Favre Traded to the Jets!!!!

[HansUlrichGrimminger]

Jason Smith was quite happy to being a Jets fan and all, if you ever listen to him on "Late Night on ESPN Radio"

the timeline goes like this:

favre retires
farve comes back
farve retires again...
farve comes back but is told "hey you retired we got someone new" so he pouts.
farve gets offered 20 million dollars to quit crying and retire
farve gets reinstated by NFL commision but HAS to be a packer unless traded.
farve refuses to compete for a starting position because he knows he will fail.
farve doesnt play.
farve goes to the jets.

....future..........

farve gets PULVERIZED this season and realizes this wasnt such a good idea, and 20 million would have bought a nice house somewhere in the bahamas.


the moral of this story is farve is a over rated QB, always has been, always will be. Hes just a man, men make mistakes, hes only as good as his team plays that day (or if Rex Grossman fumbles.....again)

GO BEARS

p.s. dont worry i hate Grossman too. Kyle Orton is our only hope this season and thats not saying too much :/

Also I'd like to add, NY isn't going to forgive Favre for his screw ups. He's a great QB but throws tons of Interceptions, Wisconsin is much more forgiving than NY.

Wow... All I can say is you know nothing about Brett Favre... I can't even being to comprehend how wrong you are.

But lets try to list the ways...

1) Favre retired once during his career. He came back once.

2) Favre had no problem competing for the starting position for Green Bay. But the organization didn't want him there. NOT ONLY because he retired but because since that day the Packers started to move forward as an organization and make it official that Aaron Rogers was their starting QB.

3) He never pouted. This WHOLE time there has been very little said on both sides, both the Green Bay organization and Favre. It's alllllllllll the sport shows that decided to cover it 24/7.

4) When things were said it was made clear by both sides that it was time to move on. No hard feelings.

5) The Packers offered to buy out his contract, which he had with Green Bay until the year 2010. Money he would of gotten if he played for Green Bay if he either didn't retire or sat on the side lines.

6) A legend like Favre will never sit second seat to a untested player. Especially at a commanders position like QB.

7) If Favre wanted a house in the Bahamas... I'm sure he wouldn't need that 20 million offer... You are talking about a man that played in a game where players get payed MILLIONS. And he played 17 years of that.

8) Underrated... are you dumb? The man holds more records than you can't even begin to comprehend.

9) I'll break this "he's only as good as his team" thing down for you.
A) No one man can be a team... especially in a team sport.
B) He made his team better for 17 seasons (Alright maybe not all 17 =P) But through out the years he has never had great TE's, RB's or WR's. He made the people around him better. Look at all the recievers that grew under his command and then went off to other teams and became nobody's.

I will list some for you.
-Antonio Freeman
-Desmond Howard
-Robert Brooks
-Ahman Green (RB)
-And there are much more.


Many great quarterbacks and for that matter football players have finished their last seasons elsewhere. Case and point, Joe Montana, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and nobody cares about his days in Kansas City. 5 years from now, nobody will care about Brett Favre's one or two seasons in New York.

In closing he WAS a legend. He will always BE a legend. I'm sorry that you are just a bitter Bears fan, but give credit where credit is due.



(Yes I am a Packers fan, I have been my whole life.)
