Something has always confused me about Favre. Holmgren ran a version of the WCO at Green Bay. However, Favre was hardly an archetypal WCO QB. About the only WCO feature that Favre possessed was the ability to extend plays with his (albeit, limited) mobility.

However, he didn't possess the kind of intelligence, the subservient discipline, or the ability to throw a tight, accurate spiral in heavy traffic requisite of the WCO system.

He completed 62% of his passes. I don't know how intelligent he is or isn't, but we've all sent dick pics before. So I don't think that makes him any less intelligent.

He had a great feel for screens. Backs never had to wait on a fluttering duck, it was drilled in their numbers and they could turn downfield. Really the same for TEs & WRs...when he wasn't throwing to the other team, that is. Sterling Sharpe held up his hands in an interview once & they looked they'd been in a wheat thresher from catching Farve's passes. With an arm like that he didn't have to be Steven Hawking.
