Favre to _______?

Favorite picture OF ALL TIME! (Kanye West Voice).

 
 If there is one thing I have learned through all of my years of watching the NFL it is this: Brett Favre is a complete lunatic. He could have retired with the Packers when he had the chance, but tried and failed. He then went to the Jets and was "sexting" with employees. Then he went to the Vikings and almost went to the Super Bowl even though half the time he looked as if he was on the brink of death.
   After a rough outing last season that led to injury and another retirement, one thing still stands: No one believes that this guy is done.  If his arm is anywhere near health he will be back, I am just going to assume that from this point forward for the sake of the column.
   Rumors surfaced yesterday that Favre could potentially land with the Philadelphia Eagles next season as Michael Vick's backup. Most everyone who reads that he is trying to come back begins to laugh, but I absolutely love it. Keep it coming Brett, so we can keep guessing.
   Here are some teams I would not mind seeing Favre land on, because we all know he is going somewhere.

Kurt Warner said farewell because he is old and tired of football. Brett Favre said farewell because it is fun to screw with all of us.

1. ARIZONA CARDINALS 


   It was not three years ago that Kurt Warner led this team all the way to the Super Bowl. I would drool watching a healthy Favre throw bombs to Larry Fitzgerald. Steve Breaston and Early Doucet would also serve as formidable targets for Brett. With a speedy Tim Hightower at RB, Favre could turn the Cardinals into a playoff team easily. Not to mention that they play in the lowly NFC West, won by a Seattle Seahawks team last season (who had a record of 7-9). This would be a solid move for them if they want to try to make another dream Super Bowl run.

Pitch to Favre: "Sign with us so Julius Peppers won't try to kill you anymore!"

2. CAROLINA PANTHERS


   Sorry Auburn fans, but Cam Newton is nowhere close to taking a team to the playoffs. The Panthers are a complete mess, and Cammy Cam does not fix it. In my most honest opinion, I think he will be suffering from "Jason Campbell" Syndrome by Year Three.
   "Jason Campbell" Syndrome- When a player spends 1-3 years in a offense/on a team in a crisis, which in turn ruins the player's career, forcing him to be shipped to the Oakland Raiders. Not just for players from Auburn University.
   Examples: See Jason Campbell, Richard Seymour. 
   In other words, I do not have much faith in Cam if he stays on the Panthers. He needs someone to teach him how to play professional football and that man is not Jimmy Clausen.
   Enter Favre: An instant veteran that could teach Newton the ropes of life in the NFL. If they could bring somebody in to help Newton learn instead of throwing him into the fire, I would be much more confident that he could be a decent quarterback in the NFL.
   Bringing Favre in could also bring back the team's biggest star (Steve Smith) who cleaned out his locker at the end of the season because he wants off the team. Jonathan Stewart is a good running back, but he needs some help. If Favre is willing to sign with a team and a not-too-awful defense, it could totally work.

Brett to self: "I have always felt sexier in Green."

3. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES


   I love this so much. Michael Vick is as wild as Favre was in his day and could use as solid backup as Kevin Kolb whines his way out of town. Vick's style of play leaves him prone to injury, allowing Favre to get some time if necessary. This is the best spot for Favre to land if he wants to win another Super Bowl. The Eagles are high on my board to win the NFC and maybe the whole thing if they are lucky. Favre could really be a mentor to Vick and the two could be what it takes to get the Eagles their first Super Bowl title.

Sadly, this will never happen again. 

4. GREEN BAY PACKERS


   This could truly be special. After all of the pain and anger, after leaving to eventually sign with a bitter rival and most likely regretting it all, how cool would it be to see Brett sign a league minimum to backup Rodgers for a year and then just retire. In a few blowouts, the Packers could throw Favre in and let him work the crowd just like he did for over a decade. Even though there is probably still some bad blood, if a true Packers' fan would not let Favre back on the team I would be disappointed. Plus, their backup QB right now is Matt Flynn, the Pack will be screwed if Rodgers goes down with some insane injury.
 
   Picture this: down a field goal in Super Bowl 46, Rodgers gets sacked and tears his ACL. Favre is called upon one last time, needing some points with under two minutes to go. He is picking apart the defense as if it is a scrimmage against a high school team in his home-state of Mississippi. Nothing can stand in his way of his Super Bowl dream.
  Favre completes a pass to Greg Jennings which takes them to the other teams' 30 yard line and calls a timeout with :47 on the clock. A field goal is a done deal, but Favre wants the win, the fame and the glory.
   On 1st down, Favre goes for the kill, trying to hit Jennings for a signature Super Bowl winning TD. Out of nowhere comes Steelers safety Troy Polamalu! He intercepts the ball and starts streaking down the field! He falls on top of it at the 44 yard line, ending all hopes that Favre could win one more game for the beloved Pack. All Rodgers can do is look on from the sidelines as the Steelers win their seventh trophy. What a game that would be!

   Give me a break, a man can dream right?
