I see your point on Favre potentially being a better option than what the jets currently have on the roster but in the last two offseasons the Jets have dumped the “me-first” players and brought in guys with more team-oriented personalities. Are you telling me that Brett Favre would be team first? He kept his playing streak alive last year by playing with a thumb injury that probably caused his team to lose a couple games. He’s played the “retirement game” in Green Bay for the past four years.

Brett Favre is only happy when he’s the center of attention but he’s not good with criticism. He’s also been allowed to go out on the field and throw INTs because he’s also throwing TDs but Brett has thrown plenty of INTs to cost his team games not just TDs to win them. He is a gunslinger, but at this poit in his career has too little care about his teammates and too much care for his own personal glory. I can do without that.

Oh, I would take Marino, Elway, Montana, Steve Young, Manning, Brady (god I hate saying that) and Jim Kelly over Favre and that’s just going back a few years. These guys all had the ability to win games for your team and they also wouldn’t go out and throw three picks to lose it.

It doesn’t matter now since the scenario will never happen, but I didn’t say we would get a #1 draft pick, I just said we would get something in trade. There were posters who were saying that we’d release him and get nothing back. Pennington would fetch something, but not his true market value for the reasons you gave, but we would not give him up for nothing. That was my point.

“How is it I waste space, but you Farve haters don’t”

Well, among other things, you refuse to actually consider anyone else’s point of view. sack and i had a lengthy back and forth over favre’s abilities, and despite never coming agreeing with him, I thoughtfully considered the post each time. All you do is repost the same crap again without addressing the points anyone has brought up.

But here’s another chance….this is the top 10 list that you criticized in another post, yet refused to address. give it a shot and see if you can actually address these points (i’ve removed the “offensive” painkillers comment so you don’t get “sidetracked” again)

Top 10 reasons NOT to get favre:

10. He’s just not that good. He makes terrible decisions with the football and is just as likely to cost the jets an additional 1-2 games as he is to win an extra 1-2 games.

9. He’s a selfish player who will not go out of his way to mentor our young qb’s. ask aaron rodgers – the guy is a d!ck. all he cares about is himself.

8. Because of #9 and the fact that favre’s remaining 2 years coincide with the last years of clemen’s contract, favre’s presence will completely stunt clemens development and prevent the jets from making any kind of assessment on his ability to QB this team when they’ll have to resign him or let him go in 2010.

7. He doesn’t want to play here.

6. What happens if he isn’t successful and the jets bench him? We become the team that snapped his consecutive start streak? great. no thank you.

5. Unless the jets could get him for a 2nd day pick (and they won’t), they’ll be giving up too much for what amounts to a rental player.

4. It’s going to cause salary cap problems.

3. God help us when we have to listen to announcers gush over him week after week and the jets as a team become a secondary storyline.

2. This isn’t fantasy football – you can’t just pick up a qb, stick him in your starting lineup and expect great things. performance hinges so much on a qb’s ability to grasp the new playbook and create chemistry with his teammates – both of which are kind of tough to do in a single training camp. The ability for to pick up that playbook seems like it will be especially difficult, as he is not a student of the game.
