Excerpt:
On Monday, when Favre was asked why he thought the Packers would be able to turn things around this season after going 4-12 a year ago, he responded with such optimism that someone could easily wonder what Favre knows about this year's team that seems to be a mystery to everyone else.
"I really feel like this is, as far as talent is concerned, the most talented team that I've been a part of as a whole," Favre said.
Favre's statement likely would cause guffaws from members of the 1996 team that won Super Bowl XXXI, and it's quite the turnaround from earlier this year when Favre threatened to retire if the Packers didn't make more improvements in free agency.
But after seeing first-hand what the Packers have during organized team activities in June and in the first four days of training camp, Favre said he sees a great deal of potential in this year's team.
"(It's also) the most unproven, inexperienced team that I've ever played on," Favre said. "If we can somehow put it together, there's a lot of talent out there."
