Chairman Cheyco said:Well, not in this thread anyway...
Lord knows it's not a good habit to intentionally try to refute everything that Joe Theismann says, but when he claimed on Monday night that Marc Bulger might be the "most accurate passer in the game today," I had to look this up for myself because Bulger has always had the aim of a drunken Canadian Mountie every time I've watched him. Anyway, STATS Inc. keeps track of "poor throws" (passes that are completely uncatchable). Favre is No. 1 on the list with 88. No. 3 on the list? Marc Bulger with 79.

I saw a stat referenced in Bill Simmon's latest mailbag, discussing Marc Bulger specifically but also relevant to the conversation at hand...

Dude said:OMFG. Once the NFL starts counting that as an official stat, we'll talk.
I see you and Todd won't even respond a decent answer to my post in the FFB thread regarding all the QBs "better" than Favre. You have no pot to piss in.
Yet you'll slam Favre any chance you get. Any QB around as long as he has been will be up there in INTS. Ever see Elway's career stats?
the_bird said:'cause just because a statistic is maintained by an independant third party, not the National Football League, it's completely worthless....
todd_k said:I don't want you to get your panties in a bunch again but if you insist..... Have the packers clinched a playoff spot yet? How many pic's was that yesterday? Who's fault is it now?
the_bird said:You know, it's not a perfect stat, but the QB Rating generally does a good job at compiling all the relevant statistics. The guys at the top are the Peytons and Carson Palmers, at the bottom are the Joey Harringtons and Bruce Gradkowskis.
Brett Favre this year?
#24.
Numbers 22 - 25 read Alex Smith, Jon Kitna, Brett Favre, Charlie Frye. Great company Brett's keeping these days...
Take that for what it's worth...
(In Bill Belichick monotone) Hmm. Well, you know, we value the team over the individual. When a player thinks he is more important than the team, the team struggles. It is what it is. We want football players, ummmm, smart football players who can learn assignments and that kind of thing. Not heroes, football players.

Tom Brady will never be bigger than the team, and when he gets to a point in his career when it is better for him to hang up his Super Bowl Rings and chase after the likes of Scarlet Johanssen and Rockets (after I break her and Dice-k up this coming spring) he will do so. It won't mean fans "hate" him, they just are rational enough to know it will be time for him to retire or move on to the Seniors Circuit out in Oakland.
ablrbrau said:Trading Favre wouldn't help anything. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, he's still their best player. Now if we could just trade away the O-line, a couple wideouts, and most of the defense........
desertBrew said:Lets not pretend that Favre has been on some slow dragging down the Packers for 5+ years tirade. Last year he sucked, this year is better than last but not all that great. A mere 1.8 seasons ago he was selected for the Pro Bowl (8th time).

Thank you db.
I don't wish to imply that I feel that he is hurting the team. I agree with your assessment.
Our identity with our team cuts deeper than wins and losses. I'm sorry that not everyone feels that way.
desertBrew said:Yep, the heritage & dignity to our most famed players is far more important than "what have you done for me lately". They'll never get it...
Sandy said:You know, i'm just sick of all the what have you done for me lately "fans". Frankly (and at the risk of being labeled a "farve apologist") my view is that Brett has EARNED the right to play as long as he wants. The guy just wants to win. That's it. Does he throw terrible passes that make you wonder how the heck he made it beyond pee wee football...absolutely...but 90% of those balls are because he's trying to do too much. Again...he just wants to win...he has never been a just "manage the game" type of quarterback...the only way he knows how to play is to just go for it. Frankly i wouldn't have it any other way.
todd_k said:OMG..... And you asked why I've stayed away from your thread?????
the_bird said:I'm speechless, frankly... I'll leave this thread alone for the time being.
the_bird said:I'm having trouble with the whole concept of it being more important to "honor" Favre by letting him play forever, even if it hurts the team as a whole.
the_bird said:Remind me, who was it that once said "Winning isn't everything, it's the ONLY thing"?
