NFC North QB Race 2009

[Smidgeon]

After week 12

1. Favre 112.1 (Another masterpiece)
2. Rodgers 104.9 (3rd best in NFL)
3. Cutler 74.4 (Vikes had the ball 40 minutes to 20)
4. Stafford 62.4 (Rookie or not, that is bad)

Do you find it weird having to cheer for the old man?

I mean, of course winning erases everything, but he was the hated rival for years. I'm sure 99% of the Vikings fans I could ask would tell me it doesn't matter and that it's all about now. But I feel like you might give a better answer(if there is one).

Does the magnitude(or lack thereof) of the ending of Favre's story write him as a Viking hero and savior?

Hollywood must be licking at their chops with the all the posibilities of a drama like this. A better movie could not be written. I'm excited for the climax of this story. How can it get any better? Maybe that is right up Hollywood's alley. A great story with a lackluster ending.

I'm used it now but it was pretty damn odd at first, I'll give ya that. I was luke warm on the idea all summer but was warming towards it when he said he was staying retired. So then it was a little disappointment as I had talked myself into believing it was a good move.

When he showed up it was just pain odd rooting for the guy, but he was a year removed from Green bay which helped the transition from a fans perspective. There are still some Viking fans that hate the guy, which is pretty stupid IMHO. It's like had the Packers signed Moss. There would have been a few die hards in Green bay not liking the guy but once he started hauling in passes it would be all good. It's the nature of being a fan.

It's also a well-known psychological process that everyone goes through called "cognitive dissonance". It's where you have an internal conflict about something (hating Favre and loving the Vikings) that can't stay in conflict because they go hand in hand (Favre is a Viking). Therefore, since you prioritize being a fan of the Vikings first, the lesser of the two (hating Favre) dissipates and you come to find yourself cheering for him (good ol' Psych 280).

Haha I'm a Psych major. I don't think you could have used a better example for cognitive dissonance if you tried.

It happens in sports all the time: coming to cheer for a former hated rival (or want a former hated rival to join the team -- *cough*RandyMoss*cough*), coming around to liking a draft pick because you really want him to succeed even though you were disappointed at first, etc.

4. Stafford 62.4 (Rookie or not, that is bad)

Absolutely incredible. Who would have thought that with Rodgers sitting at 104.9 that Favre would be outperforming him? The last 5 games will be very interesting to see. I don't see Favre dropping off this year (as he is in a dome mostly, no freezing weather) and he is playing the system.

[ThunderDan]

I hope that this works OK. Hot Clicks at SI has this wonderful song about Bear's QBs on their site.

And I felt some of those others should have been caught.


Now you sound just like Bert.

Look at you Scott. Just one of those here, that's just waiting, to RAM one up Favre's. Just waiting and waiting and waiting and ..... :D

The prediction of failure from one that will end up like all of us. WORMS.

[Rastak]

After week 13

1. Favre 108.5 (Still on top, not his best game)
2. Rodgers 103.3 (Little off last night, got the job done)
3. Cutler 75.3 (Beats the lowly Lions)
4. Stafford 61.0 (This is just terrible)

It isn't a blueprint until it's repeated. If it happens again, then there's a problem. There's still a chance it was a one game anomaly.

Much of the world is waiting for Favre to get what he's got coming.

Favre acknowledges his well earned reputation for choking in December:


"I'm sure people are saying - you guys may have already said it - 'Well, here we go. Now, it's December,'" the quarterback said.

Good chance that Mike Zimmer is cooking up something for him. They *could* be in for a rough day against Cincy. The game is in the humpty dump, though, where Brett's been fairly comfy.

I kinda doubt Carolina can pull off the confusion necessary.

In Chicago, the biggest factor will be the weather.

NYG is another team that can potentially get after him but it is a home game and their secondary is in rough shape at the moment. Also a chance that Bert might not have to play much here.

I think the most difficult challenge facing Brent is the fact that AP seems to have gone south. Haven't watched any games to know why, but his production is down with a career low last week. IF AP continues to have problems, Biff is going to start thinking he needs to start slinging it. When he hits that mindset - the Vikings are doomed.

[mraynrand]

In Chicago, the biggest factor will be the weather.


BBBBBRRRRRRrrrrrrrr........I'M COLD!!!!!!!

http://graphics2.jsonline.com/graphics/packer/img/rev/dec04/10_1219.jpg


But seriously, Chicago is so bad, I bet the Vikings could beat them if they ran the ball every single down. But maybe Favre willl throw a pick or two just to keep it interesting!

[Rastak]

After week 14

1. Favre 106 (Not super sharp but played a solid game)
2. Rodgers 102.5 (Gets the win)
3. Cutler 75.2 (3rd place to stay)
4. Stafford 61.0 (Will he play again this year)

[Maxie the Taxi]

I thought it was interesting that Favre made a point of telling people in his press conference after the game that he's "not fading in December like people say I do."

Anyone that thinks Favre doesn't read his own press clippings and pay attention to the rumors swirling about him is dead wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if he reads PackerRats.

:lol:

Favre has 3 TD's and 4 INT's in the last 3 games after throwing 24 TD's and only 3 INT's the first 11 games. He hasn't had a rating higher than 79 in any of those games. A cold game at night at Chicago is the perfect ingredient for a sub 100 QB rating for Favre. Make it happen Brett!

Damn I'm still bummed though. We were going to win the division at 12-4 as the Vikes will lose out.

[MOBB DEEP]

does anyone know favres career best qb rating for a season?

[Scott Campbell]

I have an idea for a thread. I'd like to call it "Bert and Chilly - A Love Story In Pictures". But I think it's against the rules. Would it piss some people off? Yeah, I guess. But it sure would be fun.

[RashanGary]

Single season, Aaron Rodgers is on pace to possibly have:

More Yards
A better QB rating
and
Less interceptions


Than Brett Favre has ever had in his 18 year career.


If Rodgers finishes on an 11-5 team, Favre will only have surpassed that win total 6 times in his 18 year career!! And this Packer team is just getting started!!





I think it's fair to say we don't miss Brent Farce like the doom and gloomers predicted we would!!






And he did it with maybe as bad or worse of an OL than anything Brent has played with. Oh yeah, and he did it without being a trouble making whining diva, which is probably be best stat of all.

[mraynrand]

SportsCenter devoted about 5 minutes to this tonight while I was having some pho. The sound wasn't loud enough in the restaurant, but they showed the argument, Favre's presser, Chilly's presser and a lovely graphic broken down by season, comparing Favre's passer ratings December vs. the rest of the season. It was beautiful to watch...

[Gunakor]

Oh yeah, and he did it without being a trouble making whining diva, which is probably be best stat of all.

Favre won 3 MVP's and a Super Bowl ring without being a whiny trouble making diva. It was that success (coupled with a few other things) that turned a team oriented championship caliber quarterback into a whiny, selfish, championship caliber diva.

Rodgers has a whole career full of unwritten successes in front of him yet, and could end up following that same path if that success goes to his head the way it did Favre's. So if you're going to call this one the way you have, be warned that while Favre's story is nearly complete, Rodgers' story is just getting started. For now let's just enjoy the success that our team has while Aaron is our quarterback without taking even more shots at the last guy who ran the show.

2. Rodgers 102.4 (dramatic loss)
3. Cutler 71.1 (major disappointment)
4. Stafford 61.0 (Will he play again this year)

There has to be some major flaws in how the QB rating is calculated. I know in prior discussions it was noted that it heavily emphasizes completion percentage which favors dink and dunk offenses but I find it hard to believe that Rodgers goes 26/48 for 383 yds, 3 TD's and no INT's and yet still sees his rating drop slightly.

The yardage, TD's and lack of a turnover should greatly trump a higher completion percentage (which for Rodgers was hamped by the drops and the fact that we're more of a vertical passing game).

No Mobb, it's not that at all. It's just getting old. This has been going on for 2 whole seasons now. The Packers are about to finish a season 4 or 5 games over .500 and play a football game or two in January. They are a perfect Ben Rothlisberger throw as time expired from being on a 6 game winning streak. All without your Lord Favre. So life goes on. The team will be fine without him. Seeing how that's been established now, I really see no need for the constant bickering and sniping to continue. Favre has earned and continues to earn all disrespect and hatred he's due, but since there's about to be January football for the Green Bay Packers I don't see how any of that is relevant on THIS board.

Furthermore, I didn't say what I said in response to JH's post just so that the pro-Favre crowd could take shots at the opposition. I don't agree with you either, and I find the bolded portion of your post above to be both ignorant and inflammatory.

And I fully expect the media and retarded fans to make a big deal out of it. But seriously, it was no deal at all this year so why would next year? They won from the beginning and improved their record from last year. I will wonder if he is coming back though.

And that's why they play the games. As a Packer fan, I can think of few things so pleasing as watching a 6 interception performance on the carpet, similar to one that I watched in horror several years ago in the Edward Jones dome.

This time, I think I would fully enjoy the irony. And, with hundreds of games as a backup, you just never know when those "Favre Clunkers" will come. All of the sudden, BAM, there it is.... :P

Favre's highest rating ever in GB was 99.5
:cry:

I guess he likes playing indoors.

No two ways about it, an outstanding year throwing the ball by Favre. For his years as a starter:

- Highest QB rating of his career
- Highest completion % of his career (68.4%, previous high was 66.5% in 2007).
- Lowest # of interceptions by a mile (7, previously 13).
- Lowest interception % by nearly half (1.3%, previously 2.3%)
- Tied for 4th highest TD total for a season.
- Most TDs passing since he had 35 in 1997.
- 6th highest TD % of his career.
- Fewest fumbles(2) while being sacked 34 times. Previous best was 4 in a 12 sack season; and

- most tackles (1) since 2005 (2)! :lol:

(should I mention beating the Packers for the first time ever??)

I guess unlike Wolf, Sherman, and TT, The Vikings went out and spent the kind of money necessary and surrounded Favre with the talent he needed to win.

Do you think Brett will bring Chilly back?

Brett announced that a decision will not be made until after the season. Following the final game he will sit down with the owner (and other top brass) and shortly after the meeting Brett will make public his decision on who will coach the Vikings next season.

Yeah all those guys they picked up after Favre. They really went out and built a team around him.

Amazing.

Numbers are off, according to NFL.COM official stats.

Here is what they have for the final numbers for QB Rating:

Favre - 107.2 (Second in the NFL only to Drew Brees)
Rodgers - 103.2 (only the second QB in packers history to post a 100+ rating)
Cutler - 76.8 (last two games gave him a nice boost. Hopefully not a sign of whats to come next season)
Stafford - 61.0 - Still to early to tell if he's the answer or not. Horrible team around him.

I wonder if they were cached in my browser or something.

That 107 is amazing.

[Guiness]

As is the 103 - no flies on that either. Amazing seasons by both.

Has anyone had back to back HOF QB's since Montana-Young? :twisted: :twisted:

Jackson's going in the same year as 'Chris' Everette, right?

That is solid reporting there Packgator. Thanks.

Does this happen before or after Favre drops his Wranglers and they lick his anus?
