If Schefter is right, then it seems to me that a team like KC would be in a good position to play strawman for a deal that ultimately puts Favre in, say, Minnesota, and that would give GB’s mgmt an out with fans/owners by pointing out that did everything they could to avoid dealing him directly to a division rival but that in the end they had no control over what another team did with him once he was gone. GB saves face, Favre gets another shot with a contender, Chiefs get a high pick. Everybody wins.

Given his recent history, you can just as easily assume that Favre could just as easily hurt this year as help. There is no way you can absolutely assume he will have a good year especially with a new team that doesn’t even run the WC offense.

Today’s Favre (and yesterday’s Favre) is/was anything but a sure thing. He most likely will not single-handedly win us a championship (but he certainly would all the credit if the team somehow did manage it). Most importantly, he can do little to help us build a winning program. He is neither coach nor mentor, he is simply an on-the-field- improvisor and I see nothing of value that he could impart to the younger players through his presence. As I said above, even if he did come in and ride herd over a SB win, I believe most everybody, myself included, would view it as a shallow, fleeting, mercenary episode where he would get all the glory. While that might be momentarily fun for KC, it would be not good for the lockerroom, not good for the future of the team, and ultimately nothing much to brag about for us as fans.

“Bardy” (reportedly a big fan of Shakespeare btw) might be an option for next year if our QB situation completely falls apart this season.

I find it puzzling that the same fans who have sat through veteran plug-in after veteran plug-in at QB over the years and watched it accomplish basically nothing are so unwilling to embrace the possibility of a home-grown product. Let’s try something new here, guys.

Croyle needs to be the guy.

I’m with you, DJ. I think that for themost part Chiefs fans think we’re in the middle of the pack rather than towards the extreme bottom. A Favre or Derek Anderson or Koren Robinson or Ty Law whoever here won’t do any good. This team is just too far gone to be “fixed” this year.

It might not be fair to compare Croyle to one of the Mannings, but it is generally accepted to let a QB play for some time before judging him. Everyone sucks at first. Anyone calling Croyle a failure atthis point is retarded. Let him blow up for good or for bad first.

Uhh… Adam, your Homer is showing. Is that why you said “your piece?”
