Favre is Done
Pack it in Brett Favre and retire. You have a bum shoulder and let all of New York down. Would the Jets have won if Favre had decided to sit it out instead of preserve the streak? Would the Jets have won with Pennington were the QB? Would the Dolphins be in the playoffs with Favre as QB? I have my thoughts…
The Jets would’ve made the playoffs with a backup or Pennington at the healm. A non healthy player doesn’t help his team much despite all the will in the world. I won’t question Favre’s heart of competitiveness, but I will question his ability to play up to par while having an injured shoulder. We are going to find out that he has a labrum issue or a rotator cuff problem and he is going to walk away from the game. I’m glad he went out playing though instead of sitting on the bench with a clipboard because he was hurt. He’s that type of player and that’s why we love him, but his pride cost the Jets a playoff spot.
With Pennington the Jets would’ve gotten in the playoffs easily and instead he is taking the Dolphins there. The Dolphins improved by 10 games this season and Pennington had a large role in that. That guy has some determination and is a great passer. He plays the game very safely because he understands what his limitations are and he lives by them. I don’t think the Dolphins will win a game in the playoffs but you never know.
Lastly, the Dolphins don’t make the playoffs with Favre but the Packers do and isn’t that what we would be most concerned about. Aaron Rodgers did a fine job as the Packers QB and showed some promise, but Favre would’ve taken the Packers to the division title again because he would’ve won those 4th quarter games that Rodgers blew the whole year. I know it sounds funny, but it’s true.
