I have no problem with his comments and think it is ridiculous that the media is making such a big deal out of it. It has to be frustrating as hell to watch your football team collapse by poor play from a player that is immune to benching. And who exactly is he supposed to vent to? They don't have a head coach. If anything this is a smart move, the more people that speak up against Bret publicly the less likely he will be back next year. Privately airing your grievances with the GM isn't going to make one bit of difference.

Of course, as a Bills fan I'd much rather see them kiss and make up and Bret come back next year to doom another Jets season and push them another year back towards rebuilding. Or even better, the GM ship Jones out of town and try and make Leon Washington their feature back.

I don't understand what managements desire to have Brett Favre come back is (they already sold all the jerseys). But do you think that there is a contigency plan in place?
Personally I can't see him coming back. His legacy definitely took a bit of a hit at the end here (granted there seems to be an injury involved). Is he going to want to rehab this injury to the point to get back into football shape? Is he going to want to learn a whole new scheme/playbook (assuming the schottenhiemer gets fired)? He has been an untouchable icon most of his career, now he is starting to take negative shots from fans, media and worst of all his teamates. Will he realize that it will get much tougher next season. They blew an 8-3 start with an easy schedule ahead of them. Next year they have to play the AFC/NFC south. Those teams won 33 more games combined than the AFC/NFC west, teams the Jets played this year. Does he really want to be in New York?
I just don't see the positives for him/the Jets (which makes managements desire even more boggling). Is it just about the PSL's? There many Jets fans want Favre out of here anyway. Maybe if they upgrade the reciever position and open the playbook up for brett he's worth a flier for one more year. But even that, he will be a year older and coming off arm surgery. Will he even be able to air it out if needed.
Add all of this together and I don't think there's any chance on him coming back next year.
