Favre Deserved to be Benched?

DynamiteRave · 01-01-2009, 10:00 PM

Jets RB Jones: Favre should have been benched - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

So says Thomas Jones... Apparently Favre is the reason why the Jets collapsed in the second half of the season.

Uhhh... would anyone really argue otherwise?

It possibly could be if someone tried to compare the Jets collapse to the Redskins.

I'll leave that up to someone that knows football better than me.

The Jets knew what they were getting, or at least they should have. As thrilling as Favre can be at times, other times he can be extremely careless with the football. Favre made for great hype and marketing in NY, but looking at matters objectively, he had a big hand in their collapse.

Didn't Favre throw like 2 TDs to 5 or more INTs during their losing stretch?

2 TDs 9 INTs. And a league high 22 INT's for the year. Retire already!

Jones should've kept it behind closed doors but he was 100% right. Farve is just too careless with the football. It's almost comical that a guy that has played in the NFL as long as Farve still makes throws that a rookie would make. I don't know why they would even want him back.

It's called a "big ego". He should have stayed retired.

He's the most overrated athlete of all time. The media protected him through his time in Green Bay and it seems, finally, his rancid play is catching up with him.

Can anyone really argue that that team wouldn't have been two wins better with Pennington?

His injury probably had something to do with it, and the fact he didn't have a full training camp to get up to speed in the offense. Yeah he probably should have been benched, but that's typical Favre. You live and die with his gunslinger mentality.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Farve is another overrated prima dona that ESPN continues to hype and refuses to criticize. He has continued to throw BRUTAL interceptions for his teams IN THE PLAYOFFS for the last 4-5 years. Jones was right on the mark....but he should have kept his comments in house.

I personally am looking forward to the endless media speculation, unfounded Favre-worship, and "watch". The endless tear jerking retirement speeches we have come to eagerly expect for the last few years at season's end.....Perhaps T.O. can give the "he's my qb" hysteria speech for the Jets just to finish it off??

They'd want him back because as the #2 team in NYC they need marketing hype to sell tickets and generate media hype. Favre provides that.

LOL... It's getting stupid.

over half the people that are now bitching about Favre, would have welcomed him with open arms, if Snyder was in the running for his services. he reminds me of the ultimate home run hitter. its either out of the park, or strike 3. i say no way he can come back to the jets. and i cant really believe people think he is over rated. can anyone name some of the running backs he played with in green bay? i didnt think so. he did a whole bunch, with a whole lot of nothing
