Should the Patriots get Favre?

[Frezo]

Of course. Then they could retire his number.

 

[BelizePats]

Please think before you post. This site is a privelage and should be treated as such. Instead of talking about the Pats red zone D or the exciting 3rd receiver camp battle, this is what you decide to post?
We deserve a better effort from you.

Oh hell it was just a dumb idea... speaking of which, nothing being impossible and Karma being a notorious ***** -- watch it actually come true, despite all lack of logic for all concerned. Offseason, as has been mentioned. Better to throw this out there now than pop up and explain in mid-season how we have been losing games because we really miss Bethel Johnson's contributions.

Well, at least nobody here will ever be accused of being openminded. lol.
But, aside from hating on me, the only reasonable objections seem to be:

1. salary
2. Favre wants a starting gig
3. the distraction factor
4. the improbability of it

To that, I say:
1. He's NOT coming back for money.

2. No matter where he lands, it will
first be as a backup. Further, it will be
months - not days - before he develops
timing + chemistry or knows the playbook.

3. Didn't we hear the same thing from every
local media outlet concerning Moss coming?

4. Don't the Pats generally explore the
health and availability of most any player
that they think might help or hold value?
So why, then, rule this one out for them?

Sure, it's easy to say "it ain't happening,"
and probably be right. Any fool can do that.

I defer to your demonstrated expertise on the subject of fools

There's no reason to "Rayborque" Favre. He has a ring.

 

[RayClay]

Should they get him what?

Is it his birthday?

just let it go you've made enough of a fool of yourself for one day.

Inflation has certainly devalued 2 cents.
You may win an ESPY tonight for brilliant post of the year.
This is ESPN quality.

 

[JoeSixPat]

Getting Favre should be Plan C in case Plan B, coaxing Joe Montana out of retirement, falls through. (Plan A involved Johnny Unitas but efforts to bring him in as Brady's backup couldn't have gone worse.)

 

[MKats31]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We Have Brady

 

[Deus Irae]

While Favre would be a great asset for the team to have as a backup quarterback, the chances of this happening probably hover at just above 0%. Between the salary he'd need to be paid, even as a backup, and the line in the sand that's been drawn by the Green Bay 'brain trust', this is just not going to happen.

 

[patriotsdynasty12189]

We have 4 QBs on our roster.

 

[Jimke]

Only if the Pats are going to cut or trade Tom Brady.

 

[tuckeverlasting]

maybe moss can talk management into acquiring favre. i know he's a bit of a pain and a prima dona with an addictive personality but he's never been in any real trouble. i think with the vets on this team and the way they run the lockerroom, favre would not be too much of a distraction. send green bay a 4th and redo his contract so it's minimal risk for the pats and i think we've got a deal.


my, how times have changed.

Come to think of it, since Terrell Owens wants to play for him so much... and I'm sure Dallas wants Tuna back... and since everything will come true if we wish hard enough...

 

[spacecrime]

I know, it seems unthinkable! The Patriots already have
the best QB in the league, hands down! So why would
a retired legend even be a consideration for this team?

Simple. Favre is faced with the unpleasant situatin of
having to sort through teams that might be interested,
bearing in mind that he almost certainly can't remain in
his current division. If he does, it's in GB---as a backup.

Let me ask you, who would you rather back up, the best
QB in the league, or your own unproven previous back up?

Remember, also, that this would allow Favre to throw bombs to
Randy Moss, which is a major factor in his retirement decision.

Also, Tom Brady has not yet showed his ankle is 100%. They
haven't done a whole helluva lot to minimize the hits on him. If
you're the Pats, do you bank on a rookie QB, or gamble on a legend?

This is too stupid to even comment on. I'm sooooooooooooooo glad TC starts this week.

 

[NEPatriot]

A good answer is NO because Favre doesn't want to be a backup QB and Pats doesn't want to pay XXXXXXXXXX million for a 'backup' QB.

There is no way Favre is going to have TB's job. Not in his wildest dream!

 

[PatsFanInVa]

No no wait who says only 1 QB can be on the field at the same time...
