Comments on: FAVRE TO THE REDSKINS? http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/15/favre-to-the-redskins/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:36:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Sabrecat5696 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/15/favre-to-the-redskins/#comment-56935 Sabrecat5696 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:29:04 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/15/favre-to-the-redskins/#comment-56935 Remember that Brett's contract is set up so that even if he is traded he gets to "OK" the destination... The only reason the Redskins would make a move on Brett would be for a followup trade to Minnesota for a higher draft pick than they would have to give up to obtain him in the 1st place... I just don't understand why all the Packers fans talked about how these guys were"Great Characters" with how this stuff is all unfolding... Favre is absolutely right to be angry with the media releases the front office has made about what he is "going to be doing" and what is "not going to be doing." Ted Thompson's 1st mistake was making Favre make a decision in March instead of holding off until later on in the spring... I think without doing that they would have a quiet off season and one more year with Favre... It's like asking a senior in high school if he's going to try to play college ball after just losing the State Championship game... You're not going to hear them say "Hell Yes" 9 times out of 10... If you let things sit you're going to give them a chance to go through their priorities and make a sound decision... Bottom line is, Favre has gone too far... The Packers' front office has gone too far... A trade or release is imminent... Aaron Rodgers will be the Packers quarterback this year and most likely that means that Brohm will be starting 8 games this year after Rodgers gets hurt Remember that Brett’s contract is set up so that even if he is traded he gets to “OK” the destination… The only reason the Redskins would make a move on Brett would be for a followup trade to Minnesota for a higher draft pick than they would have to give up to obtain him in the 1st place…

We don't need a bandaid. As long as Jakes arm hasn't fallen off since the surgery, it looks like he will be back and ready. And, I don't think they are good enough, even with Brett, to run too deep into the playoffs. So what would the point be if he couldn't put them over the top.

For instance - it's a 3rd round pick if Favre spends the entire year on Washington's roster; or it's that 3rd round pick and a 2nd round pick if Washington trades Favre; or it's the 3rd round pick and a first round pick if Washington releases Favre and he signs with an NFC Central team. Being a Viking fan, I hope the third scenario occurs - but that Favre ends up with the Bears. @ proudmonkey

Why don't stars learn from people like Joe Montana and Jerry Rice who add one or two mediocre years with teams that nobody wants to remember them playing for? As a Redskins fan, I would weep for three reasons: 1) Jason Campbell's talent and heart will be wasted in D.C. 2) The new philosophy of collecting draft picks and staying away from aging/overpriced free agents will be exposed as a sham 3) The Snyder/Cerrato administration will have proven incapable of sticking to their guns Just say no, Vinny!

The Skins traded a 1st round pick to get Jason Campbell. His last season at Auburn was his most sucessful, and he was running the West Coast offense. Plus, this is the make or break year for JC as the franchise QB, why would they put him on the bench for a guy who might (should) retire after the season? The only way this might happen is if Vinny convinces Danny that a Superbowl win is a Lock with Farve. Nice rumor, but it doesn’t make sense. The Skins traded a 1st round pick to get Jason Campbell.
