Superstar or superTEAM?

Much is being written about the way that Brett Favre shredded his former team in last night's game. Yes, the Vikings won and yes, Favre threw 3 TDs, BUT was it a bad decision for the Packers to go in a new direction with the QB position a year ago?

The statistics today show that after 4 weeks of this season Favre has a Passer rating of 104.7 (3rd in the league). Rodgers is only 2 slots behind that with a rating of 101.1 while still taking a league-leading 20 sacks in the first 4 games. And Rodger has actually thrown for 261 MORE yards over these first 4 weeks than Favre.

What would Favre's rating be if he was playing behind the Packer's offensive line? What would Rodgers' rating be if he was playing behind the Vikings offensive line?

The media likes to make a lot of the QB controversy, but football is a TEAM sport.

In the same way CHURCH is a TEAM endeavor! People may compare musicians or Pastors. Congregants may have great love for one teacher or a particular small group leader, but NOBODY serves in isolation.

What are you doing to value the team around you?
