Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.  He may have the most passes over 50 yards, but you have any idea what his success rate was?  I don't, and i'd be interested to find out.  But, it ain't gonna be good.  I mean, it's just like some of his other records: he's played so long and so much that you can't expect him to not have that record.  To shift gears, let's look at the interception record.  He owns that record too, but has twice as many attempts as Blanda.  It was bound to happen.  In that same vein, if you throw it deep as many times as Favre, the receiver is going to come down with it a fair amount of the time.  Favre kicks ***, we both know this, but even though he holds the record for long passes, doesn't mean he was particularly good at them.  Rather, he did it a LOT, and that shows up in the record book.</p></blockquote><p></p>
