I keep hearing how "great" Brett Favre has looked this preseason from the media and Jets fans. Jim Mora was just on NFL Network acting like he has lit it up and looked in prime form versus the Giants (zero points put up).
But then I analyze his drives and I see in 7 drives, he has led the Jets to exactly 7 points. That is it. 5 of the other 6 drives resulted in punts and the other one, the half ran out wth no points.
1 TD in 7 drives. That is "great"? And the one TD drive came on a short field and was only a 46 yard drive for a TD.
I mean, I am not saying he has been terrible, but the fact is only 14% of his drives resulted in points so far. Just by way of comparison, 15% of Matt Cassel's drives have resulted in points so far this preseason (2 for 13). And we all know how he has been.
So I just don't get the Favre love. His stats aren't bad, but its not resulting in much good.
