A trip back into time.

Full Article... 

Alas, the Jets already had lost their No. 1 draft pick by signing Syracuse wide receiver Rob Moore in the supplementary draft. Their first choice was in the second round, 34th overall. The Atlanta Falcons picked Favre with the 33rd pick and gave him a three-year contract worth $1.2 million. It wasn't until the next year, when Wolf had moved along to become the Packers' general manager, that he finally could make his move. On Feb. 10, 1992, Wolf traded the Pack's first pick to Atlanta, for which Favre had thrown only five passes all season playing third-string. Wolf was told he was crazy.

" 'Have your lost your mind?" was what most people said," Wolf says. "I just really liked him. He has that unexplainable something about him."

The '92 season turned out better than Favre or even Wolf could have expected. When Majkowski went down with sprained ligaments in his left ankle, the prognosis was that he would miss two weeks, maybe four. Favre came into the lineup, won two games and simply rolled. Natural. He finished with 302 completions for 3,227 yards and 18 TDs. He was sixth in the league in completion percentage, third in interception rate.

He also showed durability and resourcefulness. In the first half of his seventh start his left shoulder was separated in a hit delivered by White, then with the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a brutal play. Favre had thrown his pass and could see the collision coming. He turned his body to absorb it. White grabbed his hand and yanked him back the other way to make him vulnerable. The two men landed together. Favre's shoulder was the point of impact. It was a play designed to do what it didto hurt him, hopefully to put him out of the gamenot to stop the pass. He stayed in the game, shot up with a painkiller at halftime, but could not lift his arm as high as his shoulder and could not hand off to the left. The Eagles and the rest of the teams on the Packers' schedule saw his difficulty and worked on it. The shoulder hurt for the rest of the season, but he still played.

Rodgers also showed durability and resourcefulness. In the second half of his fourth start his right shoulder was separated during a run for first down... He missed 2 drives, shot up with a painkiller and returned to play but could not lift his arm as high as his shoulder... the shoulder hurt for the rest of the season, but he still played.

Just thought it was amusing over the parallels between Favre's mid-season shoulder injury and Rodgers'. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, QB injuries are relatively common. Still...

Weird. It was Reggie White? Dang. Forgot about that.

I'm sure Favre was glad when Reggie White became a Packer. Imagine you're a QB and the most fearful defensive player in the game, the one guy who gives you nightmares, suddenly becomes on your team and you no longer have to worry about him killing you. :thumbright:
