I can't believe you are using QB rating still when there are so many other more accurate gauges of value out there. Footballoutsiders is the best among them. They have Favre at 7th this year just behind Schaub and Orton. If you want to contend those guys are in the upper echelon that is fine, you just have a much bigger upper echelon than I do.

7th out of 30 is pretty good for an old guy

No doubt, I just have a tough time calling it upper echelon. To me the upper echelon is three guys and it should be pretty clear what three I am talking about.

As much as it pains me, Favre has played great this year. They could easily be 4-2 though one of those wins was simply a great throw by him. It's still early however and he is 40 and his arm could fall off again like it did last year. I'm still trying to figure out why dala loves Favre and hates Manning.

I dont hate Manning and I don't love Favre. Manning is a great QB.

Manning, Brady and Henne?

Was this what you call "gameplanning" again Sniper? LOL

Yeah, the gameplan i guess is to let favre throw 4 td passes.

Minnesota just went into Green Bay and put up 38 points against that weak defense. That mediocre #4 only threw 4 td passes.

Is there anything else you want to wager on Sniper?

Favre elevated his game against Green Bay this year, there is no doubt about that. I noticed this thread was awfully quiet last week after the 51 attempts leading to a loss in Pittsburgh. Green Bay's O-Line is not getting it done and Rodgers needs to realize that and get rid of the ball quicker. When I made the bet I didn't know Chad Clifton would be injured and how much that would impact their line. It's a shame cause Green Bay would be a heck of a team this year if they could just protect the QB.

Now Tampa Bay hangs 38 on them. Green Bay is a .500 team.

How did the D look to you this weekend basically shutting out the NFC east leading cowboys?
