As for the 4th quarter comebacks, there's a LOT of Elway in that stat. Favre had a lot of 4th quarter comebacks because he spent the first 3 quarters shooting himself in the dick.
The Favre era Packers were comparable to, if not better than, the Rodgers era packers in terms of surrounding talent, IMO. Doubly so when you talk about coaching.
And Favre had a career 186-112 winning percentage and a .624 win%
Rodgers is at 147-75 for a .662 win%. Quarterback wins aren't a great stat by any means, but I think it's fair to say neither guy had an obviously better environment than the other and if you're going to say one of them led more 4th quarter comebacks, I think it's fair to point out that he won with less regularity as well. Which sure suggests that many of those comebacks were self-inflicted.

Right. I lost a lot of money for me at the time because I thought there was no ****ing way Eli Manning’s pussy ass was going to go to the tundra and beat Favre. They beat the bejesus out of them. Badly.

Which is why the "Brett Favre stole from poor people through his charitable foundation!!!" stuff cracks me up.
That dude isn't smart enough to be conniving.

I saw on some documentary somewhere that he was drinking a shitload in Atlanta.
