Favre to the Texans?

[ArlingtonTexan]

In terms of running a similiar offense yes, bt making sense for the organization, not so much.

[Nconroe]

Absolutely a bad idea for any team. Farve has been pretty bad last several years, ok, last year better than previous several, just luck. He needs to retire. He was good in what was it, 1993, not 2008.

[TheMatrix31]

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!

I don't want that attention whore on my team. Go retire and STAY retired, Brett!

[KJ3]

c'mon....this is espn taking the deadest part of the sports calendar and finding something to cling to. espn is like a manipulative girlfriend, sucking the life out of anything it can. hey espn, it isn't breaking news after 4 or 5 hours....or days....it's only breaking news once...

While what you say might be generally true, this particular story came from NFLnetwork.

[KJ3]

ouchie for nfln. although it is football related and their whole programming is football related and this has probably been their only story in 2 months...

besides, it's not like espn is looking around for more stories haha...they've settled squarely in the asscrack between the packers and brett favre.

these national networks need to keep somebody, who views football through a pair of goggles known as common sense, in every city so they can just call them up right before they say something stupid to find out if what they are saying is silly or not.

JUST LUCK?

Favre 2007 stats
RAT 95.7 YARDS 4155 TD 28 INT 15
Takes Green Bay to the NFC Champoinship game while surrounded by arguably less talent than any other playoff team and comes up just 3 pionts shy of beating eventual World Champion NY Giants and going to the SUPERBOWL! JUST LUCK?

Matt Schaub 2007 STATS
RAT 87.2 YDS 2,241 TD 9 INT 9

Sage Rosenfels 2007 STATS
RAT 84.8 YDS 1,684 TD 15 INT 12

Favre hasnt missed a game since 1993. Thats 16 games a year for 15 years. Some of you need to get a grip on youre perspective of this team. You are all feeling a little to warm and fuzzy about the Texans. I have high hopes to but cmon man, if we have a chance to get one of the premier QB's of the last 15 years we should jump all over it. Yeh were building a winner here and going about the right way but the QB position is the most important position there is.

You really think Shaub would mind being tudored by a HOF QB for the next couple of years? Do you honestly believe Favres presence would harm this teams growth? One of the beggest question marks about this team is whether or not Schaub is ready/capable of being the leader of this team. He (Shaub) could learn from one of if not the best leaders the NFL has ever had.

We dont know for sure if Shaub can last a whole year. Sage is a FA after next year. Do you honestly think he'll be back? I know it wont happen but if you could get Favre for a 3rd or 4th round pick or even for Sage, DO IT NOW!

Following two bad years. The picks used to get him will be better than him in 3 seasons.

[ArlingtonTexan]

If i truly thought the texans were a Qb away from being a superbowl team it would be worth it. Outside of that, the texans need to find out if Schaub is a legitimate starting NFL QB, and they can't do that with Schaub spending time as understudying for another year or two.

I dont see Favre giving the Texans any better chance to goto the playoffs this year than either of our QB's. He may have been a great QB, but this team needs stability in the positions we have good players and concentration and growth in the areas that are weak. Not shakup for the sake of bringing in a legend.

If I was a fan of teams like the Packers, Carolina, Minnesota, Chicago and a few other that a QB like Farve could put us over the cusp then maybe, but still you get 1-2 years from him. It makes no sense.

It is also a matter of our FO's mentality, which is not spend big and win now. Kubiak is a coach that wants to build a team to win for years and is willing to take some time to make it happen. He isnt instant about instant gratification.

[nunusguy]

McGinn writes that a source said Favre had continued to use a Packers-issued cell phone and that when the team checked the phone records it found “repeated calls to coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.”
The possibility of Favre having used a phone issued by the Packers had been speculated on last week after the Associated Press reported that Green Bay informed the NFL it felt “an investigation of the phone records would show more than ‘normal contact’ between the Vikings and Favre, even before he formally asked for his release to play for another team.”

I dunno, is Brett not sneeky enough or not smart enough ? Better use your own phone next time you try to work out a deal on the side there Brettster.

that's exactly the problem homie, we would be getting brett favre at 38 not brett favre "of the last 15 years". and averaged out, his last handful of years have been not-so great.

You really think Shaub would mind being tudored by a HOF QB for the next couple of years?

yes, he was promised a starting job.

Do you honestly believe Favres presence would harm this teams growth?

without question yes. you think the players opinion of favre's little kicking and screaming ordeal of the last few weeks has gone over well with anyone?

One of the beggest question marks about this team is whether or not Schaub is ready/capable of being the leader of this team. He (Shaub) could learn from one of if not the best leaders the NFL has ever had.

it's a question mark because we haven't seen enough. as in: we need to see more schaub. besides, favre seemed like an awesome mentor to aaron rodgers...

We dont know for sure if Shaub can last a whole year.

what makes you think a 38 year old with 27 seasons of football on his body can? just because he did it last year and 26 seasons before that? that won't mean anything to anybody on the field.

Sage is a FA after next year. Do you honestly think he'll be back? I know it wont happen but if you could get Favre for a 3rd or 4th round pick or even for Sage, DO IT NOW!

favre for sage, eh? that's cool. i'm fine with favre the backup. except that he gets paid 12 mil or something ridiculous.

According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the Texans are one of eight team the Packers thinks are possible trading partners in a deal for Favre.

GREEN BAY — As the Green Bay Packers wait to see whether Brett Favre will indeed file his reinstatement papers with the NFL, the club is working its way through a list of teams it sees as potential trading partners for the sort-of-retired quarterback.

According to a league source, the teams on that list include the New York Jets, the Baltimore Ravens, the Miami Dolphins and the Houston Texans in the AFC and the Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons and Washington Redskins in the NFC.

I cant wait to see Favre in steel blue! (in the wheel chair guy on familly guys voice) LETS DO THIS....YEAH!!!

[Keith]

Well, don't pin your hopes on it. I don't have any linkage on this, so take it fwiw... unsubstantiated interweb chatter... but word is when the Packers called the Texans about a trade, the Texans said no.

Probably not a surprising answer, either.

[cadams]

Man, I just don't see this happening. I don't think this is the direction that Smith and Kubiak really want to go, especially with Sage still at the backup. Also, I am not sure I would like this move either. I can't imagine GB would give him away, and the Texans need thier draft picks.

Look at the talent level he has played with the last 3 years. Then consider what he accomplished last year, "homie".

Thats the problem. He should have to earn a starting job not be promissed it. If we got Favre and Shaub outplayed him fine.

in what way?

Show me one single report that another player thinks less of Favre for wanting to come back. Only people like you and the Media are of the opinion that Favre is kicking and screaming. Its really been blown out of porportion.

He would have to stay on the field for us to see more of him.

If he is better than Schaub why should he be the backup?

consider what he accomplished last year with a great field of talent around him? so his team has to be good or he doesn't show up? consider it considered.

Thats the problem. He should have to earn a starting job not be promissed it. If we got Favre and Shaub outplayed him fine.

maybe so...but that doesn't change the fact that it's still schaub's job. if he didn't lose it to sage, favre shouldn't even be a concern.

in what way?

Show me one single report that another player thinks less of Favre for wanting to come back. Only people like you and the Media are of the opinion that Favre is kicking and screaming. Its really been blown out of porportion.

i have to have an article for that? for cereal? people generally dislike temper tantrums, so i have to assume nfl players are people and that favre IS throwing himself a pity-party...so put one and one together. it makes eleven. my guess is the packers lockerroom isn't a field of daisies right now.

He would have to stay on the field for us to see more of him.

so you agree? more playing time for schaub. because he was damn good while on the field, devoid of any sort of weapon-type player no less.




why am i even keeping this up? favre to the texans: bum-dum pshhhhhh!! favre using a packer cell phone to call the vikings: bum-dum pshhhhhH!! brett favre is a 4 year old girl crossing her arms and stomping the ground. you know what bad little children need? a good shutting the f up.

Great field of talent? Whatever!

Just because he didnt loose it to a career backup he shouldnt have to earn his spot?

Yes show me an article or even one single quote from a current player that as a problem with what is going on with Favre. While youre at it please explain how hes throwing a temper tantrum. Ridiculous!!!!So he retired and now hes changed his mind. Big effen deal like its never happened before with any other player. You are basically making the tantrum part up because you think it makes youre argument look better. Sad!!

Really, Favre was damn better with about the same amount of help.

Favre didnt have a cell phone that belonged to the Packers. More made up crap by the media to doll up their story. Kinda like youre version where he is throwing a "tantrum". bum-dum pshhhhhH!!
