Screw Elway. The fact that he wouldn't play where he was drafted makes him a ****. The Elway fans didn't seem to mention that he lost 3 straight Super Bowls with a good defense behind him.
Elway absolutely SUCKED in Super Bowls. he was horrid. I'm sick of all the Elway praise and the Favre bashing.
One stat I did hear on the ESPN show “Mike and Mike in the Morning” that I thought was a pretty good indicator of how good Favre was is that the Packers have the highest win % of any team in the NFL since Favre took over in 1992. He might not have a lot of Super Bowl rings, but that stat is pretty impressive. Keep in mind that #4 played during the Cowboys run in the 90’s and the Patriots run in the 2000’s.
I like this quote. Yes, Cowboys were the dominant team of the 90s and the Patriots were the dominant team of the 00s, but still the Packers had the best win %. That's really saying something.
But without risk there would be no reward.
Very true. It's like some guy who invests only in bonds who says "I never go down any year." Big deal, you're barely keeping above inflation. The big winners are the ones who were aggressive in life, not the one who never took risks. It can be applied to sports, to investing, and to meeting women. It's along the lines of some guy at a bar saying "I never got rejected by a woman" when he never asked one out. A loser.
Brett Favre was a winner. He did what it took to win. Sometimes it was ugly, but it had to be done. I'd rather lose in a shootout than lose being bored to death by being ultra-conservative.
Favre is the greatest QB ever to play the game, or at least I can say the greatest since '76 since I started following football. You can argue someone before '76 was better and I won't argue because for me, not enough info. Anyone after '76, I've watched and Favre's better.
