First off,
That's it for the season... another rebuilding period for the queens ahead.
Second off, yeah, all Favre needed was an O-Line, which provided him with a superstar HB, which gave him enough protection that he could PA into anything. He didn't need a defense. He didn't need a whole team. He just needed a little help.
Sherman is a horrible GM. He ruined one of the top OL in football, never improved the defense, and his skill position players got hurt. He put too much weight on Green, Davenport and Walker's shoulders and it bit him in the ass. He's still got the skill to win a superbowl if he was on a good team.
Third off, Pat Williams was an undrafted Rookie Free Agent. He signed for a "good" contract, but nothing more. He should be getting more than he's getting. He's got a chip on his shoulder, he doesn't think like other people think. Most players, like the ones in the pro bowl, they were drafted with EXPECTATIONS of getting to the Pro Bowl. These guys were all 1st round picks, pretty sure. Dunno about Rod Coleman, but the point is... they were drafted. How many HBs do you know who care about fantasy stats? Priest Holmes does. He has a chip on his shoulder, too. He wants to get as many stats as possible in the short time he has in the league, because his time in the NFL matters a whole lot more than someone like LT, who started as a rookie. Priest Holmes and Pat Williams spent years on the bench before they had their chance. They know their careers aren't going to be as prolific as Bret Favre's. They started their careers in hurry-up offense mode. That's why, when Pat Williams laughs and mocks a Center for being pathetic and incapable of blocking him, even when his team loses, you understand. It's not about the team. No team has ever handed anything to him, so he doesn't owe anybody anything.
But basically, he made Olin Kreutz his personal bitch, and Kreutz makes the Pro Bowl every year. When the best center goes against a DT and gets decimated... that's an estimation of the quality of a player.
