands. NYG started their drive in FG range, kicked a FG, game and season over.
3. 2009 playoffs at NO. Statistically, Minnesota dominated that game. 3 Favre picks kept NO alive and his last one kept Minnesota from kicking a game winning FG. Minnesota loses in overtime.
If you remember these throws, you can't defend him for them. They were just awful. Everyone loves him because he was the great gunslinger, but he also set a career interceptions record that will likely never be broken.
ETA: I almost forgot about the 6 interception playoff game in St. Louis in 2001 when 3 of them were returned for touchdowns.
