Phase of the Game

If you think this proves anything it clearly shows you have no concept of the big picture, sho. Once again with your lame spin attempts you pull some lame stat that you think makes your case.In this situation it doesn't and it's not even close. Do you think there will be a quote from a player that says...."I am not playing as hard for Rodgers as I did for Favre"? Wake up, fool!!"I don't know if there is a void now."And nothing in that quote saying they are not trying hard or are trying any less with Rodgers."He was a leader to us also,He's Brett Favre. That's saying enough right there. We tried to play at his level. We did that for the most part. I don't know if there's a void (now). We've just got to adapt. He's not here anymore, 'OK, we have to find a way to win.' "cornerback Jarrett Bush said of the defense.Im not claiming they are not missing his freakin leadership...can you please stop stating that complete and total lie? I doubt it.Favre not being there has not made a Packers player play worse. You have absolutely nothing to support this.And again...I don't diminish what he "has actually done".I diminish the thoughts and opinions of others who are overestimating his effect.and I quote sho nuff....."I go through no lengths to diminish what the guy has done."WHo said they do not know anything about leadership.
But can anyone point to any of these quotes and show where Brett Favre made his Packer teammates play better and now they are not simply because of him?
Thanks, Ill hang up and listen.
So again...can anyone point to a single player that played better simply because of Brett Favre and is now playing worse because its Rodgers at QB?
Anyone?There have bee quotes in here by Jets players acknowledging what Favre has done to elevate their play(and you dismiss them). It was discussed this morning on ESPN. Wayne Larrivee, the voice of the Packers has stated publicly the Packers are missing Favre's leadership and you try to fall back on some lame attempt like this. The team is missing leadership and EVERYONE knows it. Stop trying this silly attempt to point out single players because all you will do is spin and spin again in your attempts to diminish what Favre meant to the Packers. You also should know that leadership is an intangible and difficult to measure but this is where you want to try and spin too.
This is my point.
Its not spin...spin is your continued attempts at painting my words to mean something completely different than what I said.
You are completely full of it.
Exactly, its completely intangible and you have no idea how much of a difference it made.
I have not attempted to diminish what Favre actually meant (that is your spin).
I have stated I believe you all are overestimating the effect it had on the team.
But you will never understand that...it does not fit with your opinion of me...so instead you spin and lie.
"I think one thing you have to understand, Brett never spoke,He was never one of those guys who was verbal. He just played. That's how he led. I think that's how some guys think that's their leadership. That was 4. He never said anything to guys. He just went out there and played. Guys, they looked at it and said that's how they're going to perform."
Receiver Donald Driver
same with Driver.
So I will count that 0 for 2 in showing that players are not playing hard for Rodgers and they just did it for Favre.
You are really need to accept that Favre did provide leadership to the Packers AND THE JETS and the Packers are missing his leadership.
Sho...what about these...........
A quote from Leon Washington....
"When you have Brett Favre coming into the huddle, it makes everybody else in the huddle step their games up"
Jerico Cotchery
"It is very special to have a guy like that step into your huddle"
Eric Mangini
" I think Brett just . . . he instills confidence in the group ... There's a sense of ease when he has the ball. You feel he's going to get it to the right place."
From another player
"I didn't see any nervousness on his face; I saw a quiet confidence on his face, so to speak. When he stepped into the huddle, we knew we were going to be able to get it done because that's the way he's been this entire year."

Now back to your quote....
"I go through no lengths to diminish what the guy has done."
