It makes a lot more sense than trusting Matt Leinart.

Why? Because its your idea? No it doesn’t.

Does PFT not realize that Burnt Fart has lost the most playoff games for a quarterback. Ever?

That is more of a testament to how many weak and overrated Packer teams he propelled into the playoffs that had no business being there. Btw, Payton Manning will shatter that playoff loss record, if he hasn’t already. He already has a worse winning % in the playoffs.

I think whats being overlooked with this idea is that he might have one or two game suspensions due if he does come back. Goodell never did make a decision on the case, and waited till he didnt have to. I imagine he would be forced to deal with it if Favre comes back. and who knows, there might be some deal goodell made with favre, “if you retire we’l just let this one slide”.

Yeah that’s just what Favre wants… Give his all to a team, get them in a position to win a championship and have his heart crushed by his former team and their MVP quarterback. Let the guy be already. His career is over and he’s started to accept that.

the Texans surely can come up with a playbook that consists of healthy doses of Arian Foster and Ben Tate on the ground, periodic Brett bombs to Andre Johnson, and a smattering of short throws to Owen Daniels and either Foster or Tate.
====================
And this is the reason they won’t call Favre.
Because he would immediately toss that playbook out the window, start improvising like a crazy person, and throw 4 interceptions in a critical game.
Like he always does.
Because his ego would never accept the fact that a team had to dumb down it’s playbook for him.
___
Throw 4 INTs? Like he ALWAYS does?
The FACT of the matter is that Favre has only thrown 4 or more INTs in one game SEVEN times in his entire career. By comparison, the overrated Tom Brady has thrown at least for in a game SIX times, in a career about half as long.
The only one here who needs a dose of reality here is you, idiot.

I think Leinert will be “ok”…he’s got 2 incredible RB’s, an all-world WR and a good TE. Plus a great D that will keep them out of too much trouble.

The only difference between Favre and Lienart is that the season ending interception comes later with Favre.

I am sure the Texans believe that Leinart can get the job done. They willingly signed and pay him to be the backup in case of injury to Shaub.

Certainly the Texans were hoping that his playing time would not be extended due a season ending injury to their starter, but every NFL team is of that same mind set. Leinart was the back up they signed after evaluating the talent level available at the time.

Bringing Brett in as a back-up insurance policy to Leinart makes total sense, but that is not a reality. Brett does not need the cash, and he would never agree to be a back-up. The Texans have a ton of offensive weapons and a good defense. They should be fine.

“Not much has made me more mad then seeing that title, i hope to god you said it just to get people fired up. I dont even like the texans, but i like a Favre-less NFL.”

________________________

Really Joe2824, Really? The title “Texans should give Favre a call” makes you mad? Try this — Major college has a pedophile on campus, raping young boys, and the campus response is to tell him not to bring the boys around here again. THAT should make you mad, not some attention grabbing headline about Brett Favre.

All you people calling for Matt LienINTart are insane. He has proved what he can and can not do.

Matt LienINTart is a younger version of Rex Grossman.
=======================

How is that pronounced?

Do you think that’s clever?

In fact, all of you people making up funny names for players: it’s not original, it’s not clever, and it’s certainly not funny.

Stop. No, seriously. Stop. Really.

Call Favre? What an idiotic suggestion. I wouldn’t call him just to say hi. Did you not see him play last year? Or at any time in the last five years? Aside from 2009 he has SUCKED. You need to get his name out your mouth.

“…the job falls to Matt Leinart, a former Heisman winner who hung around campus one year too long…”

C’mon man! EVERYBODY knows that Leinart stuck around because he had to complete Ballroom Dancing…I think that class might just be a requirement at usc.

Leinart can hand the ball off and make check down passes to Foster just as well as Favre can.

All the Texans will need are a few alley oop bombs to Johnson and some screens to Foster when he’s not grinding up 100+ yards each game.

OMG. Really? I wondered how long it would take before grandpa’s name came up. HE probably thinks he could come in and save the Texans. He proved the last few pathetic tries that he is done. Just stop, no one , especially in GB remembers his name now.

Yeah, go ahead and call him Texans.
I can just see it now.
Superbowl.
Texans vs Packers
4th Quarter
15 Seconds left
Tie game at 35-35
Texans with ball on Packers 30
4th and 5
Favre goes back to pass. There’s a man open on the 20.
But Favre goes for the end zone.
What’s this? Charles Woodson intercepts and takes it back to the house!
Pack wins!
Oh, you so know that’s what exactly would happen to the overrated BrINT Fail.

Say what you will about Favre… the bad INTS, the photos, the Diva-like attitude. At least he is a competitor. I’ve watched Leinart at USC and with the Cards. USC he was good in a weak Pac-10 where defenses are quite simple and he had an absolutely stacked offense with reggie bush, mike williams, steve smith, fred davis, lendale white, and more. He was in the perfect situation back then. On the Cards he showed very little effort/savy and has the weakest arm in the NFL.

Good luck Texans with a weak armed, pretty boy quarterback who would be more successful starting in a USC GQ edition magazine with Mark Sanchez.

Give me Lord Favre any way…. awl day

That’s gotta be the 2nd stupidest idea ever, right after Sanchez’s bright idea to call timeout with a minute and change remaining.

While Favre’s ego is being bruised, beaten and shredded on a weekly basis as Aaron Rodgers eclipses his predecessor, the possibility, remote as it may be, of Favre losing the Super Bowl to Rodgers is exactly why Favre won’t come back.
