| I wouldn't call it shocking that Favre has only 1 400 yd game - surprising perhaps given the number of opportunities. However, he played his entire career in the west coast offense (a short-yardage passing system) and has a career yards/att avg of 7.0 - about 80th best in history. All this "gunslinger" junk that you hear about in the media is exaggerated - many of his passes are going to be for a small amount of yardage, decreasing the odds that he will throw for 400. Favre would be a different QB and would probably have more 400 yd games if he played in the systems of the other great QBs such as Marino, Manning or Fouts. |
