Brett Favre should have been a Jet (Cards' related)

[daves]

More to the point would be Farve could have been a Cardinal.

Well, at the time of the 1991 draft, the Cardinals had a pretty promising QB, on whom they'd spent a 1st-round pick, entering his 3rd year... too bad Timm Rosenbach tore up his knee in training camp.

Back then they didnt know him, but now he has hoes all on him.

Cards and Jets go way back in weird connections...don't forget this one....

St. Louis Cardinals
1965 (Drafted 12th)
Rd. Sel.# Name Pos. School
1. Joe Namath QB Alabama


We know the rest of the story....the AFL Jets come along and draft Namath as well...offer him BIG $$ (for the day - I think it was the first million dollar contract??) which of course the Cardinals wouldn't dream of... and Broadway Joe was born.

the real irony is that both the falcons and jets were targeting qb's, which meant that the cards could have traded down to the jets spot and STILL gotten mike jones (the dude they wanted) and likely have picked up another draft pick. i may be wrong, but i'll bet there weren't a lot of teams that were going to all of a sudden trade up to the 33rd spot to snag mike jones away from the cards . . . just a hunch. same old cards, even back then.

Graves sucks!

And Kyle VB.

I was looking at 2nd and 3rd round guys but so many of them simply washed out never having even a half way decent career with the Cards or any other NFL team I got discouraged and quit.
