They would have been a completely different team focused on defense and the running game so every game would have played out very differently. They went 10-6 the year before against the 14th toughest schedule in the NFL with Jackson and Frerotte. They could have improved on that this year against the 31th toughest schedule in the NFL.
Consider this, last year the Jets went 9-7 with the 31st ranked schedule and Favre having an All Pro year. This year they replaced him with a QB who had a 63.0 QB Rating, played the 3rd toughest schedule in the NFL, and still finished with a 9-7 record. Why? Because they completely altered their style of football, just like the Vikings would have done without Favre and just like the Vikings did last year.
