Brett Favre Chasing Records (1 Viewer)

[pigskinliquors]

Edited to add that this post is more than a year old = just a bump for the final numbers = currently 6 TD's and 3 INT's away from the records...

Last year Brett had undoubtedly the worst season of his career with 29 INT's and only 20 TD passes. The situation in Green Bay was far from ideal, with multiple injuries at RB and WR.

He is currently 2nd all-time in both TD passes, and Interceptions. To move into the #1 position on both lists he needs the following:

22 more INT's (to pass G. Blanda)

24 more TD's (to pass D. Marino)

Those high on Brett anticipate another plethora of TD's; while those lower on him anticipate his INT's to hurt his performance. Thus, predicting both will give us a good idea of where you might rank him.

Vote in the poll, and post your reasoning below.

That backup should start getting the snaps this season. I see less on both counts.

I don't think Favre is coming back to let the backup (whoever that is since Rodgers appears to be a bust so far) take snaps. If the backup didn't get snaps last year they aren't getting snaps. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong and Favre still got all the snaps.

 

[Despyzer]

He also had a pretty bad year in '99 (57% comp. 22 TDs, 23 INTs).

His quarterbacks coach at the time? Mike McCarthy.

('93 kinda sucked too, but that info wasn't nearly as salacious.)

 

[DawnBTVS]

I have him at 23 TDs and 19 INTs...not exactly a sterling season by any means though.

I'm actually contemplating throwing darts to make predictions for all Packers this year. The range of potential is extremely high/low. I'm currently procrastinating at work, by starting my initial projections for players. I use a formula based on a weighted two year running performance as a starting point; and include variance between years (per game) to assess risk associated w/ the starting point. My formula for Brett says "You don't have a chance."

 

[T Man]

I see Brett doing a lot of ad libbing again this year. With the current WR corps, he will have a lot of interceptions. THe number will be less then last year's 29, but enough to set the record.

If he gets close to the TD record, I can see GB doing what it has to playcalling wise to ensure he gets the record. THus my prediction that he throws more than 24 TDs.

What should happen, however, if the Pack is out of the playoff hunt is to give ROdgers PT. BUT IT WON'T HAPPEN barring an injury to Brett.

 

[Portis 26]

He also had a pretty bad year in '99 (57% comp. 22 TDs, 23 INTs).

I believe, in his defense, his arm was injured that year.

 

[msommer]

He might do both and I couldn't care less - I have Driver and no intention t pick up Favre....

Nice try "Now that we know Brett is back" implies that the poll was done BEFORE knowing if Favre was returning. You bumped your own thread to continue to pile on Favre. We need more Favre threads today.

Why don't you tell us first since the Favre haters are the only ones that think they know what Favre will do this year.

Thanks! I'm curious as to why you think he'll have a decline in yards and completions percentage from last year? I'll play as well:3,820 yards, 24 TDs, 25 INT's, 61.1% completion percentage; 44 rushing yards + 8 fumbles

The decline in yards and completion percentage are very small over last year. That is all. Now get back to your "How to Hate Favre" notes.

I am FAR from a Favre Hater, though it appears that you throw that out to anyone who doesn't believe he is still the second coming. In his prime he was undoubtedly one of the most exciting, and gifted players to watch. I just believe he is past his prime, and is not the qb that he once was. Just like Marino coming back for his final two years, or Jordan playing with Washington; Favre IMHO is no longer dominant, is still adequate, but shouldn't be placed on a pedestal. This in no way means I "hate" him. If I was fortunate enough to play in the NFL I'm pretty sure I would play as long as I could as well. You get back to your "Favre is God" notes, and we can agree that he was a great player, and disagree about his ability to win or lose games in the present.

 

[parasaurolophus]

i remember hearing all this favre talk on several occasions now. When he was younger there were lots of people who claimed he was horrible, too many bad decisions, etc. When rhodes was the coach people thought he was washed up and called for hasselbeck to get snaps. Now we are hearing he is done and rodgers should get the snaps.

He has answered the critics before and i think he will answer them yet again. The guy is a gunslinger, always has been. He is subject to slumps just like shooters and hitters in the NBA and MLB. The difference there is they have 82 and 162 games to work through them. The NFL has only 16 games. If you get in a slump, it can wear on you. I feel Favre is the same way.

Ummm wasn't Rodgers injured last year?

Serious question. I know it's a hard pill to swallow that your hero is not what he once was but seriously. Not only did Favre lead the NFL in INTs, but he had the worst starting QB rating in the NFL last year at 70.9 as well. It's a wonder why you, as GB fans, have not started to question him yet. I thought I heard last year that the only reason Rodgers was not put in was because he was injured. Is this accurate or not? You can take take down the Favre poster any time now. It's OK, I'm sure there is room enough on the wall for Woodson now.

Don't blame me that you have no clue what you are writing. (Rodgers wasn't injured last season)

He also had the most decimated, talent-less offensive group in the league to work with...

 

[Kleck.]

I'll go with 26TDs, and don't care how many INTs as long as he tosses TDs #24 and #25. Preferably week 16 against the Viks since I have tickets for the game.

Awesome game to see Kleck. A Thursday night game, and possibly Favre's last game at Lambeau.

There is no way that could happen now....maybe when Sherman was there, but if McCarthy benched Favre in favor of Rodgers, he wouldn't last much longer unless Rodgers came in and won a bunch of games, the fans in GB would crucify McCarthy.

I can't fathom a scenario where Rodgers would go in and win a bunch of games. The only rationale for playing Rodgers while Favre is healthy would be to start looking to the future (not the current team).

Exactly. Favre will only get pulled if he is playing poorly and the team is loosing. Therefor, Rodgers will only be playing this year if the team is, well, bad. I don't think anyone has false hopes of Rodgers being some sort of huge spark plug, but he was a 1st round QB taken by the Pack and he will eventually need work in real live games. If this team is out of it early and Favre is playing like he did last year. Common sense would say Rodgers sees some time.

Me too, but unlike Farve these days, I hit what I'm throwing at!

Common sense says that Favre should be pulled if this happens, but he has earned the right to go down with the ship. Right or wrong, Brett IS the GB Packers, and the organization owes it to him to go out on his terms. Add the fact that his fans would rather see an aging Brett than an untested rookie; and pulling Brett, in any circumstance could = anarchy.

Any truth to the rumor that the Giants and Bears have worked out a deal that if Favre is within 6 TD's of Marino's record after week 16 the Giants will release Michael Strahan and the Bears will pick him up and insert him at starting CB?If so, will the No Fun League let Strahan keep his jersey #?

 

[ookook]

Favre's problems are:

(a) a bad situation with a horrid O-line

(b) bad decision making

They most certainly are not physical.

Look at Bledsoe with BUF when everyone said he was done. With a different situation AND BETTER PLAY CALLING he was like QB6 last year.

What has changed? Well, not enough perhaps. He will improve this year but still throw too many INTs. He needs a coach who he will respond to and I don't think little Mikey is it.

But he still has nearly as much talent as any other QB. Insert him somewhere like SEA and he would be great once more...good situation and a coach who will chew his ***.

Hear this: getting rid of Sherman is addition by subtraction. Favre did not listen to him AT ALL and Sherman kept calling plays that allowed Favre to throw really dumb passes. If the new coaching staff just call better plays that will help alot.

With last 4 years Favre has thrown 27TDs per season and 20 INTs. H ewill regress toward that mean.

 

[redman]

I think he will break Peyton Manning's single season record by throwing more than 49 INT's that are returned for TD's.

It should be a good one. I've never been to a night game at Lambeau, so I figured this one would be a great one to let pop my Lambeau night cherry. It will be the first time my wife sees Favre live, a Packer game live and the stadium, so that should be pretty neet for her.Record or not, Lambeau is an experience like no others...

Virtually EVERY NFL and Division I college team says the same about their stadiums Lambeau is certainly one of my favorite venues, and it is an experience like no other!

 

[lod2005]

Favre is going to heave the ball like a maniac any time they are near the endzone. He will attempt to throw 25 TD's at least and break Dan Marino's record and THEN retire (his plan all along). Interceptions? Lots of them but who cares.

HOW in the world can you say that?????? have you seen him play? or are you just throwing out something that sounds good cause you've heard other talking heads saying it??

the guy hasn't so much as stepped on the field! and NO it's not cause he sucks.. he's behind one of the NFL's all-time greats... what the ####?

this is why i hate the SP.
