Perhaps the most impressive reason to "Canton-ize" Brett Favre immediately, as Larry McCarren called for nine years ago: a host of NFL regular season records Favre now owns.

In fact, according to NFL.com's listing of passing records, only Dan Marino has more major NFL passing records than Favre.

We'd be here forever trying to list all of Brett Favre's Packers franchise records, so instead, we'll just give you number 4's league records include, within and beyond the NFL passing record page:

- Most attempts: 8,758
Favre set this Dan Marino-held record during the Packers' 23-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings on September 30, 2007.

- Most completions: 5,377
Brett took this Marino-owned record when he hit Carlyle Holiday with a 21-yard pass during the Packers' 17-9 victory over the Detroit Lions on December 17, 2006.

- Most passing yards: 61,665 (the equivalent of 35.07 miles)
Favre took another of Marino's all-time marks by hitting Donald Driver for a seven-yard gain during the Packers' 33-14 triumph over the Saint Louis Rams on December 16, 2007.

- Most touchdown passes: 442
Brett hit Greg Jennings for a 16-yard touchdown pass to overtake Marino again and power Green Bay in its 23-16 win over the Vikings.

- Most wins by a starting QB: 160
Favre earned this mark, surpassing John Elway in the Packers' 35-19 victory over the eventual Super Bowl Champion New York Giants on September 16, 2007.

- Most consecutive starts by a quarterback: 253
Brett nabbed this Ron Jaworski-held record when he took the field for his 117th consecutive start in the Packers' 14-13 loss to the Chicago Bears on November 7, 1999.

- Most Associated Press MVP Awards: 3
Brett overtook Johnny Unitas when the AP awarded a split of the honor with Barry Sanders for his performance during the 1997 NFL season.

- Most seasons leading NFL in touchdown passes: 4 (tied with three others)
Favre took his fourth league-leading mark in 2003 when he delivered 32 scoring throws.

- Most seasons, 3,000+ yards passing: 16
In his entire Green Bay career, Favre has never had less than 3,227 yards, the mark he set in his first year as a Packer. Favre set the record, overtaking Dan Marino, with his 2005 total of 3,881 yards.

- Most consecutive NFL postseason games with a touchdown pass: 18
Brett broke Joe Montana's all-time postseason total with his first of three touchdown passes in the Packers' 42-20 playoff win over Seattle on January 12, 2008.

- Most postseason passing yards: 5,311
Brett eliminated another Montana record during the Packers' 42-20 playoff win over Seattle on January 12, 2008.

- Longest pass completion: 99 yards, to Robert Brooks at Chicago, 1995
(tied with nine others)

And, yes, one he'd rather forget:

- Most interceptions: 288
Favre "earned" this mark with an interception thrown to the late Sean Taylor during the Packers' 17-14 victory over the Washington Redskins on October 14, 2007.
