yeah brett favre would have symbolized the EPITOME OF SAME OLD JETS with that last second INT If im a vikes fan..id cry
I NEVER say this, nor waste my time typing this, but right now, today, at the moment, this is the worst thread on the board right now, and you, the OP, should go away and NEVER return. Ever.
He said several times that he was not comfortable in the Jets offensive scheme, even complaining that the Jets used numbers for pass routes instead of names. Several Jets players said that he was aloof and distant with the Jets, while Vikings players say he has been anything but that this year. If he had had any interest in staying with the Jets he would have gotten the shoulder surgery in January or February so the team would know whether he could come back; instead he retired and waited until May. His wife has said repeatedly that they felt like fish out of water in New York, and desperately wanted to go somewhere that had a small town feel (saying a couple of weeks ago that "God brought them" to Minnesota). There is absolutely no question that he didn't want to be here.
Maybe if we had Favre, he would throw a pick in field goal range to send the game into overtime and then we could lose.
This might be the worst post of the year. The Jets played with a rookie QB and gave him 19 games of tremendous experience, won two playoff games and advanced as far in the playoffs as only two other Jets teams have advanced in 40 years. If Favre plays for the Jets this year, we would have lost to the Bengals or the Chargers, or never make the playoffs, because he never would have bought in to the ground and pound philosophy. He is the only player in the NFL who can stop Adrian Peterson. He would have been flinging the ball all over the field and we never would have known who Shonn Greene is. And the Jets would be going into next year having to wait until late August before we knew whether the all-time drama queen was coming back and, if he decided to finally really retire, we would have a Jets team with a great defense, the best OL in football, and a completely inexperienced QB who would have lost the opportunity he was given this year. Plus, Jets fans now have a QB and a team we can root for, not some selfish mercenary who folds under the pressure in the playoffs and hasn't been to a SB since 1997.
