Well, last year Farve wasn't better than Brunell...that's a fact!

Yeah, last year Mark Brunell's numbers were better with Clinton Portis and Santana Moss than Favre's were with Donald Driver and Samkon Gado. What an accurate gage...

I tell you what....stats aside, God forbid Huddle see this, Brunell was a better decision maker last year and cost his team less mistakes.

True. But Brett Favre has never been the best decision maker in the world. He relies on his rare abilities. That said, I often wish there were a lot more Brett Favre in Mark Brunell. I would rather see him throw picks on 4th and the game than take sacks or try to run for 14 yards. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

No, don't get me wrong, Brette is or at least has been a helluva QB. And I agree with your sentiment that Brunell could use a little more of that "gunslinger" mentallity. But based on last year's performance alone, I take Brunell everyday, with or without Portis and Co.

That's just where you and I differ on this subject. I look for a guy to make plays. Not just "not screw up" 90% of the time and rarely, if ever, take shots.

I think given Mark's abilities he took ample "shots" down the field, but honestly they really are two different QBs from a physical standpoint.

I think the fundamental difference is that they both play to their abilities and have gotten results. The one thing that Farve has proven, perhaps more than any QB in history, is that he is one durable son-of-gun!

Has Huddle even been on since he told us we're losing the battle with ES?

Anyhow, is Favre's stalling really holding the team back right now? I mean either way they have truckloads of money, they're going about their free agent business signing guys like Marquand Manuel and Ryan Pickett. And they have already have their QB of the future (at least they believe they do) in Aaron Rodgers. So right now at least it doesn't seem to me like Favre's decision, or lack thereof, is really affecting any of the Packers plans. If this is still going on in August, that's a different story.
