Arguably yes.In statistical terms, they both had spectacular careers - although Favre's career numbers are higher, he also played longer than Marino (at equal points in their careers, Marino was ahead). Marino still holds several key single season passing records (including most passing yards in a season), and although his single season touchdown record has been broken, it is still higher than Favre has ever thrown for in a single season.However, Marino never won an NFL MVP whereas Favre won three. Marino also never won a Superbowl, whereas Favre won one, and has a fair shot at winning a second one this year with Minnesota.
