The Favre Factor

I hate to disagree with Wlady about anything, but I think he's wrong about Brett Favre. You're talking about the most durable quarterback to play the game and one with the most natural swagger. I think he retired and realized that being a quarterback is the most important thing to him.

The J-E-T-S will N-O-T rue the day they made this move because Favre is a massive upgrade (even if not at his best) over anything they had coming up for this season. Kellen Clemens? Injury-prone Chad? He's also going to have a pretty darn good coach with Eric Mangini.

Great move for the Jets. Thomas Jones and Laveranues Coles are excited.
