[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 149725, member: 816"] Actually, what counts is where Brett Favre is RIGHT NOW. How good will he be THIS season. To Mi_Keys.... I appreciate the well balanced informed response. I also appreciate your analysis of me. I am aggressive. I am not, nor will I ever be, arrogant. The way I type will probably lead many others who disagree with me to conclude that. The Grossman reference is a good one. He does dumb things but he's still basically a rook with the amount of games he's played. Our guy is a first ballot hall of famer who STILL after all these years makes those kinds of plays. The hope with Rex is that he won't do that anymore, while Favre never did cure his problem with bonehead plays. Just for fun...
