Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

I don't have much to add to this thread, but there's a bunch of great videos of the Redskins cheerleader tryouts on comcastsportsnet.com. They're a good break for those of you who are sick of the Favre talk. Check it out.

Go Skins!

I just read through all the posts, cheerleader tryouts are sounding very refreshing about now!

isn't anyone going to use the old " vet minimum"?

What a douche, I've lost all respect for the guy.

Agreed. Enough is enough. The guy has done a great deal for Green Bay, but in the last 2-3 years with the retirement waffling he has been completely unfair to that franchise.

I highly doubt that it would happen, but Rich Tandler at least makes a convincing argument here:

Zorn has already made it perfectly clear that JC is going to be the starting QB for the Redskins this year, and for the foreseeable future.

If I'm Jason Campbell, I certainly would not feel comfortable with this type talk surfaceing one week before the start of training camp. Sometime people just get lost for something to talk about. The thought of a very short term Favre would undercut everything the team has been trying to acomplish, and would serve no worthwhile purpose. "Just say no".

Didn't Farve want tall receivers?

Favre's act is so freaking old. Get a hobby old man.

Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

Hell no! I'd honestly rather talk about Mark Brunell, Lavar Arrington or Patrick Ramsey then Farve. I can't believe you would even waste time on this subject. But you're a mod and you can do what ever the hell you want.

Favre would be almost impossible to fit under the cap . If he did come here , we would probably look to trade JC , and I doubt the skins would go that route . As far as MB , Ramsey and LA , they are washed up , Favre would give us a shot at a championship if we got some breaks . For one , I hope he stays in GB and JC becomes our best QB since J. Theismann .

Like it or not until the dust settles and he signs with a new team we're going to hear rumors about the Redskins being a possibility. As I said I don't see it happening but I don't think it can be completely ruled out. A few weeks ago some people were convinced that Favre coming back at all was out of the question.

I am completely ruling this out. There is not a qualified source of information here. Remember the night you went to sleep believing Al Gore won the election? Another case of presumptive reporting. It would not be prudent or feesible in my mind to bring him on to this team, and I don't think he would need a PLUS in the locker room.

His act is old. He throws too many interceptions, and he has not truly proven to be a leader in his behavior over the past three seasons. I wish he would shut up a go away. He has nothing else to do. Do you really think they would allow him on TV? Have you heard this guy talk. Maybe he should do a Catfish show in Mississippi. That will occupy his time.

If Brett Favre came out and says "I want to play for the Washington Redskins," I think this becomes a very interesting story.

I mean, it wouldn't retard Jason Campbell's development at all to sit for half a season or so and slow some things down, but I don't even think its a certainty that Favre would win a QB competition if he came here.

Additionally, he's 39, and the attrition rate for 39 year old QBs is through the roof (or floor, depending on how you picture it). QBs tend to stay pretty good into their late 30's (see: Brunell, Mark), but once 40 years old starts breathing down their neck, their game could fall off the map at any time (see: Brunell, Mark or Testeverde, Vincent).

So, if anyone plays Favre as a starter expecting competency, they are taking a risk that he can keep going like he was able to at age 38 last season. If he wanted to come here, I would certainly listen, but I would not actively chase him.
