Favre fits in KC

[ChiefsCountry]

Montana was brought in to be the final piece of the puzzle and it about worked. Favre on the other hand wouldnt be. It wouldnt be good here in KC for him.

You all know damn well this is totally something Carl would do if he could.

Could, Would, Will?

Brett playing in KC makes sense if we are a playoff team and he can push us over the edge. That's not the case. See what Croyle has. If we need to give up a high round draft pick to get Favre, I'd rather save it and use it on a young QB next year than an old QB this year. We don't need a patch job that'll maybe get us to the playoffs. Been there, lost there. Let's not give up on the youth movement half way through.

1) He's one of the five most overrated players of all time
2) He cost his team the NFC championship last year
3) He makes god awful decisions in huge games
4) He's in his late 30's

to say he is overrated is foolish.
his team most likely wouldn't have made it as far as they did had brett not been the qb
the other two have some merrit.

Favre won't come to KC. He wants to go to a team that has a good probability to win in the playoffs. The Chiefs are nowhere even close to become a playoff contender this year.

Terrible article and terrible analysis. And you can quote me on that. *spits on the article*

[StcChief]

is the off season over so this crap will stop..... we can get on with regular season crappy articles.

[smittysbar]

One of the dumbest articles I have read to date.

This one reflects not only poorly on the one who wrote it but anybody who touched it along the way and made a decision to publish it. It's like putting your kid's crayola drawings in an art gallery.

"Will Kansas City abandon their youth movement to grab a player who’s capable of delivering a division title, a return to the playoffs, and perhaps more?"


"Initially, I imagine he’d embrace it, because he’s a professional and when you come from a quarterback lineage of Bart Starr, Joe Namath and Kenny Stabler at Alabama, another legend isn’t going to faze you."
Outstanding!!! it is good gochiefs has this clown around, heck some of his fluff looks pretty good compared to this silly shit.

[Nightfyre]

Having not read the whole thread, I'll just throw this out there and hope it's not a repost.

Nuthooks.

Any professional football player that decides to give exclusive interviews to Greta Van Susteren should have his man card revoked and be banned by the league for one year.

A Favre-free zone
Jul 17, 2008, 4:45:25 AM by Jonathan Rand - FAQ


It’s much too early to know if Herm Edwards’ confidence in Brodie Croyle will be vindicated.

It’s even too early to know for sure who’ll be the Chiefs quarterback by December.

It is not too early, however, to conclude that the Chiefs’ quarterback will not be a future Hall of Famer ready to come out of retirement a few months short of his 39th birthday.

You can put Edwards on a short list of NFL coaches who won’t be seriously asked whether he’s interested in trading for Brett Favre, assuming he comes out of retirement and the Packers don’t want him back. Asking Edwards if he wants Favre would be like asking somebody who lives 60 miles from work to buy an SUV, even a top-of-the-line model.

There are distinct advantages to staking out a firm position, and Edwards has touted his youth movement more often than Boone Pickens has been advertising wind farms.

Edwards hasn’t just told the home folks about his commitment to youth, which is highlighted by the 35 rookies on his training camp roster. If you check publications and web sites around the nation, you’ll realize there’s nobody left who hasn’t gotten Herm’s message, loud and clear.

That’s not to say everybody agrees he’s on the right track. But everybody would agree he’s not jumping off that track any time soon.

A coach in Edwards’ situation could usually expect an avalanche of questions about his interest in Favre, though it’s doubtful a quarterback on his last go-around would want anything to do with a team not poised to contend now. The Chiefs are coming off a 4-12 season and have big questions at quarterback – questions that Favre could answer for a season or two.

Edwards will not, of course, be able to avoid the Favre chatter unless he brings ear plugs to training camp at River Falls, Wisconsin. That’s across the state from the Favre soap opera and a short drive from Minneapolis, which seems to rank first on Favre’s wish list.

Then there’s Tampa Bay, Washington, Baltimore and anywhere else where a head coach might want to give a youngster more time to develop or isn’t satisfied with his incumbent.

Edwards isn’t interested in keeping Croyle, who entering his third season, as an understudy this season. “It’s his team,” he reiterated last month.

If Croyle gets serious competition, it will come from another youngster, ex-Viking Justin Thigpen. If the Chiefs feel the need for a veteran, Damon Huard will still be around.

How could any coach not want a legendary quarterback coming off a big season? You could start with a $12 million salary and the draft choices that the Packers would demand in a trade. Then there’s the planning issue.

Every NFL organization began planning for 2008 as soon as the 2007 season ended and tried to put pieces in place through free agency, the draft, off-season workouts, salary planning and perhaps changes in coaches and systems.

While the Favre of 2007 is a better quarterback than most teams possess, few can afford to tear up their blueprints with training camp just around the corner. The Packers needed to know for sure about Favre’s change of heart before the April draft.

That’s why his likely comeback is timed so awkwardly, and why many fans will be stunned by the relative lack of interest from the Packers and most other teams. He’d be asking the Packers to throw their locomotive into reverse after they’ve already moved a far piece down the tracks.

With Edwards, however, timing is no issue. He wouldn’t have wanted Favre — or any other veteran who would expect to start – in January, much less right now.

Amid the hazy prospects for the 2008 Chiefs, there’s just one certainty. When it comes to serving youth, Edwards will stay the course.
