Trade for Farve and go for it this season?

[Sonny Joe Hog]

Does it make sense now to trade for Farve and try to win the Super Bowl this season?

Please don't mock me - I'm serious.

Any time that a franchise has a shot at the Super Bowl, they have to go for it. Now, with Jason Taylor on board and Farve out there for the taking, we could have a legitimate shot if we pick up Farve. This may be too rare of an opportunity for the Redskins to pass up.

I'm sure that the team could find a way to make cap space and, if they want him, I'm just as sure that they can make the trade.

The ages of our starting O-Linemen and CB's may make this the time.

They can worry about JC's development down the road. As for JC's mindset - well, that's life in the NFL.

If Dan Snyder doesn't go for it now, he may regret it later.

NOOOOOOOOOO! Give Campbell a chance this year. What if Favre comes hear and shows how old he is on the field and cant really perform in this system? Then all you do is waste a season and scar the mind of Campbell because he will definitely get the impression that the team doesnt believe in him.

Just because you have Brett Favre does not guarantee a superbowl. He couldnt do it in Green Bay last year, what makes you think that he will come to a completely new team and system and win the superbowl. Man, he might even retire after a couple of games because he'll say it doesnt feel right because he's not in Green Bay.

[Bliz]

You get 1 star, and may God have mercy on your soul.

We don't have the money to sign Favre, even if we wanted to.

[SellersHappens]

With what cap room?

[MDRedskinsFan]

In a word, no. Whether it makes sense or not isn't the point, we don't have the cap room anymore. Therefore, it made little sense before, and no sense now.

[Rocky21]

With what cap room?Thank you SellersHappens for understanding football - and Sonny Joe, end the madness.

[TGI Jef]

solid points made already, and add in the fact that this isnt baseball or basketball - cant just plug a player in and expect him to perform up to his talents.

i know favre has experience in similar systems, but he doenst have the timing with our WRs. he hasnt worked with our oline.

just not a fan of that idea at all. if anything, we would probably be worse off with him this season.

[Skinzaddict1983]

My only thought on Farve coming here:

"Negative ghostrider, the pattern is full"

[NoleSkin21]

No! Enough of the Favre talk. It isn't going to happen. To even clear cap room for him we would have to release Griffin, Springs, and come to an injury settlement with Daniels. Not going to happen. Besides, JC is going to be amazing this year.

[Taiwan32]

Trade for Farve?

Negative Ghostrider, pattern's full...

[RedlightG20]

I don't believe Favre will fare well for any team other than the Packers if he plays again.

[twobags95]

Two letters One word, "NO"!

[ECU-ALUM]

Hell to the NO!

[ouvan59]

Because Favre has been in so many Super Bowls in the last decade....

First of all we can't afford him. Secondly the acquisition of Jason Taylor does very little to stunt the growth of any players that might help us in the future. The acquisition of Favre would completely crush Jason Campbell. Just so no to Favre.

[Zhouse]

Why does everyone think Brett Favre is this amazing god like QB who is destined to go to the Superbowl by just stepping on the field???

[Skinzaddict1983]

I don't believe Favre will fare well for any team other than the Packers if he plays again.

Agreed... I think the only other team he could truely help would be Seattle(Cuz of fat daddy holmgren(sp) ) And I honestly don't see them benching Hasslebeck for Farve...

[3 Rings]

Favre = Disaster.

[Brandon-Lloyd-Bank$]

Not a chance, JC is the stater. Deal with it, or cheer for another team. We don't like your kind here.

Eat **** and die! You speak for nobody else. I've been a Skins fan for 50 years.

[HBnotBlades]

I thought the biggest benefit to the JT trade would be that the Farve threads would finally stop.

...I guess I was wrong.

[paige3girl]

omg... didn't this crap get beat to death last week. Can we let it go already!!!!

[Sonny Joe Hog]

OK. Forget it, then. My bad.

[quettefan]

in a word: "No"

[Heidenreich]

I get what you're saying. There are a lot of older players in key spots.

If you don't think Campbell is going to take the next step this year, it's a worthwhile possibility.

If you do think Campbell is ready to take the next step, then it's not worth pursuing.

If Campbell progresses slowly, by the time he's ready to lead the team, the veterans will no longer be effective.

So it's a valid topic for discussion. More valid when you factor in the fact that we just picked up a 34 year old defensive end.

Would I do it? No. I am on the Campbell bandwagon. I think he will have a fine season.

I also don't think it will happen. But if by some strange reason it does, I would certainly be excited.....

[IbleedBnG83]

Favre was playing poorly the couple of years before last! Who knows who we will be getting? Why mortgage the future once more? He is not a lock to get us a Super Bowl. With a position like QB, unlike any other, chemistry is a HUUUUGE factor. We have a new staff, rookie receivers, and a new system. It will take more than just Favre for the Redskins to go to the Super Bowl. I like our chances with JC better.

[RAAZ227]

This thread is a Joke.

[Xempt]

i move this thread be closed, i swear some of you dont think sometimes

[Fifty Gut]

Worst ... thread ... ever.

[RDSKNfaithfull]

Great Pass rush/Avgerage run stopper vs Average Pass rush/Great run stopper

AT LDE you would normally want somebody more like phillip but Jason is a HOFer so it adds more to the equation

No ****ing way.

First off, with the Jason Taylor trade, we just lost the cap room we had. There is no real way to cut enough cap space to free up the 12 million dollars we'll need to sign Farve.

Second, I dont want him here at all. He had a great 07, but really shaky 05 and 06 seasons. He'll kill as many drives as he'll make with a dumb throw into triple coverage. And I think with Zorn being here, JC is going to be a very solid QB by the end of the season. Next season I see Campbell being more than solid. So, just say no to Farve.

[SkinsToTheSuperbowl]

No Favre...JC is a good solid QB.

New's flash. The NFL has a Salary Cap and farve is making $12million. How do you plan on circumventing that.

He could take less money.

[Hooper]

The Pack have just as much talent as us, a young qb who has showed far less than JC, and a fanbase that worships Favre...

... and even they don't want him. Tells me everything I need to know.

[Veretax]

Trading for Jason Taylor put a nail in any chance of Favre coming here. We don't have the Cap room. Period. Nevermind that Green Bay isn't going to trade him any time soon either.

[SoCalSkins]

He may not be, but he is a major upgrade over our starting QB who is 1-5 against the division in his career and 1-6 against teams that have finished above .500.

[Playsmart30]

Thank you SellersHappens for understanding football - and Sonny Joe, end the madness.

Understanding football is also u can make cap room for this season just by redoing few contracts. I can bet whatever, If Redskins come to Jason Taylor and say we are thinking about getting favre for a Super bowl run this season, You dont think Jason taylor will not redo it to save us 3 or 4m?

[Playsmart30]

Just for the record. I want JC not Favre

[BigC003]

No..getting Farve would send a bad message to Campbell and split the locker room.Players like Jason, why mess up chemistry and morale..but knowing Danny Boy and Vinny anything is possible...but I say dont do it.

I'm trying not to mock you, but hell ****ing NO!

It will not make any sense to do so.

Just because we signed JT out of necessity, doesn't mean we should sign Favre out of luxury.

Makes absolutely no sense at all.:doh:

But we were 19 million over the cap and the front office cleared 29 million. You mean they can clear more like they do everytime they want a player? But it would hurt JC's little feelings and he is already a cry baby. Do you really want him pouting all year on the bench behind Collins?

[mistahsmif]

Why does everyone think Brett Favre is this amazing god like QB who is destined to go to the Superbowl by just stepping on the field???

Because John Madden said so........

[Veretax]

Let me be clear, I'm a Favre Fan, and my family after our personal team favorites always roots for green bay as their 2nd Favorite team, however, the moment Favre started talking retirement, I got a pit in my stomach. Could Favre deliver a super bowl to DC? Maybe, but my concern was that in so doing we'd be throwing the franchise long term down the drain again to make it. The Jason Taylor Trade was great because it addressed a need, and in my mind showed that we are going to build smartly. I love Favre, but I doubt he'd have had the success that Sonny or Baugh had here.

If you understand football explain why it would be a good idea to trade for a 38 year old QB who is unsure of his commitment to the sport (who threw 29 INT's two seasons ago) after training camp has started when the Skins have no cap room?

[Area51]

I have never seen a player as overrated and overhyped as Favre. The guy, for all his supposed "greatness," has only 1 SB championship. And it is not because of the lack of talent he has had around him. Plenty of times he had a very talented team, only to come up short.

LAST YEAR, is one great example. NFC is wide open. They have the slightly above average NYG at home(Lambeau field) in the snow, and the great Favre throws up an INT and ends their season.

The most amazing thing about Favre is his durability and his consecutive games started record. His play on the field has been vastly overrated.

[McD5]

Doubt it happens....but is sure as hell would be exciting.

[bikie]

this post is snyder's inner GM screaming from within... he's been suppressed all off-season and now has the taste of big FA's...

[kingchris626]

If this happens I don't want to imagine how upset I'll be

[GoSkins561]

Dude,

you could always try a "Jason Taylor Dancing with the Stars Thread" ;)

[danthemann71]

we dont have the cap room anymore.

Just say NO.

No thanks on Favre...JC is my man!

[Balls City]

Way to bring numbers into it to support your point. Sheer nonsense. I concur, though.

[StillUnknown]

these threads are comical to me at this point

[SKOALSKIN]

Why Does everyone think that we can magically adjust our players contracts to create cap room to sign Farve. And thats not even the most idiotic suggestion. That award is given to the jokers that think Farve would take a pay cut to play in Washington.

[skinsfanindallas88]

Vinny was on Mike and Mike this morning and he said absolutely not because as he so eloquently put it "we don't have any money"

[pjfootballer]

Not a chance I'd do this. And I'm not mocking you.
