Ravens should not pursue Favre

Trading for Brett Favre is absolutely the wrong move for the Ravens. They don't need another iconic figure who is bigger than the team. They don't need another former Most Valuable Player whose best games are only on ESPN Classic. They don't need this legendary headache.

Can Favre still play? Sure he can, even though he'll be 39 in October. He can still escape the pass rush, although he's not nearly as nimble as he once was. He can still throw the deep ball and the laser pass, but remember, he threw 62 interceptions the past three seasons.

No -- Ravens should not pursue Favre -- baltimoresun.com

Not to mention Favre is on the cover of Madden '09 which means he will be injured should he come back. Favre has also been in the West Coast Offensive his whole NFL career why would a team that doesn't run that offense take a chance on him?

It is a terrible move if they gave up a second rounder, but if the Ravens think they can compete this year then a third or fourth rounder wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.

I'm not convinced they can win, though, and they need to see what they have in Troy Smith while Flacco learns the system.
