Most of those INT's from Brett were Brett Favre "punts". You think he was waiting on BJ to kick it 9 yards? He!! no, chuck it into the crowd down by the goal line and tackle the S.O.B, bingo you now have a 55 yard punt.


Umm... go back and research how many of his INT's were on third in long that your scenario would play out :)

I've already credited his poor WR with around half dozen of those INT's which I feel is accurate. I'm not sure how you push blame with fumbles onto someone else though.

I am bored and am just curious to who you think are the top 5 Underrated/Overrated Packers. Here is mine

Underrated

1. Donald Driver - despite several 1000 yard seasons people still will not recognize him as a true #1.

2. William Henderson - True consistentsy but outside of Packer nation never gets the credit he deserves

3. Rob Davis - I've got to give the long snapper some love

4. Aaron Kampman - Tough and hard nosed, may be ready to breakout.

5. Al Harris - Rarely is he mentioned with the true shutdown corners but over the last few years has been solid.


Overrated

1. KGB - Though I love the guy, he is a liability against the run.

2. Charles Woodson - May be to early, but the guy has been overrated his whole career

3. Nick Barnett - A case of speed being a liabilty. Often over pursues and gets caught out of position.


4. Bubba Franks - Not really his fault, he just was not used enough in the middle of the field

5. Robert Ferguson - Now I know some will say that "we know he sucks" but honestly I think he is worse than the already known ineffective reciever he is. Nothing about him impresses me.

The only one I have a huge issue with is Barnett. I can't believe people (you aren't the only one I've heard this from) think #56 is OVER-RATED. I guess, in my mind, he might be underrated. Watch and see AJ Hawk and Nick Barnett become probably the best 2 LB's in the NFC North for years to come and I could give a sh*t that Urlacher is in the division...my opinion.

The rest look good to me... :)

:roll: Probably not. If Urlacher was a Packer you would love him, end of story.
Urlacher and Briggs > Barnett and Hawk, hands down.

back to the subject...how any ONE of you dorks(trying to be nice) can claim that favre is overrated is beyond lucid, intelligent thinking.

because you just know that there are Packer fans that still think he is a top QB in the league and he is not. He still is a good/above average QB but hes not at the top.

I agree with the Brady hater, At this juncture in his career Favre is very overrated(example: throwing 29 ints and leading a team to a 4-12 record and still getting 3 primetime Monday night football games the following season just because he is Brett Favre) but that doesn't negate his many accomplishments(3 time MVP, 2 SB appearances with a win and his career numbers and durability). Favre is still a HOFer no doubt but he's on the decline and has been for a few seasons now. You can't stay on top forever because all good things must come to an end sometime.

Finally I felt like actually making my list:
Over:
1. Woodson- not that good of a CB
2. Favre- he's not as good as he once was but some pack fans can't accept that
3. KGB-Sucks against run and is suppose to be a good pass rusher but last year he had only 8 sacks
4. Buba Franks- first round pick who really has not done much especially in recent years despite gettin big payday
5. Vonta Leach- was being prepared to be Henderson's heir but he just isn't that good

Under:
1. Donald Driver- Good WR that no one outside of GB seems to notice
2. Al Harris- same as DD but at CB
3.William Henderson- hard worker and nice guy ( i met him)
4. Ahmad Carrol- Packer fans give him crap all the time but he was thrown into the fire because of bad management. If he had a few years early on to develope as a nickel back right around now he could possibly been an average 2nd starting CB
5. Ahman Green- As I said before people are just saying give Gado the job when he was injured for most of last year and when he wasn't he couldn''t get into a rythm because Sherman gave him not many carries (12 in opener)

Argue your opinion if you must but don't tell me how I'm supposed to think please...especially if it's my opinion and stated that way. Thank you.

By the way, IN MY OPINION, Hawk will become much better than Urlacher and Barnett is constantly making plays so once again, IN MY OPINION, they will be the best LB tandem in the NFC North for years to come.

P.S. This is not a shot at Urlacher, I think he's a hell of a player...never said he wasn't.

idolize?? please...my only idol is our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.

it amazes me that simply because i don't feel favre is overrated, suddenly i'm idolizing him. i just choose NOT to forget what he has done for the organization. yes, he's lost something but to call him overrated is ridiculous. overrated by whose standards?? oh right, i guess all of us "favre worshippers"!!
