[QUOTE="evad04, post: 175623, member: 813"] I find comfort in numbers. In Favre's prime back in '97, he threw 35 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. He had in the ball bark of 3,800 yards and he had a QB rating of 92.6. Now, he also had 513 passing attempts. When you do the math, that's one interception for every 32.1 passes. So far this year, Favre has thrown the ball 210 times this year... only Brees comes close in passing attempts per game (keep in mind the Saints have had a bye week). Favre has 9 TDs and 4 Interceptions (one of the picks being the hail mary to end the game last night... just saying). That's 52.5 passing attempts per interception. Is anyone following that??? Anyone??? This year, he throws an interception once every 52 passes. Favre's best season, in '95 (huge passing TDs, yards, only 13 interceptions) his average was one interception for every 43 passes. As far as "efficiency", Favre is having one of his best season. He's completing 67% of his passes, and for the most part, he's limiting his mistakes. Elway's career average: 32.1 passes per interception (226 interceptions in 7,250 passing attempts) Marino's career average: 33.17 passes per interception (252 interceptions in 8,358 attempts) Favre's career average: 30.48 passes per interception (277 in 8,443) Simply put, if Marino and Elway played longer and passed the ball more they'd have in the same ball park of interceptions that Favre does. It's easy to get swept up in the ****storm and talk about all the interceptions he throws... but he's on pace with two of the best in history. [/QUOTE]
