A bit harsh.

No, accurate. Favre's penchant to turn the ball over makes him a liability.

All of the praise Favre gets should instead be heaped upon Kurt Warner, the man who brought two different franchises to the Super Bowl and owns the #1, #2, and #3 best postseason passer ratings in NFL history.

>>> No, accurate. <<<

No, it is most certainly not ‘accurate’.

The only reason the Vikings were in the game was because of Favre’s penchant to move the ball downfield.

The Vikings most certainly did not outplay the Saints.

As for Favre, your article left out this fact:

>>>> In Super Bowl XXXI, Favre completed 14 of 27 passes for 246 yards and 2 touchdowns. On the second play of the game, Favre threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to receiver Andre Rison. Favre also completed an 81-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Freeman in the second quarter (then a Super Bowl record). Favre rushed for 12 yards and another touchdown, as the Packers won Super Bowl XXXI over the New England Patriots, 35–21. In their 19 games of the season, the Packers had a turnover ratio of plus 24, and outscored their opponents 100–48 in the playoffs.[31] <<<<
