If that were true, then none of us would have ever seen Steve DeBerg play a single game.

I hope for Favre and his legacy, that he decides to announce at some point before the season that this will be his last season. It would be nice to be able to give him his dues as he goes on the road this year, and to allow his fans at home to give him the respect that he has earned, all season long.
That being said; I don't believe this is a good thing for the Packers as a franchise. Brett has already stated that he doesn't want to mentor a young QB, and another year w/o Brett is going to be another year that the Packers take a step back from being a good franchise. For those stating that they had too much to overcome last year, to be competitive, teams have overcome more, and done well (see the NE Patriots of last year for an example). In fact, the Pack of last year were in virtually every game, but didn't get the big plays that were needed at the end of the games to get it done.
For those that think the Packers just out and out sucked and don't want to put any blame on Favre:
This suggests something else

That thread is a great example of what you offer this board. You have multiple opinionated posts and quite a few insults, but offer ZERO evidence to back up your rhetoric. We get that you love Brett, and that he does no wrong in your eyes. Fair enough, as we all have tainted views based solely on opinion. Yet, try and make some contribution to this board beyond calling others "Haters", etc. This board is supposed to be an exchange of information, not insults.You had to bring back that crap thread.

Great.
Another season of Favre explaining that they're a young team that can't rely on talent to overcome mistakes after he threw for 2 or 3 INTs that put the Packers into a hole.
His unwillingness to change his game for the good of the team will cost them a few wins again this year. I'd be happy for Packers fans if he'd actually swallow a little pride and adapt his game to a weaker supporting cast, but we all know he won't do that. He'll try to do too much, make a ton of mistakes, and be praised in the media for trying to carry the Packers on his back.

I'll go you one better. Regardless of when he retires, when all is said and done I will have tremendous respect for what he accomplished during his career. As a passer and a leader, he was one of the best I have personally seen in over three decades as a fan of the game. It's a pity to think how much more I would like him if we didn't have to put up with his nonsense during the offseason.

Fact - In his last ten games Farve threw 6 td's and 21 int's.Fact - Farve is 22 int's from the all time record (he threw 29 last year).Just remember that facts and Favre haters don't mix.
Fact - I don't want to list his numbers from his last 8 playoff games.
Just remember that facts and Favre crotch nuzzlers don't mix.

And when in doubt...these are the facts the haters come up with. They ignore everything positive because those positive things messed with the teams the haters want to support.Fact - In his last ten games Farve threw 6 td's and 21 int's.Fact - Farve is 22 int's from the all time record (he threw 29 last year).
Fact - I don't want to list his numbers from his last 8 playoff games.
You have to be one pathetic loser to find solace in bashing Favre.

He won't be enshrined in Canton anytime soon, but if there was a Hall of Fame for best play-action fakes, he would be a first ballot selection.1) Peyton Manning
2) Steve DeBerg
3) Boomer Esiason

Favre is a gun-slinger, and with that mentality there are some negatives - and here they are. More times than not people embrace Favre's risk taking ability but more times than not they would like to turn the other cheek when analyzing the reward\penality ratio of Favre's mentality.Fact - In his last ten games Farve threw 6 td's and 21 int's.Fact - Farve is 22 int's from the all time record (he threw 29 last year).

The more I watch Favre in the post-Homlgren era, the more I watch Hasselbeck in the current Homlgren era and the more highlights I see of Favre under Holmgren in Green Bay...I don't think it is a reach to say Favre is most successful when he is asked not to be Brett Favre and be a system quarterback.
