No Suprise...Favre Retires Part 2

[brettallica]

FWIW - Favre haters need to recognize that he can still play this game at a nearly elite level, if not at a "way better than average" level.

He was #11 in passing yards (with those craptastic receivers), #9 in TD passes (again, with some mediocre hands catching those lasers), and #5 in percentage of passes caught. How he accrued those stats this season with his corps is nothing short of outstanding. As with any gunslinger type QB, you're going to have to take the good with the bad. In Favre's case, the INTs probably frustrate a lot of people, but he's still a top-notch QB, and a hell of a better option than just about any NFL QB right now with the exception of the absolute best -- i.e. the ones that are in their primes (and who quite un-coincidentally have the best receivers as well).
