Favre built himself into the best player in the game in the mid 90s, winning 3 straight MVPs and a Superbowl. Athletic, quick, strong, tough.

Farvre catches a lot of shit from fans, and he did make some terrible decisions over the years, but he was undoubtedly one of the top 5 QBs of all time.
Also, the comparisons that should be made should be based on Talent and ability alone.
Mahommes is a humble young man.
Farve is a guy who's explanation for why he attempted throws was: "because I can"
People will see the same kind of plays being made by Mahommes in college and determine that he plays with same mind set, but Mahommes played that way because it was the only way his team had any shot to win, on account of his defense allowing points on nearly every possession.
I think we will still see this kind of thing resurface early in his career but he will not be arrogant about it and will work to clean it up.
I think he has the tools, intelligence and character to be one of the best of all time, but there are so many variables that only time will tell.
