Is this what you’ve come to? name calling? If I was a pats blog regular, would I be posting with the same name in both places? Do you comment on CNN.com as “Sackdance”? don’t be a d-bag.

-”how can you legitimately say that Favre is not a great QB?”
- WAS a great qb. WAS. His physical abilities have deteriorated to the point where they no longer compensate for his poor decision making-

Until they begin keeping track statistically of how many stupid throws a QB makes that go into double or triple coverage, or how often he holds the ball too long, I’ll point to the INT’s – and to your own damn eyes – as evidence of his poor play.

If you don’t think he makes bad decisions with the ball, then you don’t watch the games. Perhaps you follow the jets only through the box scores?

— And don’t give me his completion percentage as evidence of his great decisions. He throws a TON of short passes. He ranks 19th in YPA, and 15th, by the way, in QB rating.

But the thing is, I have had these exact same thoughts about both interceptions and TDs thrown by Favre. It’s no surprise to me that the guy is such a polarizing figure. People have very different levels of risk/reward tolerance and varying reactions to mistakes.

I’ve been in a pool for fifteen years and have had to pick every Packer game against the spread over that period. I would always think, “Well, Favre will likely throw at least one interception for a TD so there’s 7 right there, but will he throw 2 no one expected him to make to cover it?” In his prime the answer was often yes. 21st century Favre made the pick a little tougher.

There’s no doubt the Jets could use the slightly more controlled 2007 version but I worry about those that want to totally handcuff him. I just think there will come a time in the next 8, and hopefully 9, 10, 11…, games when the Jets will need the cannon to fire and you won’t want it mothballed.

It’s a big coaching challenge. Mangini’s got his work cut out for him. I’m hopeful he will rise to the occasion.

“Brandon, I don’t know who you think is a good QB, but I guarantee that whoever it is, he has thrown a pick 6.”

you either misread or didn’t read my post, so allow me to copy/paste..

Yes, even good qb’s having good seasons throw pick 6’s. how many times a year do they do it though? seriously – i don’t know where to find that info, but i’m sure it’s nowhere near what we’ve seen out of favre so far this year.

It’s been clear since the day the favre trade was talked about that you were a favre apologist, excusing his high INT totals because of a bad offensive line in GB. During those same conversations, I pointed out that the high INT total was due to bad decision making, and you wanted no part of it. Well, the proof is staring you in the face now. The guy makes HORRIBLE decisions with the ball – and all you can do is make excuses.

As for favre’s importance for the scoring output….
The Defense put 10 points on the board themselves, the opening drive was COMPLETELY due to Leon, and as the last drive was the rb’s.

Favre gets credit for putting 10 points on the board (for the jets, 17 overall)

THERES NO WAY ELI CAN SMASH FARVES RECORDS……. At the rate he is going he would have to play ’till he is 90 yrs old to get 300 (and counting) INT’s.

i can actually recall a couple times when the guy has held the ball too long, ecspecially yesterday when he didnt see coles streaking across the back of the end zone, which is why you saw coles go ballistic when he threw it away, im not a favre hater by any means, i actually like the guy’s savvy, and he gives this team “character”….but truth is truth, he’s had numerous m,iscues this year, probably some that cost us a game, but we should have expected this, its a new system, they will click, iron out the wrinkles and look forward to “statement” second half. jenkins and revis for mvp! go jets!…ya dig
