ESPN - Favre can come back not guaranteed starting job

[LittleBoyBlue]

Thank you. Thank you.

I said this when he retired... why he retired.

Too easy to figure out if you ask me.

You think the Packers brass is sick of watching Bretty boy tank every playoff game?

 

[DisabledMess]

Aaron Rodgers is better than him.

Maybe you're right but Favre makes too many mistakes. He made them his whole career. I'm still stunned that he actually won a Super Bowl.

Thanks to Desmond "Hester" Howard.

No one that has watched Favre for an extended period of time would think that Favre is not solid in the playoffs....

if you think Favre should just retire now, fine, I might agree with you...but to call him out on his playoff record or his abilities is absolutely ridiculous and ignorant.

An extended period of time, you mean like the last 10 years? Im talking about those amazing passes to Dawkins and Webster in OVERTIME, the 6 INT games, the 4 INT games and more.


Combined stats the past 10 years in the playoffs - 3-6 record, 16 TD, 18 INT

All hail lord Farve.

Well he has won a super bowl, believe it or not. And he actually has a better TD-Int ratio than Troy Aikman...don't just repeat what you have heard...Favre makes no more mistakes than some other great QBs.

LOL, how many other greats have had a 6 INT playoff game?

Good idea! Judge a QB who has played in over 250 games on a single game! Brilliant...

Uh no, I actually made it pretty clear that Im judging him on 10 years of ineptitude in the playoffs, a post which you conveniently diddnt respond to.

.

Favre is tied for 1st place with 28 career playoff interceptions Jim Kelly (Kelly has 28).(Terry Bradshaw also has 26On January 20th, 2008 versus the New York Football Giants, Favre completes a pass early in the 4th quarter to Robert McQuarters, cornerback for the Giants. McQuarters then promptly fumbles the ball back to the Packers helping to spare Favre from further humiliation. Then on the second play in overtime, Lorenzo shows his true skills and completes a pass to Corey Webster, cornerback for the Giants, tying the career playoff interception mark of 28, and sealing his team’s fate to go home with yet another loss in the playoffs.



This is from a Dec 2005 article.

After the Super Bowl loss to the Broncos, Favre had a 9-4 post-season record and he had thrown for 3,098 yards and 23 touchdowns with 10 interceptions in those games. His passer rating of 92.0 was 2.7 points higher than his career regular-season rating.
Eight years later, his post-season record has fallen to 11-9 and his passer rating has dropped to 84.0. He has thrown 11 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions

So what is the win loss record now and what is the TD/INT ratio now... in the playoffs?

if you think Favre should just retire now, fine, I might agree with you...but to call him out on his playoff record or his abilities is absolutely ridiculous and ignorant

This could be taken as ignorant too.

Aaron Rodgers is better than him.

Really? And you know this how?

Is it the 59 passes he has thrown in his career or maybe the single TD pass he has thrown in his career?

I can understand wanting to move to the future, but I would not say Rodgers is better than him unless of course you have psychic abilities that you have not told us about yet.

Rogers looked pretty good against us after Farve did his playoff performance impression.

Why just look at the last ten years? Because its easier for you to manipulate the stats like that. Its not all about the stats, they can be EASILY skewed....lets see Troy Aikman's last five years...
10TD - 13INT, 4-4.

Man Troy Aikman was terrible in the playoffs.

you will find after you watch a few more games that is not uncommon for a back up with some experience to come in and look good when a defense has game planned for a certain style QB and has to adjust to a completely new style.

Really? I dont think the stats skew anything about a 6 INT game, a 4 INT game and two completely boneheaded interceptions in playoff overtime, but thats just me.
