Can Brett Favre quarterback the New York Jets to the playoffs?

Quick, name the starting QB for the New York Jets. If you said Kellen Clemens or Chad Pennington, congratulations, you may be right; however, if today's rumors are true, Brett Favre may suit up next year for the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. With Favre under the center, the Jets would be a better team than they would be with either Clemens or Pennington, the former of whom has never proved himself in the NFL, and the latter of whom has a shoulder that's about as reliable as a wet stick of butter. Pennington has a sharp mind for the game, but he's not a playmaker like Favre. The Patriots are the Patriots. The Bills are getting better, especially with Leodis McKelvin strengthening special teams and the defensive backfield. The Dolphins? Still bad. But they'll win more than one game. So my question to the Yard is this: If Favre plays for the Green Machine next year, can the Jets compete for a wild-card playoff spot in the AFC? I say no. I think the wild cards in the AFC will go to the Colts and Steelers. Yep, the Colts. The Jags are winning the division... and also the Super Bowl. But that's another post for another time. - Dewey
