As one Bears homer to another Brett Farve getting hurt would suck. Then we would lose the chance to beat him twice in a season. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

agreed. my vikings rely on farve to throw them a touchdown every year.

The Packers lost 2 key WR, their premiere RB, and several offensive lineman. You think if the San Diego chargers or the NY giants had the same thing happen they would have a great record? Of course not.

I still say Farve should play one more year.

I don't know if you are using quick response or just responding to me. But I agree with you, he still has gas left in the tank. I think about it like this. How would Manning be if he lost Edge, Harrison, Wayne, Clark, Mungro and Jeff Saturday. Probably not 11-0 if you ask me.

And anyway, are interceptions anything new for Brett Favre? All I see is a guy pushing to go down in history as the best QB ever, if he's not already.

Brett Favre is not a smart QB. He makes stupid decisions all the time. He also has an unbelievable arm. I think it is easy to fall in love with Favres highlight tapes because he makes amazing plays that seemingly no one else could make, but you also have to take into account the games he screws up.

I definitly would love to have Brett Favre on my team, but if I had my pick of any QB from any era, I would definitley rather have, Montana, Elway, Manning, Brady, Young, Unitas, Foutes, Marino...

No way is Favre the greatest of all time.

I love Brett Farve. He's the only QB who's allowed to throw interceptions.

"Oh, that was just Brett trying to make a play".

"He threw into triple coverage!"

"That's just because he's a gunslinger. Not many other QBs would try to do that".

"No kidding--they would through to the open checkdown guy."

good post.

Guys,

Yes, Favre throws a lot of interceptions. He's still a very valuable QB.

There is an obvious backlash against him due to the glowing media praise. Brett Favre can make an unbelievably stupid decision, cost his team a chance to win a game (a playoff game even) and the media more or less gives him a pass. Fans don't like to see guys get preferential treatment when they the screw up. If the media held Favre to the standards of every other QB, then this backlash wouldn't happen.

Brett Favre?

Most words penned about Brett Favre this season include words like "washed up," "lousy," and "interceptions." You might see a sentence that goes something like this: "Brett Favre is a lousy, wsahed up quarterback that throws a ton of interceptions."

Where exactly have you seen this written about him? Most of the stuff I have read this season has been almost the opposite (its not his fault his team sucks this year, etc.)
