Yeah as far as Favre's INTs, there are a lot of ways to look at it. In the end, he did get GB to the SB twice, won once, won a lot more games than he lost, and was a lot of fun to watch. Did he throw some INTs at the worst possible time? Yeah he sure did. But he was consistent and we lived with him or died with him. I think in the end everyone would say he was a great QB for GB.
Favre is still better

He had a long stretch there where he ended each season with an INT, many in the playoffs. His last throw of each year would be a pick.
Yeah there was a pattern there. Even the great ones fail when they decide only they can engineer a win.
And Rodgers is the exact opposite as far as INTs.

Brett Favre Expecting Drop-Off For Davante Adams After Leaving Aaron Rodgers
Brett Favre tells TMZ Sports he's expecting a drop-off from Davante Adams now that he's left Aaron Rodgers.

It's nice to see Favre agrees with what I've been saying about Davante in Vegas.
It's also nice to see Favre acknowledging the greatness of Aaron Rodgers. There's room for two at the top.
I don't think Adams cares as much about his production going forward as his income. He won't produce as well in Vegas. It's kinda simple - he's going from Rodgers to Carr. Carr is an above average QB, but still only about 60% as good as Rodgers.Brett Favre Expecting Drop-Off For Davante Adams After Leaving Aaron Rodgers

Does Adams care if he makes it to the HOF? If that was a priority he would have stayed in GB. No, he wanted a lot more money, and he got it, and he wanted to go to Vegas to play football with his pal Carr, and he got that. I doubt he's worried much about a slight drop in production versus GB. And he probably doesn't care as much about a SB ring. His chances for that were clearly better in GB.
I'll miss him because he was a great WR for GB, and he was unassuming, modest, and pretty much kept to himself. Nothing wrong with that. And who knows, the Raiders have become a pretty good team. Maybe a SB ring isn't so far fetched. I do wish him well. He was a great Packer and will be missed.
I don't think it's any more far fetched than it is for the Packers. I feel like GB really blew their best chances these last few years, and earlier in the decade. This is admittedly my pessimism talking, but squandering two consecutive #1 seeds broke something in me, somewhere. And Aaron Rodgers not being able to get past Jimmy Garoppolo, it doesn't seem right.
Agree with all - and couldn't get past Garrapalo in January at home in the snow. Ouch. Yeah as long as Rodgers is around a SB is in the cards. But GB is running out of cards.
Good point. He's gonna miss the powder puffs from the NFC North....... Jared Goff, Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins. Lions and vikings and bears, oh my!
On the other hand, maybe he's the type of player who likes to challenge himself against the best.
That could very well be. An immensely talented guy whose critics might say, "Yeah but you played in the NFC North." I don't think that's a just criticism, but Adams is a driven guy. He molded himself into a star. Yeah he had Rodgers throwing to him but his style is all his own. Anyway, interesting point. And if he's successful, maybe that's a better path to the HOF. At a minimum, it would be ironic if he got a SB ring before Rodgers. I don't think that will happen, but who knows?
Adams faced some good defenses while he was here too. Bears may have sucked on offense, but their D has been pretty good mostly for a long time. I'm sure he doesn't mind leaving Trevathan behind. MN has had a great D for a long time. Even the lions have had some good defenses, or at least some good DB's. Darius Slay was as good as they come.
Yep, all good points. And as far as the AFC West - they have four great QBs. Not so sure about the quality of their Ds.

Opinions are like A-holes, we all have one.
Those QB's never really had a lot of effect on Davante, unless you are talking about the Packer offense getting more opportunities due to division offenses being so so, for much of his career.
The 2 big changes for Davante this season will be his QB and the players around him. I think both will have positive, as well as a negative effects on his season and may just balance out. While Carr is not the QB that Rodgers is, I think he will be familiar enough with Davante, to get him the ball. I also think that the receivers (WR and TE's) playing around Davante are going to be harder for defenses to cover, than that the Packers through at them in the last 3 or so years. This might give Davante more opportunities. Basically, the Raiders have more weapons than the Packers, but given Carr is the guy playing QB and not A-Rod, that might negate the advantage.
Yeah, with better receivers around him, he may not get as many double teams. He'll be fine. I'm gonna miss him though.
