I still don't know if GB beats Dallas in Dallas during the NFC title game. They had the Pack's number.
I think Favre just developed during those years. Most good QB's need time to develop and they hit their prime fast then. That's what happen with Favre in my opinion. It just takes time and coaching.
I think Favre probably would've put up even bigger numbers through that span with Sterling. Heck in 94 he threw 33 touchdowns, 3800+ yards and 14 INT's. That was in Sharpe's last year.
There really is no definite answer but Sharpe was as talented as a receiver as Favre ever had in my opinion.
Yes. I love Donald Driver and am a huge fan of Gregorious, but Sharpe was by far the best WR Favre ever had. You throw a ball in his direction, he comes down with it. He was just stronger and better than everyone else.
The low INTs was partly due to Sharpe. He probably took away a few ones that could have been INTs. In a fight for the ball, Sharpe wins.
They had an unspoken chemistry too. When a play breaks down, Sharpe knew exactly what to do. Losing Sharpe really hurt Favre's game. It didn't help. Whenever you have a player of that caliber, it's a huge loss when you lose them. Even if opposing teams did everything they could to stop FAvre to Sharpe, they just couldn't do it.
If I remember correctly, our game was one dimensional not because of Sharpe but because we had no running game back then. This is before Dorsey Levens, remember?
