I was on a work trip the week before the game and there were a couple of Favre acolytes there (one claimed to be a Bears fan?). I told them that he was way to careless with the ball in big games and that he'd throw a pick and cost them the game as usual. Just shows how much the media rides his jock that they all thought I was crazy.

I didn't need a crystal ball... Brett's 2 pick game was about par for the course.

Fun facts:

If you count only QBs with 10 or more playoff games, Brett is 17th in winning percentage (he's barely above .500). Lower your games played threshold for inclusion and he drops lower.

Brett holds both the career playoff and regular season INT records.

Brett averages over 2 INTs/game in the playoffs. This has been slightly more pronounced since the two Super Bowl appearances.

Summary:

If you want to pick a guy to win a playoff game, he should not be mentioned in the same breath as Brady, Bradshaw, Aikman, Montana, Warner, Elway, Staubach.

If you want to have a guy that will always be around, always start, always be exciting, and almost always get you to the playoffs he's your guy.

Great QB, great fun to watch, definitely an iron man, but not anywhere near top 5 all time.
