In 42 collegiate games, he threw 52 touchdown passes and 34 interceptions. The Atlanta Falcons drafted him in the second round in 1991.
As an NFL rookie playing behind Chris Miller, Favre spent many nights drinking and few studying his playbook. When he arrived late for the team's photo shoot, he said he had been caught behind a car wreck.
"Boy, you are a car wreck," coach Jerry Glanville said.
Favre threw five passes that season (three incompletions and two interceptions) and the next spring Atlanta traded him to Green Bay for a first-round pick.
In the third game of the 1992 season, he took over for injured Don Majkowski, and trailing 17-3 in the fourth quarter, led the Packers to a 24-23 victory over Cincinnati. Favre never came off the bench again.
Often forcing passes into coverage, Favre had a touchdown/interception ratio of 18-13 that season, then fell to 19-24 in 1993 when he also lost six fumbles. His play often frustrated head coach Mike Holmgren, who in 1994 was under pressure to bench Favre after a 3-4 start.
Lets give the kid some patience we have already suffered thru the Fiedler era ..
If you always do what you did
You will always get what you got..
