Would you want Brett Favre as Vick's backup?

Lets just say for hypothetically speaking the Lockout is lifted in June and the Eagles have traded Kolb to the Cardinals and Andy called up Favre about the possibility of being a backup... would ya? With Vick's history of injury and the quality of backups that could be out there during free agency is there a person who would better fit what the Eagles try to do and could potentially win games for this team? I know some people will suggest Matt Hasselbeck but do you really think he could come here as a backup when he could get a starting job still in the league?
If you guys have any other suggestion lets hear it since I think we all can agree that the talk of the lockout is maddening.

Damn… haha. I only suggested thinking that he’d be the person best fit to run this type of offense then the majority of people on the market.

Eh, that was hyperbole. Not knocking you personally. I prolly could have used sarcasm tags there.
But i think he’s too risky of a player for us. He’s too much of a slinger as opposed to a thrower. Not to mention he’s very old, probably isn’t interested in backing anyone up, and doesn’t have the kind of pocket presence anymore to bail him out.

Let him throw his interceptions to high school kids in practice.

What should I do?
Should I name my penis after players…Peyton Manthing, Adrian Penison, Danny Woodhead…Danny Woodhead does not even make sense, I just think he is a good football player.
If you don’t have an Eagles Point along with your critique of my post, then you won’t get a response back from me… I’m not wasting my energy on that anymore…

Lol, were you going for the Lebron Nike commercial idea?
Because that could go so far…
What should I do? Should I stay retired? Should I give McCarthy the finger? What should I do? Should I take a photo of my genitals and send it to a younger female? Should I make untoward advances towards women in the Jets locker room? Should I cheat on my cancer-survivor wife? What should I do? Should I throw an awkward pass across my body during a game-winning overtime drive in the playoffs? Should I accept $10 million even though I know my body’s washed up? What should I do? What should I do?

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard.

Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

There’d be the biggest media shitstorm for a backup QB since Vick. I remember when we all thought Vick would suck and it was a bad idea… lol, good times.
Last name Ever
First name Greatest
I heard that too, and seems like the worst idea I’ve ever heard.

From a football standpoint.
But from a clownish lmfao standpoint, it’s a great idea.
"What a gorgeous dog. What do you feed him?"
Newton looks healthy enough.
He could also play 20 years and throw 580 interceptions.
"What a gorgeous dog. What do you feed him?"
you guys are acting like he wasn't one of the greatest qb's of all time
while i also say fuck no to him being our backup….he was a fucking icon. his stats are undeniable, he has his ring, he has all the records that will never be broken, unless brady plays til hes 44. who cares if he was mackin on jen sterger. props to him. he’s rich and retired. go fuck all the bitches you can before your dick stops working. oh and one more thing….AARON ROGERS! he groomed one of the best qbs in teh fucking league you guys are so fuckin one sided its not even funny

He wasn’t fucking; he was making unwanted advances by sending texts that had his tiny, old member in them.

Who would have thought the world could go so crazy that Eagles fans would actually have to defend the rights of Giants to say fuck the Eagles. What’s next, cats fucking dogs?

WELL
Doesnt look like anybody really suggested anybody and all that was said is FUCK NO,, hahaha – So here is who I think could play in our system and win, 1- Tavaris Jackson, free agent good back up and with Andy and Marty showing how to play could really fit, 2 – Dennis Dixon(PITT) – I think could be an excellent back up – 3 – Bruce Gradkowski (OAK)
could be next garcia here – play it out in your head
i like tavaris jackson as a back up
hes not great by any means but i think he could learn alot from vick
I have mentioned him a few times too ...
… he was already schooled in the basics of our offense by Chilly, he’s got talent and seems like he would benefit from a some low-pressure tutoring from Reidhinweg. And a confidence boost from playing with DJax, et. al. Alex Smith probably the same.
My first choice for backups would be McNabb and Hasselbeck, but after that, Tarvaris is an affordable option who could deliver in a pinch.

Mark me down as another "fuck no".
Just no. His usefullness has passed and his ego is way too big. Not to mention I don’t want a backup taking huge risks game in and game out. Not to mention he is an injury concern himself. I would love for training camp to happen because I might even be comfortable with Kafka as a backup if he shows some stuff. If Bulger doesn’t go anywhere to start I wouldn’t mind him. What about Trent Edwards? Isn’t he a free agent? Is he going back to Jacksonville now that Gabbert is in town? He wasn’t a great starter but he might make for a decent, healthy backup.
good call on edwards, IQ is off the chart so in a back up roll and again what Andy and Marty have done with QB’s how can you not take a shot at 1 of these guy, and Kafka could be ready, he showed promise in preseason but that was against 3rd string guys, I would like to see him start a preseason game to see what he got for real, thats when you know,
Well, mark me as a yes
why wouldn’t we want him as a backup? All i see is blah blah diva, blah dickhead blah blah literally, the head of his dick blah blah.
If he were willing and excited to be our back-up, then why not? He had one pretty bad season in 20. Granted it may have been cuz he’s old as fuck, but he was only one year younger the season before when he brought the viking to the NFCC. The other reason he sucked was cuz he was hit all the time. He would serve as a great back-up IMO.
With that said, there is a 100% chance that he won’t. 100%. No way, no how, I will find jen sterger and show her my own dick if that happens. But i would. Take Favre that is. And show Jen my dick, too, i guess.

How about...
…blah blah blah interception machine.
…blah blah blah turnovers put defense in bad positions.
…blah blah blah won’t listen to coaches.
…blah blah blah criticizes coaches play calling in the media.
Oh, and because of your last statements, mark Jen Sterger as someone rooting against Favre being an Eagle too, lol.

How bout
Options I would take as a back-up over Brett Favre
In no real order
1. Kafka
2. Hasselback
3. Bulger
4. Dixon
5. Trent Edwards
6. Kolb (Yes I would rather not trade Kolb then get Favre)
7. Lienhart
8. Max Hall (Trade with Kolb straight up I don’t care)
9. Joe Montana (Dude says he wants a come back in his commercials)
10. Joe Theisman (LT is a child predator now so he is totally safe for a come back)
11. Terry Bradshaw (Equally old and interception prone)
12. Andy Reid
Mine
(assumes Kolb is dealt)
1. McNabb
2. Hasselbeck
3. Tarvaris Jackson
4. Kyle Orton.
5. Alex Smith
Whoever else becomes available
I don’t see Favre, McNabb or Carson Palmer being willing to accept backup roles FWIW. Shoot, Kolb doesn’t even wanna be a backup.

i dont see him as a backup
but as for mentoring cam newton. He has 20 years under his belt. he’s the fucking iron man. You guys are all haters cuz he had one bad season. if they threw 20 million in my face i’d play another year too. he mentored aaron rogers, who was the most recent super bowl mvp and easily one of the top 3 qbs in the league.
He did NOT...
…mentor Aaron Rodgers. Matter of fact, he went OUT OF HIS WAY to make sure that he was not a mentor to Aaron Rodgers at one point saying “It is not my job to mentor…” The guy was a great QB. He won one Superbowl with one of the greatest defenses in NFL history. But that is where it should stop…stop giving him credit for things he doesn’t deserve.
I-C-Y-U-H8-ME
Favre has stated
he wished he actually acted as a mentor to Rodgers. He’s said over and over he’s not one to teach the man who’s gunning for his job.
Rodgers has even implied Favre may have done the exact opposite of helping him..

It's no big deal..
Most people (like myself) expect the old legend to teach the young up and comer.. And like most people (Myself included) I assumed Favre helped Rodgers… i was wrong lol.
