Packers´ Brett Favre has 272 picks, 5 shy of George Blanda´s record (1 Viewer)

[Limp Ditka]

Please track all events that advance the great Brett Favre closer this record here.

TIA

 

[Buckle]

I remember reading Blanda saying that's one record he hopes someone else takes.

 

[lod2005]

Favre will take that record next year along with most TD passes.

 

[BGP]

Favre will take that record next year along with most TD passes.

Yes. When you throw 413 TDs, 267 INTs doesn't look so bad.

 

[cracKer]

yet he has only 14 more INTs than Johnny Unitas

2 Superbowls, 1 Championship, 3 MVP's, all time completions record, 7 behind Marino for TD tosses...And most importantly, he's a great guy who loves the game, not himself like most arrogant NFL stars..I think us Pack fans will live with the picks...

 

[videoguy505]

8 shy now...

 

[videoguy505]

7 shy...

We don't really have to think too hard about it. We use a handy little thing called addition.4,968 + 268

It's like saying "Candyman" three times.

No one ever talks about Nolan Ryan having the most walks in MLB history, Daddy, I think Favre will still get his diggity do!

Guy needs to retire ASAP.

I would take marino hands down over brett int farve

 

[BigRed]

I thought Tarkenton had the most INTs record.

Then you thought wrong.

You ain't kidding. When there are superstars in the making like Garrard and Carr, there is no reason for one of the greatest ever to stick around and look....BETTER than them.

Trying to find where I posted that those 2 are better than Favre.. Oh yea, I didn't .Favre is hurting that team now. Pretty easy to see

Is this seriously a thread started to try to minimize Brett Favre's career accomplishments? If so, good luck winning that argument. Ridiculous really. Brett Favre is one of the few players that represents everything that is good about the NFL these days If you haven't taken the time to appreciate the heart and dedication he's given to the game of football then it's your loss I guess This thread should be locked immediately for idiocy.

You call it idiocy, yet bring it down another level with this drivelThis is an NFL record that has stood for 31 years.

It deserves attention.

I'm pretty sure there might be a correlation between the consecutive games started by a QB record and the interception record. I guess if you ask a guy to play 255 FRIGGIN GAMES IN A ROW AS A QUARTERBACK IN THE NFL he might have alot of interceptions to go along with his MVP trophys, Super Bowl ring, passing records, etc. Paging the idiocy police? It has become an urgent situation.

I don't think he represents EVERYTHING that is good about the NFL. I seem to recall him calling out Javon Walker publicly last season. That's never a good thing, regardless of how he might have felt about Walker's actions.

This is like saying what LT2 is doing is not important because he's scored multiple TDs in a record 8 consecutive games.

 

[boubucarow]

As a Bears fan, I can only hope we ever get a QB half as good as Favre.

Perhaps not EVERYTHING, but the NFL could sure use more guys with the type of character that Brett, LT, Driver, Holt, etc. have. I really have no use for prima donnas like T.O. and the others. They drive me away from the NFL.

Actually it's like saying that when a QB plays 255 games in a row, he'll probably have more interceptions than any other quarterback in the history of the NFL. And oh yeah, this thread still stinks of idiocy

I would have never stooped to name calling if you hadn't altered one of my posts. I don't really know if that kind of thing goes on around here often but it seems like a pansy-ish thing to do if you ask me. You win, Favre has had a garbage career and can't hold a candle to some of the finest Bears QBs of all-time. And when things get tight in a debate, just change the other guy's posts

 

[Limp Ditka]

I guess it isn't that simple

 

[steviey]

Perhaps before you start one of these ridiculous threads you might consider that Blanda attempted 4,007 passes in his career and Favre has attempted 8,094 to the end of 2005 Please just submit.

Its probably best to say nothing, but if he's going to make it public, at least Favre supported his team, unlike Brady (Branch) and Urlacher (Briggs).

Well, it no longer qualifies as easy. Its approaching down right difficult now.BTW, what does this have to do with the fact he's on the verge of breaking the record?

Limp, everyone one of your posts reek of jealousy..Favre owned you guys in the late 90's to early 2000's. I can see your anger and resentment towards him. But if you were a true fan of the game, you would realize the contributions he's given much like an Elway, Montana, or Payton. The thing I like about Brett is that he's a simple guy. Rides around on his mower and chops wood for fun in the offseason instead of hanging around in night clubs participating in shootings. You just can't say that about a lot of high caliber players anymore. Even one of your own fans admits your team could use a QB half as good as #4. I'm pretty sure I speak for all Packer fans when I say I hope he plays until his arm falls off..
