| Re: Report: Favre Will Retire
When did I EVER say you were hating on Favre. I have NEVER stated you were hating on Favre. I was DEFENDING Favre. You in fact just yourself that Starr was on stacked teams, so wouldn't that put him at an overall advantage when it comes to winning? It's really hard to base whether he's the greatest purely off of wins. Again Favre can't control every aspect of a game. You said you brought up facts. Well here are some more facts. Passing Yards: 61,655; Passing TDs: 442; 61% Completion rate. I think those are some pretty damn good facts. And I think all of those should factor into an argument over who is the best. Should they not?
Also I think the fact that they only played ONE playoff game during the time when Starr was hot, benefited him when it came to winning them. The less chances you have to lose, the less you're going to lose. That also being said, Starr only lost one playoff game out of 10.
When it comes to winning alone even, From 1957-1969 during the time in which Bart Starr was the primary QB for the Packers they had 3 losing seasons, from 1992-2008 during the time in which Favre was the only starter, the Packers have had ONE losing season. I think that speaks volumes about how good of a player that Favre was. |
