So, after watching Favre so far this season, is anybody ready to change their opinion?  He may be annoying, but he's still a great QB.

I think with the revelation this season that he actually asked to sit down last season when he was hurt, the hate towards him might die down a little. He is playing very well at age 40.

I'll wait till he gets to a playoff game, wins it with a positive TD/int ratio, then says "I'm coming back next year and I'll be even better" then dedicates himself to an off-season workout regiment, comes back, does a whole training camp and then plays with full effort for another season.

Till then he's just Iverson without the bad childhood

Iverson with a championship, maybe.

If Trent Dilfer was the NFL's all time leader in passing yards and TDs, along with top-20 in completion percentage and passer rating?

Yes. But acted like Iverson, or some other anti-team player

Perhaps the other way to look at it if one thinks he is a really phenomenal player would be if you had Michael Jordan, with one ring.  I guess he could be that.

Not ready to change my opinion.  He has a beastly defense and the best runner in the league.  He has been asked not to lose this season, so far he hasnt done that yet.  The Greg Lewis throw was great, but other than that I have thought he has been pennington-esqu

What is the vikings' contingency plan for when he ditches them? The Jets were left in taters and had to trade a lot of picks to get lucky with Sanchez. Maybe that's what the Vikes will do.

The Packers took a huge step backwards with Aaron Rodgers and considered it a very successful transition

Wow.  It seems Green Bay hates Brett Farve more than almost any city ever hated a player.

Someone bought a plane to tow a message!

The man is simply one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game and continues to show why week in and week out.

Except the playoffs or games that are important to get into the playoffs. At least that's how the Jets were probably feeling while Chad Pennington was taking a team with 1 or two wins the year before to the playoffs, while the Jets were left in shambles.

He's personally destroyed two franchises in a row. Now we get to see what happens to Minnesota.

Hyperbole much? ;)  How did he destroy the Jets franchise?  Or Green Bay, for that matter?  He took them to two Super Bowls, and won one.

He's thrown too many interceptions, but he's helped his teams much more than he's hurt them.  I can't blame him too much for the Jets fade at the end of the season, since he was playing with a messed up throwing arm.

Me thinks your Favre hated is clearly coloring your perspective of the facts to be clearly nonobjective. The numbers and the results and his success and MVP trophies clearly say that you are probably not looking at this with anything but a clear anti-Favre bias.
