Is the nfl in love with favre?

Question

All jets fans and even the nfl are saying favre did amazing. I think favre is the most overrated player in the nfl. He was 5/6 48 yards and a td... Explain to me how this was amazing. The jets didnt even let him play a quarter, just a drive. Its ridiculous he had one drive that led to a td and all of a sudden he is going to lead the jets to the superbowl. Brett favre is soo overrated...

Answer 1

not no more!!  he is one of the best for sure!  he should take all the money he has and go enjoy life with his family. lets face it he's going to get hurt to where he wished he didn't play again.

Answer 2

What other 38 year old QB do you know that can still sling the ball like that?  Who else has had a career like him, gone through his struggles and still compete on the big stage?  

He's barely had any time in training camp and still marched it down the field to go 5/6 with a TD.  He's still learning the offense.  So yeah, he did good.  Maybe not amazing, but he did good.

Anyone that says Favre is overrated is just a hater.  You can't look at his stats and say he's not one of the greatest players of all time.  Before you go spewing about his INT record, nobody else puts the ball up as many times as he does so chew on that.

Answer 6

Ive been a Jets fan for 15+ years and will be GLAD to answer this question for you. For the 1st time in a LONG time, this offense looked good! Favre came out, and was throwing BULLETS to the receivers, and hitting them right in the numbers. Favre doesnt even know this system and I was betting he would come out and throw some picks, not being on the same page as everyone else. He came out, showed great leadership and delivered EVERY PASS. The only pass he didnt complete was to the running back Thomas Jones, and it was Favre's fault a little behind him. The pass he threw to Cotchery to begin the game, was right in the numbers, as he was covered pretty well but Favre still got it to him. It didnt take Favre long to throw a touchdown pass on this BIG BAD Redskin defense, and big bad Jason Taylor supposed to be sacking him all game long. The reason people say Favre did outstanding was because, HE PLAYED OUTSTANDING! The Jets barely scored in the redzone last season, maybe once or twice, Favre scored the 1st time he got to the redzone. Remember, he has been playing in a west coast offense for 16 years, and this Jets offense is quiet different from that. Very great performance by Favre, and the haters need to shut up and realize that Favre still has it, and the Jets arent such a bad team like most people think.

By the way, after Favre left.... did you not see how Clemens performed? Nobody else for the Jets scored a TD did they? Nope

Answer 7

WHAT

he played for 2 series and had those numbers.  2 series. not a game...

It is also preseason and Favre is one of the greatest players the game has seen.  Don't look at the numbers, look at his rating.  It was close to 140.  Favre is not overrated and all the other teams in the AFC east should be worried to have a winner like Favre there to compete.

I am not a JET fan!

Answer 8

no...but the ny media is

Answer 9

amen to that

Answer 10

Favre is a true Hall of Famer.  He has been durable and done alot with a little.  But he is no where near the level of QB as Brady or Manning.  He turns it over and takes too many chances.  He is not overrated in the sense of his overall career.  But in the potential of what he will do in the AFC North, cautious optimism may be overstating it.

Answer 11

we'll see when the regular season starts.
