In Favre's defense, if he started playing football this decade, and had the same luck to play nearly 20 seasons, he would have half as many INT's just because you can't breathe on the QB anymore without getting an automatic first down. And no more hitting WR's in the air, and there was no "illegal contact", and so on.
That would still mean he'd have more than double the amount of Rodgers, but look at any QB's TD:INT ratio these days. Compare that to the 90's, it's not like the game isn't changing to favor the offense.

Goes to show the different qb techniques

I think it shows Rodgers as a smarter QB.

My friend who foolishly roots for the Vikings says Rodgers' low INT numbers is because he doesn't take enough risks (and that THAT is apparently a bad thing).

Take any advice from a Viking fan and do the exact opposite.

I mean...kind of. He's so freaking accurate - a lot of throws he makes would be considered "risky," he just seems to always put the ball exactly where it needs to be. Is it really a risky throw if he knows he has a 90% chance of putting the ball into the window when another QB might have only a 50% chance of getting it into the same window? It's just semantics, I guess.
Regardless, I'd say his low INT% is due to his insane skill level, not due to an unwillingness to attempt certain things.

Um....he's kind of the king of the hail mary. Like, the definitive risky throw. That's a terrible argument, the dude just has incredible vision.

Yeah but Favre is awesome.

How long will he have to play on this pace to break TDs, just out of curiosity? I'm too lazy to figure it out.

Brett had 29 int's in 2005. Rodgers has 26 total in the past four season
