He was hired to be a game manager, not to throw his ass off. It will be different this year.

True, but besides that game winning drive, favre was horrible throughout most of the game.

I sure hope no one is either asking or expecting Favre to be amazing every single week. I think he's doing perfectly fine when looking at everyone's expectations and hopeful failures.

I wonder if the lumps in the throats of all the Favre haters are growing each week he remains healthy and performs okay?

He threw the ball 46 times. If he has to do that many more times, he will be hurt...no doubt about it!

That quarterback Oakland has is "horrible". Favre is far from that. LOL

Seriously, if Favre was horrible throughout most of the game, what word describes JaMarcus?

I agree that 46 was a lot, but 27 and 21 the previous two weeks hopefully illustrates that they will keep him from throwing that much every weekend.

When they play good teams, he will have to throw more than 21 times.

I would imagine so. I think somewhere in the middle of 21 and 46 is likely.

He's got a good recieving corp, and a nice option to throw to in Harvin. Taylor is also a great receiving attack should AP have a bad day. When he has to air it out more, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm talking about the wear and tear on his arm and his body by dropping back so much. Less is more for him and the Vikings. If he has to throw a lot, he will get hurt.

True. The weeks will take its toll on him. He'll be toasted by the end of the year

Hopefully no one will deny how good Favre is any longer. He's still one of the top quarterbacks in the league. Yes, probably in the top 5 after the way he's playing this year. I'll feel bad for all the Favre haters out there for I assume with each win he adds to his career, there's got to be a lump growing in your throats.

No one, and I mean no team will want to face him in the playoffs this year. He's a fierce competitor that won't be bothered by anything that might surround each game. No one will be more mentally ready to play than him. At 40 years old come next week, if he makes it to the playoffs and wins at least one game, that will be something else that's never been done before.

The records keep mounting!
