Surprised you hadn't heard this before. It's was fairly widely reported, I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Huh. I had never heard of the Jets being that close to acquiring Favre rather than ATL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Wolf had his draft crush and finally got him in GB. Glad it worked out for everyone. If Brett was less of a loose cannon, ATL might not have let him go because everyone knew the man could sling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn’t flipped his car multiple times (and nearly killed himself in the process) during his Sr year at So. Miss, he would've been long gone before the end of the 1st-early 2nd rd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a good business model, but feels very calculated and algo-focused. you can draw your own conclusions anyway. Watch whatever player you want it's a really nice cutup of packers defensive plays. Saw Gary being nicely disruptive on one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is one that I actually believe, because Wolf made the move afterward. But I always take with a grain of salt the guys that tell about who they would have picked. There are never stories about how team X tried to give up 3 firsts for Jamarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf, but their offer was rejected. It is always a really good player.

Leaving a lot on the field right now. Hopefully hit their stride for when it matters most! I'm old enough to remember that if a guy was completing 70% of his passes with a 2:1 td:int ratio everyone would have been going nuts about how great he was.

If Brett was less of a loose cannon, ATL might not have let him go because everyone knew the man could sling it. The depth chart wasn't what we'd call "stacked" in hindsight, but he was also behind a competent first rounder in Chris Miller and a competent (-ish) backup in Billy Joe Tolliver (who at that point was still relatively young but had started 19 games in his first couple years, and while not great had that big arm football people always fall in love with)...so while he COULD have stepped up and shown something and worked his way in, he would've had to really wow people to get a fair shot. Instead he decided to do an re-enactment of Sherman's March but with alcohol instead of an army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pissed the Falcons drafted him and treated him like dirt the whole year he was in Atlanta. He treated him like he was a circus animal.

He was still a raging alcoholic Wildman but they harnessed his football talent enough to overcome the downsides. What a fun player/tragic hero he was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Favre would have made it with just Holmgren. Mooch was a great buffer between the two. Edited October 10 by NFLGURU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
