Time for Favre to step aside? Now, that's a ridiculous notion.(NFL)
Last week, I got steamed. The Packers were 0-4 and there was all this talk about how it might be time for Brett Favre to step aside and let Aaron Rodgers, the team's No. 1 draft choice, take over. That is, without a doubt, the stupidest notion I've heard all year. Rodgers might be a fine player someday, but he isn't ready--not unless you want him to go out and play like J.P. Losman. And besides, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Favre. He's as smart as ever, and his athletic skills remain superb. He's like Roger Clemens: an ageless wonder.
Favre is as good now as he was nine years ago, when the Packers won the Super Bowl. Give him the cast he had then and he'd win another ring. The only reason the Packers are in last place is because the players around him aren't as good.
Did you see Favre against the Saints on Sunday? He had emergency fill-ins in the huddle--ReShard Lee, Donald Lee, Jamal Jones, guys whose names he was learning on the fly as they arrived from the bus stop--and he winged it all over the field. Put almost any other quarterback back there and this team would have fallen apart. Green Bay won, 52-3.
