@RockYouLikeAnIracane: Way to disprove Harvey Wippleman's piss-poor thesis. Tebow is the best player in CFB this season - no one means more to his team, and no single player is more dominant or can do the things Tebow does.

@Mr. Marinovich: If Green Bay had drafted Moss...

/shoots self in face

But really, Favre, Brady, and Manning are ALL in the top, say, 7 of QBs, all-time. We've had one matchup so far, and two more could happen.

"So is Favre actually underrated, aside from the media slurping?"@RockYouLikeAnIracane: Having a tough time squaring that question. As I understand it, the media sort of drives the soul-crushing overrated/underrated debate.

Look, Brady was a HOF'er before this season. All we are learning now is what Brady can do when he has Pro-Bowl (HOF, MVP, take your pick on the classification) caliber weapons around him.

As for Favre, sure, he has probably had fewer weapons over his career than the others in his class of QB.

I like facts. They keep me warm. They're like a blanket of reason I use to wrap myself up in when the world's prejudice and irrationality descends like darkness onto my world...

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: My vote for MVP, and I do have one, is Moss.

@Mr. Marinovich: I know. And a lot of it for Favre is one Hall-Of-Famer whose career got shortened (Sharpe), one perennial Pro Bowler (Freeman), and a collection of good-to-very good players who've been there for stretches (Driver, Brooks, Rison, Terry Glenn, and perhaps Jennings, though he has more potential.)

So is Favre actually underrated, aside from the media slurping? You tell me.

@Mr. Marinovich: I think the big difference between Moss and Harrison. Don't get me wrong Harrison is ridiculously amazing. But with Moss there seems to be no problem lobbing it 50 yards down field while two people are blanketing him.

@RockYouLikeAnIracane: But a lot of it for Montana was Rice. A lot of it for Aikman was Irvin. A lot of it for Manning has been Harrison. And so on.

@Diddly: Packer fan since 1996. I'm happy, too.

But at least McCarthy's a surprisingly good offensive mind.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: I think the Pats' one loss would have been to the Colts. Moss bailed them out time and again there.

Scores would be closer and the still-unproven defense (sorry, Indy without Marvin isn't much of a test, ask Herm; also, 27 points to the Cowboys is nothing to sneeze at) might have lost a game, too.

Tom Brady: 38 TDs/4 INT, 3,059 yards, 74% completions, 134.0 rating.

Brett Favre: 19 TDs/8 INT, 2,975 yards, 67.7% completions, room temperature 98.6 rating.

Randy Moss: 66 catches, 1,052 yards, 15.9 YPC, 16 (insert interrobang here) TDs.

So how much of it IS Moss? And at what point is he the MVP?

@RockYouLikeAnIracane: Ew. Facts on Deadspin. And you're just bitter because you had Brady and the other guy had Moss and you lost by three.

@RockYouLikeAnIracane: I mean the Patriots would still obviously be a playoff team without him, but with him it is just ridiculous.

If the Packers had just decided Randy Moss was worth maybe a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick they could have easily had him. This is turning into one of the non-Herchel Walker related lopsided trades in NFL History fast.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: @Diddly: If Favre had Moss, we would be talking about an undefeated Packers team steamrolling towards a Super Bowl. Take him away from New England, and you have a few undersized burners (Welker, Stallworth) and Ben Watson to go with a complement of RBs whose bones are made of silk.

Put him in green and gold, and you don't have to worry about Green Bay's anemic running game.

His QB rating is almost 30 points better than anyone else in the league.

Brady might be playing the best football right now but in person he is the whiniest crybaby I've ever seen. Belichick slapped him on the ass once and he got in the ref's face demanding a 15 yard penalty.

Madden said that he'd never seen a QB playing as well as Brady's playing right now. He did however note that Favre's semen still carries a hint of rosemary and a bold aftertaste.
