The way i look at it is...

Can Brett Favre do with the 08 Redskins what he did with the 07 Packers?
If so then it is a no brainer that we should try to get him here for a short term deal with numbers that make sense...

The NFC east is a much a tougher division, so getting to a SB with that competition will be tougher: Adv. - 07 Packers

The Redskins have a better Offensive line that if healthy could provide a veteran like Brett Favre with more time than he needs...This year <knock on wood> we should be healthier and the unit should be the strength of our team: Adv - 08 Skins

The Skins have a slightly better defense that would have been better in 07 had they had a more consistent offense. It is centered around controlling time of possession which ,for the most part, Favre-led offenses usually dominate.: Slight Adv - 08 Skins

The Skins specialty players are as a group more talented than the packers (Portis, Cooley, Moss, ARE, a solid core of young WR). If Brett can do what he did last year with a bunch of inexperienced WR's, then with a solid running game and WR's out the wazoo he can be a surgeon. Imagine Favre to Cooley it strikes up memories of Favre to Chmura - Adv. - 08 Skins

Of the 7 games the Skins lost in 07, 5 of them were decided by 7 points or less. The skins allowed 19.4 ppg and scored 20.7. Brett's packers scored 27.2 ppg (2nd in the NFL). If you say that adding Favre (over JC in 08) may give you an extra TD in a game, it could potentially result in the difference between a mediocre season and a dominating one. Not to knock JC but if we had a QB last year (or any year in recent memory) with a 90+ QB rating like Favre had, we could have very well won the whole thing - Adv. - 08 Skins

I realize this is a highly hypothetical scenario but my point is that the skins needed any help they could get on offense last year and even the slightest improvement would have been a difference maker. Still winning a SB is a huge long shot every season and you always take the chances of the field over any given team. Picking up Favre over JC would mortgage our future and it would prove that as an organization we haven't learned from the mistakes of our past. As scary as #4 would look in burgundy and gold, I would have to pass.
