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!
