Favre demands trade

I like Favre, but it's time for him to go. He's an icon, but an aging one.

He should've retired.

 

Maybe Favre should have kept his mouth shut years about Javon Walker, who might still be a Packer today otherwise. That would have eliminated Favre's attempt to sell management on Moss, citing a lack of weapons. But that's just me.

 

Probably nitpicking here, but you can't even mention Denver in this convo, not after the Broncos spent a high first round pick on Cutler. If Carolina thought Jake Delhomme could make a Super Bowl again, they probably wouldn't have gotten David Carr to "back him up." Jake's going to be on one of the shortest leashes in the league this year.

And the Jets have a top QB in place? Who? Don't tell me you're buying into the Pennington BS. If he was that good, the Jets wouldn't have drafted Kellen Clemens and forced Pennington to take a giant pay cut last year. He's a place-holder, nothing more. Even if he thinks he is a lot more than that.

 

without reading the four pages, raider nation would love to sign this gentleman to a two-year contract. and oh yeah, teach the golden child all you know while you're in town.

 

Agreed. I could have presented my side fluently without hostility...you have my apologies.

 

Well, OK, maybe I should have put it differently -- the Jets and Carolina, because of their depth charts, don't appear to be teams who would snap up a guy who likely has one or maybe two years left. And I made the same point about Denver and Cutler, though I think he stinks.

Looking at it with little regard for who is in place and how their team feels about him -- the Falcons, Jets, Broncos, Panthers, Bears, Seattle (I know all about Hasselback's stats - I just think he is gutless) and Dallas (not buying Romo either) would all put themself in a much better position to make a run at a Super Bowl championship if they traded for Brett Favre tomorrow.

 

Didn't Favre make a big stink about how he was not going to mentor Rodgers? I recall it as "that isn't my responsibility."

 

now that you bring that up, yes i do remember that. screw favre. raider nation retracts it's interest.

 

Accepted. I can take a rolling of the eyes or some caps or a snarky closing line to a post... but all three at once? I feel the need to speak up!
