Favre MADE receivers like Freeman and Schroeder look like Pro Bowlers...when in fact they would've been no better than #2/#3 receivers elsewhere, which they quickly found out when they left town. I pin the blame for the SB32 loss more on the defense.

That said, I'm damn glad we have Rodgers...who IMO is the 2nd best QB in the league to Brady right now. Manning's lack of mobility is a major hindrance that knocks him down a notch IMO. Brees doesn't have the accuracy Rodgers has. Rodgers will have the Packers knocking on the door every year for the next 8+ years. He's that good.
Your overall point that Favre did not have great WR's is correct. Ron Wolf has said he wishes he had gotten Favre better receivers. However, Jordy Nelson was not a better receiver than Robert Brooks, and probably not better than Freeman, although time will tell on that one.
