Talking about Favre today

[ForkEmBucky]

Was with family for Thanksgiving, and the Favre conversation came up. I think for the most part, people are still disappointed with how he's handled things in recent years, but I never want the youngsters to forget how good that guy was.

Found a great article about Favre and Rodgers. To me, the jury is still out.

What I found was that during a 16-game stretch that started near the end of the '95 season and continued into '96, Favre threw for 49 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

That's right: 49 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

What I also found was that Favre's numbers were comparable if not better than Rodgers'.

The complete numbers were 353 completions in 517 attempts for 4,243 yards (68.3%), 49 touchdowns, seven interceptions, 32 sacks and a passer rating of 119.1. The Packers' record during that stretch was 14-2, including 2-1 in the playoffs.

Rodgers' numbers over his last 16 games are this: 356 completions in 503 attempts (70.8%) for 4,642 yards, 42 touchdowns, seven interceptions, 37 sacks and a passer rating of 121.5. The Packers are 15-1 in that stretch, including 4-0 in the post-season.

I watched the video in that article, and it's insane how similar Favre and Rodgers look at times. I don't think I'm ever actually going to pick one.

They're about the same age in these videos. Both in their MVP/Super Bowl form.

Some of the plays Rodgers made between 2010 and now were just bonkers.
