Before this thread spirals out of control with anti-Favre vitriol, I'm curious if there are any teeth to this story.

I'm sure Foster and Andre Johnson owners are interested.

 
By the way, this title sucks unless the OP has anything better than Favre was spotted at an airport somewhere.

At this point, "Rumor" should be at least thrown in there somewhere.

Probably all based on that profootballtalk article. Of course, if Leinart stinks it up as starter, this will get legs and Favre will milk it just for fun at a minimum.

RT @PhinNation: How long until someone suggests Brett Favre as a QB option for Texans? ... An ESPN producer asked yesterday. Not happening.

 
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Favre in Houston last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Leinart at least knows the playbook and will minimize his interceptions. This is a running team - Matt can hand the ball off just fine. There were reports Favre would often audible out of running plays to passing plays while in Minnesota. That's not what Houston needs. The Texans will run, run, run, run, and run. Every once in a great while they'll toss a dumpoff to Daniels or Dreesen. Both are good tight ends that will help extend drives.Favre would be a terrible fit for Houston - and that's assuming Favre is able to play as well as he did last year.
 
If you think about it, its a perfect situation for him. Just has to manage the game. Rely on Foster/Tate. PA to Andre, Bootlegs to Daniels, some simple screens to Jacoby. They are in 1st place, only a few more games to go. Doesn't have to be the savior or hero. Just dont suck. Great O-line too.

 
And Leinhart is not the answer. The Texans were the only team in the league who wanted him and I have no idea why. You want your QB to be a leader and Leinhart is some things, but not that.

Not true, reports were that he was about to sign with Seattle, but opted to stay with the Texans because he thought it was a better opporunity (which appears to be the case).

Correct, Brett Favre cannot play the "Manage the Game" role. He needs to be the hero. If he can't be the hero there is no reason to come back.

Off topic but how is being firmly planted as a backup on a better team, a better opportunity than being on equal footing to complete for a starting job in Seattle?

Less chance to be exposed as a non-NFL caliber QB?Better opportunity to collect a playoff check while holding a clipboard?

I think Seattle's move to go get Tavaris Jackson, the QB who their offensive coordinator previously had, was interpreted as a signal that Tavaris would be the incumbent in Seattle and Leinart and Whitehurst would be fighting for the back up role.Also likely a part of his decision is that Leinart has said he thinks Kubiak, Dennison and Knapp are one of the best coaching staffs in the NFL for a QB to learn from. So if he's going to be in a back up role anyway, might as well do it on a team he thinks will better prepare him to be a starter when he next gets a shot.

I doubt that Leinart would have "opted" to stay with the Texans if Tarvaris Jackson hadn't already signed with Seattle.
 
Rotoworld:

Brett Favre's agent believes he could "play today," and that he's "in the best shape I've ever seen him in, physically."

"His arms look like a blacksmith's arms," Bus Cook said Monday. "He rides a bike probably 30-50 miles a day. He runs four or five miles a day. He's coaching at the high school and they're undefeated. He loves it. His body fat is 7.5 percent and he weighs 225 pounds. He could play today, better than a lot of them out there today." It's unclear if Cook is describing Favre or The Most Interesting Man In The World. Either way, Favre's playing days are through, though he could probably give Blaine Gabbert a run for his money in Jacksonville. Favre turns 44 in October.

I would love to see Favre play for one of these teams with a heinous QB situation. I don't care how much of an attention whore he is, I miss watching him play.

Hey, Vinny T. played while he was 44 and Flutie retired at 43. Can't be worse than Gabbert.

Sportscenter would have a field day with this if more comes of it.

 
Lets hope Reid calls "Brett :useless: , I was talking w/ Holmgren :tebow: the other day. Listen Im thinkin about picking up some weapons :censored: some real firepower :jawdrop: Gordon :stirspot:

But listen anyway if I take the training wheels off :drive: the offense any chance you'd be my SB winning QB"

:: taps hummingbird:: :fishing:

 
brett was on his way to the airport & saw a sign that said ("AIRPORT LEFT'') he turned around & went home

...think it was from all the years of vicadin abuse
