I really don't want to get into this, but how do you correctly prorate stats?

The older a guy gets, his production will fall off. I don't know how anyone can accurately predict that. All you can do is an average.

Plus there are so many other factors that can't be correctly factored in. This is why these arguments are annoying.

All I know is that all Bear/Vike/Lion fans would easliy take Brett over the dozens of QBs that they've gone through over the past 17 years.

Open that statement up to the whole league. How many teams in the NFL wouldn't take Brett outside of NE and Indy? Maybe Cincy? Who else?

Despite all the INTs and what not, Favre has consistently more often than not given the Packers the abiltiy to win almost every game he has played for them. Not too many other QBs in the league right now can say that aside from Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

Hey bud, it's hard not to be even a little biased.

Tell me, other than Manning the elder and Brady, who else based on pure ability alone (not potential or future developement) right now would you put under your center?

Like I mentioned the only one I can kind of think of right now is Carson Palmer. Maybe, maybe, maybe Matt Hasslebeck (sp?) a former Favre backup? Some might be able to make an argument for Big Ben and Romo. Actually maybe Romo over Carson.

Your limiting it to 17 years. He's probably the best QB in the division ever. Hes definitely better than any NFC North QB since Tarkenton, and theres not many that argue that Fran was better (he is underrated in all time discussions). Bart Starr is the next name that comes up, and then Sid Luckman. Apologies to Lions fans, I cant throw you a bone.

Ok now you have stipulated it a bit more I see your point. In either case, right now not factoring in future development I would take (and presuming all are in good health):

Regardless of team:
Brady
Manning
Romo
Hasselback
Carson Palmer

On the right team:
McNabb
Rothlesburger
Drew Brees

I don't deny how good favre is (was) but I don't feel like he's a top 5, and is maybe a top 10 qb today...

That maybe true, but you can't deny that when Favre steps on the field, the Packers have the chance to win against anyone. Can you truly say that about Romo, Hasselbeck and Palmer? Maybe I'm just spoiled with having Favre for so long, but I can't say that about those three guys. Manning and Brady, without a doubt.

well there's the difference betwen you and I because I don't feel that. I think the Packers wins these days are stipulated by how many mistakes Favre doesn't make and how that defense plays.

Back in his glory days? Sure.

That's the aboslute most key statement in your post. That to me narrows it even further to just Manning and Brady. Has Romo been hurt at all for more than a game or so?

**Jjfotqse** · 10-15-2007, 07:37 PM

He's been making the same damn mistakes his whole career. That's an irrelevant statement. The only years he seemed to significantly cut down on mistakes were the Super Bowl years.

If Palmers O-line was better I would put him up there with Manning and Brady. His defense is terrible too.

**Fgunehjf** · 10-15-2007, 07:43 PM

. The only years he seemed to significantly cut down on mistakes were the Super Bowl years.

And that's exactly what I'm talking about. Thus it's not irrelevant.

**chinesemedicine** · 10-15-2007, 07:47 PM

And that's exactly what I'm talking about. Thus it's not irrelevant.

Did you see the host of superstars that guy had around him during those two seasons? I'm pretty sure those guys helped save his bacon a few times. The Super Bowl years didn't see a different Brett Favre, he has played the same the whole time. So, yes it is irrelevant.

**abossakon** · 10-15-2007, 07:47 PM

Actually, it was a running play since there were no receivers running patterns. Favre faked the handoff to roll out and hopefully get a first down. He's done it before.

So it should not have been called a sack, which is the most useless stat in football anyways.

but why did no other packer know what was going on?
