MAYBE this coming season, if Brett comes back, Rodgers will have a better year; but if we're talking about last year, Favre >>> Rodgers.

Favre had probably the best year of his career last year. No arguing how great of a year he had. But you have to consider a couple of things.
Yds TDs Ints
Rodgers 4434 30 7
Favre 4202 33 7
Rodgers threw for more yards, Brett threw more TD's. But Rodgers uses his legs alot as well and ran for 5 TD's. Brett obviously ran for none. Also take into consideration the conditions. Id be willing to bet if they switched places Rodgers would have killed Favre statistically. Rodgers had no offensive line, he got POUNDED last year and still put up those numbers. His team had a good defense, but not as good as the Vikes. And clearly Favre had the better running game to work with. Rodgers did all of this with opposing defenses mostly playing the pass.
So yeah, u could argue either way as to who had the better year. My thing is, Rodgers did it with almost no help. Rodgers was Lebron on the Cavs while Favre was Kobe on the Lakers. ;D

I don't think anyone in the Vikings organization if given the chance would take Favre over Rodgers for the '10 season. But we are comparing a 40 year old Favre here. Rodgers in my mind has a long way to go get to Favre's peak level. 95 Favre takes the 09 Packers to the Superbowl maybe.

Thats tough to call man. Old school Favre wouldnt have thrown 33 TD's with only 7 INT's. You could argue that last year was the best year of his career individually. To be honest, Ive never been a real fan of Favre. Having the media suck his nuts every 5 seconds doesnt help. But damn, he would get praise for shit you should get benched for. He would throw a stupid INT...and all anyone would talk about was how he "just has so much confidence in his arm that he thinks he can make any throw". No. He just made a stupid fuckin play lol. He has done some amazing shit on the football field...no doubt. Im a Raider fan...at that Monday night game after his dad died was one of the most ridiculous performances Ive ever seen. But there was some other shit goin on there. He was just flingin balls in the air and people were comin down with em.

I'm not talking about post-Dad 2000s Favre. I'm talking 95, 96, 97 Favre. I don't need to bother looking for any stats. I remember watching him play. At his best he was twice as good as anyone playing at the same time. And for every he has so much confidence in his arm INTs there's 3 so much confidence in his arm homerun completions that only a handful of other guys in history could make in the same situations.
Rodgers has showed me some great Football no doubt, and I'm not saying he can't or won't get there. Laugh at me if you want but I'd take Rodgers right now over any year Brady. The dude is solid. But as of right now he has not reached the level that Favre had reached in his prime. But if you ask me the only other 3 QBs that ever have reached that level were Unitas, Marino, and Manning. Favre had some decent teams and a great system but some of those throws he made and some of those situations he got out of, that I personally remember seeing, were unreal.

I dunno. I agree with the Rodgers/Brady thing. I think a lot of doubters of Rodgers havent actually watched him play. Since I had him in Fantasy last year, I kept a close eye on him. And he is a really good QB. Im not putting him ahead of Favre at his best yet....but statistically you could argue he just topped Favre's best year. To me Favre has always been that guy with an amazing arm, amazing leader, not so intelligent of a QB. He was the exact opposite of Joe Montana who was a very accurate, very intelligent, very "play within the system" kind of guy. Favre was fun to watch...but that was partly because you never knew if he would win or lose the game for you. He was truly a gun slinger who just relied on his arm strength to muscle balls in there. But other QB's like Marino, Manning, etc were FAR more impressive QB's IMO.
