This is spot on. Favre won in spite of some teams that didn't have much talent at times. In the span of the 16 years he played for us, do you see any other hall of famers? (Besides Reggie White who had an impressive resume' before he came to us.) Do you even see perennial Pro-Bowlers? (Mmmm. Maybe Leroy Butler. On offense?). And when exactly did the Packers have a Pro-Bowler O-Lineman??? And when did any receiver who left the team ever had any kind of success nearing what they had in GB? And which RB that left made an impact with their new team? His success spanned 3 GM's and 4 Head Coaches, and 2,146 QB coaches.

That doesn't sound like a fluke.

NFL success isn't soley reliant on physical aptitude. Ask Ryan Leaf. Or Vince Young. Or Jemarcus Russell. Or Jeff George. Or...

Brett is a winner. Without any other stat, good or bad. He wins games.
