Brett Favre trade to Tampa Bay coming soon?

by JasonB on Aug 6, 2008 3:04 PM EDT in News

Reports are suggesting that the Packers are close to dealing Brett Favre to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Why should we as Eagles fans care? Because Favre in the NFC South could mean good news for us. As we discussed last week the Eagles hold the Carolina Panthers first round pick next year, and anything bad for them is good for us. Let's face it, who gives the Bucs a better chance to win two games against Carolina next year? The Bucs current QB Jeff Garcia or Brett Favre?

In case you need help deciding, Favre threw 28 TDs last year and Jeff threw 13. At least one Bucs blogger thinks they're a better team with Favre.

Favre's agent has said that the two most likely destinations for Favre are the Bucs or the Jets. This Eagles fans is rooting for Gruden and co to make the deal. At the very least, it gives Eagles fans some kind of perspective on all this Favre nonsense.

GARCIA DOES

Garcia = more mobile and SMARTER w/ the ball.

im not sure garcia is more mobile farve can move and he can do alot on the run. he can take a hit, dish out hits, he knows if he has other options such as pitching it and he knows to throw it away. as for smarter its a toss up because i think farve just likes taking risks he will be willing to try to tread the nedle that is why he has more touchdowns than anybody ever, but that is also why he has more interceptions. i think farve can do alot more with the ball.

Other stuff that makes farve a better choice:

he doesnt get hurt, while garcia does
he can make plays, garcia is mor dependant (hence browns and lions)
Garcia is inconsistant while farve is the moddle of consistancy even down to his offseason routine every year with wether he will retire or not.

One more pluss to top off why he would be a better fit is because he will end the discousion of wether garcia desrves more money. Farve wants to play Garcia wants the money. with farve you get a guy who wants to play and win not play for the contract because he deserves it.

Bro

bro, besides last year Favre was a very mediocre qb at best he had lots of talent surrounding him. He wont have the luxury at tampa. you need someone smart, not someone trying to be the hero every play. garcia ran the WC offense better here becasue he was smart he didnt try and scramble and make something out of nothing like mcnabb does each and every time.

Favre didn’t try to make something out of nothing last year either… he seemed to figure it out.

Im assuming you are someone who doesnt like McNabb.(please correct me if im wrong)

Garcia did better because he has a more mature team them McNabb did. Our #1 reciver was reggie brown who was in his second year. plus he had a healtier team and o-line. that year we had a total of something like 53 injuries and most of them were in the first half of the year.

If garcia was really better dont you think we would of kept him either as a our starter or atleast the back up?

Looking simply at stats. they both came into the league in the same year.
McNabb has 118 games played
Garcia 112
McNabb has 171 TD passes
Garcia 149
McNabb has 79 INTs
Garcia 77
McNabb has an average of 1.45 TDs a game and .67 INTs
Garcia 1.33 .69
McNabb has 25,404 passing yard and 215 YPG
Garcia 22,825 204

Now those are the numbers. now lets look at the facts. Garcia i feel had an easyer davision therefor easier teams to play. He also has had alot better recivers to throw to.

Better make those comparisons for Pennington

Favre went to the jets

Ok

Ive been a Pennington fan but in no way can you evn compare them. Pennington could of been good but he had bad luck and now it seams like he can be an other career backup of he can be done with football
