One of the greatest passers in league history in place of the luckiest starter in the league last year?

How would this not be 100% in the affirmative?

I guess it also depends on the future value right? I mean, if you're talking 2007, I would probably take Favre. But honestly, but how many quality years can he really have left? At this point, is it perhaps not better to take a chance with the young guy?

1 > 0 Even if Favre only has one good year left in him, he's got Grossman beat.

Worst post I've seen all day. I will bet you ANY amount of money you'd like to lose that this year Favre doesn't score as many pts. in standard PPR format as the best season for the remainder of Grossman's career. To clarify - you're betting on Favre in '07 and I'm betting on Grossman for every year he's still on a roster. Name your price.

If I'm not mistaken talking more NFL rather than Fantasy Football.

Grossman is just Favre without much of the "good" Favre stuff and lots of the "bad" Favre stuff.

Anyone that says that they wouldn't take Favre over Grossman is absolutely delusional IMO.

If nothing else, just having him there when he breaks the record for career TD passes would be huge. He's 6 shy of Marino now and the Bears play the Packers in the 5th game of the season. Can you imagine what it would be like if Favre was one shy of tied with the record and he was playing against the Packers?

Then he would shatter the record!

I take Brett Favre and never have a second thought about it. Grossman shouldn't be starting in any type of football league.

Rex Grossman had more TD passes last season(23) than the previous Bears QB's combined from the 2005 and 2004 seasons combined(20). I believe he is getting a horrible treatment. Is he the savior....no. Is he the best QB to come to Chicago since Erik Kramer of 1995....Yes.

People love dumping on Rex. I didn't want to buy into him last year, but he impressed me. He gets slammed for throwing a duck in the Super Bowl. How many other QB's wished they could of had the opportunity even be in the Super Bowl? He's short, does throw it up on occasion, but also makes some great plays. I wouldn't take a beat down Favre at this point. If this post was 8 years ago I'd take him.

This one is easy if you ask me - Grossman inspires very little confidence, and he's just as loose a cannon as Favre - except when Favre throws it up for grabs, he's trying to make something happen. Rex does it just to avoid getting hit.

Little confidence? In who, you? Fantasy football guys? Fans? His team mates and coaches have confidence in him and they got to the Super Bowl with him. Hard to argue with that.

ARod will always be a Seattle Mariner anyway...a mariner that played out the end of his career for the big cash in the big city.

I don't like Grossman's splits. (I wish FBG's split stats didn't include the playoffs). Last year, regular season and playoffs, Grossman when ahead put up 61% completions at almost 8 yards per pass, with 15 TDs and 3 INTs. When tied or trailing close, he put up 52% completions at 6.4 yards per pass, with 11 TDs and 12 INTs. And when trailing big, he put up 44.4% completions with 3.6 yards per pass, with 0 TDs and 7 INTs. (Ouch.)

It might be argued that a QB who only performs well when he's ahead is OK for a team like Chicago with a strong defense that will put them ahead a lot. Certainly that formula worked pretty well in 2006. But I wouldn't expect it to be successful long-term.
