Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bobby Roberts" data-source="post: 72787" data-attributes="member: 260">This section is key right here and not properly evaluated IMO.  It shows that the interception percentage for losing QBs (besides Favre) is the same as that for winning QBs!  The winning QBs had a 2.8 INT percentage while the losing QBs had a 3.1 INT percentage.  Doesn't look like a difference to me, but of course that obvious point is ignored because it doesn't match the point of the article.As said by others, this is a case of playing with stats to prove a point.  Yes, when Favre throws a lot of INTs, GB tends to lose.  But does that mean that GB would win if he didn't?  Looking at the stats from the past 6 years is very misleading.  During that time, GB's defense has been very weak.  The team was carried by the offense.  If the offense couldn't put a lot points on the board, then the Packers would most often lose.  Just look at the Colts game from a couple years ago.  The offense was great and almost won the game, but the defense was so bad that Indy actually won.  There's no way GB would have been close if Favre didn't push the offense to score every possession.INTs and TOs suck big time!  No question about it.  But GB has been very successful for a long time with Brett's style, which obviously takes all factors into account rather than just one stat.There's no doubt that GB is better off with Favre running the show.GO PACK GO!!!</blockquote>
