And I still stand by my statments..Brett is the best QB to ever play the game; holds more records than any QB ever (and maybe ever will)...and it's not becouse he has played the most years...although it might be becouse he has played the most games in a row..(another record I didn't mention on an earlier post). I hear ya Tim T...and I admit...the season is off to a ruff start. But you have to know how the man plays the game; he has allways thrown the ball into tight coverage, and allways will..Brett is known for that..thus the picks will happen (didn't happen much last year). But also some of the greatest throws of "all times" came from his arm. Of course...with his age now...he might not be the best on the field today...but he can still take a team and beat the best...and another Superbowl victory isn't out of the picture yet Tim T. I know this for a fact...when they induct him into the hall of fame in Canton Ohio...they **** sure won't say that he was the most over-rated QB to play the game! They will..however ....say that he was the best to ever play at that position...and it will be a very very very long time before we ever see another Iron Man like him.....some of his records will out live me, you...and our children's children! One if a kind...and it will be hard for me to not shed a tear when he walks off the field for the last time...and he will walk off the field...not carried off!!; and just maybe...holding the "rock" when doing so. There was another QB that was very close to being as good as Brett ....and he died just days ago...George Blanda! Another self made player & athlete that was dedicated to his team..supremely competivness ...but mostly his hard work ethic was just unreal. Coach Davis said that he had never seen a player in his life that worked harder that George Blanda. When I was a kid...I was a huge Raider fan..I had a poster of George working out in the Raider's weight room...there was sweat pooring off his forehead in one steady stream to the ground...I've never forgotten that. George Blanda was the original Brett Favre!
