Gould likes Favre — maybe a bit too much
Lost in the article that accompanies the twisted Favre-as-a-Bear photograph is the revelation that kicker Robbie Gould seems to be in favor of a Favre acquisition.
Apparently, speaking of Favre, Gould told ESPN, “he knows how to win and he’s won Super Bowls, you know, and he’s been in every situation possible and he’d make our team a lot better.”
It could just be that Gould was being polite and giving the ol’ standard response to the media. Yet, even so, you would hope he’d stop short of attributing Favre with the capability to improve the team — by a lot.
If the Bears were to really somehow acquire Favre, he would become the uncontested starting quarterback. If Gould really meant what he said, he was more than hinting at Favre’s superiority to Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton. And while it isn’t necessary to proclaim Favre as a better quarterback than either Grossman or Orton, for the team’s kicker to come out and kinda, sorta do it speaks volumes.
