BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

I'll say it again.. Brett 2007, 2006, 2004, 1999--whatever.

Do you remember Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens?

To say the Jets are clearly not a better football team now than they were this morning is just absurd.

The Jets have every reason to feel like a playoff contender now.

Yeah, they are not very good.

But a QB that does no know the system and has never played with the other players is not helpful either.

A football team is not a great collection of individuals, but a team that can work together and knows how to do so.

He is no longer a 4 w/l difference player, especially going into a new scheme and an offense he has no idea how to run.

System?

Dude, Bret from the first day of his career has lived, and died with being a sandlot QB. Its rare to hear Bret Favre and system QB in the same sentence.

If Favre is even "average" the Jets become a very dangerous team.

Romes just said it best.. The Bills road to the playoffs got tougher.. The Jets are better with Favre than Pennington, and nobody can deny that.

Thomas Jones just got some fantasy value real quick, and I'm sure he's doing dances right now.

bye bye 8-man fronts with noodle arm Pennington not starting.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

Great move. This makes Bills long shots instead of darkhorses. Man instead of Vikings vs. Pack, it's Dolphins vs. Jets. I get the brunt of Favre's rage.

Jay Glazer reports Chad will be released (and no, we shouldnt sign him)

Sandlot does not work if the rest of the offense is not sandlot too.

He was better last year because the Pack kept him under control.

He very well might help the Jets. But adding 4 or 5 wins to their total already is nuts. We don't even know what kind of shape he is in.

They have a better QB in Favre than Pennington, but whether or not the team is better is still a question.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

Selfishly, I was dying to see Favre face GB.

But although it may end up hurting Buffalo's chances in the division, I cant wait to watch us play him, twice.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

Cutting Pennington will be interesting.

He is very well liked by his teammates.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

This is definitely an upgrade for them, but Favre isn't god. Remember the last time we played him and balls were bouncing off his face and he threw interceptions in the endzone? Last year was the right mix of very good defense and a great running game. We'll see what happens this year. It will be very interesting to see him vs. the Patsies.

Sucks but Favre just doesn't have the weapons he had in Green Bay.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

You know, if Favre is washed up or not, I'm very envious of the Jets and their fans. At least a bad team is making some sort of attempt to make the team better NOW, instead of letting their best player hold out of camp and two big name players go into the last year of their contracts without any type of public progress being made on resigning them.

I know that the draft and smart FA signings are the right way to "rebuild," but every once in a while you have to roll the dice and make some waves and make a trade like this. The Bills should have come into this year as the most improved team in the AFC East, but with the Fins getting Parcells as the GM and now the Jets getting Favre, the Bills may have to take the back seat yet again and fly far under the radar. Forget about ever hearing Bills news on ****Center, I mean SportsCenter.
