Brett Favre To The Jets

The Green Bay Packers have traded Brett Favre to the New York Jets for....oh who cares?

The Jets are still going to be average, at best, and the Packers are still going to have to deal with Aaron Rodgers learning how to play in the shadow of a legend. The Jets are paying an extra six million dollars ($12M for Favre vs. the $6M for soon-to-be-cut Chad Pennington) to be in the news a little more, but they won't be a serious contender in the AFC. The Packers have hitched their wagon to the untested Rodgers, who has arm-strength questions and a lack of in-game experience.
The best part is that the "saga" is over, and hopefully now the "Favre" ticker can go away from the ESPN crawl.

I have to say that it just doesn't seem scary to think of "Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers" coming to play your favorite NFL team. If Rodgers is unable to make "all the throws" as I have heard, that could explain why Ryan Grant held out of camp to get a new contract. If the deep ball is removed from Green Bay's arsenal, then Ryan will not enjoy the success he had a year ago. With Favre at QB, teams had to defend down the field, because he had the arm (and the mentality) to stretch the field. Does Rodgers?

Jerricho Cotchery (NCSU guy) has to be ecstatic today. He is the type of receiver that Favre will love...a guy who will make the tough catches in traffic.

Good luck to everyone involved. They are all going to need it.
