So when it's all said and done, do we reflect on Favre as one of the greatest Packers ever? Or just a great QB who won a bunch of games and holds most of the records? Seems like every year spent playing outside of GB hurts the legacy.
I wasn't a fan of how he was jettisoned from GB, but I completely understand. That type of stuff holds an entire team hostage. After a few more years of seeing and going through the drama, I'm not as mad at Thompson and McCarthy as I was when it first happened, but there is still a little hostility there from that though. And only because after you go 13-3, you don't can your starting QB. That's my only reason now. I forfeit all of my previous arguments about loyalty, and service to the team, and foregoing a legend for an unproven commodity because after time I've seen the same show on two other different teams in a three year basis (two and a half actually). And he did the same thing to both the Jets and to the Vikings as well. So, I changed my tune on that.
Playoffs? Playoffs? Don't talk to me about Playoffs! I'm just trying to win a game! Playoffs?
