Past discussion on the General Board

[th87]

Regarding if Favre could start for 22-24 teams in the NFL.

There are some sig-worthy gems in there.

Then I had to shut em down.

The thread started in August.

Hence, the reference to "past" discussion.

The Redskins one cracks me up being in DC.

Jason Campbell hasn't performed badly, but alot of people round these parts aren't convinced he's ever going to be the guy, though.

And Dan Snyder would have done anything possible to bring Brett Favre in here two years ago if he could have.

Campbell 12tds, 11ints this year. Todd Collins, sparked his team to victory over the Bears.

Hilarious.

Next August, post the same discussion only use Shaun Alexander, because that's exactly what this discussion sounded like. Given age, salary and production the last few seasons, would he be a guy you want starting for the Packers?

Ironman vet QB and worn down on the tracks RB--two entirely different discussions.

It all starts with QB.

I haven't followed Alexander closely enough to decide where he'd fall in the continuum of RBs. These guys hadn't followed Favre closely enough to judge (in an educated fashion) how he'd do this year, but still spouted off at the mouth. Anyone who'd followed Favre like we had would have known that reports of his decline were greatly exaggerated. Well, except a couple of us.

And here we go again. Nope...it's not worth it. Your correct, no sane person had any reason to believe Favre was declining in 2005 and 2006.

I think we should look back at all the people who ripped the Packer receiving corp....and you know there were alot of you!....Because irony upon irony, all of the years in Favre's prime where he "made" the receivers, this year its clearly the opposite, GB's recevers have "made" Favre...with the ability of these receivers, rb's, and 1 very good Te's ability to pile up massive yards after the catch, they have made it appear Favre is throwing crazy bombs when in fact its the receivers ability to catch a short pass and make huge plays.....Favre has done an excellent job of managing games.

[th87]

This is true - these receivers have been nothing short of amazing thus far. Hopefully they can continue to "make" Favre even better.
