I wasn't talking about individual games... I was talking seasons. Hell look at the Jets season last year. We had a great season in the beginning and middle of the season. The end of the season Favre looked like crap and blew our playoff chance. That isn't the first year that has happened to Favre.

I'm not saying he's a bad QB, I'm saying I don't think he is great. I think he is mediocre and that the reason he holds the records he does is because of the amount of time he has in the league. I think people are crazy to put him in the same category as "great" QB's like Montana, Young, Johnny U, Joe Willie, or Dan Marino.

QB's often make or break a team. That's nothing new.

And for a long time Brett Farve has made a team, not broken it.

As much as I dislike the whole retired untired thing Favre has been doing, I do think he is the greatest QB of all time

Anybody remember the surgery he had because he tore his arm up during the middle of the and kept playing. The Jets players loved having him because he brought back the fun in the game for them. But yeah, last part of the season was pretty rough.

And Favre does have that tendency to force plays when nothing else seems to be working, so when you hire that guy you understand the pos vs neg that come with his style of play.

I am just glad I'm not a Vikings fan.

There was an interesting interview on Comcast Sportsnet last night with Troy Brown, the retired Patriots receiver/defensive back. He was asked about defending Farve last year and said that the Patriots' coaches told the defense to just hang around, Farve would throw the ball to them sooner or later.

All in all it's really sad that many aging athletes cannot face the fact that their youth and most of the skills they previously had have left them and it's time to get on with life beyond the playing fields.

And Favre has a ring, since the QB is the one who "makes or breaks" the team, I guess that would put him better than Marino as well?
