His case:

-5x NFL champion
-2x Super Bowl champion
-2x Super Bowl MVP
-1966 NFL MVP
-Led the league in comp. pct. 4x(62% when the league average was 51-52%)
-Led the league in passer rating 4x(exceeded 100 twice when the league average was 60)
-Retired as most accurate QB in NFL history
-Career average of 8 Y/A and 14 Y/C
-9-1 career postseason record, 15-3 TD/INT ratio, 105 passer rating
-Remains the highest-rated passer in playoff history despite being retired for 45 years(encompasses Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jim Kelly, John Elway, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, etc.)

With a resume like this, he's obviously the best QB in Packers history(until A-Rod wins another SB) and arguably the best QB in the NFL's first 50 years until Joe Montana assumed that label. He destroyed the curve during the Dead Ball Era regarding QB proficiency and efficiency and embodied winning more than anyone, also called his own plays which QBs don't generally do anymore. You could make a really good case he's the best playoff QB in NFL history.

Is there some debate about Starr's qualifications as one of the all time best QB's in NFL history. Never has been that I know of.

I just never hear him included among the top 10 all-time QBs, there are people out there that believe Johnny Unitas was a better QB than Starr was in that era.

Get back to me when Flacco has a higher passer rating and performs better in the playoffs, he has 2012 but Bart Starr has 5 rings and 2 Super Bowl titles and was more accurate in the postseason.

No kidding.

He argues relentlessly over people he never saw play.

Anybody remember that site where you had throwdowns or something where you debated this kind of shite and other users voted for the winner? This guy needs to find that website.

Can't remember the website name. If anybody does, please point this motherfricker in that direction.
