Favre lasted exactly one year in Atlanta before he got traded for a FIRST ROUND PICK.
Further, the Falcons had just finished a season posting a 10-6 record, going 1-1 in the playoffs.
Call me crazy, Favre was probably traded because the Falcons felt they had their QB, and some other team was coughing up a FIRST ROUND pick.
Favre was NOT "jettisoned" from Atlanta.
Montana won a SB in his third year.
Brees was released because of his shoulder. It had nothing to do with his performance, or perceived lack of.
The day Edwards shows he can run and manage a pop warner offense with success is the day I might believe that. Expecting him to run a more complex system is asking for disaster.
Even with a dumbed down O, Edwards still looks lost, confused, and generally shows very little passion in playing.
Does he even understand the concept of "communication"?
