Who has been the most surprising player so far in the 2007 NFL season?
Brett Favre is the man, simply put. At 38 years old (well, in 2 days), he is proving that he can still lead a team into battle, capitalize on the individual success of his teammates and do it with impeccable style and grace. He is an incredible competitor and has added supreme finesse to the game of football.
A lot of people counted him down and out after both the 2005 and 2006 seasons, even urged him to retire. Given his current status, I can't think of another player (not even close) that has garnered more respect (well-deserved) from the entire league and fans no matter which colors you wave on Sunday (or Monday night). I was delighted to see him surpass Dan Marino's all-time touchdown record (420) two weeks ago. I think it's safe to say that #4 is neither down nor out and I'm looking forward to witnessing further greatness during the 2007 season and beyond.
