Favre trade good for Pack
A popular opinion is that the 5-6 Green Bay Packers (and fans) are crying in their cheesecake and beer because they “drove” Brett Favre to the 8-3 East Rutherford Jets, where he is prospering. Wrong. First, the passing numbers of Favre and Pack replacement Aaron Rodgers are close. Second, the Jets have been a better overall team than the Pack (although you could argue that the rest of the Jets have been inspired by Favre’s presence). Third, if Favre gets the Jets to the Super Bowl, the Pack get the Jets’ first-round pick in next year’s draft. Finally, during next season Favre will be 40, Rodgers will be 26.
