Respect #4

Why the lack of respect for Favre Billy? Ain't like you chasin' Cameron Diaz or anything. Although he didn't reach the Super Bowl again after 98', Favre still made Green Bay competitive almost every year. Being from Denver, I would think you would certainly agree that there is something to be said for longevity. Being from Denver, I think you would certainly say there is something to be said for taking teams with less than stellar RB's to the promised land. Being from Denver, I think you would certainly say that the measure of the greatest QB's is what they are able to do when their teams are behind. Don't give me: "Ahman Green was a great running back." With Terrell Davis, Favre wins 2 more. Don't give me: All his records are there because he played a million games. Don't give me: he couldn't win the big games when it counted. Elway haters use all of this same warped logic. Don't be a hater. Now, you can say that Favre's early career was godlike and then sputtered out. And you could say that Elway's early career was a pile of hooch and then ended like a freaking Disney movie. But you must take into consideration a simple fact: Elway's personnel got better, Favre's got worse. There is only so much one man can do. Lay off the guy. Plus, we all know the true measure of a badass Qb's career is how long he can date women who are 28 and under for, how many bars he can get thrown out of, and how many businesses he can tank. And in that category Elway is just a few notches behind Namath with miles to go. Lets hang on for a bit and see what Favre can manage to do to slosh his personal life around, then we'll judge. I still rank Elway as the greatest ever -(behind Joe Montana in my head but never out loud unless its a blog because Stewie is brutally honest)- Johnny Ballgame 4eva. ~ Stewie
