How the latest episode in the never-ending Brett Favre saga ends up is anybody’s guess, but he somehow makes his way back to Green Bay (even though Peter King doesn’t see it happening), you have nothing to worry about, Cowboys fans.

At least according to the ‘ Jean-Jacques Taylor. If you cheer for the Dallas Cowboys, then you want Brett Favre wearing a Green Bay Packers uniform this season.

That’s because he’s one of the most overrated, overhyped, good quarterbacks of this generationSuch sentiments should go over well in Wisconsin. Of course, Packers fans could soon be directing their ire at general manager Ted Thompson if the organization chooses to part ways with the future Hall of Famer.

Taylor readily admits that Favre is an excellent player but points out that he’s “as capable of throwing the game-winning touchdown pass as he was the gut-wrenching interception.” And look no further than Favre’s last NFL pass (to date) for proof.

Fair enough, but it’s hard to argue that the Packers aren’t a better team with Favre under center than the unproven Aaron Rodgers. And since the Packers won 13 times last season and have virtually the same team intact for ‘08, they would naturally be among the favorites in the NFC to make it back to the Super Bowl, right?

Sure, the Cowboys could beat a Favre-led Packers team, but Taylor makes him out to be more Vinny Testaverde or Drew Bledsoe than the guy who threw 28 touchdowns last season. But this is all conjecture, of course, because Favre’s happily retired.
