WOULD BRETT FAVRE BE ABLE TO PLAY IN TODAY’S NFL?
Posted by Sid.Saraf on September 24th, 2013 at 11:05 am

True, it hasn’t been that long since the last time Brett Favre retired, but his agent Bus Cook feels he could. Wait, are we on the cusp of another dreaded Favre comeback?

No we aren’t. Just relax. Cook, who was a guest speaker at the New Horizons Credit Union-1st & 10 Club meeting in Alabama on Monday, said Favre is in great physical condition.

“Today, he could play today,” Cook said. “I saw him the other day. He’s in the best shape I’ve ever seen him in, physically.

“His arms look like a blacksmith’s arms. 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.”

He rides a bike 30-50 miles a day? I dunno, this sounds a little Kim Jong-Il-ish to me. Can Favre leap tall buildings in a single bound, too?

But as far as Favre being better than a lot of quarterbacks out there today, that could be interesting. You can make the argument that Brett, even at 43-years-old, is still better than Sam Bradford, Christian Ponder, Josh Freeman, Geno Smith, Mark Sanchez, Terrelle Pryor, Brandon Weeden (and Brian Hoyer), Jake Locker and whoever the Jaguars are throwing to the wolves this week.

Not that it matters, because it’s highly doubtful that Brett comes back … right?

QB play has been dreadful since the QBs of the 90s went away.

Aikman, Young, Kelly, Simms, Moon, Marino, Boomer, Cunningham, etc. Guys like Alex Smith, Tannehill, Locker, Manuel, Geno Smith, those guys, they wouldn't even be 3rd stringers in those days.

Of course he could suit up and be better than 18-20 of today's starters.

I've always wondered why the position has suffered so much the last 12-15 years.

Manning, Brady, Brees, they are the exception.

Favre would make the Bucs contenders immediately.. But needs to stay retired. People are tired of hearing this story already.

I think the increased amount of attempts per game has exposed some QB's. The lack of a run game definitely affects the numbers.
