You're telling me you weren't worried in the slightest

Of course I was, and THAT'S what I found entertaining. Not "ZOMG, this is so cool, he might make an idiotic play and throw an interception!"
I want to watch players who are dominant and who create the drama of accomplishment, not who might disintegrate at any moment. I don't consider that dramatic; I consider it sloppy. It's Favre's skill and talent I find entertainment, not his abject lack of self-control in key situations; I just find that maddening.
If a quarterback throws a laser downfield and our safety reads it perfectly, jumps the route, and runs the interception back for a touchdown -- that's entertainment. If the quarterback drops back, blindly wings a duck downfield that never has a chance, and it falls gift-wrapped into our safety's hands, that's not entertaining to me. That's just annoying, sloppy football, even if the end result is the same. (Yes, I'll rejoice over the pick-6, and I might gloat over the QB's idiocy, but I won't find it "dramatic" or "entertaining," just groanworthy.)
