OFFICIAL Favre/Rodgers Comparison Thread

it doesn't mean he still won't be held accountable for this situation 3 years from now and it still won't mean he won't lose his job three years from now directly from this "Summer of Favre".

ok, ya, I agree with this. If the Favrendectomy turns into a fiasco, it could lead to a shake-up down the road, but only if the team struggles for two or more years.

That only depends on how long Favre sticks around with the Jets. If he's there and performs well for more than one year (which he hasn't committed to) And Rodgers sucks toe cheese fans might get up in arms, but the reality of it is that management knows that the Rodgers experiment would have proceeded eventually Favre or no Favre, it just would have been the same QB two years later. So while the fans might be carrying torches and pitchforks, I think management knows that Rodgers was going to happen anyway.

[ahaha]

One thing I'll miss from Favre's skill set is his extroadinary pump fake. Those big hands give him an advantage in grip. How many times did Favre get a free rushing d-lineman to jump in the air with his pump fake, only to loft it over his head for a completion?

These past 16 years have been the most consistent of any time in Green Bay. Sure the 60s had a hell of a lot more championships but they couldn't maintain.

You lost me with this one. The 60's were plenty consistent.

what happened after 1967? No more championships and very few playoff appearances until 1993.

Well it's still consistency...just consistent in the wrong direction...

These past 16 years have been the most consistent of any time in Green Bay. Sure the 60s had a hell of a lot more championships but they couldn't maintain. The Packers have had one losing season in 16 years, and all but one of those seasons was salary cap free. It has been an amazing run, but now the last piece of the beginning of the dynasty is gone. For some I don't think they realize this.

Could this be the continuation of the same dynasty, or a brand new one? Well for some their is a lot of fear that the glory of the Packers under Brett Favre, Reggie White, Mike Holmgren, Ron Wolf, Ahman Green, and many more is more over than continuing. One last nail in the coffin.

a sequence of rulers from the same family, stock, or group: the Ming dynasty

.

If anything the dynasty endd when wolf left.

But, in order to have a dynasty..you need to pass the torch. You can't have one with only one qb. That is why the pack never were a dynasty like the Niners.

But, if you consider being pretty average for a number of years a dynasty..good for you.

Before free agency I would agree with you 16 years with only one losing season and two seasons with a .500 record would be considered average. With the addition of free agency in the early 90s franchises such as the 49ers and Dallas have completely floundered for several years after their glory years, mean while the Packers organization has given their fans a competitive team for 15 out of 16 years. Is that a dynasty, I say so, you can argue for whatever sake you care, so you can just have something to argue about.

Who cares what the fans think? Many are emotional and blinded.

Exactly...

So, why are you posting here again????

Re: OFFICIAL Favre/Rodgers Comparison Thread

I missed the official thread bonanza last week so I thought I would start my own.

Since the games are starting and I KNOW some poeple are dying to point out how "their" guy is outperfoming the "other" guy I thought I would make a thread for it. So please, all of the I told you so's from both sides try and keep it to one thread.

I'll start: JT O'Sullivan looked better than arod last week, we should have kept him and not drafted a QB. [/b]

I just happened to see this thread and I know you are joking, but of all the projected starting QB's, it's hard to think of a worse starting QB in all the NFL (not just this year, but in the last couple). JT O'Sullivan...damn I'd take Kyle Orton over him, not by a lot as they both are putrid, but just saying....good post...as I'm starting a topic on this, but good read Bobble.

Simply, if Favre excels in New York and Rodgers and the Packers fail, the Packer franchise will be turned on its head. People will completely lose faith with the front office and coaching staff. Their will be no light at the end of tunnel.

you wish.

The franchise won't be turned on its head. Some fans will be throwing fits, but so what. The GM and Coaches are not on a short leash, they are judged by their longterm track record.

I am not hoping for the Packers to lose, I hope they win and McCarthy and Thompson do a great job. That is not the point, the point is after this Favre situation Thompson is going to be on a short leash from the fans, maybe not Murphy and the board, but even if he does a decent job it doesn't mean he still won't be held accountable for this situation 3 years from now and it still won't mean he won't lose his job three years from now directly from this "Summer of Favre".

BINGO...!
