Favre to the Texans?

[coloradodude]

Yeah, I agree. I should've emphasized the important part to me with a question.

If we didn't have quite abit of money tied up with Schaub would Farve consider us "a contender"? Just how close are we really? I think we 9 and 7, maybe 10 and 6 this year and make the playoffs for a taste.

This would never happen. I have heard them on the radio the last few weeks and Houston has come up as a great fit for Farve and the team. I think that is about the dumbest thing I have heard though. It shows the lack of knowledge they have about our teams identity, direction, and leadership.

We arent in a win now mode. Kubiak and Smith are trying to build a team that can compete for years and years, not just throw up a hail mary and hope like hell we catch it. Bringing in Farve would be a bigger disruption than a help to get this team to be able to compete every year.

Smith and Kubiak have a master plan, and it doesn't allow for a sidetrack like Favre would be.

You mean people actually get paid for saying stuff like that? This goes to show why I never read or listen to what the national guys say about the Texans. They rarely have a clue. Stick with the local guys if you want to know about the Texans. By the way, our offense, even with our all-star receiver, our starting RB and our QB out for a big chunk of games, still ranked well ahead of our defense in NFL stats.

This is about as likely to happen as Bud Adams selling the Titans and trying to buy the Texans.

Why do we want Brett Favre when we already have Sage Rosenfels?

But, seriously, as long as the Texans are selling out, there's no reason to bring Favre to Houston. He's an expensive short-term solution to a long-term problem. This isn't like Roger Clemens signing with the Astros. The Astros were already a veteran team with some of their best players close to retirement. The Texans are a young team who don't think they are one or two players away from making a Super Bowl run.

The comment misses the mark on so many levels. Besides, didn't I see a crawl where Favre wanted to play for another cold-weather team? That ain't us.

In terms of running a similiar offense yes, bt making sense for the organization, not so much.

[Nconroe]

Absolutely a bad idea for any team. Farve has been pretty bad last several years, ok, last year better than previous several, just luck. He needs to retire. He was good in what was it, 1993, not 2008.
