Anybody? I have to believe that there are some people with drafts either the next few days or who are currently drafting that could really use the information. Might be able to get Brett on the cheap.

 

[whodeywhodey]

Anyone?

Kinda early to be ranking Favre anywhere. No one has any idea if he'll be playing, in Green Bay as a backup, in Green Bay as a starter or traded to an anemic offense.

IMO its certain that he will be the opening day starter in GB. He's competing in GB where he has been "Mr. Packer" for the last decade and a half. I don't see Rodgers standing a chance. The retirement talks are off the table and the team doesn't seem to want to trade him now.And it is never too early to rank. Some of us (me included) are in drafts right now where Favre is still available. Where to "reach" for him even if he is not technically the starter as of tonight is a very relevant and important topic to discuss.

Like I said, its never too early to rank players.

Too early to rank.

Your rank is pretty good if Brett's in GB and the starter Week 1.

Too early to rank. Your rank is pretty good if Brett's in GB and the starter Week 1.

So what do you do if you have a draft starting this week then? Do you pass on him because its too early to "rank him"? Or what round does he become a good draft pick.I picked him up in the 11th round of an 18 round draft the other day. He's my QB2.

I can't believe no one is responding to this topic. I am trying to get an idea where Favre fits in the rankings if he is indeed the starter, which we all know is very likely.

I agree. I have been trying now for 2 days and the only response I get is "too early". \ WTF? Its NEVER too early. There are drafts going on all the time.

You asked for people's opinion and they gave it. Sorry it isn't what you want to hear but it is how many feel.

Personally I gave up on leagues that draft this early a long time ago for exactly this reason. Any opinion on what Favre is worth today is useless compared to the same opinion when the season starts.

The word personally is useless in your first sentence, just as your entire post is useless in this thread.If I were drafting this weekend, I'd be looking to get back to back QBs in the middle rounds, with Favre being one of them. Something like Garrard/Favre, Eli/Favre, Bulger/Favre would make me feel pretty good about my QB situation. I imagine that it'd be easy to snag Rodgers with a late round pick as a handcuff, too. This way you are relatively safe and have little downside, but it could pay off pretty darn well.

At this stage, if you want to take Favre you have to take 2 other QB's aswell, one of which is obviously Rodgers. I don't really want 3 QB's on my roster, I just don't have that much space.

IF he is the Week 1 starter in GB, there is no reason to think his on the field performance will differ from what he did last year. I'd rank him right after Brady, Manning, Brees, Romo, and Palmer. I agree that there is no way he will be the backup for week 1 in GB, so his value is sky high now compared with his ADP (at least before this situation gets sorted out). If he gets traded, he'll still be a starter, and while not as favorable as GB, I think he could put up pretty decent numbers with MN, Chi, or Tampa.

I don't draft for two more weeks, so I bet if he sticks around as GBs starter we'll see his ADP move up into about the 5th-6th round.

Right now Favre is NOT a starting QB and therefore will not be ranked very high by me. I don't think it's automatic that he starts for GB, IF he is even there to start the season.

I also think people are ignoring the fact that Favre is 38 years old and eventually the body can't do the things it is accustomed to.

There are WAY too many questions right now that have to be answered. If I was drafting right now, I would let someone else take him because he will go too early for me to take him.

This situation is too cloudy right now for my opinion to be different.

That's the glass-half-empty side of this, sure. I'm more of a glass-half-full type of guy.However, if you are a guy like me that always waits for a QB then his situation is ideal. You can get a potential top 5 QB if you are willing to take a gamble in the middle rounds (and by middle I mean rounds 10-12) right now.If you are drafting now this situation could bring you the Championship, however its unlikely to lose it for you since we're talking such a late round pick.

It's not hard to figure out, he's right around No. 5 to 7 if he starts. Nobody is responding because you don't know for sure what's up and even though some may have drafts this weekend, news is going to come out before this weekend about Farve's situation.If you're going to draft Tuesday morning somehow or Tuesday afternoon, then take Farve in about the 10th or 11th round.Otherwise, hold tight and see what happens.

These are pretty much my thoughts. Is he really going to be in Green Bay? If so, is he going to outplay Rodgers, Farve's been playing with some high school kids or something and it's August here. Some players have already competed in a preseason game never mind their first practice.I guess all I can say is if Farve can come in with a little rust on and totally outplay Rodgers, who's been practicing all summer then he must be head and shoulders above what Rodgers is right now. I'm not so sure all of that is true.

Romo

I think I've been out on a limb for several weeks now (See Roundtable #2) but I don't see this resolving any other way:Staff Roundtable #2

Jeff Pasquino: For me it comes down to a few simple questions. If Green Bay would have agreed to Favre coming back as their starter in February or March, what has really changed since then? If Favre had injured himself in his final game in January and would have been out for six months, there would really not be any difference in what has transpired on the field for Green Bay and what has happened already.

Everyone needs to forget the interviews, press conferences, statements and all the talking going on and step back. Look at the big picture. Brett Favre was an impressive starting QB last season and he gives Green Bay a legitimate chance at winning a Lombardi Trophy next February. Isn't that the goal for the Packers?

 

[Txns8]

He seems to be going around the 9th or 10th round in the mocks I've been doing lately. Very good value there imo.

 

[Frank Black]

I feel pretty certain that Favre will be the starter for GB. I agree with a #7-8 ranking.

I'm surprised the Madden Curse believers haven't chimed in on any of these Favre threads.

What has changed from last season? He is a few months older? The guy was good last year, his team was very good last year, not muh has changed. It's not like this is the Olympics and it's four years later...we are not far removed from the playoffs and his last few games.

Given todays news maybe it is too early to rank him with any degree of accuracy.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Well if he's a Buc, I put him around 12-15.

I love the McNoodle reference and the ranking. (McNair II)

It's impossible right now.
