It has been 2 days, but.....

I'm already over Brett Farve. He has proven in his 18 plus seasons, that he doesn't know his own color jersey when throwing the ball. He will drag this one on out, and he will come back, only to throw as many INT's as TD's. Hang it up Brett. It's better for you, and all your Fantasy Jock holders!

I was over him in Green Bay. He's got two years left on his contract with the Jets, but with Mangini getting canned, it's probably going to be primarily up to the new coach (moreso than the GM/owner) if Favre stays. I don't think he'll hang it up voluntarily yet, but if the Jets buy him out, I bet he'll retire quietly.

13 million bucks is a little too much for a quarterback who leads the league in interceptions imo.

Yeah, but do you take a brief financial ass raping, or do you let this bullshit go on for two more years?

Financial ass raping? Brett Favre might be the greatest thing ever to happen to the Jets franchise!

Very true. That and I think as a whole, he helped the team out. You can't blame the QB for everything.

I think getting rid of Mangini was a bad idea as well.

Of all the coaches that got canned this season, I was actually a little surprised to see Mangini go. And I agree, you can't blame Favre for everything. The offensive line and the receivers justly deserve some of the blame, as well. BUT... the fact remains, I really think it's past Favre's time. I don't think he's ever going to be considered a Jets franchise player. But you can't pay him based on his career. He's had a great career, and I'm not going to dispute that. BUT... the Jets need to consider what he's done for them in 2008. And the answer is, besides some extra media coverage, not a whole lot.

They unloaded a ton of cash on their offensive line. They brought in plenty of protection. The QB they decided to let go will be playing this weekend, as the QB they picked up will be once again sitting on the sidelines. I love Farve, I take that back, loved him. Now every offseason is about him and returning, when we know he doesn't understand when to hang it up. The Jets are better off letting him go and try to find the diamond in the rough, ( Matt Cassell) then they are sitting on Farve's coat tails. He really has never been the win me a game in the 4th QB. He tries his bull shit that works 30% of the time. ( That is what we used to see on Sportscenter) Now they show the same bullshit as a failure. That gives you an idea where he should be!
