Brett Favre could be money this year... (1 Viewer)

[SoCalBroncoFan]

In looking at Brett Favre I was surprised at how profound his splits were when Ahman Green was in the lineup and when he was not. Green was mostly healthy weeks 1-6 and missed weeks 7-16 with injury. In looking at the splits from those weeks you can see that Brett Favre was much more productive and less injury prone when Ahman was in the lineup.

Week 1-6

148 for 222, 232 YDS per game, 66.7% Comp %, 14 TD's, 8 INT's

Week 7-16

224 for 285, 249 YDS per game, 58.1% Comp %, 6 TD's, 21 INTs

Does this mean Favre is draftable? Not sure, but it does indicate that with a decent running game that Favre might have more to offer than people are giving him credit for.

I forget the exact numbers off the top of my head, but Favre was INCREDIBLE in the red zone as well last season.

Or maybe it just means he's old and got tired, sore and crapped out at the end of the year

Could be, but I am in the camp that with no established RB presence Brett tried to force it more often and the defense was waiting for it because they did not fear the run as much.

Strange. I though everyone had already departed on Gado Express.

 

[BigRed]

Depends on various things of course, but IMO he's an underrated backup QB candidate, esp in pass TDs=6 pts leagues. In fact I was kind of targeting him in our auction but he went kinda early and for more than I figured ($5 I think to the GB homer). Settled for Kitna. sigh

Hey FAVRE,

Good luck this year, we believe in you!

 

[coolnerd]

Favre did not look very good on the field for much of 2005, but was still QB13 overall (FBG scoring)...In the drafts I have seen he is going after that point.

 

[Billy1x]

This is now a run first team. He could put up Plummer like numbers but unless the defense breaks down they will not spend a lot of time coming from behind.

TDs will be interesting. Inside the 10 will McCarthy go for it by run or by pass? I think Jag likes to use the TEs so he should get around 20 for sure.

Outside of fantasy. I would rather have Favre as my QB in the playoffs than most of the other QBs in the league including the Mannings. If they befuddle him he's able to make up plays on the fly Flutie and the new kid on the block, Tony Romo. Yes he makes mistakes but at least you know you have a chance.

There are two guys that scare the heck out of opposing coaches. Don Coryell calling the plays and Brett Favre out of the pocket.

One of the most un-informed posts here. Favre lost his top 3 RB's, 2 of the top 3 WR's, his top TE for most of the year. No wonder his numbers went down.

 

[David Yudkin]

This is now a run first team.

Favre set a career high in attempts last season, airing it out 607 times. The team has serious questions at RB and I *HIGHLY* doubt Green will get anywhere near the workload that he's had in the past. The only way I see the Packers being a running team is if their defense allows 10 points per game and GB is simply running the ball to kill clock with a decent lead. Seeing how I doubt that happens, Favre should be back to his river boat gambling self and putting the ball up for grabs a lot.

During Favre's free-fall last year, I remember games where GB barely had two healthy bodies to put at WR as well. As has been mentioned, during the first portion of the year he was truly on a tear, with a four td game and a couple three td games mixed in there. Some might say the Packers' defense will be improve this year, but I say not enough to prevent some serious second-half slinging for #4. Ferguson + Jennings, if they stay healthy, will provide enough opposite Driver to give him somewhere to throw the ball. I think Favre could EASILY be a top 5-8 QB this year when all is said and done, especially in leagues that don't penalize for ints.

 

[Evilhomer3k]

I'm of the mind that Favre will bounce back this year. You can't lose that many people and still perform at the same level. I look at it this way. The floor on Favre is just what he had last year. In my league that was good for 13th best. In many leagues he's going after round 10. I've been targeting him as my #2 QB in every league I'm in. Frankly, I'd be comfortable with him as my #1 QB but since I can get him as a #2 I'm taking him there. I can't think of a better #2 out there. Could easily end up top 8 and won't miss a game.

 

[mojorizin]

Do you think an older Ahman Green (who I never thought was that special to begin with) will perform, his line will protect him, and the defense wont leave him out there for 40 minutes? If so he's definitely a more than solid #2.

If he has to press and tries to carry the team on his back again, he's going to go to hell again.

Packers defense could struggle at the start of the season but could be a real bear in the second half.

 

[joffer]

every draft i've done so far, i ended up taking him as my backup. he seems like a bargain right now, especially in leagues with only -1 or better for INTs

I have him as a starter in 2 Leagues, and couldn't be happier.The schedule will NOT allow for a bad season. IMHO

 

[Tom M]

He's got a tempting schedule this year and I agree that Ahman Green makes him more appealing but my league that drafts this Sunday gives -2 / INT so I'll be shying away from Favre there.

Does everyone forget this is a different team, with a different blocking scheme and new coach. Favre is more controlled and will do far more 3 step drops. Much more a pure form of WCO. I drafted him too and thay er coming together. Look out for Jennings.

 

[chris1969]

Have you seen GB's line? the only way Farve is money this year is if you have an insurance policy out on him.

Maybe if Favre didn't throw 29 INTs last year his team would not have been behind so much.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

Good call!

 

[Bailiver]

He started for me today!

 

[Koya]

Are Driver AND Jennings must starts against favorable matchups now?

ETA: Lets face it, when Favre was on, Driver and Javon were a wicked combo. Wonder how much of this Favre we will see from here out. Big win for the Pack from a football and FF perspective.

 

[omally]

He threw 29 INTS because they were behind so much.

 

[scott72]

Yeah where in the hell are all the Favre haters now?? Despite having Driver, Jennings (rookie) and a worthless Fergie, a joke of an O line, and no running game, he's still dominant. Yeah should of retired 3 years ago huh...

Come on you should know better than that. Since he's had 2 good games in a row they're in hiding. Don't worry though they'll be back with their "Favre is done" threads as soon as he has his next multiple interception game.

Just keeping a running tally of his INTs to date.INT 1 = against an early season top defense. 4th quarter Packers were down 26-0 when this 1st INT happened. Resulted in 0 points the other way.(1-10-CHI44 (11:46) (Shotgun) B.Favre pass deep right intended for G.Jennings INTERCEPTED by C.Tillman at CHI 24. C.Tillman to CHI 37 for 13 yards (G.Jennings).)INT 2 = 26-0 against same early season top defense. Resulted in 0 points the other way.(1-10-CHI37 (8:31) (Shotgun) B.Favre pass deep middle intended for G.Jennings INTERCEPTED by D.Manning at CHI 5. D.Manning to CHI 20 for 15 yards (T.Moll).)INT 3 = in the redzone, score was 14-13 with Packers down 1. INT turned into 3 points the other way.(1-7-NO7 (7:57) B.Favre pass short right intended for W.Henderson INTERCEPTED by O.Stoutmire [s.Fujita] at NO -1. Touchback.)

Favre is going to be throwing many TDs and many interceptions as he has for years. He's startable against bad Ds... and he plays A LOT of them.

Philadelphia and New England are not good pass defenses.

 

[Aaronl5]

I count nine good match-ups....and playing philadelphia in just the 4th quarter seems to be gold.
