Favre TD Videos

[th87]

Amazing stuff.

I was trying to analyze how Favre's game has changed over the years. Like Snake said, he doesn't use his footwork as much, but it looks like his motion is more precise. However, his throwing motion looks like he winds up before he uncorks it now. I'm sure this has probably affected his range of accuracy a bit.

2) Sterling Sharpe still is one my fav. players EVER. Seeing all those Sharpe TD's/catches makes Snake wonder what if? What if Sharpe never got hurt? He was what, 28-29 when he had to retire at 550 or so catches? He would have been a lock for the HOF in 3 more years and prob. coulda played till he was 38 with his type of game. Shifty ass speed, but incredible body control. He reminds me of Terrell Owens without the BS with better hands. Just imagine what Sharpe could have done to the WR records over a FULL career? Prob. my fav. Packer player of all-time outside of Brett as a player. Just an amazing beast of a player.

I have said it b4 and will say it again. If it wasn't for Sterlings career ending early, people would be asking "Jerry Rice? ... Who is Jerry Rice?"

I saw Sterling before one of the preseason games last year. Cat is fat now.

I reminder just about all of them. He took his helmet off a lot in his younger days. Sterling Sharpe was REALLY good (he seemed to catch all of the TD passes) and Brett had a gun.

1992 favorites

1) Career TD #2 - The GW against Cincinnati
2) Career TD #11 - Favre to Sharpe on the bomb. Love the ball fake.
3) Career TD #3 - Pump fake to Sharpe. Sharpe beat a Hall of Famer on that one.
4) Career TD #13 - because it was funny to see Sharpe frolick in the snow.

I guess I don't have time to go through all of them.

Yea you can definitely waste a lot of time going through these.

Does anyone else remember, did TBS or TNT used to do Sunday night games? In one of the videos, 94 or 95 I think, the Packers are playing at Jacksonville. I am about 99% sure it was a Sunday night game on TNT.

TNT used to do Sunday night games. TNT did like the frst 8, ESPN did the last 8. The most memorable game for the Packers was against JOhn Elway and the Broncos. THe Packers built a 30-7 lead only to see Elway cut it to 30-27 before Reggie White got back to back sacks to seal the win.

Who the fuck cares? He's 43 or 44 now? He's chunky? What's your point? How the fuck does that matter about his prime when he had to retire 13 years ago? Go watch Pros vs. Joes or something. Damn. Everybody gets fat at one point. I'm now 29 and in good shape, and Partial is what 24 and fat? So what if Sharpe is chunky in his 40's? Jesus.

Kinda but no...At 27-28 whenever he had to retire... Sharpe had 550 catches and was in the midst of his routine 100 catch prime with a prime MVP Brett.

Nobody would forget Rice, but Sharpe over 17-20 more years would have had prob. 1500 catches in an easier WR era than Rice's earlier era as it was just getting easier for WR's to catch balls. Sharpe would have went down as at least the 2nd best WR ever. Anyone who remembers him, remembers he just B.E.A.S.T.E.D. hardcore. Hard to say if he'd ever better Rice..prob. not, but he'd at least put up similar numbers given he was pretty young and so awesomely AWESOME when he had to retire at 28. Rice played till he was 42...and was great for many seasons, but some say Sharpe was better than Rice in the same years they put up numbers.

Just know this. We won our 1 1990's SuperBowl just after Sharpe went down. Imagine him with that O and D in the mid to late 90's. We would have won more games and gone to more SuperBowls and prob. won more. Sharpe would have been the best player on the best team in the late 90's...prob. a few more SB wins. But then, again...what if?

Dude was easily arguably one of the top 10 talents of the 90's (given a career cut short) but easily one of the top 5 playmakers in all the NFL at his peak at that time...

For those too young to remember...Snake hate's feeling old at 29 but how can you forget what a threat Sharpe was?...dude was our "any play could be a TD before Favre".....kinda "like a freight train baby"....Umm...in one word...YES:

Dude, get bent. I was just making an observation. Sterling Sharpe is wicked cool and I got him to sign his rookie card with an awesome silver pen was I was just a little dude.

Somehow I have a feeling you'd make Partial look like a bodybuilder anyway...your forum persona is definitely covering up something...

It could also be said that we spread the ball around better after Sharpe left the team. Maybe he held us back being so one dimensional in the passing attack.

I can't say for sure because SF and Rice won SB after SB.

Obviously Sharpe would not have made anyone forget Rice, but if Sharpe had been able to play with Favre for another 7-10 years, I have little doubt Sharpe would make the HOF. Sharpe and Michael Irvin came into the league the same year, and Sharpe's 7 year numbers far outpaced Irvin's over that same time frame. Sharpe's seven year numbers compared well to Rice's first seven years, although Rice had a distinct advantage in TDs.

As for Favre involving others more after Sharpe retired, it is true, but that may have happened anyway as Favre matured. Teaming Sharpe with any of the others who came after would have made for a tremendous receiving corp, and everyone's numbers, including Favre's may have benefited.

I remember reading an SI article years ago - it was about Favre's formative years. Holmgren pretty much built the passing offense early in Favre's career around simple routes to Sharpe. Sharpe was so strong he could run the slant and take the ball away from any defender better than anyone else, so he was the perfect target. Lots of curls and slants - safe stuff. Short stuff. I think I remember Holmgren saying that he felt like, in Favre's first season as a starter, Holmgren called almost 90% of pass plays for Sharpe. Plus, apparently, Sharpe was apparently very demanding - he wanted the ball passed to him, all the time.

So it's hard to say what would've happened. But the article also mentioned that Sharpe was Favre's safety blanket. And it makes me wonder if that experience shaped Favre's attitude toward receivers - he seems to like one guy that he trusts and will force the ball to.
