you beat me too it, zombie! There are a lot of insinuations that these fractures won't limit his play...but if those aren't true, the irony that his streak stopped at the hands of the packers would be just perfect (at least for me! :)

I disagree about Tjack, though. he's mobile, and pseudo accurate. I actually think he'll make the queens better.

I'll believe it when I see it. (Favre missing a start, that is.) I am suspicious of these "fractures." If they were real fractures, wouldn't they have ruled him out of next week's game already? Or maybe they want to wait a couple days until things die down after the loss to the Packers. But as I said before, I'll believe it when I see it.

Shit, hand the man a pair of crutches and get his ass on the field. Hopalong will make for fine entertainment!

Brad Jones, the man that shot Ole Yellar. I hope all the Favrebillies don't lynch the guy.

Stop it!

I love watching the guy on Sundays but in between, don't listen to him. He's going to play. 100%. Watch. You are giving him exactly what he wants, attention. Just ignore him during the week or in the off-season, you will all be better off.

RedSox - Are you suggesting Burt is reading this thread?

Hey RSE, there is ad nauseum footage in the archives. Watching Favre now was like watching old fat Elvis singing. We all preferred the younger version.

He was the 2nd best QB in the NFL last year (after Drew Brees). I don't think any of us expected a drop off this big. I was thinking more like he'll barely miss 30 TDs and throw 17 INTs +/- 2. Not this big.

There were plenty of discussions on this board in which it was stated that, based on his career history, he was just as likely (if not far more likely) to have an abysmal season as another excellent season. Favre has rarely ever sustained two high-quality seasons in a row.

Actually I beg to differ on this. '94-97 Favre were arguably the best four consecutive seasons ever played by a QB. Then he was good again from '01 to '04, with 3 straight Pro Bowl seasons in that time frame.

Then he sucked for two years and was good again in '07, and the first 11 games of '08 (he should have been benched for the last five games where he threw 2 TDs vs 9 INTs), and '09 was his best year since '97.


Brett Favre is an alcoholic. Alcoholics are much better off with a strong person taking charge. Thus his best years were under Holmgren who wouldn't take shit from him. He started to take over Sherman near the end of Sherman's tenure and as he did, his stats declined.
Mike McCarthy came in slowly and reigned him in for the '07 season which was his best season since '97. I think 2009 was just continuing where he left off in '08 before his injury.

2010, he may be done. All the wear and tear finally caught up to him. Sad to see a warrior go down like this. Reminds me of Wallie's last season.
