Favre and the Hall of Fame: What's Your Reaction?

[woodbuck27]

a) Who called that pass pattern? I've always thought that a better play needed to be called on that pick. The play had pick written all over it. Driver needed to come back to the pass for a short gain or shoot up the sideline for a bigger play.

Yeah, it's clearly Driver and McCarthy's fault. I think the sun may have been in Brett's eyes too.

Your sarcasm isn't working here Scott.

Look at the distance between Driver and the Giant (Webster) that makes that pick. How much seperation do you see Scott? Alot? See it Scott? GOOD! Then, are we going to go to the argument that ball was underthrown?

It was pure and simple a poor call as far as 'the route' is concerned. Way too much risk for that pick on that day. The short gain was a better plan.

Actually, if he had only thrown to his left instead of his right...

But guys? This was 2007. Favre retired since then. What is it? 3? 4 times now? Three I think, but who's counting?

You are so right. When ever they run a play there is only one option. Brett was forced to throw to DD.

There was no way for Brett to throw to another receiver, no way to throw it out of bounds.

BTW, if that is your scenario...i guess all those TDs were the result of great playcalling and not Brett.

Brett gets in - no doubt about it. And you know I've been his biggest detractor since he retired.

Right now, he's on my shit-list with a 5 year probationary period from the time that we're actually SURE he's retired. Then, he is allowed back into my heart.

Good post as this is what this thread/poll was about.

Who cares what we think now. In 5 years or so, who's gonna like to see Brett go to Canton as a Packer. This poll was kinda a litmus test as many are unhappy with Brett right now, and can't blame ya after the last few years, but hey, Snake loves all he did overall for the Pack and will be happy to see that silly yellow Blazer on Brett in Canton. That's what it's all about folks.
