Plus, he'd be a pretty big improvement over Jackson. ETA: He didn't have a great year last year, but Football Outsiders had him ranked as a top-10 quarterback statistically in 2006. The Jets receivers last year were horrible in getting yards after the catch (26th in the league), which hurt Pennington's numbers. (Additionally, Green Bay was #1 in that category last year, which may help explain Favre's great stats)
Clemens is still young, so a year or two of Favre isn't going to throw the development plan off that far. Plus, he was having a really rough start to training camp, so it's questionable whether he would have started ahead of Pennington, anyway.

The funny thing about this whole ordeal is, in my opinon, Rodgers isn't even the Packers best QB prospect. I think Brohm will end up having a better career. If anyone lucks out in this, it's Matt Flynn; if Favre stayed, Flynn had a good chance of being cut. Now, he can at least compete for the #3 position.

Ksig...if I remember correctly, 2006 was the last time they went to the playoffs....they have had an up and down time with him the last 4 or 5 years.....Chad will probably fit right in....and maybe teach Tavaris a thing or 2...can you imagine if he stays healthy with Adrian Peterson pounding the ball?

But see now it works out for the Pakcers (back to what you were saying) because now there is more breathing room at teh QB position...face it for the last 10 or so years the WORST place to play was Favre backup.....now the worst place to be is Jim Sorgi's backup....lol
