Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
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.
