OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Zool]

First point, Favre was there two days so I wouldn't say he struggled. They probably shouldn't have even put him out there after a single outdoor practice with the team but he wanted to get his feet wet. He took a few snaps and missed one obvious throw. He missed one on a miscommunication and then on a zero blitz threw it where he expected the reciever to be, Harvin (the reciever) was busy being interfeared with and then broke outside instead of what Favre expected.

Ahem

I didn't want to start a new thread, but are Rodgers and MM taking shots at Favre?

“You can’t help but follow or believe in someone, in my opinion, who’s there 95 percent-plus in the offseason. It’s the same way with anybody else in this room. You feel like you can count on a guy who’s been there since the start of the offseason with you. ... There’s a different attitude when you look at them, knowing you can believe in them.”

- Aaron Rodgers

In his PC on packers.com, around the 8:15 mark, he says:

"Well having a good QB is a big part of success. I think every team in the league is trying to improve their football team, and you never have enough quarterbacks....that part is obvious, how does it all fit together...you know, AR has developed in this offense, and had a successful season last year, and we look for him to build off that. Now how does Culter, and Favre, and those guys in DET, how they fit into their scheme, to me, thats to be seen. Because I don't care how long youve played in the offense, or how well you know somebody, you still have to go out and play the game...you have to go to practice, i mean, there's a reason why we practice, and how you preform thats how we play the game.


You tell em, Mac.

Ahem

At which part? The dude fucks up alot, we all know that. I thought his pass to Tahi was shitty. Look, if I say Aaron Rodgers lost a bunch of games down the stretch and you say the defense was bad, are you making a bunch of excuses for Rodgers or stating the facts?

Look, I was pretty luke warm on this whole plan and I'm still not 100% sold. The guy came in, didn't have any real work with his recievers and missed 3 of 4 passes. I'll put it on Favre for waffling so friggen long, yes. I'll put it on Chilly for puting him in a game after 1 outside practice and 1 inside. I'm not gonna say "what a bunch of shitty throws" because that wasn't what happened.

Does this make any sense Zool?

[Pugger]

I've only seen "highlights" of the MN and KC game but if MN doesn't get that O line of theirs in gear BF won't last until Thanksgiving. Of course that wouldn't break my heart...

Big difference tween kicking in Lambeau and a dome.

Yes there is. Here are Jon Ryans numbers from last week:

Punts (Number-Average) 7 - 49.6 ; Blocked 0 ; Net Punting Average 41.3

What I see is consistency and decent to good numbers.

It kinda sucks to be in a position of defending someone whom you don't necessarily want but still feeling that person deserves some defense.

I'm glad your here Rastak so we'll get some straight up reporting on what Favre really does this season. I agree with you on his damn tendency to waffle as it makes little sense unless he wanted to squeeze out something for himself (some ? there 'of course') as we all know he loves to play.

Yes. You make any team 'in practise' not based on reputation. You have to be an integral part of 'the team'.

[Freak Out]

Has Chilly named Favre the week one starter yet? If not that means it still could be Jackson or Rosencrapper correct? If Favre stinks it up the rest of the pre season and Jackson rocks then one would assume he gets the nod correct? Prolly not a bad idea to give him more time to work and get football ready and when Jackson folds you bring him in to save the day......of course Favre wouldn't do that because of the streak.

There's too much tied up in Brett Favre now for any thoughts that he won't start game one. Yes. That streak is huge. An amazing record to hold.

Missed the point. There is no point in bemoaning the packers not giving him a longer leash, as his #s in seattle aren't relevant. Not relevant in the preseason, not relevant in the season, and not relevant in the post season.

Until ryan proves he can kick in lambeau or any other cold weather city without a dome his stats mean nothing.

Point well taken Tyrone Bigguns.

[MOBB DEEP]

Will Brett rise to the ocassion on MNF or shrink under the pressure to redeem himself for his somewhat-paltry play vs KC?
