NFL: Favre
- Thread starter GeronimusClone
- Start date
ESPN will bring back the Favre tab on the ticker below, if they already haven't. :no:
Why do you want someone with either of those problems to be your QB? He runs out of gas and then the team has to make a QB change 2/3 through the season??? Kiss the playoffs goodbye, which is exactly what happened to the Jets last year.
If Favre had Superbowl potential, one way or the other, he'd still be with the Jets.

If he had a hurt arm, than that is fine. That can be fixed with either surgery or time.
Now running out of gas is something different, and if that is the case I wouldn't want him to come back
Personally, I blame a lot of it on Mangenious. I watched every single Jets game last year and some of the coaches decisions were baffling to me
Not really convinced of that - I think it was Favre's goal all along to get to the Vikings.
This could very well be the case. Favre sacrifices a year to play for another team, retires and claims he will never play again so the Jets will release him, and then signs with the Vikes.
I agree. I'm still not sold that he is the guy that will push the Vikes over the hump in the Superbowl. The whole thing stinks of desperation on the part of Childress. He is still getting killed by the TJ pick (and continued support) and rightfully so.
I think it worked ok for the Cards last season to have an old timer in the game while Leinart rode the pine.
Some numbers to look at.......2008 Season

Sage. (Texans)...... 66.7 % Completion Rate
6 TD

T. Jackson (Vikings) 59.1% Completion Rate

Probably doesn't mean much, but was interesting. I doubt anyone would have thought TJ had the highest qb rating.

Favre is not asking anyone of us to care about him or his career - nor should we if we really don't want to. If it's getting old - don't watch...
It's like saying you shouldn't watch porn because you see the occasional male genitalia.
