just saying that i don’t think your analogy is very strong.

His interception rate matches up pretty well with all of the other quarterbacks that you might place on the list of greats ahead of him. Look at the top 15 all time interceptions-wise. Most of it is HOF'ers. Yes, Favre is 1st on the list. He is also first on the toucdowns and yards lists. The only guy that you can point to in terms of interceptions and say- he was better at protecting the ball than Favre is Montana. Of course, Montana also had 170 less touchdowns to go with his 140 less INT's. The point is, Favre's loose nature with the ball is something shared by many great quarterbacks, probably because most of them believe they can make every throw.
