Entering the 2007 season, Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre needs only seven more touchdown passes to top Hall of Famer Dan Marino on the NFL’s all-time list in that category. Dan has 420. Brett has 414. Nobody else is even close. Fran Tarkenton is in third place with 342. Of course, one still-active player, Peyton Manning, might have something to say about this record before he is done. Peyton has 275 TDs and counting.
You think this record didn’t have something to do with Brett’s return for another season in Green Bay? You’d better believe it did. I know the Packers are a promising young team, but Brett’s no dummy. He saw that record well within reach. He’s already got a Super Bowl ring. He wants the record.
he’s the bomb!!!!! what you expect?
Favre DOES want another Superbowl ring and he wants it more then the record because people have been saying he is old and he needs to retire. Can you even imagine how god-like he would be depicted if he beat the Patriots in the Superbowl after Brady crushes the TD record? People would be comparing him to Micheal Jordan and asking if he is one of the best athletes of all time.
