Brett Favre Traded to the New York Jets

[quote comment="31142"]I really like this trade for the JEts. Only my opinion. Let me know what you think of this write up.

Offense

They completely revamped there guard position with some of the best in the business- Woody and Fanaca they have mangold as there center brikashaw as one of there takcles so brett will be taken care of without question..
They have Dustin Keller and bretts packer TE Bubba Franks. They have Jerrico Cotchry, who will have a breakout season without a doubt, pro-bowl type player in LaVernous Coles and not to mention fast stuckny or brad smith as there third wide out you know how Jennsings was to brett . Smith or Stuckny is brett this year coming as the third out. THey will have a solid running game with Thomas JOnes, 1 year under the system, and Leon Washington.

Defense

Drafted a hybrid player in the first round and will make a huge impact. SOlid at the corner postion with revis, last years pick, and Justin milliar who might have a good season. Kris Jenkins, will be conditioned and injury-free ,probably, and Sedrick Ellis are both pro-bowl type players. David Harris is a STUD Most people didn’t like the Vilma trade ,but if you compare Harris numbers to other LB such as a sacks, tackels you may re-question your opinion on the trade. Granted alot of people are saying the only way Harris had the year he did his rookie year was,because of the way the offense watched Vilma. Since I’m from michigan and watched Harris play you’ll get the same player like his rookie year every season,hopefully.

Special team- Mike Knugent is money.

My prediction for the season they can go 13-3 or 12-4

losses- Patriots(2 times) Reason- Revis is great ,but if he locks on Moss who going to cover Jackson, Welker, or Gaffney, and that doesn’t include the TE or the backs

Charages- LT,

(Possible loss) Seahawks- Holmgrem

They lose a 4th round pick and possible depening on Bretts Performance a second round pick. But with the draft being stacked with good and taented QB’s and Corner. To this up and coming draft class is like Gas prices are $1.30 you can get what you want, the jets, at a cheap price.

Then again, if Brett were to get “MADDEN CURSE” FORGET EVERYTHING I SAID HERE and do not ever listen to my opinions.[/quote]

12-4?! 13-3?! Now granted, I like what the Jets did during the offseason (very 06-07 Flyers/07-08 TB Lightning if anyone follows hockey…very aggressive free agency period), but 12 wins?!? I seriously doubt 12 wins will happen with the short amount of time Favre has to learn the system and the actual talent on the offensive side of the ball. The AFC is too tough for a team like the Jets to get 12 wins. Is a 9-7 season or a 10-6 season a possibility? Of course…They’re facing the NFC West. But a 12-4 or 13-3 season with the talent the Jets have is crazy…great O-line and HOF QB or not.

Let’s break it down:
at Miami – W
vs NE – L
at SD – L
vs AZ – W
vs CIN – W (Possibly…that could go either way really)
at OAK – W
vs KC – W
at BUF – L
vs STL – W
at NE – L
at TEN – L (Possibly..I’d like to see the Titans defense against the Jets O-line…that should be a good matchup that day.)
vs DEN – W
at SF – W
vs BUF – W
at SEA – L
vs MIA – W

Looks like a 10-6 season to me…possibly 11-5 (I don’t think I’m too far off with the schedule though. The Titans may pull out the win, I gave the Bills their home game, and I think Seattle is a more complete football team). Either way, it should be close enough for the Jets to earn a Wild Card spot in the playoffs. They’re facing a very weak division in the NFC West, which will help the new Favre-led Jets.

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!!!!!! (LOL) me being a dolphin fan i hate the trade, but love to watch brett favre play . its really funny how all these people make these predictions about teams and records they might have.no-one knows for sure football is so unpredictable (giants -patriots playofffs and SB) and for all of you that say you knew that the giants were gonna win the SB you are lying. another example jags @ steelers. 3 TIMES!!!! like i said football is unpredictable anybody can be beat at any time.

one thing i for got to mention, how about the cowboys -giants in the playoffs? dallas clearly has more talent and was the better team. with that being said football is so unpredictable. dont base your opinions from last years team or what team got who from the free agent market. wins cannot be bought period. look at the redskins for years they were spending tons of cash in the free agent market on tons of talent and it got them nothing but a high salry cap. even the supposed elite teams lose to mediocre teams every now and them. texans did beat the colts if my memory is correct . anybody can be beat at anytime.

i think that he will without a doubt help the jets however i still dont think they can make a super bowl run right now i think chad pennington will end up in kansas city though

I hope he throws 30 INT and 14 TD. I can’t stand this guy.

the Jets have many holes still and there will be too much pressure on him with a mediocre offense. My prediction is 7-9 at best. They will continue to get swept by the Bills and Pats and the rest of the AFC is waaaaay too tough. Good move by NY but optimism will meet realism soon J-E-T-S fans.

Favre will make the Jets a better madden team then they were before. As far as contending in the AFC? Since the playoffs are single elimination you never know what is going to happen but I can’t see them reaching the Superbowl. I do think they will make the playoffs though.

[quote comment="31161"]i think that he will without a doubt help the jets however i still dont think they can make a super bowl run right now i think chad pennington will end up in kansas city though[/quote]

i would love for chad pennington to end up in KC…pennington has gotten bashed so much in his career and he has merely been one of the most accurate qb in the leagues every year he has played…and he has been money in the red zone (i think his first career turnover in the red zone happened last year)…as a chiefs fan give me pennington any day of the week…

haha…the jets aren’t the bad of a team…they certainly aren’t super bowl contenders and may not even when their division, though says more about the patriots than it does the jets…that being said…THE PACKERS OVER-ACHIEVED LAST YEAR…i fail to see how anyone else has not mentioned that…that is a major factor in the reason why we are here at this junction in the first place…brett favre knew it…the green bay brass knew it…and that combined with the fact that the packers need to know what they have in rodgers before they commit too him with a long-term contract or risk losing him in free agency, the packers wanted to see brett go…and in a way, brett knew that coming back the team would probably not be as good as they were the previous year…are the jets a better team? maybe or maybe not…they certainly have some very good players already on the roster and they definitely have a weaker schedule (other than the aforementioned patriots twice a year)…but for the most part…if the packers have brett favre, the fans are expecting a super bowl…if the jets have favre, fans are expected a playoff run…and i am pretty sure that the jets have discussed with brett the possibility of sticking around for 2-3 years already or they wouldn’t even have made this move…bottom line is any team that wasn’t in complete re-building mode has a chance to successful this year with brett around…and the ny fans will adore brett and he knows it…the guy just wants to be wanted and be successful…is that too much to ask?

Fellow Jets fans today is a day to celebrate baby!! Im so pumped I cant wait for Madden and the regular season to begin with Brett Favre baby YEA!!!!

Great, the Jets play the Rams this year. Here I thought it would be an easy win….

The Jets are still only the third best team in their own DIVISION! With or without Favre.

1. Pats
2. Bills
3. Jets
4. Dolphins.

pennington will be released at 4 PM today i think he has 2 choices minnesota or kansas city i would say chicago but apparently they want chris simms i heard they loved him comin out of texas

Favre drops back to pass, hes looking left for Coles but wait….What is this? His knee ,it has deteriorated into dust right there on the field. His age has finally caught up to him here in the forth quarter. But wait he is crawling around behind the line and he has just thrown an underhand granny pass to Thomas Jones who has broken a tackle and scored a touchdown. The Jets win! Wow, Brett is just like a kid out there playing ball like it was the schoolyard and he was buried up to his knees in sand.

Postgame coming up!

Barf…Go Bills!

i think this helps a lot but we will probably finish the season 10-6 if not then 11-5 no beter than that we can maybe beat the patriots once next season and pasta will the roster update be avalable first day…. i cant wait to play with favre and my jets

Bret is defiantly and upgrade from what the Jets had in general. I pretty sure they will design new plays around Bret but having him get comfortable with the offensive players is still going to take time. They will have a better record than last year but then again that’s not saying much.

Favre will always be a Packer to me. This whole situation sucked and I’m glad it’s finally over. It will be interesting playing the Jets in madden with my beloved Packers.

I can’t wait to play the Jets online as they should be a “trendy” type team to use. IMO, skill positions like WR and RB do more damage in videogame football unless the QB is fast (which last time I checked, Favre was not) and my BUFFALO BILLS WILL CONTINUE TO SWEEP ‘EM IN REAL LIFE AND ON THE VIRTUAL FIELD BABY!!!!!

New England 14-2
Buffalo Bills 10-6
N.Y. Jets 7-9 (before 8/6……5-11)
Miami 3-13

i fail to see how anyone outside of buffalo honestly believes that the bills are a good team…they had a grand total of one win versus a winning team last year…and were 2-9 against teams who won more than 5 games last season…hate to break the news to you…that’s not good…and being that they haven’t exactly added great talent to the team this off-season…i am dumbfounded as to how anyone could possibly think that they could repeat that performance of 7 wins a year ago…i’m not claiming that the jets are super bowl bound or any nonsense like that…but clearly with brett favre (not to mention the addition of two pro-bowlers on the o-line) this team is superior to the bills…to say the least…

Superior?

You mean a Bills team that won 7 games despite having the largest I.R. in the entire NFL last year? You mean the team that has a 2nd year QB and 2nd year RB who are continuing to gel on a daily basis? You mean the team that added a legit big target WR in James Hardy? You mean the team that will finally have a healthy MLB (who as a rookie was leading the NFL in tackles when he broke his arm) and a top flight CB/return man in McKelvin?

That team?

I doubt the Jets are superior to THAT team.

The one thing people forget is that Favre has the “X” factor. He knows how to win and he plays with passion. These are two things that will impact the Jets’ locker room.

I remember when Montana went to the Chiefs (although under totally different circumstances) everyone said the same thing. “Joe won’t make a difference, he is past his prime.”, etc….Although the Chiefs never made the Super Bowl, Montana definitely made a huge difference and the Chiefs were contenders.

Favre will help the Jets although I agree that the AFC is loaded. In my opinion, the Pack made a mistake and they proved that they felt he could still play by not allowing his outright release fearing he would sign with Minnesota. If the Packers’ front office felt that Favre’s good days were behind him they would have let him go.

Also, does sdot have a job??? If you’re not first, who cares????

Steamontheboat… do your research before you start talking trash.
A. The Packers have not always been a pass first team. The entire time Mike Sherman was there, they were a first team(which annoyed the sh#t out of me since they couldn’t run well…or Green would fumble) this all actually attributed to his int’s … because they were so shitty running the ball and playing from behind…Favre would have to carry the team and sometimes force a throw. I also have watched every Packer game for the last 5 years and can say without a doubt that 75 percent of his picks in that time were blown routes by his receivers.(The only permanent fixture we’ve had is Driver. Everyone else was a plugin)…and this is not to say that those 25 weren’t bonehead throwss…cause some of them were…but when you’re throwing 25-35 time in the second half of a game when your down, because your coach suck a@@… you’re gonna throw some ducks.

BTW…his int to pass attempt ratio is right on par with the Elways, Unitas’, Bradshaws, Aikmens’… he only has more ints because he has more passes…he is no more of a pick specialist than any other QB in Football…

[quote comment="31124"]damn being a bills fan this sucks we have to play farve 2 games out of the season even though well still prolly sweep him this year…..[/quote]

why does it suck!?! this means more interceptions for your lacjluster secondary

THANK GOD FAVRE IS NOT A BUCCANEER

Ted Thompson can so *^*^* himself. The worst thing to happen to the Packers. He has single handedly soiled the Packers legacy of being a classy, no nonesence organization…. forcing Brett out….being unwilling to trade him somewhere to his liking…not releasing him…trying to bribe him to stay retired(I have no idea why the players union is not doing anything about that)…feeding the media bullshit… TT repulses me… I love my Pack, but it will be bittersweet watching them until he is gone!

EA WONT MAKE NEW COVERS
