Question

Why would the Buccaneers trade for Brett Favre?

Answer 1

Yes, Gruden does love quarterbacks. Old quarterbacks, old receivers, etc. With Favre on board along with Jeff Garcia, I think Gruden is trying to make a 1999 Pro Bowl reunion team.

Answer 2

well apparently 53 qbs is not enough for gruden

Answer 3

They have a pretty talented team, and with a top QB, they could go far. It's a good fit for Favre too, because the team is good enough to give him the chance to win.  

Answer 4

Why wouldn't they? He can definitely still play well. Look how great he was at the end of last season. A couple of plays go a little differently, and the Packers would have had a chance at the Super Bowl. And, Chris Simms is still having health issues, I think, not sure.  

Answer 5

because their desperate. They must want him to turn on them too.

Answer 6

A quote from Jeff Garcia --  "(Gruden) loves quarterbacks. But he just likes to date them, he won't marry one"

Gruden is a good coach but his personnell decisions are suspect at best and the GM just rubber stamps them.

I'm a Bucs fan and I can't understand it either.  We already have about 12 qb's
