Re: Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

Who started this thread.......come on, this has to be a joke. Don't we have one almost 38 year old backup?

HELL NO!

Re: Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

This was an inevitable poll. Sooner or later someone will say "we should sign him to tutor JC, they're both from MS!!!"

With that said, I vote a capital N-O!

Re: Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

he'd give you one good year, but with a new HC and all, i don't think it'd end in a SB, so there's not much point... we've got a young guy with upside and some proven success, so we might as well not set him back again.

Re: Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

I want to win. I'm not sold on Campbell. Collins was a # 3 QB with the Skins after I guess being the most tenured backup in NFL history. Brennan is a total unknown at the NFL level. So, who knows what will happen. After the draft, it looks like our passing game could take a real step up. I have decided to give Zorn every benefit of the doubt in his personnel decisions. If he wants Farve we get him, we'll win. If he doesn't want Farve, we can win too. I think Zorn wants to win now and will make tough decisions. He's not the great loyalist (Ie. Joe Gibbs and Brunell); he not just an ole ball coach (Spurrier). I'm supporting Jim Zorn. P.S. At $13 Million/year, we probably can't afford Farve anyway.

Re: Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

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.

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

I really don't know what Favre will teach Campbell
