It's about Football stupid

After the NFC Title loss I wrote: "What concerned me most was the QB play. Favre looked old and not just on the last pass. He looked done in by the weather. When he moved and threw it didn't work. The legondary gun slinger threw about a 5 yard pass to a TE on 3rd and 15.

I heard Ron Wolf say recently that Favre tilts the field in his favor. Certainly in this game he did not as the little Manning beat him.

I don't know that he should retire or that it Rogers time, but this is most questions I've ever had about him."

Bob Mcginn the who provides the finest Packer coverage out there wrote this on 5 August: "

From a purely football perspective, the organizational shift against Favre began that November night in Dallas, gained steam in the arctic cold of Soldier Field and became a blaze during Favre's pathetic second-half showing against the New York Giants with a Super Bowl there for the taking.

Just about everyone who counted in the football department reached the conclusion that Favre could never win another championship. His dismal playoff record in the past decade couldn't be overlooked. And the Packers concluded that it would be the mother of all mistakes if Aaron Rodgers got away without being properly evaluated as a starter."

So with all the emotion there's a double look at the football side. From my passionate and amatar perspective I had doubts and from the rational and professional side there were doubts, too. As things end lets all remember that.
