Report: Rams Interested in Brett Favre; not Tebow

[Tailback U]

Well, that's because I am a fan.

Why on earth, as a fan, would I want to watch Kellen Clemens for 9 more games? Tebow would have given this team some juice, something to look forward to watching. Tebow was by far the most interesting thing the NFL had going a couple of years ago in Denver.

Because you realize that Tebow isn't actually making your team any better. He isn't a franchise quarterback. You're actually making the team worse in the long run by bringing him in.

What if your coach brought in Brady Quinn & Austin Davis? I don't understand this point. It's the coaches job to bring in and play the players best suited to help the team win. If the coach brings in Tebow or Quinn or Davis or Brett Favre or Marc Bulger or Ryan Leaf, and thinks they give you a better chance to win than Clemens, why would you be upset? You are acting like Kellen Clemens has some kind of sparkling resume that demands respect. He's a scrub.

Same exact feelings. I wouldn't want my coach to bring anybody in unless they were significantly better. And who are you kidding, Tebow is just as much of a scrub. It's a different story if you're bringing in a veteran who has won games that will definitely make your team better and give you a shot at a playoff run. If you're just bringing in another bum who hasn't put the work in with the team to win a couple more games I wouldn't be happy about it. He doesn't deserve to be on the team.

Teams don't tank in this league, at least not this early. I don't know why fans always bring up this tanking narrative. Most of these coaches would give up a testicle for another win or two.

It's not directly tanking. It's playing with the players that have stuck with you and put the work in. And no, most of these coaches wouldn't give up their testicle for 1 or 2 more wins. Stupid thing to say that you simply cannot prove at all.

Warner.....Tebow sucks. You are comparing Tebow's value to Kellen Cleamons, Brady Quinn, etc level of players, which should tell you something. Granted they all suck,

I'll stop right there. As a fan, i'd rather watch the guy who brings some juice & excitement than straight up bums like Clemens & Quinn. This is all i'm saying. I'm not saying he's a difference maker or can save the season, although personally I do think he brings more to the table than Kellen Clemens although it's splitting hairs and a different argument.

If Tebow were a Ram, i'd be looking forward to Sunday. As it is, i'm looking forward to college basketball.

If this happens RIP Tavon Austin.

Now this I found funny. You obviously haven't seen any Rams games this year (not that I blame you). Tavon Austin has been pretty terrible.

Lots of strawman stuff here. I've never claimed he's a franchise QB. I would argue he makes the team better than career bum Kellen Clemens, but I won't because the difference is likely negligible and not worth breaking down or arguing about, but the bottom line is I don't think he'a any sort of long term game changer, i'm just saying i'd rather watch the Tebow trainwreck and/or comeback show for the last few weeks of what is sure to be a miserable season than Clemens or Quinn tossing INT's and being their usual shitty selves. Zzzzzzzz.

And no, most of these coaches wouldn't give up their testicle for 1 or 2 more wins. Stupid thing to say that you simply cannot prove at all.

You don't understand the league if you don't think that these coaches want to win badly every week. They aren't sitting around thinking about draft position like fans do. They want to win badly, even if they're 2-11. There is no folding the tent in the NFL. This seems to be some new narrative lately among fans. It doesn't exist.

I understand your point, but I just don't see why the choice has to be Tebow. I also think that Tebow is smart enough to understand that going to the Rams would probably ruin any hype he has left. Tebow is about marketing Tebow.

Now this I found funny. You obviously haven't seen any Rams games this year (not that I blame you). Tavon Austin has been pretty terrible.

The only time I pay any attention to the Rams is when they are on national TV and I must admit that even that is pretty minimal. I thought Austin was everyone's ROY? What happened?

Averaging about 6 yards per catch. Last (or close to last) in the league in punt return average (4.2). 4 carries for 10 yards as a runner.

At first he was not being utilized very well, but that excuse is out the window. He is now the kick returner in addition to returning punts, plays nearly every snap on offense, and even started a game at HB. He has shows very little ability to get open deep, which was something he was expected to do. He isn't shaking defenders on the short stuff they design for him, as evidence by his yards per reception. He has done nothing in the return game.

In his defense, he did have a long punt return TD & a long TD catch called back on what appeared to be bad calls. But his overall production has been disappointing to say the least. And it can't be pinned on Bradford, who was having a fine year (90 QB rating, 14-4 TD/INT ratio, over 60% completion) when he went down.

Austin has 346 all purpose yards through seven games. Yuck.

LOL at thinking Vince Young had a chance to come in. You do realize Fisher aint putting up with him again.


and the media circus argument against Tebow is dumb. The NFL is a media circus. who the hell would that bother ?

the NFL as much as each team is trying to be about winning the fact is the NFL as a whole is about putting fans in the stands and making a profit. And the Rams would sell twice as many tickets in 2 home games even as a losing team because there would be plenty of people who want to see him tank in live action.

to paraphrase Eddie Martel

Tebow puts fans in the stands baby

Of course the coaches want to win every week, but not if it means they are going to lose respect from the team by throwing players under the bus. And especially not if it means they are hurting the team in the longer run just because they are so greedy that they want a couple more wins this year.

And yet another worthless rumor that had no merit.

 

[Argath]

The rams called Brett favres agent and asked if he would return lawl

 

[Maynard]

farvre would have been an awesome choice

 

[Tailback U]

Would be way more entertaining than tebow, that's for sure.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Favre is a washed up old man who brings the same circus to town as Tebow, but i'd have taken him over the collection of bums we currently have in a heartbeat.

Brady Quinn is the patron saint of lost seasons...
