To me, it's just the "vultures" circleing. Just looking for SOMETHING negative to write about...................you know, like some of the posters on here! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:Ask Koren this week if his fingers hurt? I am willing to bet they do.. he still has the arm. No Doubt.
LOL thats awesome. Theres no doubt Favre still has it. 8)I saw him on TV last night.........one of the reporters asked him if his fastball had lost some of it's zip. Favre said something to the effect that he knew then that they would be writting how he had lost it.
So Favre challenged the guy to come outside and see for himself! He would throw a few to the guy, and let him judge! (Man, i wish the guy would have taken the challenge!!!) :lol:
Oh,.....i KNOW! I was SOOO hoping the guy would go outside and TRY to catch a few! That would have been SO funny to watch! Several years ago Favre was in Japan, and was asked to throw a few to their best football player over there. The guy didn't catch any of them! And he kept shaking his hands (in PAIN) after each attempt! Favre imitated him! It was SO funny! :lol:LOL thats awesome.

Favre's not losing any zip. He just hasn't been throwing the deep ball much for the past couple years.
If McCarthy spreads out the playbook and calls more plays with an aerial assault, Favre will prove it.

Not trying to sound like a ****, but did you watch the Redskins/Packers game?
Out of four deep throws by Brett, two hit a Washington defensive back in the hands, and two were intercepted. IMO, all of these were the result of underthrown passes. And on those four throws, you can see Brett rear back and put everything he's got into the throw, and it doesn't go far enough.
That's what concerns me.

it's not about strength, it's about accuracy. Favre has never been Mr. Accuracy on deep passes. I think part of the problem is that he waits too long... hence his limited range. I don't think he's ever had the deep ball touch. It's been spotty. I think it has more to do with his overall form than anything...
No one is questioning his strength, or at least I'm not. It's his accuracy that concerns me, and the deeper the route, the worse it gets.
I wasn't meaning anyone in particular when i said about people here, and i didn't even necessarily mean about Favre's arm strength. What i meant was people that dig to find stuff to complain about, even though we are 5-1 and on top of the world. I hope no one here thought i was singleing anyone out, cause i wasn't! Hope that clarifys what i meant!
Now, i am sure that Favre doesn't have the strength he had when he was 25 years old, cause i bet he doesn't. But i STILL think he can air it out as good as most QB's in the NFL. I STILL think some of his problem with the long ball right now is not having enough expierience with his current crop of WR's. You have to know just how fast your guys are, and i don't think he has that yet. These kids are new, and he still needs time to develope that with them. Yet even with that......5-1!!!

Like I said, I know you Cheesey, and I see your meaning now. You're right about digging for negatives, but hey, it's been 10 days since we saw The Pack play a game!! We gotta ***** about somethin! lol
