Does Favre still get credit (2 Viewers)

Come on, this is painfully obvious here, I can't fathom how people just don't want to view FAVRE in a negaitive light as if it makes him a worse QB then the hype placed on him.
There is no viable counter-argument for your nonsense. Please back up your statement with some numbers.Of course, you know that you can't - so you keep blustering. My old man had a saying for guys like you:

"A lot of noise on the stairs & no one coming down"

So, I'll wait for you to prove your point, and until you do I'll keep shaking my head & laughing at your complete lack of acumen & anti-Favre bias.

Here's some numbers for you, creamoftheVikes & Bearsgogglz:Brett Favre, record, last 4 week of the season when the $$$ is on the line:15-2 home & away since 2000, last 4 games38-11 overall home & away career, last 4 games9-0 at home since 2000, last 4 games23-2 at home career, last 4 games.Please find me another QB who can match those numbers since in the last 4 games of the year when playoff berths are on the line, both career & since 2000 - when he is allegedly washed up.All the guy does is win when the $$$ are on the line. He's one of the top 3 2:00 minute QBs in NFL history. Apparently that isn't good enough for you. But I'll wait while you provide some QB in the history of the NFL with better numbers over such a long span and near the end of their careers.:punked:

Give numbers to prove it. Just saying a name means nothing. AND, Brady has not done it for 10+ years like Favre has. :fishy:
 
I think you have to look at his entire body of work. That includes the 4000 yard seasons, the come-from-behind victories, the superb play at home in December and the Super Bowl win.

BzzzzzzzzzzzzzWe have a loser.You aren't actually concerned with numbers, are you, or you wouldn't have posted this answer without making at least a modium of effort to see if you were right? You just spout off the top of your head & expect people here to accept your omnipotent opinion as fact. I think you'll find that on this message board that attitude quickly puts you behind the 8 ball and makes you a target of great derision. People here don't suffer fools lightly.Tom Brady, last 4 games of the season, since 2001 (or in other words, his career):7-1 at home, last 4 games.11-2 overall, home & away, last 4 games.Care to take another guess?
 
Here's some numbers for you, creamoftheVikes & Bearsgogglz:

:rolleyes: Here we go again.....Very impressive stats, PB, but I gotta laugh at how Favre disciples such as yourself blindly rush to his defense when others dare to say he's not the greatest QB of all time. Believe me, I'm not knocking the guy -- he's a first ballot lock for the HOF, a top 7 or 8 QB for the ages. But at this point in his career, the team does not rely on him to win games for them, and he makes a lot of stupid throws for a 13 year vet.

Now this is usually where GB fans start with the excuses, like "Oh, well that's just Favre!" or "But he makes plays other QB's can't dream of! We can accept mistakes if they happen!" That's my point. Most who follow the guy are apologists, dismissing and/or minimizing his gaffes, even when they hurt the team's chances.

In case you haven't noticed, the offense has moved away from him being the go-to guy, instead relying on the O-line and Green to move the ball. Why do that? GB has a very good WR corp. Why not put it on your All-Universe QB to win games for ya? 'Cause even now, Favre is as prone to brain farts as he was early in his career. Hell, just last season there was a blurb before a Detroit/GB game which had Kurt Schottenheimer (D-coordinator for the Lions) basically saying they wanted the ball in Favre's hands because he gives opposing teams a few shots per game to get turnovers. And it wasn't meant with any disrespect, either. It's a well-known fact around the league: Favre is gonna give you a couple chances a game to make a play on him. Another outlet, CNN/SI, picked it up afterwards. It was an interesting read, and one which you might find enlightenting:

Dr Z.

My view is that last few years, Favre has cost GB as many games as he's personally won for them. I'm not saying that he doesn't play very well in spots or that he's a bad QB, just that the days of him taking the team on his back and leading them to victory happen about as often as a poor decision by him puts the final nail in the coffin for the team. Capice?

 
The one fact that you are all forgetting is that when Favre makes a gambling throw, that is just Favre! You gotta love him. He does things his way. You have to take the bad with the good with him. When he is on, he is simply breathtaking. He makes plays that no other QB could even dream of making. He will be a unanimous 1st ballot hall of famer. No discussion about the greatest QB of all time will ever occur again with out the lovable, kooky Favre right in the middle of it. Despite all of Brett's stats, those stats don't even begin to tell of his greatness. Any goofball can look at QB rating and see who has the highest. But the true fan knows how to watch the game and see what is really going on. And it is in those intangibles, the hidden parts of the game that don't show up on any stat sheet, where the Legend of Brett Favre looms the largest. :bow:

Ummmmmmmm, let me think about this....Uh, because success in football is still predicated on the run? That a team takes less chances & can control tempo of the game by running? That this is fundamental to the game of football? Capice? (LOL)

Why did DEN go away from Elway & use TD when they made their SB runs? Because Elway couldn't win SBs all by himself and running the ball effectively gives a team a significant competitve advantage.

But I'll put this nonsense to bed once and for all. Here are Favre' numbers in close games games decided by 3 pts or less), career:

Record: 21-13

Average passing: 21/36 253 yds 2 TDs 1 INT

Record in close games since 2000 (when he has gotten washed up):

Playoff stats, career:

Career Top 10 in stats in the NFL (year w/ rank):

Now, look at those stats & rankings and please tell me again how he is just a mediocre QB right now. Go ahead, make some excuse for all the top 10 performances since 2000. They're in bold, so they are easy to find. I'll wait.

Then there are his career stats compared to all QBs whom have ever played in the NFL:

Among the league's all-time top 50

Pass attempts: 3

Completions: 2

Passing yards: 4

Passing TDs: 2

There are the stats, plain & simple. Now, tell me again how Favre isn't worthy of the accolades he gets. To say Favre isn't one of the top 4 QBs ever to have played the game is just foolhardy and can't be backed up by any facts. To say he is washed up & mediocre right now & that D coordinators actually want the ball in Favre's hands - especially in the last 2 minutes of a half - is just as foolhardy.

Ask DET how it worked out for them last week when they thought they had GB on the ropes and were on the verge of getting back into the playoffs & then Favre took over the game in the 2nd half. I'll bet their D coordinator was just estatic to see Favre passing the ball in the 2nd half.

It's crunch time, the $$$ is on the line. Step aside & wach Favre work his December magic. If you don't want to believe it is true, that's fine, but don't come out here pounding your chest about how crappy Favre has gotten in the face of all the facts available.

Better to keep your mouth shut & be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Wow. Sorry I put a twist in your knickers by actually saying aloud that Bratt is not the bestest, most wonderful QB of all-time, PB! I merely added my 2 cents to the thread about how amusing it is that obsessed, jock sniffing fans of the guy will go to great lengths to protect him from assuming any responsiblity for his mistakes. I applaud your spray-my-shorts-with-love-for-the-guy approach which did nothing but prove my point. Great job! :thumbup: Again, just to review, Favre is a great QB, but he makes more mistakes than you'd expect from a supposed all-timer. You're of the mind that he's way on the plus side the past few years between singlehandedly winning games and making 2 or 3 mistakes which keep GB from winning games they should? That's cool. I disagree. No need to blow a gasket, friend. Go back to romancing your Official Favre blow up doll and pay me no nevermind. ;)

 
Please find me another QB who can match those numbers since in the last 4 games of the year when playoff berths are on the line, both career & since 2000 - when he is allegedly washed up.
Tom Brady
Give numbers to prove it. Just saying a name means nothing. AND, Brady has not done it for 10+ years like Favre has. :fishy:
ahhh have you watch NE the oh past few years? How many SB wins do both QBs have? Brady and Farve led their teams to one of the biggest upsets in recent SB history but with completely different outcomes.By the way, I have backed it up with numbers. Tell you what, who has the better playoff % record and who has more wins? Who was favored in a SB but was the losing QB? Who was the underdog in a SB and was the winning QB? Brady has more SB rings than Farve so if you want me to, we can come back to this discussion when he has as many years as Farve has played but he still will have more SB rings than Farve will ever have.By the way, come to think of it, I can't remember a time when Brady was the cause of a big time win while you can't say the same thing about Farve.
 
You must have some real masochistic tendencies, my friend. You have been punked repeatedly in this thread and yet you keep coming back for more. Wow. :no:

:goodposting: Agree 100% here. Funny but you attempt to say that a player isn't as good as people think and people throw a hissy fit and twist it around to say that you think said player stinks.Me: That player isn't AS GOOD as people make him out to be.Farve lovers: How can you say he sucks!?!?! You know nothing about football, you just signed up, you must be a young kid. Who else has done better than Farve?!?!?Me: Brady has two SB and never cost them a big game, EVER. Farve has one SB and blew big games all of his career.Farve lovers: Back that up (or excuses flow in and then time to attack me personally)

The problem is you've yet to provide any type of evidence to support your claim that Favre "loses more games than he wins." Myself and others have provided example after example after example that proves otherwise and all you can do is spout off more conjecture.Honestly, if you want to have a legitimate discussion about Favre, his place in history, whether he's over-rated or not, that's all fine and good. But bring something to the table besides loud talk because loud talk just isn't going to get it done in this case.Sorry. :)

If you had actually read what I've written in this thread you'd already know that I hardly absolve Favre of his mistakes when he makes them. You really do need to keep up. It'll help what argument you hope to present.Again, you've presented nothing that proves your point of view. The link you provided didn't support your position at all and actually strengthened the opposing point of view. Now you're trying to turn this into a Favre vs. Brady debate. Meanwhile, we're still waiting for one bit of evidence that supports your claim that Favre "loses more games than he wins."He does play a later game today. Maybe you just need a little extra time? ;)

Brady has more SB rings than Farve so if you want me to, we can come back to this discussion when he has as many years as Farve has played but he still will have more SB rings than Farve will ever have.

By the way, come to think of it, I can't remember a time when Brady was the cause of a big time win while you can't say the same thing about Farve.:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
:hophead: :hophead: you are such a hammer
 
So much for keeping this thread on track :loco:
Well, it started out on topic, but the Favre apologists take anything not John Madden-esque that's said about The Emperor of Green Bay and run with it! :boxing:
 
true, very true..Farve is sort of like politics and religion, no matter what, you can't change someone's view about him no matter what. People for some reason take it personally if you bring up any less than stellar points about him.Carry on...

 
People for some reason take it personally if you bring up any less than stellar points about him.
Where did the Favre bashers support their "stellar points" in this thread? :loco:All I saw was claims that he lost more games than he won with his play yet no numbers to back it up.

To say he is washed up & mediocre right now & that D coordinators actually want the ball in Favre's hands - especially in the last 2 minutes of a half - is just as foolhardy.

Ask DET how it worked out for them last week when they thought they had GB on the ropes and were on the verge of getting back into the playoffs & then Favre took over the game in the 2nd half. I'll bet their D coordinator was just estatic to see Favre passing the ball in the 2nd half.

It's crunch time, the $$$ is on the line. Step aside & wach Favre work his December magic. If you don't want to believe it is true, that's fine, but don't come out here pounding your chest about how crappy Favre has gotten in the face of all the facts available.

Better to keep your mouth shut & be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Hmmmm. I guess today's game might've put a crimp in those impressive stats, eh PB? Maybe now you'll begin to understand what I was talking about earlier -- bad decisions at critical junctures of the game by Favre certainly prohibit GB from winning games. It really does happen, but you only notice it if you take off the green/yella glasses. I know, I know, there were other players and/or coaching decisions at fault; I'm sure you've got a laundry list of 'em, along with a ton of other excuses. But the bottom line is that Favre made enough miscues today to seriously hamper the team's ability to win. Now, the refs sure did their damnedest to help GB along, what with picking up that flag after Bratt pegged the ref with the ball (only after he batted his eyelashes at them, though), and then that horse#### pass interference call immediately thereafter. Wasn't quite enough, though. Ah well. It's all over 'cept for your :cry:
 
In case you haven't noticed, the offense has moved away from him being the go-to guy, instead relying on the O-line and Green to move the ball.  Why do that?  GB has a very good WR corp.  Why not put it on your All-Universe QB to win games for ya?  'Cause even now, Favre is as prone to brain farts as he was early in his career.  Hell, just last season there was a blurb before a Detroit/GB game which had Kurt Schottenheimer (D-coordinator for the Lions) basically saying they wanted the ball in Favre's hands because he gives opposing teams a few shots per game to get turnovers.  And it wasn't meant with any disrespect, either.  It's a well-known fact around the league: Favre is gonna give you a couple chances a game to make a play on him.
Ummmmmmmm, let me think about this....Uh, because success in football is still predicated on the run? That a team takes less chances & can control tempo of the game by running? That this is fundamental to the game of football? Capice? (LOL)

Why did DEN go away from Elway & use TD when they made their SB runs? Because Elway couldn't win SBs all by himself and running the ball effectively gives a team a significant competitve advantage.

But I'll put this nonsense to bed once and for all. Here are Favre' numbers in close games games decided by 3 pts or less), career:

Record: 21-13

Average passing: 21/36 253 yds 2 TDs 1 INT

Record in close games since 2000 (when he has gotten washed up):

11-3

Average passing: 20/33 235 yds 2 TDs 1 INT

*************************************************

Playoff stats, career:

Record: 11-8

Career Top 10 in stats in the NFL (year w/ rank):

Now, look at those stats & rankings and please tell me again how he is just a mediocre QB right now. Go ahead, make some excuse for all the top 10 performances since 2000. They're in bold, so they are easy to find. I'll wait.

Then there are his career stats compared to all QBs whom have ever played in the NFL:

Among the league's all-time top 50

Pass attempts: 3

Completions: 2

Passing yards: 4

Passing TDs: 2

There are the stats, plain & simple. Now, tell me again how Favre isn't worthy of the accolades he gets.

One game doesn't make your case but keep trying, Bearcrapplz :thumbup:
 
Beat me to it, damn!Ok, this game really mimmicks what I've been talking about (and others) about Favre losing more important games than not. 3rd Quarter, down by 4 he threw an INT in the RedZone.4th Quarter, down by 11 with plenty of time, again threw another INT.We all know about the INT in the Endzone (again, why does he throw into double coverage).2002 He lost ANOTHER playoff game where they were favored vs Atlanta.I have through this thread backed up key games where he did not come through.Another fun Farve fact:Since 2001 Farve has thrown the second MOST Interceptions in the RedZone.Why are his INT and not winning many big games where he should have NOT even recognized by Farve lovers?

 
LOL! How did I know these comments were going to come from Bearsgogglz & creamoftheVikes?So you 2 are saying that 1 game defines a 13 year stellar career by a QB? You guys have even less acumen than I thought - and even I didn't think that was possible.

 
Now, the refs sure did their damnedest to help GB along, what with picking up that flag after Bratt pegged the ref with the ball (only after he batted his eyelashes at them, though), and then that horse#### pass interference call immediately thereafter.
And you call the Packer fans in this thread biased. :rotflmao: But yup, Favre's 2 INTs were huge plays in the game -- especially the one in the Red Zone. That was an absolute killer and a huge turning point in the game. No doubt about it.

And this hits home what some of us were saying before. Why Farve acts shocked when he threw that terrible INT in the redzone is beyond me..he has done that plenty of times before.

What we are saying is that this game mimmicks many previous games in Favre's career.

LOL at anything you attempt since you can't produce the facts to base your claim that Favre loses more games than he wins.Do you still wear protective head gear or did you give it up because the damage is already done? :D
 
Dont have time to read or rebuttle but Favre did make two bad plays. The INTS were bad... but the refs were horible today and anybody not admitting that is definitley watching the game with pure antiPacker bias. The countless holding calls and pass interference calls were horrible calls.

 
Hold on now PK, let's not go down the "not Farve's fault it was the refs". The facts are that he throws a TON of INT in the redzone which speaks volumns about his play. This game they were down 4 pts and he threw an INT. They were then down by 11 and had plenty of time to pull out a win (or tie) and again threw a terrible pass for another INT. Finally, his almost TD to DD was a terrible decision, one that an experienced QB should never make.Don't blame the Refs now, this was a game that they were favored and Farve had many shots to win but didn't.

So how many Super Bowl victories and MYP's does your QB have?????? :popcorn: :crickets:

Not this season. Coming into today, Favre had thrown just 1 INT inside the 10-yard line. Oh, that info came courtesy of the link you provided, so thanks for that. :D Also, that INT was his first in 161 pass attempts at Lambeau this season, so he clearly hasn't been throwing many INTs lately at home. And I notice you still are unable to prove he "loses more games than he wins."

No...you don't get it. Produce the facts that show Favre has lost more games than he has won. You are the tool that stated it was a fact but you can't seem to produce the numbers to support your claim.I'm done with your pathetic fishing trip. Find another board to troll.

Considering you are saying Favre isn't a HOF QB, I'd say, quit bashing and learn something about football. Your man C-Pep will never ever accomplish the MVP's, nor will he ever win a Super Bowl..Ever :no:This is ridiculous to even argue with a 12yr old mentality like yours

Damn, I thought he was only 7.
 
Looks to me like the Favre backers have stepped up and admitted Favre blew the game today. With luck like that you should go to Vegas, oh thats right your to young to drive. Say whatever you want kid, it doesn't change the fact that Favre has been a great QB throughout his career and will be a first ballot HOF'er. Todays loss lowers Favre's late-season record to what 25-3 now? I'm still waiting for the proof that Favre has lost more games than he has won, you don't seem to want to answer that one. Where are your facts TheClearlyCreamed.

 
Few QBs can seemingly cost you the game then march em' right back and almost win it. For me, the negatives+positives ALMOST cancel each other out there. Yep he cost em'. Big deal, he's won enough for them. Also, point of this thread, they scored 8 points in like a minute. Tell me any playoff opponent isn't frightenned by that happening to them? He throws it so hard so on the numbers he's one of few QBs that I don't mind hearing the announcers say "he'd have caught it anyway, it would have stuck to his chest" or whatever. It really just shoots right in there so fast. TV and slo mo and all prolly take away from this but that is a fast fast ball and extremely hard to defend.

 
Now, the refs sure did their damnedest to help GB along, what with picking up that flag after Bratt pegged the ref with the ball (only after he batted his eyelashes at them, though), and then that horse#### pass interference call immediately thereafter.

Question:Who has the second most INT in the redzone since 1991?

When has Farve been GREAT more times than not in big time games? Start with career postseason games and don't post records against the likes of Chicago / Detroit etc. Speaking of Chicago and TEN, tow bottom feeders, where was Farve in those games as well vs those GREAT teams? I've answered it DeCheater

Umm... Favre??Question to you.What other QB in the league today has been playing since 1991?? 2nd part... How many games has the next QB, other than Favre, played in that time??Your question is flawed because there is only one answer... you repeat making as #### of yourself so keep it up.In reply to your other post quoting me... I admit Favre had a bad game but can you honestly say most of the first half calls the refs made on the Packers defense were fair?? They were some of the worst calls I have seen. Plus they did not call some penalties on the Jaguar defense in the first half that should have been called. Believe me, I was there and saw the crap go down. From me and others in this thread you have been so :own3d: I think you rank up there with the Matrix's of this board.
