Official Favre vs. Rodgers Statistical Analysis 2008 Thread

[SnakeLH2006]

Thought it would be fun to make a thread comparing their stats this season as it's such a heated topic.

Week 1: Favre:

194 yards 68.2% 2 TD's 0 INT 125.9 Rating 1 Win

Week 1: Rodgers:

178 yards 81.8% 1 TD's 0 INT 115.5 Rating 1 Win

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My guess for overall statistical analysis is this

Favre:

3500 yards 63% 24 TD's 18 INT 84 Rating 10 Wins

Rodgers:

3350 yards 65% 23 TD's 16 INT 85 Rating 11 Wins


Post your own as this will be fun to look at all season as I didn't use a QB rating formula with those stats, but I'm sure they will have similar numbers and wins. Good stuff here!!

how many Brett the Jet threads do we need?

This is a Packer thread. If you don't want to contribute, then don't. I'm a big Arod fan and think he'll do well. It's all about stats, not egos. Fun thread, don't stomp on it.

I guess the Favre vrs. Rodgers game is inevitable. Tony Kornheiser seems pretty excited about it.

There is nothing wrong with your poll, I'm just a bit irritable on the topic.

It's all good as Kornheiser can make a sane man irritable. I've got many hardcore Packer buddies so split on this topic it's nuts. I wish the best to both (even the Favre haters can hope for his best as that means we get a better draft pick). I think they both do well and picked Arod for a better rating and wins, but not by much.

Brett's kinda the Nolan Ryan of QB's (but many forgot about Warren Moon....as he put up amazing numbers as an old QB, much less as a black QB when it was rare...he was pretty damn good). My guess is Favre plays one more year as he'll be at 269 for consecutive games played for any NFL position after 2008 if he makes it through the year......as L. Marshall has the record at 270 for any player, so Brett needs to play at 40 to get that record.

As much as I love seeing him play (fun as hell watching him last week having fun vs. the Dolphins) he loves his stats though he'd never admit it. I guaran-damn-tee he plays in 2009 to put up some crazy all-time numbers in career QB numbers (Peyton is slowing down and Brady is hurt) cuz his ego is HUGE (nothing wrong with that, Jordan had one too) and he'll get the all-time starting streak record of any postition as a QB!! WTF? That shit is just nuts.

I love Brett, but I'm really growing with Arod as that was best for us I guess (hard to say but it's looking pretty good) but this thread is not about their egos or ours, just pure stats. I think Arod barely edges Brett this year in rating and wins. End post.

Well, "quarterback rating" has never been Brett's forte, even in his best years his QB rating wasn't particularly high. If Rodgers lives up to the "high percentage passer, no mistakes, game manager" reputation he'll easily beat Favre in QB rating, since "gunslinger" and "high QB rating" don't go hand in hand.

Also since the Packers are a better team than the Jets, Rodgers will have more wins.

isn't the real question who will win the superbowl when they meet?

You CAN'T say shit like that. This board will implode with nonsense like that! OK, It's fucking early, it's possible.

This thread is about QB stats and wins THIS year, but I guess I have to rehash some stats even though I think 24 year old Arod beats out 39 year Brettie Jettie this year. Brett's QB ratings did correspond to some of his best years or maybe ESPN lies (fuck those liars) LOL, Please get back on topic though, but here goes.

What a great idea for a thread.

Can't we just let Rodgers play and rise/fall on his own merits while Brett does his thing in NY?

Guess not.

[Lurker64]

Those aren't exceptional numbers, really anything short of three digits is not an exceptional number. Manning was 121.1, 104.1, 101.1 in 2004-2007 (winning an MVP in only one of those years). Brady was 117.2 last year. Donovan McNabb managed 104.7 in 2004. Daunte Culpepper was 110.9 in 2004. Chad Pennington was 104.2 in 2002. Drew Brees was 104.8 in 2004. Ben Roethlisberger was 104.1 in 2007. Carson Palmer was 101.1 in 2005. Vinnie Testaverde was 101.6 in 1998. Kurt Warner was 109.2 in 1999 and 101.4 in 2001. I can go on like this... With the exception of Brady and Manning, none of these guys are in Favre's league, yet they've all cracked three digits for a season and Favre never has. QB rating is not Favre's strong point.

Scores like 92-95 are not exceptional QB ratings. Guys like Trent Green (2004) and Matt Hasselbeck (2005), Marc Bulger (2006), Daunte Culpepper (2000, 2003), Drew Brees (96.2), Ben Roethlisberger (2004-2005), Brian Griese (2004), and Kurt Warner (2000) get these numbers in years where they don't sniff MVP honors or the superbowl.

QB rating was never Favre's strength, he would regularly have a lower rating than other QBs who had inferior seasons.

Yes. From a posting standpoint.

I'm sure you're a strapping nice, young man but you just press all my annoyance buttons like every day.

The late night used to be mine (and Lurkers) to kind of rumble through posts ... now it's just a barrage of the Snake and Brett Favre Official threads bumps and rants.
