Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

Over the hill isn't accurate, but a lot of athletes, if not most, have the opposite of the break out year when things start to diminish. He looked older a few years ago to me, and I'm amazed at his durability, but at any point he could slide quickly.

My dad always said that some qb's decline in their 30s because their eyesight changes. I think that happened to Farve in his mid 30s & his poor depth perception made a lot of throws late. He appears to have played through that & adjusted, but on any given day he's prone to thinking his arm strength can get the ball into places it can't. When we start to see more of that, A. Rodgers deserves a chance to play.
