Favre v. Rodgers

[Pugger]

Now I truly know why I hate this fucking place. You guys can't even answer a poll question correctly.

Which quarterback out of the three never missed a start because he could take a hit like a man? I though only preadolescent children break their collarbones.

I know you all are mostly incompetent yokels, and can't consider the fact on how offenses have change over the past 15 years, and how the Packers now run a spread offense that provides huge running lanes for the qb. Maybe that has something to do with it? Ya think!

Overall athleticism isn't even close. Favre was the superior athlete to Rodgers. Hard for the lot of you to comprehend but there is a website called YouTube that has 100s of Favre's highlights.

Evidently you never broke a bone in your body. Preadolescent indeed. Sorry if your hero isn't winning this silly poll. He's gonna be a first ballot HOFer. He is a legend and helped resurrect this franchise from the dregs of the 70s and 80s. However, if Favre were playing today I can think of at least one instance where his streak would have been in jeopardy because of the change in concussion protocol. You did hear Bret is having memory issues. Does that make him more of a man? I also disagree that Favre was the superior athlete. I can't think of a throw Bret made that Aaron can't and Bret didn't have Aaron's running ability. If I had to choose between Favre and Rodgers to be my starter in a big game I know who I would choose without hesitation and he isn't in MS.

Rodgers is a better pure runner...Favre was built like a Sherman tank. However, Favre's pocket awareness and agility in the pocket to avoid the rush was probably second to none.

The philosophy and approach on offensive of Holmgren is vastly different when compared to McCarthy. Holmgren really did run a balanced offense. McCarthy sells out to the passing game at times, which up to this year was partly due to the horrendous talent at RB. The Packers in the last 3-4 years had become a team where opposing defenses did not fear the run whatsoever, which gave Rodgers massive open areas within 6-8 yards of the LOS to run. Holmgren's WCO was not a deep strike offense that stretched the defense, outside of the brilliance of Favre in evading pressure and extending plays.

Favre's scrambles often went parallel to the LOS, letting his receivers get behind the defense for big plays. Rodgers' scrambles are perpendicular to the LOS, because his receivers are often already well downfield, opening up areas to run. In that way, they were both unique fits for their specific offenses. I don't think Favre would be nearly as good in this current offense...and I'm not sure Rodgers would've been as good as Favre on the mid 90s teams.

That's the way to straddle that fence. your nuts sore? Actually thought the post was pretty good, just had to bust your balls a little....whoops you already did that!

And not being here has softened your head.

Things the poll was NOT about:

1. Missing starts
2. Collarbone injuries
3. Athleticism

If this was a racetrack, that would be a trifecta of glue factory candidates.

You would have been on better ground arguing that early in his career he was a die hard scrambler always looking to throw.

Who is arguing?
