i take it all back

[hi_im_god]

i withdraw all the favre smack i've ever said or thought.

hard to root for a guy in purple but he still has it.

That throw and catch were about as good as it gets. There are only about 5 guys in the history of the NFL that can scramble like that and make that type of throw.

Favre can do things no other quarterback in the history of the game can do. If not for his frequent mistakes I would say he was the best ever. He certainly is the best of the last decade.

What stats are they? Interceptions and poor decisions? No chance his numbers are better the last decade. None.

Let's not forget about the circus catch. That throw wouldve been forgotten about already had G. Lewis not tapped his toesies down. That play was more Lewis than Favre. Congrats G. Lew!

I agree, as good of a throw it was, it was even a better catch.
Mikey, How many times did he make catches like that when he was an Eagle? I'm taking under 3.

Under 3? I'd take under 1. He was, from time to time, able to hold onto a few of Don's not so accurate throws.

How bout that dropped pass in last years NFCCG on a beautifully drawn up play that had him jogging off the line of scrimmage only to blow right by Rod Hood? Dropped a sure thing, but holds onto today's pass. All is well though, as we unloaded him to NE for a 5th round pick, which turned into either S Macho Harris (a starter) or TE Cornelius Ingram (IR'd this year). I'm just not sure which.

Amazing that Favre has somehow morphed into an...underdog? I got a little teary when he led that last drive. i wanted it so bad for him. I spent most of his career criticizing all of his mistakes instead of appreciating the fact that he is part of that special breed. Favre is a true gamer.

I am glad he came back and I hope he leads the vikings deep into the playoffs. Where is sniper?

Thank you for injecting some sense into this thread. The catch was the amazing part of this play. The throw forced an impossible catch that was made.

Stop your hating for just one second and realize the ball was placed in the only spot where it could be caught and not be defended. The throw and the catch were both exceptional.

It was a good throw. But it took a great catch to make it a TD. That receiver doesn't do an amazing job of getting both feet down and Favre is the idiot who threw the ball out the back of the end zone. Yet all the credit is going to Favre when the receiver made the great play.

And it was a throw none of the other quarterbacks on their roster could have even made.

How many QB's in the NFL can make that play in that situation?

wow Favre is the best of the last decade?? Put down the crack pipe. He may have been in the top three for the 1990-2000 decade but he has been very overrated this decade. To say he's been better than Manning, Brady, or even Drew Brees or McNabb is just crazy.

Looks like someone is starting to see the light!

[rpncaine]

Oh yeah, give me McNabb over Manning anyday. I would love to have a QB who plays only 60% of the time.

learn to read?

McNabb > Favre this decade

McNabb < Manning forever

(let me know if you need help deciphering the > & <)

Manning is light years the best qb of his era.

It's not even close.

A lot of people mention Brady because he won 3 Super Bowls ... but he won them with defenses ranked #1, #2, and #6 in the NFL in points against... while his offensive units ranked #4, #6, and #12 in points scored.

The defense was the Pats superior side of the ball in all 3 SB winning seasons.

Brady was just an excellent qb who, for a long time, had a great defensive machine to help him out.

The only overpowering offenseive team Brady ever played on was the '07 one when Moss was added. That team set the NFL scoring record ... but got David Tyree'd in the Super Bowl.

if Manning had Brady's defenses ... he'd have been unstoppable.
