Sherman was a control freak who wouldn't let Favre change plays, so whether it was a bad play or not based on the defense, Favre had to stick with it, and out of frustration sometimes, he would force plays. Then, by '04 and '05 the talent around him was running out as well. Now I give credit to TT for providing better talent, which has been a pleasant surprise to me. And I give McCarthy alot of credit for turning Favre loose and letting him run the offense. But I refuse to concede the fact that Favre was primarily responsible for bad coaching and declining talent under Mike Sherman. Favre hadn't "lost it" or forgotten how to play the QB position and McCarthy "reminded him". That's just silly. It's that he finally has the talent around him, and the freedom to run the offense based on his talents and abilities. If Sherman would have done these things several years ago, Favre would have been doing the same thing then. But Sherman wasn't smart enough, or good enough to make it happen.</blockquote>
