RobbRiddick Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Favre is in my top 3 favorite players of all time. He was reckless for sure but so much fun to watch, just like a kid out there having fun. In that sense he's always reminded me of Allen (or Allen has always reminded me of him). Those playoff games at Lambeau field with Favre playing, snow on the ground, that was such a great time 4 3

Favre, Young, Moon and Marino all stick out in my memory. 1

I think Josh loves Brian Daboll's scheme and committed to playing within it. As he matures, he is playing with more and more discipline. Favre had amazing arm talent, but never played with great discipline. I think intelligence and the trend toward disciplined play within a system that caters to Allen's talent give Josh Allen a higher ceiling than Favre.

We're also talking about a player who has multiple times lateraled the ball well beyond the line of scrimmage to teammates who didn't even know it was coming. And I love him for it!

CSBill Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 1 hour ago, WhoTom said: From his first game, I always thought Josh had Favre-like qualities - even the recklessness. The big difference is that Josh tempered his recklessness, where Favre didn't. Josh's first game = The Minnesota Leap -> yeah, that was very Farve-like. And I do think Josh has the potential to pass him on the "Greatest QB" of all-time line up.

SirAndrew Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, 947 said: It seems like Favre has only seen highlights of Josh & isn't at all familiar with his 2020 season. He says "He's raw" & "He isn't putting up crazy numbers, yet". Neither of those are remotely true, it's like he's talking about Josh after his 2019 season. Josh 2020- 4,544 yards & 45 total TD. 10 INTs Favre's best statistical season (1996)- 4,413 yards & 40 total TDs. 13 INTs Having a brain was never Favre’s strong suit.

Doc Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Yeah, not sure why he said he isn't putting up crazy numbers. He did say that last year at this time he would have said his comp is Mahomes so he must have seen the stats Josh put up.
TheBrownBear Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Desean Watson is a much more apt Brett Favre comparison. 1

It's going to be a blast. I can just picture Allen launching some snowballs at teammates on the sidelines lol

Stats are crazy for QBs for they can barely be touched without a penalty even if QB causes issue (Chicago game) and zebras will "let them play" as opposed to games when WRs were regularly mugged and holding was called on Offense linemen. Don't forget when Zebras made up rule to protect Br*dy.

Just commenting on Favre saying Josh didn't put up crazy stats when he wouldn't have even mentioned him if not for last year and Josh's crazy stats.
first_and_ten Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 4 hours ago, Doc said: High praise. But hopefully Josh is a little more careful with the ball (and doesn't have the substance abuse issues). And hopefully more careful with the cheerleaders too.
