Not interested but, our front office is capable of anything

Whoops, there goes the cliche string again.

Very good point. Again, my beef with fellow Skins fans is that we act like we're going 0-16 every season and have Matt Millen as our FO person. While I am not saying that we should be satisfy with average results, at the same time let's not cry wolf every single time.

The Vikes are wasting away a top 10 defense and a young stud of a RB on a mediocre QB. I think they got Sage Rosenfels, which should be an improvement over Jackson, but they could have done something a long time ago.

I find this a little bit similar to the Eagles. Granted, they've gone to the NFC Championship a number of times, yet they only weapon they gave him offensively has been Westbrook. Now that they have a number of offensive weapons available, they better hope McNabb doesn't go back to his ways of getting injured easily.

Favre is definitely not coming to D.C.

If he goes anywhere it's going to be a team that has similar terminology to what he ran in GB.

I'm just going off memory, and someone fill me in, but wasn't the argreement with the Jets conditional that he NOT go to Minnesota? If he did the Jets would forfeit either more picks, or higher picks? Does this even apply after his release?

Best I know, the agreement was that they would not trade him. Now that he was on their roster, and then retired, and now released, apparently it does not. There was probably some provision that he had to play x number of games as a NYJ or something like that.

Yeah, I think the clause was for the Jets not being able to trade him to Minny.

I'd love to see him play in Minnesota. I wanted that to happen last year because they are so QB deficient.

That storyline is good too having him go to one of GB's archrivals. I like it.

Farve would be a good QB coach, we could use one and take that responsiblity away from Zorn so he can concentrate on scoring points with this offense. Zorns main excuse is "he's working with the QB's". Zorn needs to focus on the offense as a whole. I dont think he can.

Dude, you really need to stop with the barrage of posts and think before you write.

Possibly the most ridiculous thing I've read on the warpath this offseason, and that's saying something. Fav-ruh is the last person you want teaching any young qb. He never played "within" a system his entire career. It was always bombs away as soon as he got bored/was behind. Most of the time it worked out for him, but that's not exactly a skill you can teach...

Don't forget his frequent underhanded passes.

[jsarno]

well I guess that wouldn't apply then.
I would like to see what Brett would do if he was in the place he wanted to go. Might be fun. haha

The clause was that if the Jets traded Favre to anyone in the NFC North, the Jets would owe the Pack 3 #1 picks.

But, as stated above, he's now free, the Jets are not trading him, so all bets are off on that.
