major Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 With the reinstatement letter being faxed in to the league office, the Packers are about to get desperate and give Favre away. I say: bring the Favre circus to BUFFALO. Let Trent learn for two years from one of the best. We would be a national phenomenon- at least for one year. ESPN would have us front and center all season. Deep down you know he'd win more games for us than Trent or JP will. SIGN HIM TONIGHT!

Favre is a gun slinger like Jim Kelly used to be, as much as I like Favre, his style differs to much from Trent Edwards. Besides, Trent Edwards is ready to take the next step now and we have a young team that needs to mature together.
macdaddy Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 What's the minimum cap hit? You think we have another couple of guys we need to spend that cash on?
truth on hold Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 forget the favre BS, right here, right now. he's michael jordan going to wizards. except favre was never even close to jordan's league .... jordan 6 rings, favre 1. and we all know what jordan did on the wizards ------> sucked, along with the team. let him go to a big mkt team like the jets and waste their time and money for 2 years. packers know better than anyone that packers improvement last year had nothing to do w/ QB, and everything to do with defense. and they know favres skills are receding faster than ed kilgore's hairline

Besides, Trent Edwards is ready to take the next step now and we have a young team that needs to mature together. Well, none of us has any idea if Trent will "take the next step" or not. I don't think coach Jauron would have the slightest idea what to do with Brett Favre. With a different head coach I'd love to see Favre in a Bills uniform. He would not only make Trent better, he'd make the whole team better. Especially the wide receivers. He had a carousel of receivers throughout his career in Green Bay and put up great numbers consistently whoever they put on the field with him. Trent could still learn a ton from him even with the contrast in styles. Look at the year he had last year. He's got plenty left in the tank and new surroundings would motivate him even more. Whoever signs him will get a lot of benefit IMO.
Steely Dan Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Y do you have to be a sh-- head ????? why ???? Why! Why! Why! Just what the Bills need. He plays one year and then retires and then unretires and then retires leaving the Bills hanging and problems in the lockerroom.

In 2 season with the Wizards he averaged over 21PPG. Certainly not the kind of numbers he put up earlier in his career but pretty darned good. The Wizards weren't very good as a team but he certainly made them better. Favre would make many teams better as well IMO.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 No matter what the situation, whenever an aging superstar becomes available there are people who drool all over themselves over the idea of signing them to the Bills. Why? So you can hear the ESPN guys fawning over our team for a week or so? Let me ask you this: If Favre is such a guaranteed ticket to the Super Bowl, why isn't there a bidding war for him? Or are you suggesting that most NFL GM's lack the foresight you possess? PTR

Lurker Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 ESPN would have us front and center all season. Ah yes, the true "goal line" for the 21st century fan. Win, lose...who cares! All that matters is that ESPN loves us!!

major Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 The NFL in 2008 is all about winning now, and making money while doing it. Favre gives us the best chance to get to a Super Bowl this year and he will generate revenue for our team. My ESPN comment was all about hype. I don't care if ESPN loves us or not. I do care about our team being noticed again on the big stage, which again will bring us revenue and make us relevant. I am a huge supporter of Trent Edwards and JP Losman (a rarity on this board). I hope they take us to a Super Bowl. However, I think Favre gives us the best chance of doing that in 2008. Sad to say, the NFL isn't about grooming young talent for the future. I wish it was like the 80's and early 90's again, with players staying around for the long haul. But it isn't and that is why I want to win now with Favre.
