Favre a Raider?

[bengalboomer7]

At the beginning of this year I brought up how I thought Favre could ressurect his career in someplace like Oakland. I was worked over pretty hard for that statement, and now Whitlock steals my idea, which firther proves I should have his job

10. Just so John Madden and all the other Brett Favre worshippers/broadcasters don't have to find another church, I present to you the solution to Favre's troubles: Trade Favre to Oakland.

Favre's QB rating of 70.5 entering the final game is the lowest of his career.

Seriously, Favre would look perfect in Silver and Black, winging the ball to Randy Moss while Al Davis looks on from the owner's suite wondering if he could somehow add Ricky Williams to the mix.

I've given this a lot of thought. Al wouldn't be able to add Sticky-ickee Ricky because the Dolphins are the other team that should enter the Favre sweepstakes, and Sticky-ickee Ricky would be the trade bait to lure Favre.

But if my dream were to come true, the Raiders would add another NFL bad boy as Favre's backup -- Jeff George. Yes, Jeff, 38, still wants to play.

Look, next year the Raiders have to be all about feeding the ball to Randy Moss. This year Randy has career lows in TD catches (six), catches of 40-plus yards (three) and first-down receptions (40). His career highs in those categories are 17, 14 and 76.

The Raiders are not getting their money's worth out of Moss because Kerry Collins is a mediocre quarterback.

Favre can still get it done, still has enthusiasm for the game, and he certainly would love to throw the ball to Moss. At age 36, Favre would need a backup who could keep Moss happy if Favre were to get injured. Enter George, arguably Moss' favorite quarterback.

The key to pulling this all together would be the right coach. Norv Turner ain't the guy. But it's safe to assume he's getting canned. Denny Green is the perfect coach, but he's stuck in Arizona.

Mike Martz?

I'm not joking. Moss plus Favre plus Martz plus George plus Al Davis would be the greatest reality TV show since "The Real World" San Francisco. That was the season when the show just threw away any pretense of being remotely realistic and let Puck terrorize an AIDS patient.

If the Raiders never won a game, you'd still want to see them on Sunday and "Monday Night Football" every week. You think a Favre Raiders jersey wouldn't be the hottest-selling piece of merchandise in the history of pro football?

What would Oakland have to give up to get Favre? Well, the Packers might ask for something stupid, such as receiver Jerry Porter. You don't give up Porter. Favre has thrown 28 interceptions this year. He's 36. The Packers have a quarterback of the future -- Aaron Rodgers -- sitting on their bench.

You give up a conditional 2007 draft pick, which could go as high as a No. 1 if the Raiders reach the playoffs in 2006 and Favre starts 12 regular-season games. Or maybe Favre is worth a No. 2 in the 2006 draft.

Hey, I'm not an NFL GM. I don't know what it will cost. It could get complicated if the Dolphins show interest and dangle Ricky Williams at the Packers.

I just wish Favre would go away. I like the guy, but he isn't the same guy as he used to be. He makes horrible decisions, and it is finally catching up to him.

[Whur CHad At?]

I agree with Rover...Farve has been great but I am sick of him. Time for him to retire..and let the Packers move on. Kind of like the Nebraska-Mich. game fiasco, I am sick of hearing about it!

[Stripes]

I'll be disappointed if Favre doesn't call it quits after this season. This has gone on long enough. It was different when Jerry Rice dragged his career on as a receiver just trying to make small contributions to any team available, but Favre is a starting quarterback. He doesn't have that luxury.

Brett Favre, you are one of the best, if not the BESTE quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. You need to retire like I need to stop driniingn, and I need to stop drinkingn.

Let me rephrase this so it's more accurate...

Brett Favre, you WERE one of the best, if the the BESTE Quarterbacks in the recent history of the NFL. You need to retire like I need to stop Drinking, and I need to stop drinking.

[bengalindian]

Haha, sorry about that.

[The_Next_Big_Thing]

Haha, sorry about that.

If Favre sticks around and has another horrible year, he could just lose his HOF chances. His entire career, he has been overrated. He has never had a QB rating over 100 his entire career. He has been prone to throw the ball away his entire career, and has thrown more than 20 picks in 1 out of 3 seasons he has had.

I was looking at a collection of his stats year by year and I was noticing the same things.

He WAS a good QB, and if he sticks around next year he will still be a first ballot HOFer.

I agree I never thought he was the second coming or anything like Madden, etc.

How would you rate these 10 QBS???

Elway, Marino, Montana, Favre, Young, Kelly, Moon, Tarkenton, Staubach, Starr.......
