So..would you rather have Favre as he is playing now next week or SAnchez behind center?

You guys play Minny next year so it will be Favre vs Pack twice and Favre vs Jets once if he come back again.
Sanchez without a doubt. At least if Sanchez pisses the bed it's because he's trying too hard, whereas with Favre it's the opposite. Sanchez also can make plays with his feet, while Favre is a statue. It's trendy to crack on Sanchez, but the kid has a steep learning curve and has shown some great things, and I believe he's going to be an above average QB in the league.

But the #1 reason? Sanchez is willing to throw 12-16 passes a game. Favre's ego is way too big to sit back and watch his team run 57 times a game. As much as I dislike Schottenheimer, I feel like he was handcuffed by having to install a pass-happy offense last year to satisfy the cumslinger. Because of Sanchez's development and maturity, he's willing to defer to the running game, and that's the most important thing a QB can do in this system right now. I'd rather have a QB throw for 100 yards and make no mistakes than the forced passes Favre would give us with our running game and defense (GET WELL DAVID HARRIS, UGH).
