Favre, in his prime, was an offensive juggernaut. He has 8 seasons with 30 of more TD’s, including the run below from 1994-1998:

YEAR TEAM G CMP ATT PCT YDS AVG TD LNG INT RAT

1994 GNB 16 363 582 62.4 3882 6.7 33 49 14 90.7
1995 GNB 16 359 570 63.0 4413 7.7 38 99 13 99.5
1996 GNB 16 325 543 59.9 3899 7.2 39 80 13 95.8
1997 GNB 16 304 513 59.3 3867 7.5 35 74 16 92.6
1998 GNB 16 347 551 63.0 4212 7.6 31 84 23 87.8

I am not much of a stat junkie, but those numbers are just amazing. Favre has had some bad seasons, but look what he did last year. He took a mediocre team and led them to a 13-3 record and almost made the super bowl. The only quasi storybook season we got was the Garcia run in 2006, and they were losing bad until he took over. I know the media loves Favre, but he has the right attitude. He would never whine or complain about being labeled a gunslinger or a bad decision maker any of that, he will just go out and play. During his career, McNabb almost seemed hesitant to run, even when he should have, out of fear of being labeled. He has said as much.

Look, I agree with you that McNabb is still one of the better QB’s in the game. He has never had the offensive cast that Favre or any of the others have had. I would gladly welcome him back next year, but what makes you think they are going to all of a sudden give him some weapons besides a rookie WR and an aging, ailing RB?

yes, i’m a diehard dnabb fan. always have been, always will be. the day he’s traded or released, my eagles loyalty is cut off completely and i’m going wherever he goes.

I have sat through a lot worse with the Eagles than this, many, many poor decisions over the years and decades, so I am not sure what to make of that statement. Are you are a McNabb fan and not an Eagles fan?

yes, i’m a diehard dnabb fan. always have been, always will be. the day he’s traded or released, my eagles loyalty is cut off completely and i’m going wherever he goes.

In that case, you are not a true Eagles fan. The day that McNabb is traded or released, I’ll help you pack in your Eagles’ fandom and show you where the door is. I find your lack of allegiance disturbing. And no, McNabb isn’t the only reason that we’re 5-5-1, but he’s a big damn part of it. Let’s humor your assessment that McNabb is a patron saint of football and obviously he can do no wrong… Say we get a different coach next year and we keep McNabb. New Coach calls for a square in to Jackson (a throw McNabb consistantly throws 3-5 yards short and into the ground), please tell me how changing the coach is going to mystically help McNabb become a more accurate passer…. it won’t.

I thank him for everything he’s done, but his time is going quickly. He was never accurate. His edge was that he could run around and let coverage break down and then have the ability to throw the ball to an area and have the WR get it. He doesn’t have that luxury anymore and his shortcomings are quickly showing through.
