I have to belive fans will be upset. Thay may lose alot of money. The problem is the organization pushed Bret to the forefront as the face of the team and kept him there through thick and thin. Now the organization wants to wrestle the organization back from Bret. not good.

Possible locations for him (so I thought)
Atlanta (first came to mind, they need a QB and he started there)
Miami (they need a QB bad)
Carolina (didn't come to mind but possibility)
New Orleans
Denver
Jags (?)
Tampa (but only because they are trying to corner the market on QB's)
Cheifs
Jets

Include us in the list JC would want to have the guy he looked up to too show him how things are done. Not only that but one year here and means playoff than why not. JC could learn so much and Favre could fasten up our offense and get the O clicking quicker than expected. While JC takes pressure of him self by benching for one more year and know the playbook.

With JC this year( Every one expects 4-12/ or 5-11) i expect 7-9

With Favre( 12-4)

The D should still be good and with more weapons here than why not give it an shot.

I'm sure Campbell would rather actually play.

I don't know, this is alot of pressure where putting on him. If i was him( and i'm no where as good as him) but i would actully like to sit down for one year trying to erase that Al's BS playbook and know our team knows the WCO perfectly next year.


I just don't want JC on that term( one bad year = new QB) type of thing. Although Brennan is tempting.

I don't know what you're getting at with the Brennan bit at the end, you lost me there.

But as for Campbell wanting to sit down a year, that seems pretty ridiculous. I mean imagine you're Jim Zorn, Vinny Cerrato, or Dan Snyder and Campbell comes up to you and says "This is too hard for me, I want to sit out a year" I don't know what you'd think, but my first reaction would be "Good riddance, you're getting paid millions to play a competitive sport. If you don't want to compete, you don't gotta go home but you gotta go."

JC would want to start of course, but the reason i'm saying bench him for one year *for Favre* is for Favre should progress the O alot faster. If you have JC this year he could end up not the high expectation, but where saying 20 TD's 10 INT's and stuff which is good how ever the team is gonna take time. I mean alot of us have said JC well end up good in 3 years (just cause of the progress) but bring Favre in here would speed things up.


I say JC wouldn't mind at all. This is his role-model and JC could learn alot from Favre . These Rookie WR's could take time too but maybe with Favre who knows we could have one of them 600-700 yards. Its not an superbowl run no, but this sure as hell could speed things up epically if Zorn is new and the offensive coordinator is new i mean really how good are we sure this O can be?.

All i'm saying is why not..........one year is all we need JC could start next year all he wants and no more QB's at all but its gonna be an problem for alot of us skins if he doesn't act quick. But basically this is all progress and when i saw Romo come of the bench I thought he would suck,but again he was benched and what happened?. If your saying JC is gonna complain if he doesn't start ...nop i doubt it, JC also said he learned alot in one day from Favre and there both from the same place so i dont see why not.

I guess I just don't get what it would be speeding up. I mean you even say it's not a Super Bowl run. It doesn't speed anything up if he (Favre) just leaves after one non-Super Bowl year with the Redskins.

But sure as hell will speed the O up from three years too just one. I mean again if Zorn felt comfortable with the passing than why did he say" where gonna run the ball alot *in meaning 70% of the time*. And its no harm there when you have CP back at his best with the scheme he did similar to Broncos.

I'd stay down on this one, if I were you. It just doesn't make sense.

It would make sense to know an QB has the most pressure on the team to do something instead of just learning one year under the guy he looks up too( as well as Mcnair).


To be honest would you want to start in an new offense and know if you mist up bad this year could mean alot?. Not to mention more pressure after and having an un-questionable QB drafted to maybe end up taking your spot?.
