Never Forget: Brett Favre was awesome

Yes. Yes he was. 

This is one of my all time favorite throws from one of my all time favorite players. 

I miss watching this guy play. 

I hear from lots of younger Packers fans only remember an older version of Brett Favre. The McCarthy-Jets-Vikings version.

Let me tell you kids, Brett Favre was awesome.

I don't think there's ever been another player who's been more fun to watch. A true one-of-a-kind player.

My all time favorite player! There will never be another Favre. He brought the Pack back from depths of despair. Fun to watch! He played big role in the stadium renovations. For so many of us older fans he erased decades of frustrations and despair the Pack would ever be anything but the laughing stock of the NFL.

Can’t find a highlight of it anywhere but one of the best Favre throws that is still seared into my mind was 2001 season or around there. They were playing Jacksonville on a Monday night and Favre threw a laser to Bill Schroeder between safety and CB for a TD . A freakin rope. Please find and post!! I’ll buy you a drink!

Rodgers is great but give me Favre, he played like a kid on a sandlot and I loved it, turnovers and all. The game is all about intertainment and no one was more intertaining

Intertaining a combination of entertaining and interception?

All great throws.
Similar to what we got used to seeing from AR but without the interceptions. Except this past year when AR missed more deep open receivers than anyone can remember.
I recall a few years back where AR threw to Finley and the ball zipped by 3 receivers all within inches. I remember Aikmen commenting on how Finley was not open on that play.
The speed with which a pro qb has to see his man, decide and throw is amazing. This is something that a guy like Hundley couldn't even dream of doing.

He was the very most entertaining QB to ever play for the packers and one of the best ever. When he had a coach to reel him in he was a true winner. And he was as tough as a linebacker.

I'd like to think Favre was tougher than Nick Perry.

Favre pound for pound was one of the toughest SOB's in NFL history. He would have played the game for free.

I owned a card shop, grand kids will get about 1,000 Brett cards I have so many its not funny. I gotta tell you the first time my brother showed me a tape yes way back then I said who is that guy. Well we know who he is now, loved watching him play never a dull moment.

He would make throws that I couldn’t believe a human being could make, then he would break my heart with a bonehead interception. It was a completely different experience than watching Rodgers. With AR it is, “Throw the damn ball!” With Favre it was, “No, don’t throw it, nooooo!! Crap!”

Favre is still a legend around here for how he was in a wreck while in College, had some of his intestines removed and came back to play and beat Alabama. We couldn't wait for him to graduate. He scared us every time he played us.
His speech at the HOF where he remembered everyones name defined him to me. I like him... a lot. yes, he could be a huge knucklehead at times, but he sure won the Pack a lot of games they had no business winning in those days too.

Favre was the ultimate entertainment. He took us to the mountain, but man, could he rip your heart out through your chest. He was entertaining to watch, but he needed Holmgren to keep the knucklehead tendencies in check. Once Holmgren went to Seattle, Favre was never the same.

Favre was a one of a kind player. He was one of the toughest if not the toughest QB who ever played the game. He had one of the best arms ever and he could just flat out play football the way the game should be played.

Regretably he regressed after Holmgren left for Seattle. I still believe the Packers would have won at least one more SB if Holmgren remained in GB, plus he would have kept Favre under control.

He was fun to watch and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to see his entire career with the Packers. He brought the Pack Back from NFL Siberia and he, Reggie White, Holmgren and Ron Wolf made the Packers an elite team in the NFL once again.
Thanks, Since '61

It was always fun to watch him play the game. Even when he played for the Vikings and the Jets.

I doubt Favre's record of starts will ever be broken. He was one tough son of a gun. And to set that record as a QB is an impressive feat. He put Green Bay back on the map after a couple of decades + of losing seasons. He was as competitive as they come, and having fun doing it. His love for the game was second to none. His speech at the HOF was one for the record books and sealed his career as one of the best, if not the best, to ever play the game. Awesome, yes he was, and then some.
