Favre done?

I believe Greg Landry was the starting QB when I saw the Chicago Blitz play the Birmingham Stallions (QB'd by Cliff Stoudt) during the USFL's short-lived heyday.

 

Maybe I should have used the blue font.

 

I think one can argue that Favre was a product of his coach...

When he had a great coach (Holmgren) he was great...

When he had bad coaches (Rhodes, Sherman) he was slightly better than average....

With a good up-and-comer coach (McCarthy) he was great again...

If Favre was as great as they say, he would have been a better player from 1999-2005.

 

please. we can link great qb's to their coaches all day. how absurd will all this get?

if i recall, starr was crap before lombardi. so?

this notion that favre utterly fell apart without holmgren is false. was either as successful without the other? no -- not exactly a new flash.

it's like arguing unitas didn't do crap without ewbank.

 

Montana didn't fall apart without Walsh... Just saying...

Obviously, Favre didn't fall apart without Holmgren, but he was not the same player under Sherman as he was under Holmgren...
