Is Brett Favre that Good?




Since Green Bay has not surrounded him with the talent that he needs to win, he apparently went to management and asked for a trade. Which team on the verge of the Super Bowl will need Brett Favre? I will go down the list of each team and pick whether or not the team should pick Favre or stick with their current quarterback.

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills – Favre
Miami Dolphins- Favre
New England Patriots – Tom Brady
New York Jets – This is a tough one, but I will stick with Chad Pennington

AFC NORTH

Baltimore Ravens – Close, but I’ll pick Favre
Cincinnati Bengals-Carson Palmer
Cleveland Browns – Favre, he’s still a better QB then Brady Quinn
Pittsburgh Steelers-Ben Roethlisberger

AFC SOUTH

Houston Texans-Favre
Indianapolis Colts-Peyton Manning
Jacksonville Jaguars-Another tough one, but I’ll go with Favre
Tennessee Titans-Vince Young

AFC WEST

Denver Broncos-Jay Cutler
Kansas City Chiefs-Favre
Oakland Raiders-Jamarcus Russell
San Diego Chargers-Phillip Rivers


NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys-Tony Romo
New York Giants-Eli Manning
Philadelphia Eagles-Donovan Mcnabb
Washington Redskins-Favre

NFC NORTH

Chicago Bears-Favre
Detroit Lions-Favre
Minnesota Vikings-Favre

NFC SOUTH

Atlanta Falcons-Michael Vick
Carolina Panthers-Jake Delhomme
New Orleans Saints-Drew Brees
Tampa Bay Bucs-Favre

NFC WEST

Arizona Cardinals-Matt Leinart
St. Louis Rams-Matt Bulger
San Francisco 49ers-I’ll surprise you with this one, Alex Smith
Seattle Seahawks-Matt Hasselbeck

Of all the NFL quarterbacks, I feel that there are 17 better quarterbacks then Favre. I am not demeaning his career or taking anything away from Favre, but he is on the tail end of a great career. Physically, he still has the tools to be a pretty good quarterback, but does not have enough weapons to lead the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl. His ideal situation to win another Super Bowl is the Chicago Bears. They have all the pieces necessary to win except a QB. I feel that he is still a better QB then Rex Grossman. Favre has not been able to change himself from a gunslinger into a smarter QB who plays within the offense. He has still shown glimpses of greatness, but is now just a turnover machine.
