Well they actually stood up to about 10 of my "trollings" before lashing out so I'd have to agree. I went on the Giants MB and just made my presence known and I was murdered on the spot.
So I get out of the Kanye West concert and I get 3 phone calls telling me that Brett Favre is a Jet. Totally worth the gamble, totally worth having Clemens learn from him, and totally made my birthday fuckin siiiiiiiiiiick.
Yes the Pack stunk when they went 4-12 but the #1 WR (walker) went down hurt in week 1. The starting RB Green was hurt shortly after. Then Ferguson, Gado, Herron and Fisher got hurt. The team was the walking wounded (o-Line was banged up as well) and you had a lame duck coach who knew he was getting fired and gave up. To place the blame all on Favre is absurd.
Tell you what, rather than answering this question myself why don't you go ask the Packers? And this guy says it pretty well in another thread. http://www.nypost.com/seven/08062008/sports/jets/wrong_move_for_jets_123328.htm
BTW: Anyone who doesn't believe this makes us a better team and yes...a legit SB contender...well if you're really a Jets fan you'll love getting proven wrong this season.
Brett Favre could take a shit in the middle of the field in Week 1 and never show up to play again, and I still would be in favor of this trade. It's an absolutely +EV gamble.
I wonder if Rhodes asks for Favre to sign that football that he dipped in gold after an INT he got...
I actually interviewed Rhodes on my college radio show a few years ago. Somehow I think Favre is going to be a harder get.
F John Clayton...he may be right that Favre didn't want to come to the Jets, but I don't know if it's the LAST place he wanted to end up. I mean, he wanted to stay in the NFC North, but I didn't see him mentioning the Lions as a place he'd like to go.
The Jets just drastically improved one of the most critical positions on a team. Anyone who is down on this move is trying to be negative.
I won't answer that particular question because you asked a different poster that particular question. I have a question for you, though. Why were the Packers so very scared of having to face Brett Favre with him under center in Minnesota? (Note: if the Jets trade Favre to Minnesota, the Vikings will receive three 1st round draft picks from the Jets per a report from Adam Schefter.)
What feeling is the opposite of getting a free safety lodged in your ribcage after having to go up for a floating deep ball? Because I'd guess that feeling.
I don't think Brett is jumping up and down like a teenage girl at a boy band concert, but once he reports to camp, I have every bit of confidence that he will be fully invested. The guy is a pro and loves the game.
