Had the Packers Listened to Bret Favre?

Question

If the Packers had listened to Bret Favre and brought Randy Moss to Green Bay along with Driver and Jennings

1) Would the Packers be undefeated now?
2) If so, would they be a sentimental favorite to complete a perfect season or an unpopular team?
3) What kind of numbers do you think Favre would have put up?

Answer 1

Moss would have had a good start to the season, but his numbers would dwindle as the weather turns worse.

They would probably be 11-1 or the same at 10-2.

Answer 2

The Pack would be in the same spot they would now if they would have gotten Randy Moss. Nothing against Moss, Favre would have thrown more touchdowns and maybe have beaten the Bears.(James Jones 2 fumbles) But the Packers problems have come from the run game and defensive injuries.

The Packers did not have a full time running back until Week 8 or 9. Now that Ryan Grant has gotten the spot and the weather worsens in Lambeau(harder for Favre to throw) the running game should improve.

Nagging injuries killed the Packers in the Thursday night loss. KGB, is a big force up front against the run game and pass rush. Rouse and Woodson were both dearly missed as Romo threw all over the field.

But the answer to your first question is most likely yes. The run game would have protected the lead in the bears games and the defense would have stopped, well slowed down the Cowboys. The answer to the second question is definitely. How could any NFL fan not pull for the Packers over NE, much less any one else. Favre would have put up basicly the same numbers, maybe just a little prettier. Better completion %, afew more TDs, a few less INTs, a couple hundred more yards, and a better passer rating.

But either way the Packers are having an amazing season and hopefully Brett will keep this up and we will see them in Glendale.

Answer 3

The Packers may be undefeated but at what cost are we willing to sell our soul to the devil. I really don't think that any team with Randy Moss will be a sentimental favorite Moss is a player that everyone loves to hate. Undoubtedly Brett would have put up amazing numbers this year. But look at it like this if Tom Brady was not putting up the numbers he is this year Brett Favre would be on the top of every ones list for MVP this year

Answer 4

I think one of the reasons for the Packers and Favre's success this year is that Favre has relied more on his defense. He has abandoned the gun slinging "throw it up in the air and see if it sticks" attitude and relied more on his defense to keep it close and his offense to take what it is given. If the Packers would have taken Moss then I think you'd see more of what you saw in the Cowboys/Packers game where Favre throws it up in double and triple coverage and gets picked. They are better off without Moss. I'm not saying either is a bad player... just don't think it would have been a good fit.

1) not undefeated
2) if they were undefeated they'd be more of a sentimental favorite than the pats
3) favre would have more int's

Answer 5

I don't think they'd be undefeated. They lost to the Cowboys because the defense was banged up and got abused by the Cowboys offense.

Favre would be putting up even more incredible numbers then he already has. Going into last weeks game he was 2nd in passing yards and among the top QB's in TD's and TD-INT ratio. With Moss, Favre would have been a lock for his unprecedented 4th MVP award.

Side note....the Packers will beat the Cowboys in the NFC championship game and go on to beat the Pats in the Super Bowl.

Answer 6

A perfect season because of adding Moss? Doubtful. Pat's would still be better. The pack is good but not as good as their record would indicate. They won't make it to the superbowl. And although adding Moss would have helped it wouldn't be enough. The Packers have always been a team you eithor love or hate.

Answer 7

I come from an prolonged line of Packer followers, (i'm additionally a Bears fan) yet none human beings truly ever have been massive Favre followers.. for my area, i think of he's in basic terms a cocky son of a b*tch. he's gettin somewhat old for the interest, and he needs to retire and save it that way. each and all the comparable, he's a sturdy participant and he benefited his team... previously he left us. Going to the Jets became in basic terms incorrect, however the Vikings.. heavily?! communicate approximately finished betrayal!! And if he thinks he and his new "team" are gonna defeat the Packers (or the Bears[= ) he's have been given yet another component comin'...there is plenty resentment in the direction of him now.. That on my own could deliver him down.. upload our mind-blowing protection, and mind-blowing Aaron!!(:, and unfavourable Mr. Favre is gonna die at Lambeau in pink and Gold(:

Answer 8

As a Packer fan I don't think the packers would be doing any better with Moss. Our record and Farve's stats would be about the same. To be honest, I am glad we don't have Moss. He would cry if he wasn't getting the ball. Brady is throwing the ball to Moss so he will be happy. Just wait till he goes a few games with low stats and you will see him on Sports Center crying like a baby.

Answer 9

I don't think the Packers record would be any different, even with Moss. Thus, they wouldn't complete a perfect season. As far as the kind of #'s Favre would've had, I think he would have probably have around 3,800-3,900 yards & 35 TD's.

Answer 10

i think that the packers would be sitting were the pats r right know minse the cheating part but yes his #s would be perfect and the packers would be unstopable 5 recviers go out 3 of them bening in the top 10 in the nfl who do u double cover and who do u leave wide open the truth is ur screwed no team can do it the packers problem right know is jones he is good but in big games he tends to drop alot of balls
