  • Deathmetalrulz2, I ...

    Deathmetalrulz2, I agree with you for the most part.

    The only problem I have with what you said is "He didn't make a mistake" and "he just made a mistake"

  • I'm not taking away ...

    I'm not taking away from the rest of the team. I'm saying everyone knows the QB is an integral position for success. They handle the football 100% of the time, they call plays (the good ones), and they overall lead the team. You can still be successful without a strong QB, but it's hard. Look at Barry Sanders all those years. amazing HB, with no support. Look at the recent bears, amazing defence, with Rex. If you would have put an Aikman, Marino, or Farve on those teams, and they would smoked.

  • Don Majkowski? What ...

    Don Majkowski? What about the rest of the team? Doesn't anyone care that there are receivers that caught his passes? Running backs that gain tough yardage. Offensive lines that stop pass rushes. How about defenses that stop other teams from scoring? Everyone is giving Favre all the credit and say to hell with the rest of the players. I am a packers fan. Good to see all you die hard band wagon jumpers turn on the teams like this.

    We are not going to win crap with Aaron Rodgers. He's another Don Majkowski if we are lucky.

    As far as Chad Pennington---my guess would be that Parcells makes a run at him with the Dolphins because Chad would be an upgrade. I also think Jon Gruden & the Tampa Bay Bucs will make a run at him just because he just loves QB's-(Plummer/Simms/Garcia/etc.).
