[QUOTE="Joe Nor Cal Packer, post: 622317, member: 9805"] This is such a huge change from Favre. I think I'm correct in saying that Favre has thrown more career INTs than any other QB, or at least he's close to the top. The cost of TOs is huge. Not to take anything away from Favre the football player (versus Favre the person but I'm not going there). His career stats are of course off the charts, yards, TDs, MVPs, and all the others). But ya have to wonder if there would have been another SB or two if he had been more careful with the ball. We all remember the INT he threw in the OT NFCCG against the Giants, and he would have had the Vikings in the SB if he had just sat down. Instead he makes a totally unnecessary throw resulting in an INT when they were in FG range. Result - NO goes on to beat the Colts in the SB. Thank God. This just makes me appreciate Rodgers all the more. Favre, for some reason, felt he alone was responsible for making the game winning plays. That's just an out of control ego. As great as Rodgers is, and maybe because of it, he keeps his ego in check and even now wants to be coached. Favre reached a point somewhere along the line where he thought he was bigger than the team and bigger than the game. That's not to take away frrom his accomplishments, but rather that he could have accomplished so much more if he had been less self-centered. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Rodgers on our side of the football. [/QUOTE]
