Would Favre have all records now if...

[HarveyWallbangers]

Are you kidding me? Favre is horrible in domes.

Not really. The team lost a lot of games at Dallas and at Minnesota for awhile, but that's outdated. His career passer rating is actually higher in a Dome than at Lambeau.

How can that be? I can think of a few real stinkers in the domes.

He's also had some of his best games in Domes. Many at Detroit, recently at Minnesota, both games at Indianapolis he had great stats. Two of his three best games last year were in domes (Detroit, Minnesota). Three of his five dome games in 2004 he had QB rating of 102.6 or higher (Detroit, Indianapolis, Minnesota). Two of his three dome games in 2003 he had QB rating of 104.7 or higher (St. Louis and Minnesota). His best game in 2000 was a dome game (Detroit).

I just wanted to put my two cents worth in here.

I shoot a lot of pool. I usually play on a regular 6' bar table. Once in a while, I get to shoot on a 9' table of far better quality than the old bar table. Before I can start shooting consistant on the larger table, it takes time to adjust my stroke, and get the angles down. Then, no matter what the size of the different table, you have to get used to the speed of the table.
I imagine, that going from playing in Lambeau field to a dome would be very much the same. Due to the turf being artificial, the speed and timing of routes could easily be thrown off. Complete lack of wind could cause the ball to carry more than you are used to. Whatever.
Sometimes when I switch from a 6' table to a 9' table, I am able to adjust my game within minutes. Other times, it takes far more time. On the flip side, when I go back to a 6' table from a 9', my shots become more precise, and the game becomes almost to easy.
I am not trying to make excuses for Favre at all, I am just pointing out something that I didnt see anyone else mention in the thread. There is a huge difference between playing QB in a dome, and playing QB outside in the elements. Sometimes adjusting your game will come quickly, other times you may struggle with your timing for a lot longer period of time than you may like.

IF Favre played in a dome for at least 8 games a season (at home), his stats would be better then they are. It's a fact that the weather has a lot to do with the game. Kickers, QB's, RB's, DL, all benefit from being indoors. More speed, no weather, better traction, etc.

Face it, Favre plays football the way it was meant to be played, balls out, outdoors.

What if:

1) Terrence Murphy had not been injured.

2) An OG was draft with the first pick in 2005 instead of Rodgers.

3) Someone other than Ray Rhodes had been hired in 99.

4) Mike Holmgren had been more patient and taken over GM duties from Wolf instead of Sherman.

5) Dan Marino retired a year earlier.

6) Robert Brooks didn't suffer his knee injury.

7) Sterling had not suffered his injury.

8) Chris Chambers had been drafted instead of Ferguson.

9) Mike Wahle had not been cut.

10) An RB other than Davenport had been drafted.


That is a lot of "what if's" for which there is no correct or sure answer.

You forgot one "what if".....what if Sherminator had gone for it on 4th and 1? BF may just have a 2nd SB ring.....

The easy answer is.... Yes.

i'll bet you i could catch more fish or shoot a bigger buck if i hunted and fished indoors too. logistics be damned!!

Yes, if had James running when he started as a rookie. Yes, if he had Marvin Harriosn, Clark and the other Colts receivers. Yes, if had played QB like manning in college and in his early years in the NFL.

The truth is no. The only team that could have given him half a chance to do it was the 49ers. They are the only team who ran a WC offnese and had the receivers Brett would need to make that record. Problem is that neither Walsh or Siefert would have let him throw as much as he has in GB.

Let Manning have his record and let Brett have his.
