Consider this, last year the Jets went 9-7 with the 31st ranked schedule and Favre having an All Pro year. This year they replaced him with a QB who had a 63.0 QB Rating, played the 3rd toughest schedule in the NFL, and still finished with a 9-7 record. Why? Because they completely altered their style of football, just like the Vikings would have done without Favre and just like the Vikings did last year.

Zuh? The guy threw 22 interceptions, that's All-Pro worthy?

He made the Pro Bowl and not as an alternate, that's what I was going by.

NBA goes strictly by the fan vote so is totally meaningless. NFL is 1/3 fan vote, 1/3 player vote, and 1/3 coaches vote so is only partially meaningless.

Come on. It's meaningless. There's no way anyone with 22 interceptions should be called an All-Pro.

Favre threw 7 of them after the Pro Bowl voting was done. That was a pretty bizarre case. People were talking about him as an NFL MVP candidate up until that point.

Tavaris Jackson leads a team to 10-6. LOL

Wanna bet on the superbowl sniper?

All Favre has to do is manage not to strangle himself tying his shoes and people would talk about him as an MVP candidate. He didn't have a good year with the Jets, much less an All-Pro one.
