That quote comes courtesy of Richard Chin of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, who adds that Favre also said, "Physically, I don't feel great."
The ego on that guy. He destroys his teams season with one boneheaded choker and still says it's the best season he ever had. It must have been the other Viking players fault that he didn't win the Superbowl like he did in Green Bay.
You have to know that he's sitting there all through the off season, with Lady MacBeth whispering in his ear, thinking that all those fumbles and mistakes by everyone else were the difference in the game.Quote:

Big damn deal. Enjoy what Rodgers can do now and get over all this in fighting about a damn football player.
At least JH is starting to sound human. Someone must have knocked the shit outta him for being an ass. he has had some good posts lately....
That's a classic malapropism. So true, so true.Quote:

Dude's team put up 45 points and dude put up Packer playoff record stats. Favre had average games, at best, when he choked away the 3 playoff games late.Quote:

Good point. Rodgers had some rough spots in his first playoff outing and blew a golden opportunity to win the game and then didn't protect the ball. One can only hope that this will be the exception, not the rule. Since Packer fans just experienced a HOF QB who routinely threw away big playoff games, we would hate to have the next guy do the same thing.
While his plays were poor, I don't think a comparison can be made between Rodgers bad passes and fumble and Favre's choke job. The significance of the stage was massive. It the immortal words of Paul Allen - THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN, THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL.
Rodgers offending play was bad. Favre's offending play was absurdly horrific.
Missing an open receiver on a 40 yd pass is bad, but its not an automatic play under any circumstance. Especially when you have had to step up a yard or two in the pocket under pressure.
The fumble WAS bad, since Rodgers either had taken responsibility for the unblocked man himself OR had called the wrong adjustment.
But even the fumble is not the same as a forced pass, when falling down would have kept your team in the game. No one had robotic control of Favre and made him attempt a bad pass. Rodgers at least was hit, even if he shared the blame.
But we are essentially arguing about the better way to die. I would rather not make that choice. Rodgers has shown the ability to learn from his mistakes. Something an older Favre seemed to stop doing around 1999.
