Simply unbelievable.

You have got to make the playbook easier. He has only been there for One week.......give the guy a break. You can't expect him to run the entire offense in three weeks.

Should have stayed retired.......

And welcome to the Farve thread. Feel free to post hate and misinformed ignorant blatherings.

I think the ridiculous NFL offenses should all be simplified - who needs plays like "Z Cross, X Post-38, 26 left smash on 1" just to say handoff to the left?

Mangina was last seen handing Favre "JETS for dummies"

"I don't want to think". Not exactly what you want to hear from your quarterback but whenever a new guy comes in and they're unfamiliar with the system the new of plays is pared down until they get up to speed.

the number of plays not new plays

I have a feeling that Favre wakes up in the middle of the night screaming about what he has gotten himself into. What does it matter what play they call? Favre will end up rolling out and throwing the ball left handed behind his back anyway.

yeah jets, favre is old u know. make life simple for grandpa.

he's so right though... simplify... the game is based on reaction and the ability to improvise while staying in sync with what the rest of the players are reacting to....

it's about execution, just as much if not more, than x's and o's....

That's weird, the guy that thought he could walk into Green Bay and over-ride the owner, GM, and coach, already wants things his way with his new team. How about not going there if he didn't think he could handle their offense? It's not like the Jets are even known for having a particularly complicated playbook. God help him if he played for Martz. I can't imagine how much they'd have to dumb it down for him then. I'm so tired of Favre thinking he knows better than everyone else. "There needs to be some kind of middle ground" Not really. I'd like to see Mangini's reaction if Pennington or Clemmens had said that.

It has nothing to do with the complexity of the playbook or Favre's ability to learn it. Favre's playing style has always been more of the school yard style....tell your recievers to get open and throw the ball to whoever catches your eye...

I'd like to see Mangini's reaction if Pennington or Clemmens had said that.

neither of those QBs has earned anything resembling enough respect to make requests/demands....

I thought the Jets just wanted an offense ... simple or not ..

Brett is looking for the best way to make the offense effective. I like it.

Some of you people are really stupid.

You DON'T want to have to think, when you are playing. You want to know every different angle of the playbook before you go out there.

Brett needs about 100 plays at this point. The playbook is probably over 400 plays with variations of each. At this point just get a comfort level and develope a groove.
