Favre throws Jets under the bus

Old No. 4 (you remember him, don't do?) didn't do the Jets any favors today when he suggested that his legendary right arm was in such bad shape at the end of last season that he should've been benched.

Brett Favre, speaking in his weekly news conference in Minnesota, said the Jets knew during the season that his right biceps tendon was torn. Reading Favre's quotes, it sounds like he wanted to sit down, but that the coaches and front office pushed him into playing.

This is a serious charge by Favre. He never was listed on the injury report by the Jets. (Gee, what a surprise, considering secretive Eric Mangini, who won't even reveal his starting QB in Cleveland, was in charge.) The league has strict rules on injury reports, and commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't like deception. That is a serious injury for a quarterback, and he's basically saying the Jets covered it up.

This topic came up today in Minnesota because reporters were asking Favre about his Iron Man streak of 269 consecutive starts and whether he'd be receptive to sitting if he got banged up.

"Absolutely. I was receptive to (sitting) last year," Favre said. "When we finally did an MRI and found out I had a torn biceps last year, I felt like, with about four or five games left, that even though I was making some pretty good throws and some decent plays, I felt like I was doing the team more harm because I was missing on some throws."

Bullshit, he just started playing like poo in the latter half as usual and was fortunate enough to have an injury come up to blame it on. How do we know he didn't injure it in the last game of the season after he already started his annual late season downward spiral. this guy is a fuging clown shoe, an A-1 me-first gimme gimme assclown. "I would've sat" bullshit Favre, bullshit.

Naturally he HAS to say this right before a Mangini coached team is playing them even though it happened 10+ months ago. He is a self centered sack of sh**.

:yesnod:

You do have to wonder about the timing. He had countless interviews that I saw where the subject of his declining performance was questioned. He would dodge it.

I used to be a big supporter but now he is turning into some kind of media hound. Faveruh suxxors!

He's gonna bring Chilly down too which I will love watching.

Favre is one of the biggest examples in NFL history of the emperor with no clothes.

Will the media and other knob slobbers EVER see through this guy? Nope.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
