I think it's a no-brainer, we should make a bid for Favre...let him mentor Flacco and release Boller( sorry Troy!!!!)...Why you ask? Well, Ray is near the end (maybe 2 years left) and he and a few others will not be here when Flacco is ready to take over...Let Flacco sit on the bench and feed off of the energy Favre will bring to the BIRD NEST and give flacco a true leader to follow and learn from....I Bleed Purple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd have no qualms if the Ravens brought in Favre. The window is almost closed for some of the purple veterans to win a title. Now the Ravens aren't a QB away from winning the super bowl, but nine wins could win the AFC North this year; a mark that is certainly attainable if Favre is our quarterback. To borrow a Madden cliche, anything can happen in the playoffs.

I don’t think Favre would go to Chicago because they have zero offensive weapons. Minnesota is a little more interesting with Adrian Peterson and a GREAT offensive line; but I don’t think they have the weapons at wide receiver to excite Favre. Bobby Wade was the leading receiver last year with 647 yards and 3 touchdowns; not exactly Donald Driver or Greg Jennings. The Cardinals would be an interesting place for Favre to end up, Boldin is a solid possession receiver and Fitzgerald is an absolute beast. They have a burgeoning defense; but they already have an aging former MVP in Kurt Warner and a young prospect in Matt Leinart at quarterback. Another interesting prospect would be Buffalo where he could throw bombs to Lee Evans every Sunday all Sunday; and hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch who will be a top 5 back by the end of the year. The problem in Buffalo is the defense where they will struggle to stop the run and the pass and the team in New England will give them two losses next year with or without Favre. So that leaves the Ravens with a solid receiving core of Mason, Clayton, and Heap; a solid running back in McGahee and a defense that is aging but looking to regain their mantel as a top tier unit. I think Favre for a year would be an interesting prospect in purple and black and could lead this team to a much better record than we imagined a month ago; but the real job he could do is to mentor Joe Flacco who has a huge arm and Favre-like improvisation skills. Let’s make this move it will be a good move in both the short and the long term.

hey nestor: imo to bring favre here is a no brainer, NFW. need i remind anyone of favre's woeful performance here in baltimore 2 seasons ago? it's time for the ravens to suck it up & spend 1 season rebuilding. it's worked this year for the other baltimore birds, even as inept as the angelos' management has been the past decade. let favre go anywhere he wants, but NOT here. <br>

As ESPN correctly pointed out last night, Favre essentially has a no trade clause. How you ask? Because any team that trades for him needs him to renegotiate his contract so he can tell any team he wants "Hey I'm not renegotiating". And the Pack won't release him. So there are only 2 scenarios left if Favre comes back.<br>1. They make him A Rodgers' backup<br>2. They trade him to an AFC team of his choice. I'm betting on #2 and I think the Ravens if they want him will get him. I have serious doubts as well about whether we are interested. Either way, I don't think the chances are as slim as the local fishhacks do(Schmuck and Hensley both say no chance it happens)

The Packers are not going to release him. They are setting up a trade scenario and I don't think they will trade him to an NFC team. So, the Ravens could potentially be in the running to get him, but do they really want to give something up to get him? And what would it take? If the Ravens are serious about rebuilding then they shouldn't give up anything to get Farve. That said, I don't think he comes here.

For you people that want Favre so bad...forget about the trade value for Favre, its peanuts in comparison to who the Ravens would have to cut or mortgage the future for, to get Favre. Which impact Ravens players are you willing to cut to shave $8 or 9 million off the cap to get Favre?

Update: John Clayton handicaps the field this way<br>1. TB<br>2. Bal<br>3. Mia<br>Says that Car and Was rumors are nonsense. And Min and Chi want him but can't get him.

As much as I like Brett Favre, I just don't think it's a good idea to bring him here. It's wouldn't be fair for John Harbaugh to have to deal with the Favre media circus his first year as head coach. Plus we have two very promising young QBs in Troy Smith and Joe Flacco who deserve to be given more of chance to prove themselves. Who knows one of them could shock the world and take the Ravens very far in 2008, let's at least give both Flacco or Smith a chance to try.

Is it just me or does every big name free agent or cast off gets link to to the Ravens. First off, why would he want to come here? Because the Ravens are a QB away from the SuperBowl? Please. Second, we already tried that "Get Rich Quick" scam with Steve McNair, we all saw how that turned out. Third, I am sure the man wants to win now and right now. He didn't want to tutor Aaron Rodgers so why the hell would he want to come and tutor Joe Flacco and the rest. All in all I can't think of a good reason why he should. I wouldn't. Any one who thinks that last season's callapse was just a fluke is fooling themselves. The Ravens are no closer to the Playoffs than I am. Sorry, no one wants to admit that but that's the reality of the situation. They aren't even the best team in their own Division let alone the Conference! 9 wins and a Playoff berth? OK. Last time I checked you have to score
