Its funny how most people in the Country have a completely different point of view of Brett favre than us Viking Fans!




Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 7:27:55 PM)

Best Viking QB ever versus Best GB QB Ever:  Who had the bigger Big Games?

Fran Tarkington appeared in 3 Superbowls and lost all 3, had 1 touchdown and threw 6 interceptions with a passer rating of about 44.9


Brett Favre appeared in 2 Super Bowls, won 1 and lost 1, had 5 touchdowns and only 1 interception with a QB rating of abut 99.4

I you throw out superbowl "stats", I'd add  Marino, Fouts, Moon and Simms, Jim Kelly and as a throwback guy, Sammy Baugh.

yea 20 is tough, but 10 is easy....

13 QB's I would take before Farve, Plus Sir Francis makes 14


Dan, there is no way you watched all of those QB's play!  you may be old....but your certainly not that old!!!  And Naimeth?  Gimmee a break!  The guy had one game! ONE GAME!  He opens up his mouith and his team bails him out!  17-28 for 206 isn't exactly "Big Game" to me.  Plus Unitis was hurt most of the season..Had Johnny U played that entire game I'm willing to guess the Jets don't win that thing.

Ed,

As much as you complain about us saying negative things about him, I think you go over the top to defend him.  You've become a Favre apologist!



Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 7:43:28 PM)

When the negativity goes over the top I think it takes someone going over the top to at least try and stick up for the guy!

I think there are a lot worse people in the league than Brett Favre.

There have been people involved in Murders and Drug Trafficing. Our own team involved in a Love Boat scandle.  there are players out there who self promote to no end.  Player calling their QB a homo on National TV or questioning their QB's ability or desire to play in the Super Bowl. Yet we as Viking fans can't get past Brett Favre....Its almost comical.

I suppose at his his press conference he had tacks in his shoes so he could cry easier!  [&o]

Eric,

There were differing reports.  Favre said a couple of times that he played to honor his father, which conflicts with the version that his family talked him into it.


I do not think Favre's wife is a liar, she and the rest of the family talked him into playing to honor his father. I don't think those are differing reports. He knew it was what his father would have wanted, but didn't think he could. His family thought it would be important later down the road for him to have played.. to honor his father.



Lynn G. -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 8:33:14 PM)

You misunderstand - I didn't say that his wife is a liar.  I'm saying that there was one version out there that his family talked him into it, and another version that he wanted to play.  Perhaps those two reports DO overlap, but I didn't have the impression he needed to be talked into it.

They did overlap. Favre said he knew it's what his father would want him to do, but didn't think he could do it. His family talked him into it. This is pretty well know. They haven't really kept this a secret.

Lynn will NOT be swayed on the Favre issue....[&:]



Lynn G. -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 9:06:26 PM)

That has nothing to do with the fact that playing a game of football was sure a whole lot easier than facing all of the funeral arrangements.  That was my only point - that his family did the hard part, not him.

Come on Lynn....you actually think playing in that game was easy? Maybe it helped him deal with the death of his father.  To rip on him for this is somewhat petty isn't it?

I dealt with the death of my mom completely different than my brother and sister.  It didn't make it any easier or harder.

I would never ever think or call you a bimbo and my respect for you is unmatched by anyone who posts on this Vikings site!

the only one I never saw play was Baugh.... the rest yes



Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 9:14:25 PM)

Be Nice!



Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 9:23:24 PM)

hey namath has just as many SB wins as Favre and he played in the days when QB's didn't get to wear skirts.....

Pantyhose yes, skirts no.. [&:]



Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 9:24:45 PM)

How come Danimals posts are awaiting approval??????

Yes....Naimeth has 1 and Favre has 1....So does Dilfer.  Marino has Zero.  SB wins alone does not a great QB make!



Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/9/2008 10:07:10 PM)

Therefore, favrey, despite playing in a skirt and highheels for 17 protected years, which is the only reason he has half his records..... does not a great QB become....



Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/10/2008 12:00:28 AM)

And that my good man is a matter of opinion!



Guest -> RE: RE:The Packers (3/10/2008 3:46:39 AM)

Ok, fine ED, Namath is out, but that still leaves 13 QB's I put before Favrey, and only Bart Starr as a packer, gets any respect because he was part of the Lombardi era.

Favrey suuuuuuuuuuucks!! forever.[&:][&:]

IMO.
