Brett Favre officially linked to every team in the NFL

Color me not surprised to see an article like this.  Over at the WWL, Bill Williamson put together a piece discussing the chances of Brett Favre ending up on each of the 32 NFL teams.  Normally idle speculation is ridiculous, but I like the general idea of this article.  If Brett Favre actually considers a return, whether it be in Green Bay or elsewhere, it would certainly be useful to consider all his options.

San Francisco 49ers: If the 49ers were just a little better, this would be an interesting spot. But Favre likely would deem the 49ers too far away from contention to entertain the thought.

If the 49ers had a new head coach, I could see some reason for the speculation.  However, it almost feels like Mike Nolan and Alex Smith are attached at the hip and if this ship goes down, they'll go down together.  Favre certainly looked very good last year for a guy his age and I'd imagine would probably improve the 49ers offense.  At the same time, he was pretty awful in 2005 and 2006.  Of course, back on the other hand, in those seasons he was still probably a better option than Alex Smith.

I could go back and forth for hours on end, but I won't bother.  Simply put, I want to see what this team can do with Alex Smith or Shaun Hill.  In my ideal scenario, Alex Smith takes hold of the job and leads this team back to glory.  THe worst case scenario is neither working out and we are back at square one.  Bringing in Brett Favre would only delay the inevitable.  If he were to play two more years we could draft yet another quarterback and give him a year under Favre (which is clearly doing wonders for Aaron Rodgers).  However, if Favre plays one more year and then leaves, we'd be in an even worse position.

Considering the odds are slim to none that Favre signs with San Francisco, I don't think there is all that much to discuss.  Nonetheless, it's always an interesting possibility.

No, seriously… I never want to hear about Brett Favre again… or at least not for several years.

Brett Favre

Good God! Where did you come up with this one? Mike Martz and Brett Favre would go together about as good as oil and water.
I could just see Martz telling Favre how to quarterback.
While I may have lost five minutes reading this blog, I did get a good chuckle. Thanks for that!

My Precious Five Minutes

could be better spent in the bathroom flossing, brushing teeth, talking on my pager on the toilet instead of thinking about the long-gone Favre who is retired as a Green Bay and has no business messing with the 49er chemistry that is starting to mesh.

Legend

Brett Favre is a legend and he needs not to besmirch his legacy by going to another team. He needs to stay retired a Packer…and thats that! Give Aaron Rogers a break….I respect Rogers for puttin up with this childish behavior that Favre has put him through for the last 4 years. Move over fossil, and let the kid lead. Favre is a shoe in for the Hall….and will always be the guy in Wisconsin, so he needs to give it a rest.

Favre's Itch

Perhaps he has an itch somewhere else, maybe it was misunderstood that he had the itch to play again for GB Packers. I don’t want to elaborate any more…
