Favre Worship Needs to End

This Brett Favre worship has gone on way too long. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, he seems genuine and you can tell he really enjoys the game. He's also one heck of a QB. However, he is not the QB that everybody is building him up to be recently.

When he was set to retire everybody was talking about all the TD passes his thrown and the years of success he had with the Packers. They seemed to forget the high INT numbers he put up, but hell, he was retiring, why not remember the good stuff. The fun he brought, the wins he secured and the joy of watching him sling the ball from all angles. But once he came back people seemed to forget all the bad stuff all over again.

The Packers were painted as the bad guys because they wouldn't let him come back and push out a QB who had been busting his butt all off-season to create chemistry with the team. The media and fans made it seem like they were casting out a legend, instead of it being that Favre was trying to come back after leaving them to fill the hole, which they then did.

When he went to the Jets everybody immediately said they were Super Bowl caliber. He is just one man. One man, who throws a lot of interceptions. The Jets might be a playoff team, but they are not a Super Bowl team and that has more to do with their defense and Thomas Jones' 13 TDs than it does with Favre.

So how in the world did Favre make the Pro Bowl for the tenth time? Are you kidding me? The guy had an 86 QB rating and has 21 TD passes to go with his LEAGUE LEADING 17 INTs. How does the guy who leads the league in INTs make the Pro Bowl and to top that all off, he made it over the league leader in QB Rating. Phillip Rivers as the highest QB rating in the NFL and has done it behind a terrible OL and he will be watching as an undeserving Favre takes the field in Hawaii.

Sure there are more guys who made it when they weren't supposed to, but this Favre worship has gone on too long. People are forgetting what his flaws are and what people other than him are capable of doing. Just like Aaron Rodgers. You know, Favre's replacement. The guy who has a higher QB rating than Favre on a worse team.
