So quarterback ratings are the "new" be all and end all when it comes to determine how "good" a quarterback is ? ... heh ...
Those numbers don't show the amount of sacks, nor the yards lost due to sacks, nor the fumbles or the fumbles lost ...
Another stat that is missing is the "red-zone" efficiency ...
In terms of "big plays" ... if we take your comment then as being "true" ... - that would also mean you measure "big plays" whenever yards are gained - true ?
So far (this season) ... Favre has indeed had more "big plays", regardless of how you measure them ... - Because in 6 out of 7 games, those have resulted in a win in the end ...
Rodgers had a GREAT (personal, statwise) season, last season ... - but the end result was a 6-10 season ... how does that measure up to "big plays" ? Despite the Jets not making the play-offs due to severely diminshed play overall in the late season (Favre being one of the players that performed poorly in the late season), the Jets still went from a losing record (+revious season) to end up 9-7 ...
Last, in almost every instance ... whenever there is a (close to) non-existent running game ... the quarterback will always get yards ... and with a wide-receiver corps such as Green Bay's ... most will be successfull ...
My point being ... there is alot more to be said, than "just looking" at the "numbers" and "stats" ... - because even though those "may not lie" ... they do NOT, however, tell the "whole story" ... FAR from it ...
Seven games into the season ... that isn't true ...
At this point in the season ... Rodgers isn't the "better QB" of the two ... - Rodgers most likely WILL end up "being the better" quarterback once this season is over ... (pending on how both teams fare), considering Favre's performance and stats has dwindled in the later half of each season in the past few years, however ... right now ... your statement isn't true ...
