Wish he would've put the pressure on the coaches last week.

Heard on the radio that a Jets CB said if Lord Favre wants to come back he needs to work out with the team and put the time in in weekly practise. Supposedly there were special exemptions for the elite Pro Bowl QB.

The Pro Bowl is such a farce to have Brett Favre in it.

I'm suprised more Jet players HAVEN'T dogged the craptacular Favre. Seemed like everybody else did what they could against the Dolphins to win except for Favre. He did turn over the ball twice in Dolphin territory killing what could have been scoring drives.

I'm surprised the Jets haven't come out and said they have no interest in resigning him, and let Favre hang in limbo all by himself.

All of the top Jet veterans have come out expressing dis interest in retaining Favre.

Team MVP, Thomas Jones.
Laveranues Coles.
Jerricho Cotchery (although some say he was misquoted).
Team Captain, Kerry Rhodes.
"Veteran Anonoymous Player".

I loved watching Brett in Green Bay but after what happened at the end of this year I really hope he leaves my team so we can move foward from all the drama. I think Kellen Clemens could do just as good a job, if not better.

Nothing like not giving the Miami Defense any credit with comments like that.

Jones showed up to play more so than Favre. Favre did exactly what I predicted he would do at the beginning of the season. Choke when his team needed him the most. As he'd done in the 5 past seasons. Brett's instinct is to be a gunslinger. And that's what blew the game for them.

The problem with defending the "longer to get going" players is that players who can't get it going earlier hurt their teams by putting them in bad position. When your running back is getting 2 yards on first down, you put your quarterback under more pressure. That might be fine when you're looking at Tom Brady, but it's not so good when you're looking at most quarterbacks, especially injured quaterbacks.

Look, I know that people here like to bash Favre. It's fun for them, no matter how stupid it is. I understand that, because most people don't think before popping off, and they don't realize how hypocritical they are being. But, the reality is that Favre was playing with an injured arm and there was nobody on the Jets' bench than an injured Brett Favre. The man is ancient by NFL standards and, even injured, the Jets had nothing better to put under center. Don't blame Favre for that, blame the front office that spent a ridiculous amount of money but didn't protect themselves against an injured quarterback.

And, as for Jones, he certainly wasn't calling out Coles when Favre's #1 receiver was pouting like a little girl and then struggling to get open all season long, along with the rest of that pathetic receiving corps. He also didn't talk about that overpriced offensive line, which got Favre sacked more often than he'd been sacked since 2000. Then again, his memory must be fairly short to have forgotten who put the Jets in position to make the playoffs in the first place by playing good/great football against the Patriots and Titans, so perhaps expecting him to hearken back almost a decade is too much.

I despise players who complain about teammates who try playing through injury. It's not up to the injured player to pull himself, it's up the the coach to make the move. Hell, if Favre had pulled himself, the complaints would be that he didn't suck it up and play through the pain. Blaming a fellow player in that situation is gutless, clueless and classless, and Jones should have known better. Then again, losers fix blame while winners fix problems.

I don't think teammates should publically diss other teammates for any reason, but this is still a symptom of why Favre should just retire or the Jets should cut him. He clearly is not popular with his teammates and therefore cannot be a good team leader. I think he is done personally.

The guy got 17 of his 22 TDs in six games which are the only six games where he had 2 or more TDs. For those not good with math, that means he got 7 TDs in his other 10 games. And he can only blame the last five on his torn bicep. He also has more game where he threw multiple INTs (7) than multiple TDs (6). He really only had two really good games in Arizona and New England. The Arizona game was in large part due to the defense because 4 of the 6 TD drives he had started in Arizona territory. Even the Titans game, he had one costly INT and could have had about three more if Titan players didn't drop balls.

Seriously, the guy has become another TO with better PR. If what Favre has done and what other players say about him happened to anyone else, they would be reamed over the coals by the media. But because the media loves Favre, they give him a free pass. Seriously, if Marion Barber said the same thing about TO, the media would be calling for Jerry Jones to cut TO.
