[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1008035, member: 17987"] Yeah, pretty much this. I love Favre; he’s pretty much who made me fall in love with the sport. But I don’t think it’s that big of a debate. If you did a “blind” test (which is of course not possible, but imagine with me)… pretend you got exact copies Favre and Rodgers in generic nondescript jerseys and had them wear helmet visors or something to obscure their features. If you compared them side by side - PURELY on their on-field play - removing all “personality” or off-field behaviors/beliefs/mannerisms/etc…. I don’t think there’s anyone who would honestly pick Favre in that circumstance. And that’s fine; we live in the real world and that includes the player’s personality and attitude and all that. But strictly on a sporting basis I think it’s a fairly easy decision to make. Consider the big games that we lost in recent years. Rodgers got heavy criticism for not doing enough to help us win. Does anyone honestly believe those games would’ve gone any differently with Favre at QB in the same circumstances? Again, I love Brett, but if he’s our starting QB against SF, Tampa, etc we’re probably talking less about how he “didn’t do enough when it counted” and more about how he actively hurt our chances by giving the ball away or etc. [/QUOTE]
