[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878839"] I liked the Favre trade. Majkowski held out for week 1 in 1990, then came out struggling, then was sidelined with a shoulder injury, then struggled worse in 1991 trying to bounce back from that injury which turned out to be a torn rotator cuff. Anthony Dilweg had a brief moment in the sun in his first start in relief of the held out Majik. That was short lived. He was so immobile and slow with the trigger finger he was mercilessly sacked, so badly I believe he retired immediately after that season. In any case, he never took another snap. 1991 gave us the obviously damaged Majkowski and the ineffective Tomczak. The QB cupboard was empty. The 1992 QB draft class was weak, and that is the league talking not 20/20 hindsight. Only one QB went off the board above #19 (Klingler) and after that you had Tommy Maddox available. Favre was a reasonable calculated risk given the raw material. A recent parallel would be the Bills drafting Josh Allen, at #7 no less, an empty QB cupboard, lots of recent losing football, a physical talent with a big arm with questions about what's going on upstairs. Of course, after the fact, it was a little disturbing to find out Favre didn't know what the term "nickel defense" meant, but at the time of the trade it was not publicly known just how much of blank slate he happened to be. I liked the Rodgers pick even more. I started to grow tired of Favre by the early 2000's. It was funny how he'd come out throwing balls into the bench. I'd tell my wife to just wait until he takes a hit to un-stick his gyroscope; that would set things right. Sure enough, while nobody seemed to notice. Then there were the gunslinging interceptions at the most inopportune times. I think the moment where my general sense that the media is so often full of sh*t became a firm conviction was after Favre's "legenday" game after his father passed. The story line should have been the fabulous receiver group performance supporting their hurting QB who was throwing balls up for grabs. But I digress. There was a lot of sloppiness behind Favre's big numbers as the years ticked by. Mumbling about retirement, leaving the franchise hanging, was the second to last straw. Favre not showing up for training camp, with players going down to Mississippi to drag his *** up north, sealed the rightness of the Rodgers pick and the transition, whether he turned out to be great or not. Love? I dislike the pick. Had it been in the 3rd. round it would be less of an issue. [/QUOTE]
