Rodgers outplayed Favre even when Favre was healthy. Green Bay has to beat Dallas if it wants to go to the Superbowl. Favre has always played poorly against us. The Packers lost to the Bears, a team we beat. I wouldn't be suprised if the Packers eventually start Rodgers over Favre. I don't really think Favre has been challenged this season. I think the NFC is weak. Dallas was his first true test and he failed. Favre clearly lacks the mobility he once had which makes him a sitting target against teams that can apply pressure and cover receivers. This situation does not favor Favre as he is hesitant to throw it out of bounds; he will often force interceptions in this situation. Part of the reason GB has been successful is there offensive line was able to protect Favre so he never faced any pressure this season. He won't experience that luxury in the playoffs and I think the Packer organization is aware of that. So it wouldn't suprise me if Rodgers replaces Favre as the starter this year. And if Favre is replaced, I doubt you would admit you were wrong. It should be noted that Favre is going to start next Sunday despite the fact he had a separted left shoulder and a bruised forearm. I have a hard time believing a QB can endure those types of injuries and start the very next week. I think Favre has become a master and knowing when to sit out so he can start the following week. He prematurely left the Patriots' contest last season in a 35-0 loss only to start the very next week. If you think my opinion is crazy, you are entitled to your opinion. Likewise, I'm entitled to my opinion. I've never denied that Favre has been tough. However, he has been extremely unsuccessful against Dallas and I think he got emotionally rattled. Even courageous players have their fears they have to overcome and he has always been uncomfortable at Texas stadium. I certainly think that his 2 interceptions and the fact this was a regular season game had some impact on his decision to sit out the remainder of the game. I do believe if this was a playoff game, he would taken some steroids and pain killers and fought through it. No, I don't have a personal vendetta against Favre. Likewise, are you originally from Louisiana? Are you also a Packer fan? Why are you such a staunch advocate of Favre?
FYI This isn't a troll ridden forum. People here are intelligent so I suggest you start showing more grace instead of exchanging cheap insults. I'm not suggesting that everyone gets along here, but most people know where to draw the line between being sarcastic versus calling someone petty names. Telling someone to get a lobotomy is childish. A comment like that is not insulting but rather disheartening. A big part of the reason I've been with this forum for nearly 6 years is that we didn't have a lot drive by trolls whose purpose is to antagonize others. You just joined this forum less than a month ago; don't be one of those posters.
if you are going to make outlandish statements, then be prepared to accept whatever comes back. You might want to restrict your comments about the Cowbosy because I would hope your observations are a little more on track than your observations are about Favre because you are not only in left field, You are off the planet.
You made comments that Favre was faking an injury last week. And you back that up with you would have to see the xrays before you could discern if he was telling the truth or not. To do that you would have to question his heart, and NOBODY BUT YOU IN THE ENTIRE WORLD has ever quetioned that.
Then you make another off the wall comment that there is a QB controversy in GB. Just for you because you really are uninformed, there will be no QB controversy in GB as long as Favre is there. NONE. The players support him, The coaches support him, the management supports him, the other players will run thru a wall for him, HE IS THE LEADER of the Packers. They are 10-2 because of Favres play, not inspite of Favres play.
When did Rodgers outplay FAvre when FAvre was healthy? Last week against Dallas. That was the only extended action Rodgers has had in a game since last years Pats game. NObody knows what how Favre would have played in the 2nd half. There were a few games this year FAvre was stuggling int he first half of a game and lit it up in the 2nd half. Who is to say that Favre would not have done that against Dallas.
And how do you know that he "prematurely" left the Pats game last year. He was hit in the elbow by a Bruschis cast. It almost broke his elbo. Again, he could not feel the ball in that game either. Early in Favres career, Reggie White sacked Favre and dislocated his left shoulder. He played the rest of the game. He could not play after the hit last week because he could not feel the ball. The shoulder did not affect his decision not to play. HE COULD NOT FEEL THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.
As far as FAvres o-line, again you show your ignorance about the Packers. They have two guards that have consistently been benched, replaced and reinserted. FAvre has NOT had all day to throw the ball. Watch the KC game again, Watch the Philly game again. Watch the Giants game again. The reason he has not been sacked much is because of him getting rid of the ball not because of all the time waiting for somebody to clear.
I tell you what Doc. You said that it would not surprise you to see the Packers replace Favre at QB this season. Are you willing to bet on that? I am a gambling man and would bet anything that does not happen. You said that "I would not admit I was wrong". I don't quite understand the comment, because he won't be replaced. So when he is NOT replaced are you going to admit that you ARE wrong?
As far as your comment that "if this was a playoff game he would have taken steroids and pain killers" to get back in the game. Again you show your ignorance. Steroids are illegal. Can't take them and if any teams medical staff ever gave them they would be strung the highest tree by the league.
As far as pain killers go, again you show your lack of knowledge about Favre. Since his additiction to pain killers in the 90s, he won't take them. Everybody knows that. NO PAIN killer of any kind. He might take an aspirin but that is the limit to what he will take.
I am not trolling. I am not throwing stuff out there to antagonize anybody. You made the outrageous statements that even other Cowboy fans think are not only ignorant but stupid. Did you happen to read the comments by other Cowboy fans. Say something outragous about the Packers, and I will call you on it. I don't know you. You may have a history here of making up stuff just to get attention. The two threads I saw you started in the past seven days leads me to believe that is your motive. NOBODY can be that out of touch with NFL football. Keep your thoughts restricted to the Cowboys because you have NO knowlege about the Packers and you have even less knowlege about Favre. Hopefully you have some knowledge about teh Cowboys but after reading your comments here, I have serious questions about that.
And I am originally from Louisiana. Lake Charles, to be exact. But I have been a Packer fan my whole life.
