OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[ThunderDan]

I don`t believe that when Brett Favre is selected as a first ballot HOFer he`ll be remembered for those very poor outings.

What rings strange to me is why would anyone ... moreso ... a Green Bay Packer fan? It`s crap like that that always burns my ass as a Packer fan viewing other Packer fans.

It`s stuff like that that spells it out clearly. `

That if Brett Favre ever seriously considered any attention or offer to consider a return to the Green Bay Packers. He`d be sadly mistaken in terms of any gratitude on behalf of those Packer fans that for the most part hold no sense of real appreciation for all he gave to the Green Bay Packers as the dedicated and resilient QB and competitor that he was.

I doubt he'll be remembered for those games either. That isn't what I said. Rutnstrut said "Favre at his worst is better than Wallace at his best." I picked two games I clearly remember as a Packer fan where Favre played like crap. Yes even HOF QBs are going to have crap games. ARod had one a couple of weeks ago. I will remember that also.

Yes I have a good memory and instead of "Creating the Myth" that is BF I will remember who he really was, both the good and the bad. I will remember the Super Bowl win and then the Super Bowl loss the next year. I will remember the OAK game after his dad died and the 2007 playoff game against the Giants. I will remember that GB had a chance to win any game that BF started. I will remember all the come from behind fourth quarter victories and all the fourth quarter INTs that sealed a loss.

When BF goes into the HOF he will be remembered as having the most wins, yards and TDs of any QB. He will be remebered for 3 MVPs in a row and a Super Bowl victory. He will be remembered as an Iron Man.

He will also be remebered by having the most INTs of any QB and how he left GB.

That is who BF is.

nicely put TD

Yup. I misunderstood your position and former response.

Good return response ThunderDan. I remember all of those times as well and many many more. Brett Favre is hardly any Pro athlete that a fan could forget easily.

OK I'll bite.

Seneca Wallace (since 2010) or Brett Favre (2010) = a toss up ?

Nope. I'd take Brett Favre yesterday over Seneca Wallace today.

Let's see how we all feel come next Sunday evening. The Packers are going to have to fight for their collective lives to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles with Seneca Wallace under center. This next game will be a true measure of the strength and depth of our team.

Incidently some favourable good news. Vegas has us as early week 1.5 point favourites over the Eagles.

GO PACKERS !

For me, it has nothing to do with Seneca Wallace. Even if Wallace is terrible, I don't want Brett Favre back. My recollection is he was not very good in 2010. As Red mentioned, there was much talk about whether he should be benched, and if the Vikings would end his streak in that way.

Now, he is three years older.

I remember Johnny Unitas trying to play a final year with the Chargers, and Willie Mays playing a final year with the Mets. It was sad watching formerly great players who had deteriorated so much. Neither belonged in their game anymore. I'm not a big Favre supporter, but I also have no interest in seeing him embarass himself or the team.

I would rather see what Scott Tolzien can do.

We're all freaking out because Seneca Wallace didn't look very good, but neither did Matty Flynn when he came in against Detroit in 2010. But the next week he looked better.

I think Seneca Wallace is a back up because he's not that good, and we've been spoiled, so for Packer fans he looked awful. But he'll be better this week.

No back up is going to satisfy a Packer fan, because Packer fans have gotten used to superior QB play over the past twenty years.

or halfway somewhere in Favre's posterior

HAHAHAHAHA

I too think we'll see better play from Wallace on Sunday. All we need Seneca to do is get us thru these next 4 games with a couple of wins. If we can play .500 ball until Rodgers returns we'll be okay.

I get four games early Sunday but not Philly @ Green Bay; so I'll likely go to NFL.Com for the feel of this game. With Detroit @ Chicago. How huge is this game for our teams playoff hopes?

HUGE !!

As Packer fans we need to see an entire team effort ... a gritty performance and an excellent game plan and with Seneca Wallace's arm as we saw it this week; that takes away any deep routes. This has to be Seneca Wallace's time as an NFL QB. MM has to go to our strength and use his horses...his RB's. Right now our depth chart at RB shows:

RB - 1. Eddie Lacy 2. James Starks 3. Johnathan Franklin

Over the next four games these three men have to remain healthy/active. For any chance our running game must stand up. We need to get men back off injury and some luck on that front in terms of less heat there. The injuries have ben cruel to us.

GO PACKERS !

Call Favre..........................not now, but RIGHT NOW!! Geez!

[Rutnstrut]

Pretty sure even a 44 year old Favre would have lasted longer than Wallace.

It's time for a longer look at Scott Tolzien.

MM has to start him at New York next week.

Absolutely, I'm not lobbying for Favre. Just adding to the argument that Favre even now is still better than Wallace.

[denverYooper]

Tolzien is the new Favre. It's just too damn bad he didn't rally the team to a 4th quarter comeback. That would have been some shit.

he would have had to keep his team in the game for him to be able to attempt a comeback

Sure. A guy who is 44 years old, hasn't played a game in 3 years, and the last time I remember seeing him on the field, was playing the worst football of his career.

How many QB's are playing in the league that are 40+, even as a back-up? No disrespect to Mr. Favre, but even he knows the game has passed him by.
