That article has been discussed before here on the forum but it ringing more and more true as time passes.
Of course someone has to bring brett into this whole thing...MOVE ON!!!!!!
:sFun_DeadHorse:
As far as MVP, he sure is in te conversation, but Payton Manning and Drew Brees would have something to say as far as Favre being the "clear cut favorite"...
No im just talking about moving on from Favre. He had nothing to do with how bad we played at Tampa or for the matter this entire season.
Ok, you think Favre deserves the MVP. But you don't get a vote in it, or do you?Maybe - it's tough. But, sometimes the answers are easy to see. I could make a case for Drew Brees, but he's basically got the same weapons he's had for years, except Darren Sharper, so why is 2009 suddenly magic for Brees???
I would never vote Manning - he's had a stellar O-line for 10 years now. He's got the happiest feet I've ever seen. He's rarely pressured, but when he is, he's not good. I point to the way New England often beat him senseless during the playoffs. He's good, though, but not Brett Favre good.
I still claim that throw during the 49ers game - because of the context it was done in - meaning, the Vikings were in no man's land - not far enough away for a Hail Mary and lucky break, and too far away for a quick slant or lob into the back of the end zone. No, sir. THIS throw had to be balls-on, accurate. It had to be delivered at the EXACT time, in the EXACT amount of space for it to be successful. Favre has instincts that cannot be taught and I even get tired of hearing people talk about instincts, but it is true. Brett bought the right amount of time and chose the BEST read and delivered an astoundingly accurate throw - again given the conditions and the TINY margin for error. We're basically talking about a defense that had the game in the bag and played perfect coverage for that final play. If the throw is 6 inches to Lewis' left, it's a knocked down, game over. I'm not sure I've seen a more dominant throw in my entire life.
What really caught my eye was some NFL.com footage of the play in which one camera caught a conversation between two 49ers players and they had the attitude and speak that the game was in the bag and they were producing idle chatter and suddenly in the background you could see them standing on the tips of their toes, the crowd going wild and the player in front slowly turning around to his runnin' buddy with eyes like saucers and his mouth wide open and you could tell he wanted to speak, but no words were coming outta his pie hole. It was really a sight to behold.
I think often times, fans and writers want to be able to explain things away rationally and neatly, so they put players into the boxes of their choosing and for the most part, are never questioned. Then, they attempt the same with Brett Favre and find he is truly an enigma - you can't rationalize or explain exactly what he brings to the table. Just when you think you've marginalized him, BOOM, he smacks you alongside the squash. I love guys that refuse to live within boundaries they do not define themselves.:happy0005:
Favre COULD remain the PRESENT. Not the Future.Then, you didn't read the article completely. This was one of the sticking points - Favre very well COULD be the reason for the Pack's failures. Whitlock pointed out that TT drafted Rodgers (5 years ago) for the future, but the irony is that Brett REMAINS the future, because he's still playing and playing much better than Rodgers.
Ok, you think Favre deserves the MVP. But you don't get a vote in it, or do you?
Neither do I, but from the voters perspective, he's not the clear-cut favorite. It's Manning and Brees. If I had to bet, it would be Manning again. Last year it should've been for Brees and Manning won it, so now that he's actually playing lights out, and is undefeated, they ought to give it to him...
Favre COULD remain the PRESENT. Not the Future.
And, actually, he doesn't either. He no longer remains with the team. So that's why it's beating a dead horse. You're discussing COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA... That will not do any good for the Packers...

Worst thing in the world... No. My life isn't just football.Don't worry...I'm sure there are many STILL in Packerland that will figure out a way to blame FAVRE for this years Packer play...hahaha...
PackersRS...Would that be the worst thing in the world for you if Favre won the MVP or the SB? Or how about both?
:rotfl:
Why in the hell is a thread that started out as a new gm talking about Brett
Good gawd
So who would want Parcells?
Who wants Holmgren
Who wants anyone but Ted?
Lets get it back on topic or make a new thread on a Brett debate...
It's all a conspiracy to give you grey before your time LT. How else would we make you sigh?
You see..it worked..
We turned you BALD...
