Comments on: ESPN: Favre to Jets http://packergeeks.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/espn-favre-to-jets/ All Things Green Bay Packers Fri, 17 May 2013 23:13:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: RayMidge http://packergeeks.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/espn-favre-to-jets/#comment-2854 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:22:36 +0000 http://packergeeks.wordpress.com/?p=1373#comment-2854 All things considered (this whole situation being a total mess) I think TT did a pretty good job. When the saga began the conventional wisdom was that Favre would get released and/or be able to direct himself to the Vikes. To be able to trade him to the AFC where he will have zero impact on the Pack’s season or playoff chances and to get what is most likely a 3rd or 2nd rounder isn’t any sort of genius deal, but considering all of the speculation, actually a pretty decent return. I don’t think the part about trading him to a non-West coast offense in the other conference can be discounted. Favre had much more value to a team that could’ve plugged him right in to a system he was familiar with. The much maligned management stuck to their guns and actually did about as well as could have been expected.

All of that said, it’s a bizarre and sad day . . . even though the transaction was about as favorable as the Pack was going to get under the circumstances, it’s a shame #4 couldn’t find it in him to return to the Pack.

I can’t believe that this has happened. And I wish that he would have taken some time to sit and think about if he really wants this.

I also wish I knew what was really going on with him. Because the Brett Favre we’ve been seeing for the past month is the Brett Favre we’ve seen for the past 16 years.
