[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 265586, member: 2006"] If you want to look at wins by going by history, then you should also look at the other side of the coin. Burnt has yet to produce winning post-seasons. True, he has won a number of playoff games. But lose just one and it's bye-bye SB. And that's what really counts. So if we're going by history, the trend is for Burt to lose either in the playoffs or even in the SB. [url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=paolantonio_sal&id=3281535]Overhyped: Favre didn't deliver in second half of career - NFL - ESPN[/url] Best-Ever Debate [ATTACH=full]8426[/ATTACH] In his 17 seasons, Brett Favre set numerous NFL records, including most yards passing (61,655) and most touchdowns (442). But do those numbers, combined with Favre's three MVP awards and one Super Bowl victory, put him among the top 10 quarterbacks of all time? Recently, ESPN.com's Mike Sando and Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz examined the best-ever debate. Yes, Favre played long enough to throw the most touchdown passes and collect the most wins by an NFL quarterback. But let's examine the second half of No. 4's career. The truth is, Favre did little over the past decade to earn the gushing praise heaped upon him by our fawning brethren in the media. After beating the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=sfo"][COLOR=#225fb2]San Francisco 49ers[/COLOR][/URL] in the 1997 NFC Championship Game, Favre won just three of his last 10 playoff games. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6760"][COLOR=#225fb2]Eli Manning[/COLOR][/URL] had more postseason wins in a 29-day span this past season than Favre had in his last decade with the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=gnb"][COLOR=#225fb2]Green Bay Packers[/COLOR][/URL]. Yes, Favre won a Super Bowl -- 11 years ago! But as his career arc spiraled downward, the blind adulation only got worse. Favre's passer rating in his last 12 postseason games was a pedestrian 77.8. In his last five wild-card games, he went 2-3 with more interceptions (nine) than touchdown passes (seven). In his last three divisional playoff games, he went 1-2 with seven TDs and seven interceptions. That's a 3-5 record with 14 touchdown passes and 16 picks. Favre isn't even the greatest quarterback in the history of the Packers. It's not even close. Bart Starr won five NFL championships -- four more than Favre -- and retired as the NFL's most accurate passer. [/QUOTE]
