Where does this undying allegiance to Brett Favre come from?

GRRRR:xpissed:

I'm certain that Brett could join the Vikings this year, throw twice as many INTs as TDs and people would still shower him with praise.

He'd probably make the pro bowl that he has no intention of attending to boot....

(Note: This list documents records held by Dan Marino. ) These tell me he was a great QB. But to say a 47 year old man who hasnt played since being pimp slapped into retirement by the Jags could come into the league right now and throw for 6,000 yards is crazy.

Dearborn couldn't have possibly meant that.

If I'm Dearborn though, I don't want my favorite QB of all time in the same category as that jerk Brett Favre.

The hell I didn't. If Mr. I-Can't-Take-A-Sack-Without-A-Meltdown can do 4,000, then you can bet Marino could do it. I'm fairly confident Miami's line can protect Marino for the two seconds it would take him to find and throw to a target. Yeah, it'd kill Brown's fantasy value, but to see Marino school the rest of the league as to who the greatest QB of all time is, I could live with it.

People can try, but it rings hollow. The biggest difference, though, is character. Marino had the opportunity to go to Minnesota to continue playing and retired because he couldn't hurt Miami's fans like that. Brett, on the other hand, has used Green Bay continuously in a quest for personal glory and when they said they couldn't use him anymore he used New York for an entire year by giving them false hope and retiring in a round-about stunt to go to the Vikings and gain "revenge".

The best thing that can be said about Favre at this point is that he basically gave Miami the division title last year. It was an awesome gift made sweeter by the fact that it was taken from the one player I loath the most.

Hollow my ass. At best, Marino is Favre's equal, only Favre went to the big dance and won it.

Sure Marino could have went to Minnesota. He couldnt hurt the fans? Nah, I think Jacksonville showed him the game was over. No one would have been hurt had he been forced to leave like Favre was, right wrong or indifferent, and no one would have shamed Marino for not wanting a 62-7 ass kicking as his last act on the field.

This is from the mouth of Marino himself on why he turned down the Vikings and retired:

That is a good question. Boy, I really struggled with this. This has been the toughest month of my life as far as dealing with playing football or retiring. After the season, I pretty much thought that I was not going to play anymore and I felt that way for a while and I think it was because of the physical aspects of the game. It kept coming back to how my legs felt during last season, going through the neck injury; not knowing whether I was going to be able to throw the football, and family reasons also, but Claire and the kids, they were great. They wanted me to play, be honest with you. Really, it was my decision, a family decision and a health decision.

Marino later admitted that he seriously considered the offer from the Vikings, but that he turned it down not because of his arm, but because he wasn't sure that his legs could take another season.

Don't for one second try to paint Favre as the devil for having the fire and passion to play and try to paint Marino as a saint. Marino retired because he knew he was finished. Favre may not feel that way. He can still play at a high level most 25 year olds would love to have. Marino couldnt then and damn sure couldnt now.

Dan Marino couldnt throw the fade lob

I believe the remaining have been said of Favre many times, except being a Dolphin of course.

Couldn't or didn't need to? Cause there's a big difference. I actually can't believe you're questioning the skill set of one of the most talented QB to ever play the game.

Im not questioning one of the greats. Im questioning your belief he could walk into 2009 and throw for 6000 yards. Im also challenging your beliefs about Favre and Marino pertaining to their character.
