My point is that Favre is so intrinsically motivated to be a good player and a good teammate he can't even fathom how other people would need to look up to him in order to do the right things as players and teammates.
By all accounts he is funny, relaxed, and positive on the practice field, in the lockerroom and in team meetings. But one of the reasons IMHO he became uncharacteristically prickly when questioned about mentoring Rodgers is that he wants nothing to do with telling anybody else how to conduct their business--Rodgers included.
Of course, absolutely, and obviously he is one of the league greats when it comes to inspirational and charismatic leadership when the team is on the field.
My main point is that Favre usually doesn't tell anyone how to do their job. He will sometimes call out another player if their actions affect him and the team.
He has never said a remotely negative thing about a coach or a GM in his entire career. He may put a bee in TT's bonnet about Moss through Bus Cook. He would not call TT twice a week asking how the Moss deal is coming along.
