Place your Brett: Favre to Washington Redskins rumor won't die

The amount of money I'm willing to bet that Brett Favre will be a Washington Redskins next season = zero, pending some really alluring odds that could make me rich rich rich so long as I box it with equally unlikely scenarios such as the Patriots sacking Tate Glasscock in the endzone to ultimately win 8-6. What am I talking about? Glasscock.

The only reason I mention this Brett Favre to Redskins nonsense is because it is now the 2nd time I've heard it, though don't ask me to recall from whence it came in the first. All I know is, an anonymous gambling entity (I call him Gamblor!) known only as "LazerWager" makes the case in strong terms. See for yourself:

While most sports journalist and radio hosts are hyping the Minnesota Vikings as Favre's next team, LazerWager suggests the Washington Redskins are the perfect fit for Favre's return this year. 'Favre has too much respect for his former teammates and fans to join a rival from the NFC North. And the Packers don't want to face him two times this season,' stated DelGato.

Washington's roster provides plenty of targets in Chris Cooley, Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El. All three receivers caught 50 passes or more for at least 700 yards, even with Jason Cambell and Todd Collins splitting time at the quarterback position.

One might go on to say especially with Todd Collins splitting time at quarterback as he was a full 2 yards an attempt better than JC last year, which may not sound like much but is a magical number of magnitude that also partially distinguishes the career of Joe Montana from that of Chuck Fusina. Who knew?

None of which is said to dog Jason Campbell, or Chuck Fusina for that matter, but let's not forget that Todd Collins was very much the cause and not a hinderance of having three receiving targets accomplish arbitrary goals that may interest only those of us who write Redskins blogs as a hobby.

More than what Santana Moss, Antwaan Randle El, and Cooley accomplished, the devil or angel on Favre's shoulder shouldn't forget that we also drafted a few really tall, really hyped kids in Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly. Brett loves to throw passes into coverage and against many nickel and dime backs that won't necessarily hurt him so long as the people on the receiving end are as large, strong, and sure-handed as two of our 2nd round picks. Fred Davis? He's not small.

Although I think rumors of Favre-to-Washington are greatly exaggerated, don't interpret my repeating them as evidence of me wanting Jason Campbell anywhere but as the starting QB of the Redskins. Like Tandler, I have my questions in Re: Campbell, but remain optimistic that he's the player who serves to gain the most from having Head Coach and former QB and former QB Coach Jim Zorn tending shop. My concerns with Jim Zorn do not involve his ability to develop zee quarterbacks, a skill he's proven almost beyond reproach, but rather with ability to captain the entire ship, for which he's as proven as this author.

Hey so what about that Brett Favre guy, yea?

Farve

It is of my opionion that Brett Farve is one of the most overhyped players in NFL history. I’m not a hater and he’s my second favorite QB behind one Sammy Baugh. The reason that Brett is so appealing to fans is that he’ comes across very human and seem like on of us. He heroically played through the pain of his father passing, and admission to an addiction to pain killers, and his wife surviving cancer. Those things combined with his all out play put him in a lot of peoples top 3 QB’s. He’s not in my top 3 QB’s ever to play the game but up there in favorite players…I think people get favorite & best players confused. You like the man because of his Iron man streak but I don’t want him starting for my Redskins.

LazerWager said ‘Favre has too much respect for his former teammates and fans to join a rival from the NFC North. And the Packers don’t want to face him two times this season,’ stated DelGato. Really?? I don’t agree. If Farve really respected the Packers, fans, the poor Aaron Rodgers we would come out and publicly say “I’m not coming back and or I still/ don’t want to play ball.” Again I like the Farve and no he doesn’t have to do anything, but sometimes doing nothing speaks louder then doing something.

Brett Farve coming to the Redskins would be stupid. It’s the equivalent of an mid-season MLB trade IE: Farve would be a rental, and not on our team for more then 2 years. I would totally dismiss this rumor except for the fact that our owner is Dan Snyder and prone to love the big splash so you really never know.

hes older than our o-line

adding favre to the team would be taking a step backwards. this is a crucial year for the development of campbell and he needs to gain relationships with his wr’s, te’s. favre would give us a chance for a year or two tops… campbell could give us a chance for the next 5 to 10. besides, packers suck.

rumors

to bad it ain’t gonna happen,as anyway you look at it.it would shock all to see Brett go freestyle on the rest of the division.He still can play and at a level higher than any current QB on the skins will ever see.Nobody goes for a ham sandwich when he steps in.

Retard

What the hell does it mean for Brett Farve to go freestyle? You clearly are stupid and the fact that I’m responding to your comment is a crime in it self. Nobody goes for a ham sandwich..wow. Get a some sort of tool and dig your head out of your ass

favre is not the answer

having favre for one year does nothing for the future of the skins… develop campbell. he could be the best qb in the nfc east this year…. manning got lucky, mcnabb is old and injured, romo is not going to repeat last year… i guarantee it.
