Playing what-if's: If Ben is (gasp!) out for the season would you want Favre to replace him?

Ok, this might seem a bit unconventional for a first thread, but here goes:

If things turn out to be bad for Ben (which hopefully wont be the case) would you want Lefty or Batch replacing him OR would you want the front office to hop down to Hattiesburg and get Brett Favre off the tracter. Who would give the Steelers a better chance for a playoff run?

It's unconventional to say the least but I like the idea. If Favre is in decent shape and doesn't get killed in the first three quarters he can throw it better than Lefty. After all Michael Vick was away from the game for a long time and he had a great first season with the Eagles. Obviously it won't happen but it would be fun to watch.

NO I wouldn't want Favre if he were the only possible option.

Lefty is a Tebow that cant run....

We better find someone fast now... this is what happens when you dont draft a young QB.

Now we could have 7 games coming up to groom a young backup.. but no.. we have two old losers...

So lets shop McNabb and Farve fast...

Ben is always hurt sometime in November.. Is that why we play the Ravens twice in november...

This sucks..

Favre? SMH

Is this a serious question? Favre? what year is this?

BOOM! Here's a guy that's too old to play football!

I would like to see Ben play this weekend: BUT if not we can still get it done with Leftwich/Batch: The Ravens defense is NOT was it use to be. In there last three games, they gave up a 200 rusher twice, They are without the best ILB and the best CB, Suggs is back, but in name only. He is like the Steelers James Harrison, YES he is out there, but not what he was, because they are hurt.

Why not jim Kelly or joe Montana? I'm sure they are abailable too.

Seriously, this is why I wanted them to draft Moore from Boise st. Would have made for a capable backup and could run Haley's offense.

Right now, our o-line better bring their big boy pants to work the rest if the year, cause we have to run the ball better than we did last night!

Gotta start batch! He's better than leftwich, although that's like saying Rachel Maddow is prettier than Sandra Bernhardt!
