It is never easy to take a figure like Brett Favre and compare him to a guy like Vinny Testaverde. But it is time to cut to the chase and really take a look at reality.
From day one this year, Brett Favre could do no wrong by almost anybody's standards. No matter how many INTs he threw, or how many bad decisions he made, there always seemed to be someone waiting to make an excuse for him. Well, as far as I am concerned, his excuses have run their course.
We have heard it all this season. Excuse after excuse talking about how it is a new playbook, or trouble adapting to new players that are causing his poor performance. I have even heard people talk about his age as a potential problem. The only thing I haven't heard is somebody stand up and say, "He just doesn't have what it takes anymore."
It is not easy to say, but it is time for people to wake up and face a cold reality. Brett Favre is just not the player he used to be, and his glory days are gone forever.
He has fallen from the days where he could do anything. He is just not the Brett Favre people fell in love with anymore. Unfortunately, he seems to be taking on the persona of the late Vinny Testaverde.
