What's Brett Favre's 1 regret from season with Jets?

Yeah, but they couldn't sit Favre because they had nothing behind him, so they rolled the dice. His biggest regret though is not getting Jenn Sterger.

The one pic that Favre wishes resulted in a score

Typical Jets luck we get our guy and he is exactly as advertised and he blows out his bicep trying to work up a chubby for a dick pic. What next, Ryan Fitzpatrick goes AWOL during the season to appear on Celebrity Jeopardy?

And then we got Rex who was sucking on his wife's toes and making foot fetish videos instead developing his offensive and QBs.

Had Mangini developed his 2nd rd pick QB Clemens maybe they make the playoffs in the Brady-less year of 2008 instead the QB they cut takes the 1-15 Fins to 11-5 and wins the East..

[nyjunc]

I'm sick of the excuses from this guy.  he sabotaged our 2008 season, he played, he was the iron man and could play through anything.  he doesn't get a pass for any injury.  he ruined our season and even when healthy he was bad most of that 2008 season.

that was the ONLY positive about Brett, his awful [play led to Mangini being fired, the Jets hiring rex and drafting Sanchez then getting to two title games but, of course, that success couldn't last.

While I agree he never should have played hurt, I remember another player who was hailed as a warrior because he played on not one but 2 high ankle sprains and then again a couple of years later when too hurt to even practice played anyway  to compile with a smile..

and he played and didn't use injuries as an excuse.  Favre did the same thing after he threw away the Vikings SB chances a year later.  you can't be hailed as the iron man then use injuries as an excuse.

I'm always for the next guy up who is healthy over a vet who has his own stats as a priority over whats good for the team..

For everyone bitching about how Favre cost us the season: Favre had us as the best team in the NFL 11 games into the season. He then got hurt. Sucks, but he didn't go out and get himself hurt on purpose.

If he had sat like you butthurts wished, we'd have gone 0-5 with Kellen Clemens. Kellen. Clemens. And every one of you would have been on his ass for sitting for the first time in his career, and you would have attributed it to him using us as a pit stop or whatever. As if he chose the Jets. He didn't. He got traded here. You all know it too. 

It's unbelievable how stupid Jets fans can be. Blaming the best QB we've had here other than Namath for not winning a super bowl, when he had us in better position than anyone till an injury occurred. Newsflash: The Jets haven't done jack-sh*t in the other 46 years he wasn't here either. I guess all those years are Favre's fault too.  

Kellen.

amazing the amount of butt hurt in this thread.  I remember him hardly being able to make it up to the podium with his ankle the size of a grapefruit after one game. The guy loved the game and played his arse off for us, even if it was for only 1 year...

Favre didn't have us anywhere, he was killing us for most of that season.  he had a 3-4 game stretch that was really good.  I don't care who was behind him, Joe Montana could have been behind him and Brett would have selfishly cared more about his streak.  I don't want to hear injury excuses from this man.

 

the stupidity comes from fans that just like stats w/o context, who don;'t understand the game and how awful he was most of that season.  how he never wanted to be here, how he was playing to get to Minnesota.  fans that will praise Brett for costing us a potential SB season yet bash other QBs that have actually helped us win.

it doesn't matter who was behind him, he wouldn't have taken himself out of the game.  the streak meant more to him than anything. we know how tough he is, we know how great he was(though he was overrated) but he never wanted to be here and he played like ti most of 2008 then when it started getting cold he checked out.

Ok.

Has nothing at all to do with the fact that he was awesome here till he got injured, and had us as the best team in the NFL for a brief one week period 11 games into the season. In my 30 years on earth, that is the only time we were considered the best team in the NFL more than 4 games into the season. 

sh*t, it's a testament to how awesome he was, that he didn't even want to be here and still balled out for us till an injury occurred.

The only person who could have taken Favre out of those games was Favre. He's inferring it's not on him, but it's 100% on him. If he knew the injury was worse than others realized, it's because those other people were not being told how bad it was by Favre.

Interesting bit of finger-pointing considering how far removed we all are now from it happening... clearly his selfishness weighs on him.

+1  I vividly remember what a big deal that ironman streak was when he was here.  No doubt in my mind Favre wanted to keep that thing going regardless of how the bicep injury affected his play and the team's chances...

So that made him a warrior did it not?? How can he be a a$$ for playing hurt where another player is respected as a warrior for playing hurt??  Of course I think no vet should put personal stats over whats best for the team but there seems to be some hypocrisy on that subject..

except for the fact that he sucked most of the year before the supposed injury.  he had 3-4 very good games all season.

 

considered the best by who? we were in the running just as we were in 1998 and 2010.  but after 11 games doesn't mean much.  in 1986 we were 10-1 after 11 games and then lost 5 straight.

 

he brought excitement here there's no doubt about that and I am sure his teammates loved playing w/ a legendary player and that pumped them up but he was killing us most of those 11 games at 8-3.  it wasn't like he was tearing it up from week 1 to week 11.

NEW YORK — Curtis Martin remembers hating New York, and especially hating the Jets. Early in what would become his Hall of Fame pro football career, the running back counted the Jets among the two teams in the NFL he would simply never play for.

“I wasn’t the biggest football fan to begin with, but if I was going to play, I didn’t want to play for what was in my mind the worst team, ever,” Martin recalled Monday afternoon in a Midtown steakhouse. “I looked at the Jets as the bottom of the barrel.”

http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2012/07/curtis_martin_never_liked_foot.html

The reason he came to the Jets is he loved the Tuna not the Jets..Had his contract allowed he would have went to the Cowboys when Parcells was the HC there.. His favorite game as a pro was with the Pats playing the Jets in the Tuna's first year..

what does that have to do w/ anything?  he was on New Eng;and and then his coach that he loved left for us.  you want him to feel good about us in that situation?

 

I have no doubt he would have followed BP anywhere but last I checked Curtis played here from 1998-2005 and BP was only his coach 1998 and 1999.

ahhh, nothing like stats out of context.

 

at Miami: he wasn't good and allowed Miami back in a game we should have blown them out in.  if he doesn;t get lucky w/ a haily mary pass to Chansi Stuckey we probably lose.

 

vs. NE: Matt Cassell's first start since HS and he outplayed Favre.

 

at SD:  those #s look really good, don't they?  the problem is we lost bt TWENTY ONE points and most of his #s came in garbage time.  we trailed 38-14 entering the 4th, the game was over and he threw 2 of his 3 TDs.  the third?  leon eashington had returned a KO to the SD to the SD 5 and he led us on that long 5 yd TD drive.

 

vs. Ari: he was great against Arizona

 

vs. Cin: he was terrible, outplayed by some bum named Ryan Fitzpatrick

 

at oak: had FIVE qtrs against awful Raider team and led us to 13 pts. was outplayed by jamarcus Russell

 

vs. KC: outplayed by Tyler Thigpen, again kept terrible team in the game.  this was a theme throughout 2008 for him.

 

at Buf: was very good

 

vs. SL: Sl was dreadful, he didn't have to do much.

 

at NE: was good but we led 24-6 at one point and he didn't lead us to another point until the 4th qtr and NE came back forcing OT.  he got the job done in OT, good game.

 

at ten: was decent that day.  

 

it's nice he averaged over 22 completions but when you dig deeper you find he wasn't good most of that season.  again, 3 or 4 really good games.  other than that he was hurting us weekly.

 

it is most important we were 8-3 after 11, despite all his up and and down play we were in a great spot then it got cold and he folded.

Well putting poison pills in your contract was made illegal after the Tuna and him used that to escape the Pats in 1998.. Here's a fact before Hackett Martin was under 4 ypc 3 of his first 6 years in the league..With Hackett he was never under 4 ypc again..

of course he did, every player wants to get paid but Curtis could have been paid almost anywhere.  he grew to love this franchise and was loyal to us.  Favre had no loyalty to us, this was a man helping the Lions D prepare for the packers rather than learning his new playbook.  That week he and the Jets were embarrassed in cassell's first start.

Because they want a OC to also care about the QB and W/R's Hackett was hated by Wayne and the rest of the offense.. Which explains why Cumar was the only one that attended his farewell party that was held in a phone booth on Hempsted turnpike when he was fired after the 2004 season..
