Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

I think that ultimately, once Favre sees that no one in any other organization will bend over and kiss his feet to get him to come play for them, he's not actually going to come back.

I also don't think he has any desire to compete for the Redskins' QB job compared to any other team.

So that makes all my points (and most of anyone elses) purely hypothetical. The guy wants to play, but probably not bad enough to be a backup...end of discussion.

Gtripp, you really don't think there's a market for Favre as a starter??

I really don't see where scrubs like Culpepper and Leftwich play into this.

I think there's a handful of teams that would gladly plug him in as their starter. If you want to take a shot at winning it all this year, Favre is your guy.

Don't forget that it's fairly possible that a starting QB will get injured during pre-season. At that point, I can see Favre's stock shoot straight to the top. I guess I still don't want him even if Campbell were to get injured primarily because of salary concerns.

Schneed -- Teams say lots of things. The Packers are able to cut him and not pay 12.5 Mil for a backup QB. They're bluffing hoping he stays retired. If he comes back, they may attempt a trade to keep him out of the division.

Why would they care about his salary?

1) If he doesn't play for them, they don't have to pay him $12.5 million.

2) That is not a team hurting for money. So even if he does come back and play, there are no budget constraints, and there's no salary cap problem. What, is the team going to somehow put that $12.5 million in cap space to other good use at this point? Who exactly are they going to go out and sign with all that space? Vinny Testaverde?

His pay is a non issue to the Packers.

If the Pack actually released him, and he stayed on the market long enough to see Campbell tear an ACL in camp, then I'd say go for it. But that's so ridiculous because the Pack is saying they won't release him, and he's due to be paid $12.5 million this season. So trading for him is an IMPOSSIBILITY for us given we have about $3.6 million in space to play with.

I see him going back to Atlanta

I see him going back to Atlanta

That would actually be pretty cool, but I think even with Favre they'd be around a 6 win team. If he signs with the likes of Miami, Atlanta, or KC it will be pretty obvious his sole motivation is money.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

NFL Radio has brought this up a lot. There are a lot of connections that could lead someone to see Favre here. The type of West Coast system we'll be running is one Favre has seen a lot since it's going to basically be just like the Holmgren system.

Secondly, we don't have an entrenched QB. Not only is Jason Campbell still young and fairly unproven. But he's also not Zorn's "guy." While Zorn may like his future, he's not attached to him like coaches that use first round picks on QBs typically are.

Finally, we're a playoff team with a decent amount of talent. Favre will be looking for someone that has a chance.

Anyhow, Im torn on the issue. Favre is better than Jason Campbell, and it is a new offense for the young guy (yet again) letting him get a grasp on the playbook for a year or two. At the same time, I'm kinda ready for the Jason Campbell era. Time to see him sink or swim. If we go after him, I'll support the decision. If we don't, then I won't be upset in the least. Just trying to say, there are many reasons why Favre could at least be rumored to show up in DC.

Amen.

Thats the thing i'm trying to say also, Zorn likes JC but also likes Brennan 2 X's better. However Zorn does wan't to find JC to stay here and Favre make JC that ultamate weapon. If not JC than Favre and Zorn can work on Brennan for sure.

I don't want to sound like an peice of crap but JC is 26 now and Brannan could probably out play JC and Brannan is 24 years younger.

Back to my point have JC benched for one year and maybe actully have an pro-bowl year cause again Zorn said he is gonna run the ball"Alot" which means the passing is still not close to being great. While we get Favre it could speed things up and teach JC alot i mean alot say this would ruin JC progress but how? JC would be 27 while Romo was on bench for 2 years and ended up an pro-bowler.

I say Yes to Favre for one year, i mean to be honest our O sounds bad (besides Portis) every time an interview with Zorn he always saids" the D stop the skins all the time in the goal line and int alot of passes. I mean is our O gonna be good? or is the D just ruthless.

Amen.

Brannan (or Brennan) is 24 years younger than Campbell? Wow!

I really don't know what Favre will teach Campbell

Amen.

Goodbye, credibility.

When you say Zorn likes Brennan better, exactly what are you basing that on??
