The Green Bay Packers since Favre or the Dallas Cowboys since Jimmy Johnson?

Some argue to only have two Super Bowl victories between Favre and Rodgers is highly egregious and is a waste of great quarterbacking talent. Rodgers has lost three NFC Championship games, one at home and one at Seattle, which the Packers had in the bag. Favre loss one to the Cowboys (which he should have) and to the Giants at Lambeau Field, in which they also had a huge advantage.

Others argue that the Cowboys should have not only won three Super Bowls, but would have won at least five had Jimmy Johnson stayed as coach. Add to that the fact that the Cowboys twice had home field advantage throughout the playoffs in 2008 and 2017 and blew it, losing to the Giants and the Packers, and, for the most part, wasted the talents of Tyron Smith, Zach Martin, Travis Frederic, Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, and DeMarcus Ware, who had to join Denver to wear a ring.

So of the two franchises, which do you think squandered the most talent and opportunities over the past 30 years?

Every team that hasn’t won the SB during that time.

Hard call.
If Jimmy had stayed, think we would have won 4 straight super bowls.
That's a hard pill to swallow.

Beginning of free agency killed us

The 49ers simply couldn't beat us with Jimmy as coach. Easily would have run through four Super Bowls.
What a wasted opportunity. Sigh.

1994 would have been interesting. That 49er team was very very good. Young was historically good and stealing Norton from us and landing Deion was a big swing in defensive talent

..I didn't know Rodgers has lost 3 NFC championship games. That takes the cake. At least Dallas hasn't lost one in 25ys...lol..

You’re off the rails on this topic, ec
Irrational hatred of Rodgers for some reason.

But Im no Packers fan, so hate away

One team is regularly in contention and other rarely is. I guess I'll pick the team with half as many 10-win seasons and no SB victory.

Its Green Bay obviously we havent had a Good QB since Aikman.

I think 4 is conservative. Imagine the late 90s cowboys with additions like Zach Thomas, Jayson Taylor, Patrick Surtain........ Jimmy would have kept that defense elite.

The Green Bay Packers since Favre or the Dallas Cowboys since Jimmy Johnson?

since Favre? Favre wasted a lot of talent by never trying to understand the how to play the position in the way that best benefited the team.

 

[McKDaddy]

rodgers has blown 4 other chances to get back to the super bowl.

the lack of talent around him is one of the big reasons he is at odds with the team now. they only got those chances because he was their QB. sorry but average or even above average QB's aren't getting those teams to the championship game.

 

[McKDaddy]

It is incredibly difficult to win a Super Bowl, even for teams with GOAT level QBs. Manning only got 2, Brees only 1, Marino has 0, Kelly has 0… point is the Packers winning one with each franchise QB is still admirable.

QB is the most important position but you are exactly right even legends can only overcome so much. Got to have a pretty solid team to get the trophy.

 

[atlantacowboy]

GB has wasted Rodgers HOF career. I'm just glad they only have one more year to contend. Tired of seeing them in the playoffs.

 

[INCowboysFan]

All because of one man's ego.

Join me in X-ing out the calendar.

Now, now, Jerry has some blame to share in that divorce too.

 

[McKDaddy]

Rodgers made two exceptional, worldly throws to garbage can receivers to even get the team to OT

He makes throws that just leave you shaking your head. I bet 95% of people blaming him couldn't name more than 5 players off any GB team. He certainly hasn't had any complete teams other than the SB year.
