I've been dying to say it all year but I didn't have all the hard evidence to prove it yet. The record indicated that he was doing a good job. A 6 touchdown performance padded his stats. A Pro Bowl bid disguised his true effect on the team. But ever since I wrote this post
"DO NOT WANT...Brett Favre on the Jets" on July 23rd when the Jets were thinking about signing the erratic, washed up, interception throwing machine known as Brett Favre, I knew it wasn't going to work out. Here is an excerpt from the "2nd reason" of that blog...
"2) I just don't think he is that good, he throws a ton of picks and isn't that mobile anymore. With the exception of last year, he continuously made bad decisions like throwing into double coverage, holding on to the ball too long and getting sacked."
This is
exactly why we lost in the game against the Seahawks. Brett held onto the ball too long in critical situations and that was the key to him losing 37 yards on 4 sacks. He also threw 2 picks. One of them was probably the worst throw I have seen in my entire life. Shaun Ellis
throws 40 pound snow boulders better than Favre throws passes. He under threw a complete duck of a pass into double coverage across the field on his back foot. You know what happened after that horrid pass? CBS cut to a Wrangler jean commercial featuring him running around in a field with his fat idiot friends. That was the last straw.
I am going to go ahead and proclaim the next statement. If fact, I am going to put it in bold and uppercase lettering like your obnoxious boss does when he wants you to know that he is serious in his emails to you.
IF CHAD PENNINGTON WAS THE JETS QUARTERBACK THEN WE WOULD HAVE EITHER 11 AND BE PREPARING FOR THE PLAYOFFS
That's right I said it. Brett has hurt this teams chances to making the playoffs while Chad has been mercilessly leading his less talented team to what might be an 11 win season. Don't you think that if Chad was our QB that we would have won the Oakland game? What about the 49ers game? The Seahawks or Chargers games? Chad beat all 4 of those teams soundly while Brett looked like
Brownie Nagle in the 1992 season.
Here is a comparison of the Chad and Brett's stats in the games against the Seahawks, 49ers, Chargers and Raiders.
Chaddington
Completion % 68%
Average Passing Yards 184
TD's 4
Int's 1
Brett Favre
Completion % 62%
Average Passing Yards 198
TD's 4
Int's 9
These stats clearly show that if you were in favor of Brett Favre coming to the Jets that you don't know anything about football. It's OK, not everybody is an expert. I'm not trying to say I am an expert either. I'm clearly an idiot more often than not actually. I did, do, and always will know that Brett Favre should have never been signed and that we would have been much better off with Chad.
Brett your finished. Just retire already. I wish you would have retired last year instead of wasting the Jet fans time, money, and hopes this season.
I dare you to tell me why I'm wrong!
