I find it entertaining to listen to Packer fan complain about Favre only winning "ONE" Super Bowl. Greedy Fucks.
and ... your point would be? How many NFL players would cherish that one Super Bowl ring?
That doesn't impress you, I'm guessing.
It's good that you didn't have the names Favre and Dilfer in one sentence in the context that you raise.
and that raises this:
How many total yards did Trent Dilfer pass for? Take Favre's record for total yards and subtract the difference. Impressed!?
Do the same with total receptions;total TD's, total wins; 4th quarter comebacks....
on and on and on it goes ...you get the message. (-:
Impressed or 'in denial'?
Well to be fair let's look at some numbers that the benchwarms put up when off the Packers.
Mark Brunnell 2,761/4,640 32,072 yards 184 TDs 108 INTs 84.0 Rating 15 Rushing TDs 19 seasons
Aaron Brooks 1,673/2,963 20,261 yards 123 TDs 92 INTs 78.5 Rating 13 Rushing TDs 8 seasons
Matt Hasselbeck 2,891/4,797 33,150 yards 194 TDs 142 INTs 82.2 Rating 8 Rudhing TDs 13 seasons
Brett Favre 6,300/10,169 71,838 yards 508 TDs 336 INTs 86.0 Rating 14 Rushing TDs 20 Seasons
Aaron Rodgers 1,381/2,113 17,366 yards 132 TDS 38 INTs 104.1 Rating 16 Rushing TDs 7 seasons
Looking at the numbers the 2 things that jump out are:
1. ARod's 3.47 TDs to INT ratio. No one in the group is even close
2. BF's games played, yardage, TDs and INTs.
Mark Brunnell had 15 rushing touchdowns??? I never would have guessed that. Favre sure had some world class backups.
I think Arod mught have a decent list of backups in the making as well, starting with Flynn.
Hi ThunderDan:
I looked at Aaron Rodgers passing numbers and **averaged them over the past four seasons. Considering he has a long career to age 40 or 11 more seasons.
How do Aaron Rodgers numbers add up? If ** the average of those numbers is extended throughout his career (or 15 years)?
a) Passing attempts = 7695
b) Completions = 5055
c) total yards = 63,735
d) TD's = 495 ( Amazing !)
e) Picks = 135
I realize that's optimistic thinking but those numers are extraordinary.
Have a great weekend Man.
GO PACKERS !
Good Day HowardRoark:
I use an *asteric* (one or more) depended on the need of useage in a particular post... as a form of cross referencing within the post.
That comes from my career as a technical guy. I spent many years in the CANDU Nuclear POWER Industry. I've a Degree in Technolgy Ed. and taught mathematics, statistics and science. I wrote many reports.
It's a habit. (-:
Have a great weekend.
GO PACK GO !
GO PACKERS !
You guys remember MOBB DEEP? Ha.
So then comparing Favre to Marino is like comparing apples to pears.
No kidding right! Wish it was more, but hell it was a fun ride. Arod is going to be a fun ride as well, its just different for me I'm quite a bit older now and well I haven't spent the last decade happy with a .500 record and a chance at the playoffs! Yep I'm spoiled now!
Thats funny. I saw Marino ranked above Favre in this thread.
The reality is those stats boil down to is fun, for us the fans. Plus those stats always meant there was a chance. IMO as Favre got older he got more desperate to get back to the big dance and that reflected in his gut wrenching plays. Rodgers is a different type and might not let his emotions get the best of him as JH has mentioned on here several times.
I disagree, if Rodgers manages to play until he is 38 and still hasn't gotten back to a Super Bowl he will press. It is called fading glory and athletes will do anything and try anything to attain another championship. Look how clutch Favre was in the 1990s, and then he felt he was running out of chances and went on tilt in big games.
If Rodgers doesn't do this it will again reflect my disappointment in him.
Random thoughts on an early Saturday morning and inspired by the above post:
YOU thought whaaaaaaat !? That one of our 'most manly men MOBB DEEP' was whaaaaaaat! A female member ? HOLY COW !
I immediately thought.... that's really something...really amazing. Until I enjoyed another cup of coffee and began to examine it. Suddenly it came to me. Like a flash of light ! One of thos ephanys.

http://mail.yimg.com/nq/mc/1_0_0/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif Ohh yes ! I get you. Well at least I came up with this:
It's rather strange to be posting here for years with the same people and suddenly realize that member isn't a guy ! SURPRIZE ! * That member is 'in fact' a woman.* It's one of those BIG .... WOW FACTORS..... on yaa like a dense fog !
In that particular case I've just realized my error. The poster that I imagined was a male is 'in fact' a male. There was at least one instance when I was cofused. I believed the poster was a man with 'the writing style of the poster' my only way of determining such and 'in fact' the poster was a female.
That has a certain ...Ohh WOW! factor.
On the topic of female posters at Packerrats. SAM JONES LOVE them all:
Women are rather challenged at times and that never seems to end. Especially so in a male oriented and dominated environment. Yet women members here get total satisfaction and eqality... par excellence. Prejudice or male domination...whaaaaaat ?
That 'isn't the case here at Packerrats'. Where membership sexual status is an unknown. Thus never a factor in terms of any respect or honor. Newer members might write 'whatever' to a female member and insult that member and 'the Packerrats lawyer nazi' has a viable defense for the innoscent new member. You don't need to treat (any member for that fact special) and 'a Lady like a Lady' when:
a) sexual status isn't a subject of a members profile.
b) A few of the female posters here act more manly then 95% of the men that even desire to be considered as manly.
