They come along all the time, these young guns eager to face the legendary Brett Favre. Matt Cassel. Trent Edwards. JaMarcus Russell. To them, it's a "grandchildren" game, as in: One day, I can tell my grandchildren I played Brett Favre. In that respect, the Broncos' Jay Cutler is no different. Leading up to Sunday, he showed the obligatory reverence toward the most prolific passer in NFL history. But, unlike the others, he actually threw himself into the Favre conversation, claiming he has a stronger arm than the Jets' quarterback. "Yeah, I think so," Cutler told the Denver media, laughing. "He's 39, soon to be 40. I think he may have given me a run back in his 20s, but I think I got him now." In Colorado, they call it necessary brashness. In New York, where Favre's stature is approaching Namath-esque proportions, it's known as Chutzpah.

Matt Cassel Could Wind Up with the Jets
Sun Nov 30, 2008

CBS Sports analyst and former NFL executive Charley Casserly believes New England Patriots QB Matt Cassel, who is slated for free agency after this season, could end up with the Jets. Current Jets QB Brett Favre has yet to tell the team whether or not he's coming back for the 2009 season, and the Jets have very few, if any, other options at quarterback.

A couple of things Petey :

The Jets added 6 Pro Bowlers, who are they ?

The Vikings DO have the leading rusher in the Conference.

The Jets won FOUR games last year, the Vikings didn't. 

The Jets had Thomas Jones last year, along with Leon Washington, Coles and Cotchery. 

I think it's a plus that the Jets throw a lot of passes to their RBs, it's smart.

Guts+TJACK does NOT equal MVP.  But Guts has won plenty of games now and is playing well.  Favre has also won many games now, and is playing well.  Favre also won some tough games on the road, NE and Tennessee. 

I wish I would have predicted the Broncos upsetting the Jets, I saw it coming and was telling several people this Sunday morning.  The Broncos were spanked at home, the Jets just had 2 big road wins (ready for a little letdown), and the Broncos had the WRs to exploit the Jet 2ndary which is VERY weak.  It's amazing the Jets have won as many games as they have, and somewhat of a tribute to the leadership of Brett Favre, a QB with guts. 

Just like QB GUTS Frerotte !

It appears my prediction of the collapse of the San Diego Chargers was a year premature.  Norv Turner is not a good head coach...it's that simple.  Good OC/QB coach, yes...but every single time he has been given the reins of a franchise, he's turned it to crap within 24 months.  There is a good chance ol Norv isn't the SD HC after this season (at least he shouldn't be).  Any interest in ol Norv taking over the OC duties for the Vikings?
