Thomas rips Favre

**1inStripes** · January 2nd, 2009, 11:46 AM

Basically he said the questions that were asked in the interview were general questions, not ones specifically toward Favre and he answered how he felt toward those general questions. Jacobsen then asked if he though Favre should have been pulled and he would only say it wasn't his position, but the coaches to make those decisions. Jacobsen then asked if he wanted Favre back next season and Thomas said again it wasn't his decision but that of the GM and owner.

How many years has TJ gotten this many yards? He is a good back, but I don't think he can carry a team. I might have called some different plays , if I was calling them- but Farve isn't running the show from the huddle, either.

IMO, as I said earlier the Jets running game was helped moreso by the additions of Faneca and Woody than Favre.

If they kept Pennington and not gotten Favre they may have gotten farther. In other words, Favre was more of a detriment than he was a help to the team.

Gotta love the media, I would like to hear the entire interview on HOT 97 to see what was asked and how he answered them because the media can take certain quotes or words from a player and make them look different than intended. Don't get me wrong, he may have said what they said he said, but it is the media.

Okay. That is the reason, the Jets are so well known .

I can't blame TJ for the way he feels but if he has beef with one of his team mates he needs to take that to him not the public!

He turned himself into T.O......J overnight.

Pennington wouldn't have been able to throw the ball down the field well for even half of the season, which Favre did. He wouldn't have turned the ball over though, but then Favre does that no matter what his arm is like. Give Favre a whole offseason to prepare and work with his teammates, and I think his numbers could be staggering next year. He also had a torn bicep or something I think I read. His arm strength isn't as great as it one was, but it is still better than most.
