It occurs to me that Favre's career is a good illustration of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

You drill in close enough, in a small enough time frame like woodbuck did above from imminent release to winning two games against the Packers, all the details make sense even if you get no sense of the arc of the story.

But if you look with a wider time frame, none of the details add up to the arc.

Brett's career is like a up/down Quark.
