Let's play a game... Since a lot of people seem to think that Brett Favre is washed up and should retire, let's list the teams in this league who would rather have Favre under center than their current QB. I'm not talking about a long term solution, as Favre will probably retire this year or next. I'm just saying, if you wanted to win now...this year...and had a choice between Favre and any team's current QB, which teams would take Favre? I'll start out with the obvious candidates... Bears Cardinals Vikings Browns Bills Who else would replace their current QB for 2006 with Favre?
id rather Grossman over Favre, thats if he got rid of his brittle bones and traded em for someone elses.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (nflfan04)</div><div class='quotemain'>id rather Grossman over Favre, thats if he got rid of his brittle bones and traded em for someone elses.</div> Can you give reasoning. Grossman's career QB rating might be lower than Joey Harrington. If the Bears want to "win" now Favre would be the better player. No doubt about that. If they want future than Grossman is your guy.

I preface this with the fact that only way other teams in league would take is if he wasnt a cheater. Bears would. Cardinals wouldnt. Warner better solution Vikings would Browns would Bills would texans wouldnt Carr is better Lions wouldnt, kitna is better Raiders wouldnt, brooks is better Chargers would.
I think once Favre decides he's done that will be it. He won't give as much deliberation to playing for another team as Marino did w/ the Vikings. Bottom line; No more deals with or for Brett. ROFL.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I think once Favre decides he's done that will be it.</div> I agree. I know Favre won't ever play for anyone else. I just think this is a fun way to show that the "washed up" Brett Favre is still a better/more desirable choice than half the starting QBs in the league right now.

He isnt good as he was, he wont get any better, and he doesnt have enough left to win it all, so he just doesnt fit with any team. That is, unless he has some deals in place i dont know about.

Brooks is very inconsistent and has always been all over the field. Plus if you give Favre, Randy Moss it's a great match. Kitna has had one good year in his career. I think he's a solid backup but nothing more. I rate him up their with Trent Dilfer but not top 20 QB in the NFL.

Brooks has always been consistent with his mistake. Favre has actually been able to make plays. Favre will make more and give you bigger plays than what Aaron Brooks can give you. I'll take Favre to Moss over Brooks to Moss.

Also once again if Favre had the talent of the Chargers around him, he'd put up 28 and 18 this year and probably throw for 4,000 yards or close too it. GB doesn't have that talent. Rivers will probaby be luck to throw for 18 TD's and 3,000 yards.
I think any team that would like to have a young QB sit on the bench for a year or two to learn, Favre would be great vet to put in there. That being said, Chicago would be a horrible fit as Grossman is trying to settle in as the starter. The Bills? I thought they had a huge prospect in Losman! Of course Favre is going to be a desirable QB for many teams in the league, but the complaints are still valid. Favre does make too many mistakes, he is a step slower, and is not the Favre of old. Is he a good vet? Yep, but I don't think he's the guy that can single handedly carry a team like he used to do.
