Brett Favre is no doubt one of the best quarterbacks of all time, if not THE best. He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 and was later traded to the Green Bay Packers where he played the majority of his illustrious career. Lets look at some interesting facts about Favre. His first career pass was to himself. He is the all time leader in Touchdowns, passing yards, consecutive games played, passing attempts, completions, wins, and interceptions. With these Stats it was no wonder Serby had such high hopes for his Jets. The Jets did have a chance to draft him in 1991 but were beaten by the Atlanta Falcons, who traded up to beat the Jets by 1 pick, landing Favre.
"'If there's a guy who can change a team around and get a team to contend for a Super Bowl, it would be Brett," Dan Marino said."
Serby hoped that Brett Favre's previous season success (the year he took most of those records he now holds from Marino) could carry over and that he could lead the Jets to the Playoffs and Hopefully a Superbowl.
Another quote to show his enthusiasm for Favre's season is "you gotta be excited having one of the great quarterbacks of all time playing for your franchise." Although not everyone agreed with him. A lot of people said he was way beyond his prime and that the previous season was all a fluke. Only time would tell what kind of move signing Brett Favre will be for the Jets.
