Favre Deal Done?

[Scott Campbell]

A chilled out Brett Favre and with a focus on just execution is scary for opposaing teams.

They weren't interceptions. THe WR's ran the wrong routes on every single one of those.

I really get a kick out of this shit. Why don't you compare Favres carrer playoff stats with other "great QB's" His numbers aren't all that bad. His numbers are comparable or better than some of the big time winners like Bradshaw, Staubach, Elway, Aikman, so get off it already. Brady, Starr, and Montana were decidedly better in the post season and Montana only with the help of one spectacular run with 11 tds and 0 ints....Point is Favre's playoff numbers stack up with most QB's They just hurt you more, because your a Packer fan! Pretty sorry group of people that just want to bash, one of the top 3-4 Packer players of all time.

Right, like those beautiful games against the Falcons and Rams? ? ?

I think Favre is a top 10 QB, but his boneheaded play, especially in games that mattered, is what keeps him out of the top 5 for me.

And I would have told you that in late 2007, when I was still pretty high on him.

Statistically, Favre and Manning are identical in the playoffs. Stats are eerily similar, as I did a deep comparison, and both have had a hard time winning big games.

Yet Peyton is the best QB ever, and Favre is just yesterday's news.

I think it would be far more interesting to statistically compare old Brett against young Brett. I suspect he played far better pre 2001 than post 2001.

That has nothing to do with it.

Woody claims we should "fear" Brett Favre, or that he's somehow "scary". My point is that I don't think we need to fear him nearly as much as the Vikings should.

It couldn't be that Peyton still has a few years to go while Favre is 40. Nah, it has to be people just bashing Favre becuase they hate him.

Manning isn't exactly young anymore. The odds of him winning another one with the young talent in the AFC isn't great imo. Especially with Brady and that sick offense back.

No, but he has more years left than Favre does(barring serious injury of course). He will have more chances to win another one than Favre will.

The first part of this is fair. Their numbers may be comparable. However, I don't think Manning is close to the best QB ever, and a lot of it has to do with his playoff failures. Outside of one year, his playoff record is poor. Favre has had more misses than hits in his playoff career also. I may end up ranking Manning higher, if he doesn't drop off completely. His numbers compare very favorably to Favre in the regular season.

64.4 completion %, 7.7 yards/attempt, 333 TDs, 165 interceptions (2.02 TD/int rate)

61.6 completion %, 7.0 yards/attempts, 464 TDs, 310 interceptions (1.50 TD/int rate)

If Manning continues what he's doing, I'd put those two (plus Marino) on the edge of the top 5. It will probably go Manning, Favre, Marino.

Please post it, I'd love to look at it.

Favre (22 games):
Cmp Att Yds TD Int Y/A Cmp% Rate
438 721 5311 39 28 7.4 60.7 85.2

Manning (15 games):
Cmp Att Yds TD Int Y/A Cmp% Rate
348 564 4208 22 17 7.5 61.7 85.0

This is not a "deep comparison," however, just a ten-second google search with cut-and-paste options enabled. :P

I think I've done more than this too, but this took more than enough digging to find.

Not really. I'll take 3-6 over 0-0 any day. Furthermore, they're called the playoffs because the best teams play. 11/12 of the teams in the playoffs lose a game annually, ya know.

Take out the two horrendous performances and the numbers are not very bad at all.

How many times would we have been in the playoffs with a lesser quarterback to lose those games?!? Nobody is itching to throw Romo out despite being 0-2!

hmmm... Almost identical stats... Funny how when Favre was on a bad team in recent years, and Peyton was on a bad team in the early years things managed to work out almost evenly.

Accept Favre managed to win some playoff games. His stats would be even better if the first round bye didn't exist!

Both quarterbacks are considered old in quarterback years. Would you not take Peyton Manning over A-Rod either, despite virtually identical # of playoff games per year, and 1.3% less turnovers per game?!? Both are .500 in conference championship games as well. Favre has a better winning percentage in the playoffs, though.
