Just as some people don’t do windows and some players don’t do special teams, Brett Favre said today he doesn’t do game management. Or at least he didn’t. Then Favre added with a chuckle, “But I managed the game the other day, as bad as I hate to say that.” Many Brett Favre fans and Jets critics want to turn No. 4 loose, let him call all his own plays and throw the ball all over the NFL’s stadiums to his heart’s content. But unless ol’ Brett is fibbing, he says he’s still on board with the way they do things here in the land of the Green & White as opposed to how he did them for 16 of his 17 previous seasons in Green & Gold territory. “At this stage in my career, there’s not one thing left out there for me to achieve, not one thing that I set as far as goals other than if I’m going to come here and play for the Jets, and that’s to win here. That’s it.” What most followers of Favre worry about that if the Jets change his spots too much, he won’t be what he was during his best seasons in Green Bay. But if we double Favre’s statistics from his first eight games as the Jets’ field general, they look pretty much like the average season he enjoyed in his 16 Packers seasons Packers Avg. Jets Projection

I’ve had so much advice throughout my career, good and bad, some directly and some indirectly. All I know is this is 18 years. I’m still playing. This team is tied for first place. That’s not too shabby.”
that DID NOT come out as planned…..sorry.
green bay stats first then JETS stats.
