Should we bring in Bret Favre???

I am just throwing this out there, now that ESPN NFL Live has reported that Favre has submitted a "play me, or release me" letter to the Packers, do you think it might be worth it bringing him in for a couple years, where he could maybe mentor Henne and Beck?
No, no, a thousand times NO! He's temporary, would set us back years, we need to develop our OWN players at QB, we aren't going to win many more games with him anyway, we will be set back 2-3 years in our QB development though. Bad terrible yucky horrible idea. I wish people would get over it, not coming here, no matter what.
Now, wanna know how I REALLY feel? :lol:

Wow...I knew it was just a matter of time... but coming from you Roman... :pity:
:tongue2:
No, no... and uh.. NO. We've spent 2nd round draft picks in the last two years on QB's, its time to see if theyre the answer instead of trading to get another player past his prime who only has a year left probably. Its not worth it at all. We need to make due with what we've got, grow as a team, learn to play together and start winning games. Another temporary fix isn't what we need. We need to find a long term solution.

i'm with PR.
we need to develop our own 2 young QBs. Brett would just delay their development/stunt their playing time, and give US the retirement issue every year.

I would have voted, but I couldn't find the "Hell **** No" Button.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
No, we are rebuilding.
If we were a team like the Vikings, ravens or the Packers for that matter that are close with no proven QB, then hell yes!


I really wish Favre would finalize his papers with the NFL so all this nonsense would stop. I dont want that stat hound in a Dolphin uniform. lets stick with the guys we have and see what happens.

Thanks Gish

:deadhorse: OK....I won't bring it up again. :wink2:
As long as they release Josh McCown. If the front office can swap out McCown for Brett Farve without giving up a draft pick, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. To be honest, I'm 50/50 on the whole Favre to Miami thing.
If that did happen, though... I wouldn't be shocked if Beck was traded to another team before the season began, clearing the way for Ireland's boy Henne to learn, unimpeded, behind Brett Favre... and I wouldn't be pleased with that scenario one bit.
We'd be rooting for the Miami 'Cowpackers'.

NO!
The only way I would want to see Favre as a Dolphin would be as a coach... but there really isn't a need there either right now.

says who..the sword of omens?
yea i think we should he is a good QB and John Beck and Chad Henne can Learn alot from him
I only voted yes if we bring him in on a 1-year at a time contract far less than what he's worth as a back-up after our other QBs get mauled.
I would of voted but I couldnt find a button for not a @#&^#*! chance in hell.
Hell Id rather call up Daunte.

In an age of Free Agency I dont see why people still think this way.
Back when its was only Plan B I'd see your point but ever since then...who cares when guys change teams like changing a suit.
.
The attendance would be unreal if he signed with Miami...but I am not sure he would get us to the playoffs? The Packer fans must be hating life,,,,this would be like Dolphin fans having to see Dan Marino in a Minnesota Vikings uniform. I'd want to throw up.
I see no benefit to bringing him in. We arent going to really compete, might as well stick with the young guys we have and let them grow into the role. Not to mention Favre is a drama queen, and I really dont want to spend the next 3 offseasons wondering if Favre is going to come back.
no. we already have on retired player on our team. thats just enough for now.
I'd like to read the letter that Favre sent to the GB FO.
Dear Packers,
I didn't like hunting and fishing quite as much as I'd hoped. I realized that I'm more addicted to the media and my own godliness than I ever was to pain killers. If you grant my release, I promise to retire next year. That is, unless I smell the tail-end of another record. You know I can't resist those darn things. Also, could you check the lost and found? I think I lost my dignity and self respect, thought I may have left them there somewhere.
Thanks,
Brett

if you went to the Packers game in Miami during the 06 season, you would regret ever saying that. It's bad enough that they migrate here once every 8 years. No need for an early invite.
Roman,tsk tsk tsk...
That said no we don't want the distraction known as Brett Favre here. We have enough quarterback controversy without adding another. Tunaland at this point has made their decision as to which direction they want the quarterback position to go. Bringing in an aging veteran who may have a year or two left is not the direction that they've moved in throughout the rest of the team and positions.
Why would Brett Favre want to come here at the end of his career??? Is there a Super Bowl contending team here??? Is there a glimpse of even playoffs here??? there is absolutely no reason in the world other than possibly money for Brett to be an aqua and teal.
Brett has been an Ironman thus far in his career. I really applauded him for retiring this past year (well, giving that impression) while still one of the better quarterbacks in the league. Just how long will it take for his body to start to break down??? One week, one month, 3 games??? we've seen it over and over again with aging veterans where they hang on just a little too long. Supposing Brett does come here, can make the transition to Henning's offense and we make some improvements and win a few games. What happens when/if he goes out on injury ??? Who'll step in ??? Is Beck ready??? Is McCown the answer??? If Brett spends the bulk of training camp adjusting to Henning's offense, where will the time be for us to determine Beck's and McCown's readiness ??
Tunaland has made their decision on which direction they want the quarterback position to go. Brett is not in their plans. There is no really good reason for either party to want to make this move.
mornin' Larry.. ..
aqua and teal.
aqua and orange??? :tongue2:
just say no to favray .. he's a friggin soap opera, we already have one of those..
