Favre Deserved to be Benched?

[SirClintonPortis]

22 TDs and 22 INTs. Sorry, but I'd much rather have Peyton Manning for a TD-producing machine since he doesn't get picked off all the time like Favre does. Not unless someone thinks INTs are just as good as TDs, as a Favre apologist very much seems to imply with their excuses.

I remember that Favre had Dorsey Levens and Ahman Green. I also remember Antonio Freeman was one of his targets.

Dorsey Levens was pretty good for a few years

You hear that argument made here from time time and it's not one I understand. What, we can't criticize players on different teams because a few people play Madden too much and think we should sign every free agent?

And if you are arguing that the talent level of the mid-90's Packers constituted a "whole lot of nothing," then you are in need of a serious history lesson my friend. That was one of the most talented teams of all time. Notice how much playoff success Favre had with less talented teams, after losing that second Superbowl. Not much.

I am just glad it was the Jets & not the Skins that got him.
