walzav29 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 1 year deal?He knows the West Coast offense, and it gives Dalton a little time to develope. If Dalton had all the mini-camps etc. I'd say start him, but it's going to be too much for this young offense. The problem I see with it is the way to take out Favre is to try and kill him. Baltimore and Pittsburgh are very good at that. If I look at the options at signing a veteran. These names make me sickBilly VolekJeff GarciaBruce GradkowskiMatt MooreMatt LeinartI'd take Marc Bulger. What are your thought? Would anyone want to deal with the Favre circus? I think the defense is going to be great, and with a running game to go along with Chad, Simpson, Greshem, Shipley, and AJ Green. Seems like alot of weapons. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Not just no, but HELL NO! This can't even be a serious thought for crissakes! Quote
HoosierCat Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Well, I'm in the "start Dalton" camp so I would say no to Favre.But if you're in the "sign and start a vet QB" camp, and if Favre really is interested in a 5th unretirement, then I think you at least have to kick his tires. He has shown that he can go from one team to another and still have success, which is more than guys like McNabb or Gradkowski, both of whose names have been bandied about as potential Bengal hires, can say.

walzav29 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Posted July 7, 2011 I am a big Dalton fan. I just don't want to ruin the guy. I'm saying if my choices are Jordan Palmer, Dan LaFevour, or Brett Favre. I'll take Favre. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I'm all in with the "start Dalton" camp.No to Favre...Maybe Kitna would like another shot at developing a young guy.I think I just threw up in my mouth. Quote
COB Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Sign Favre for league minimum, then use him in camp as the QB while our linebackers practice blitz packages. Film it all as Favre gets repeatedly crushed, then put the whole thing up on the Bengals website on a pay per view basis. Mike makes a load of cash, Favre gets permanently crippled which is apparently what he wants, and and our defense gets used to tearing someone apart. Quote
Stripes Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Walzav, you're a good man but I hate you so much right now. Quote
walzav29 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Posted July 7, 2011 Walzav, you're a good man but I hate you so much right now.Look gentleman. We need to come up with a consensus. I hate rebuilding years. I like to have hope at least for a moment in a season. Dalton is my guy, but learning while missing all of the minicamps and a new offense is being installed? Seems difficult. Jordan Palmer sucks. Carson is dead to me. I'm open to suggestions. Quote
HairOnFire Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Walzav, you're a good man but I hate you so much right now. To show the proper respect for Walzav's Brett Favre thread....(wait for it).....I just unzipped my pants. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I hate rebuilding years..And you are still a Bengals fan ??I've learned to embrace rebuilding years.They are usually the ones that hold the most promise at the beginning of a season. Quote
cincyhokie Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I hate rebuilding years..And you are still a Bengals fan ??I've learned to embrace rebuilding years.They are usually the ones that hold the most promise at the beginning of a season.You know I was thinking about that earlier when there was some talk of the reasons to give up season tickets. I gave them up. Apparently others(the ones I listened to on sports talk)are still holding "in case what if we miss something great?". My answer is miss what? Since 2005 when I got my tickets I have seen a division championship, a sink to mediocrity, a further sink to crapiness, a rise to a AFCN title, then back to crap again. Tell me again, what am I missing? I've seen it all!This team will do nothing more in the next 6 years than I have already seen them do in the past 6 years at PBS. Nothing I can't see from my couch...with a remote....so I can change the channel if need be.Rebuilding year? Bengal fans created that term. Should be used to it. Quote
volcom69 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Count me in with starting Dalton! Get the ground game going, take the pressure off of Dalton.O-line needs to get back to the 09 style of physical game play, time to pound the ball againWho knows maybe if they back to running the ball again, it will get the defense back in the top 10 again I dont see much success for this year as it is, so give Dalton the reps, but get back to pounding the ball to help Dalton out.

HoosierCat Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 Favre to Philly?/>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/23/report-eagles-interested-in-brett-favre/ Quote
skyline Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Funny, I came to this board expecting to see some talk about the possibility of going after McNabb for one season. Favre never even crossed my mind.Forget the fact that I want nothing to do with the aged one...I'm guessing he'd never consider coming here, anyway. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 And now...Miami?/>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/04/the-favre-watch-is-on-in-miami/ Quote
Kazkal Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 I'll pass I rather go 4-12 with Andy Dalton then I would 9-7 and be one and done in the playoffs...I didn't like sitting carson his rookie year and I don't want to see Dalton sit he needs experiace so he'll be more ready for next. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Wonder what they would offer for Palmer ??Nevermind, we will never know... Quote

walzav29 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Posted August 5, 2011 I hope Dalton is ready. I really do. I am going to the game next Friday, and I can't wait. If he isn't ready, and they are going to sit him be design. I would rather see Brett Favre than Bruce Gradkowski. They won't sign Favre, so it's not an issue. Favre for just the 2011 season would make for a fun season. Remember. I'm saying if Dalton isn't ready. Now crucify me gentleman. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 So...apparently 700 wlw is peddling the rumor that Farve has been sighted in town today.I'm betting it's BS but figured I'd note it just in case... Quote
COB Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Favre in town? Attention Pumpkin: Block picture messages from Brett Favre's phone ASAP. Quote
HairOnFire Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 So...apparently 700 wlw is peddling the rumor that Farve has been sighted in town today. Rumor has it Brett Farve was spotted, with his trouser fly wide open, while standing at the intersection of Paddock and Vine, beneath the big Indian sign. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Rumor has it that Favre had surgery and they replaced his legs with bionic ones.Since he knew there would be no way in hell the Bengals o-line could protect him, he figured it was the only way to survive there at his age. Quote
