After playing 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers and then being faced with riding the bench in favor of a lesser light (backup “rookie” quarterback Aaron Rogers), Brett Favre chose to do what he does best, act like a winner with regards to to win again.

Favre (pronounced Farve) forced Green Bay to trade him, and he ended up as a New York Jet. Favre was “family” in Green Bay, a little metro-market town equated to the glare and lights of the Big Apple. In New York, Favre will be roasted, toasted and filleted by the media pundits and fans, who are not patient and not happy most of the time.

As a Green Bay Packer stockholder, I did not agree with the management decision to let Favre go. I comprehend that Favre will not play at his normal level forever, and that Aaron Rogers has expended 4 years as Favre’s backup (I hope Rogers was paying attention).

However, Favre is a gamer. He passes the test on each measurement you can not make-courage, heart, determination, inventiveness and guts. Moreover, he owns closely each NFL career record you may measure that is worth talking about-most touchdown passes (442), completions (5,377), attempts (8,758), yards gained (61,655), QB wins (160) and successive starts (275 including playoffs). Yes, he is durable.

Did I mention that he is a 9-time Pro Bowl selection and the NFL’s only 3-time Associated Press Most Valuable Player? There are in all likelihood 100 more impressive things that could be said in regards to Favre, all of which left Green Bay’s management and coach unimpressed and still looking at Aaron Rogers. Is it possible that they merely did not like Favre?

Green Bay’s loss is the New York Jets gain. Favre’s new Jets jersey went on sale the day after he signed a one-year contract for $12 million, approximately the same amount he would have received in Green Bay. Once Favre was a Jet, his new jersey started out selling at a record pace–3 shirts each two minutes.

You may not know that Favre’s No. 4 Green Bay Packer jersey is the best-selling jersey in NFL history. The arrival of Favre will aid the Jets convince season ticket holders to pony up $300 million in seat-license revenue in connection with their move to a new stadium.

New York is on the rise. The Jets dropped $140 million revamping their roster after last season’s poor 4-12 showing, they dropped another $75 million on a state-of-the-art exercise facility in New Jersey, and look to build a $1.6 billion new stadium.

So how will Favre do as a Jet? He is not the introductory current or future Hall of Fame quarterback to switch teams at the end of his career. Broadway Joe Namath went from the New York Jets to the Los Angeles Rams, and Joe Montana went from the San Francisco 49ers to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Namath made no affect in Los Angeles, but Montana was huge in Kansas City. He led the Chiefs to an 11-5 record and the playoffs his primary year. Montana led a 27-24 come-from-behind victory over the Steelers in the AFC wild card game, and led the Chiefs past Houston 28-20 on the road. Kansas City ended up in the AFC championship game but lost to Buffalo 30-13.

A year later the Chiefs were playoff bound for the 5th straight year after compiling a 9-7 mark, only to be annihilated by the Miami Dolphins 27-17 in their primary playoff game. I think Favre will do well as long as he is healthy. Everyone loves a winner, and Favre is a winner.

Whatever happens, Favre will not take New York like the stage play “West Side Story”, wherein the song proclaims “When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet all the way, from your original cigarette to your last dying day.”

In Favre’s case, I think not. His 16 seasons in Green Bay has made him a living legend. He will go into the NFL Hall of Fame as a Packer, not as a Jet.
