trading bays?

The latest rumblings from the NFL have Brett Favre changing Bays and going from Green to Tampa...which is exactly what Peter King said would happen. Sure, we've all heard the jokes about Gruden collecting quarterbacks and adding Favre will bring this year's tally in camp up to six. Chris Simms is probably going to be a Cowboy before the week is out and the other non-starting QBs are career backups at best.

Bringing in Favre will all but open the door for current Buc starter Jeff Garcia to go to a team that needs a quarterback (Chicago, anyone?) since we know he won't be too amenable to backing up Favre. It was just over a week ago that Garcia held a press conference saying he was going to hold onto his job so tightly as to "choke it to death". Jeff, I've got news...

How good of a fit will Brett be with the rest of the offense? Let's take a look:

RB - Earnest Graham and Cadillac Williams (if Cadillac is healthy) provide a helluva one-two punch, which is going to be paramount in protecting Old Man Brett. Both are capable of 1,000 yard seasons and safeties will have to keep an eye on these guys, freeing up Favre to fling it downfield to...

WRs Ike Hilliard, Mark Clayton (no, not that one) and the ageless Joey Galloway. Hilliard and Clayton are both serviceable WRs and if Joey Galloway can recapture the lightning he found in his Centrum Silver bottle last year then he can become Brett's 'new' Donald Driver. With three solid wideouts spreading the field and the strong safety needing to keep an eye in the backfield, the middle of the field should be wide open for...

TEs Jerramy Stevens and Alex Smith, both of whom could start on most teams in the NFL. As Brett showed through his many years of dumping off to Bubba Franks and then the monster he made out of Donald Lee last year, he is certainly not against throwing to the big guys.

Of course, it's all just mental masturbation until something happens...
