What's so great about Brett Favre? He played like a million years - and only has a single ring to show for it ... and that one ring came thanks in part to the 1996 Packers #1 rated defense in the entire NFL.
Without Sterling Sharp to throw to - and without that Reggie White led #1 defense in the entire NFL - where are his rings?
I'll tell you who was a real loser though - that Barry Sanders guy.
Nevermind that Sanders went to 10 Pro Bowls - I don't think the Lions ever won a single playoff game the entire time he was in Detroit.
A running back that was actually a winner - like the great Reggie Bush for instance - would have surely won a Super Bowl in Detroit.
I remember when Sanders somehow took the Lions to the playoffs in '95 - they give up 58 points to the Rodney Peete led Eagles in the wild card game. Scott Mitchell threw 4 INT's in the first half - and they pulled him and his backup came in and threw 2 more.
Once that loser finally retired and left Detroit - the Lions have been a near dynasty ever since.
