Brett Favre has told Ed Werder of ESPN that he will need ankle surgery to be able to play in 2010.

They didn't take a QB in the draft. Anyone else think it might be wise to consider trading Pike if the price was right? (and heavily leaned in our favor)

Meh, I highly doubt that he NEEDS it.

Just another excuse to get out of training camp.

[Black]

True, but let's say he does play one more year....they would be wise to have a stud QB to groom under him.

what's up with Favre and training camp?

Did you see how badly it was swollen after their last playoff game?

Yeah, I did. That's what happens when you get beat down like a punching bag.

That doesn't change that Favre has NEVER liked training camp. I'm sure he wouldn't need surgery after months of resting it(unless there is a broken bone or he tore something, not sure didn't read the article..) He'll do anything to avoid those practices, and I don't blame him. He's old as hell, he needs to enter the season rested if he wants to last throughout the playoffs.

I will say this though, Favre is going to have a miserable life after football. All this is going to take a toll eventually.

Yeah the saints really destroyed him.

If they wanted him don't you think they would drafted him. He made it to the 6th. When is the last time you heard of a rookie being traded (not on draft day) especially one drafted late? That was just a waste of a pick IMO. Brown made it to UDFA and he has far more potential.

EDIT

Good point, oh well!

Favre doesn't need training camp. the playbook was surgically implanted into his brain's memory core through a new process that beats neutrons down to tiny particles in the large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, then they use a laser to project the plays onto Brett Favre's brain... let it sit for a few days till all the plays are completely layered in there. and BOOM! no more training camp for Favre.

Farve ankle 2010 = Farve Shoulder 2009.

I have no doubt he needs surgery. But if he wants to play, he will play. same story every year.

all they did was copy what we did to him several weeks prior to the start of the playoffs. we straight up destroyed that offensive line.

Boy that would be nice if that actually existed. Think about all the players that fail because they can't absorb a playbook.

Scratch the Pike idea, they took a QB in the sixth with Pike still available. I just thought I'd try and stir poo up.
