Favre was a bit better than his stats, but Thompson made the right decision. Favre couldn't get it down late in the season in cold weather come playoff time anymore. It was time to give the reins to the young guy (who Thompson knew happened to be ultra-talented, even if nobody else did).
Also for accuracy's sake, in 2009 the Jets also finsihed 9-7 and made the playoffs. The lost in the AFC Championship game to the Colts. They were led by Mark Sanchez who during the regular season was 196/364 2,444 Yards 12 Tds 20 INTs and a 63.0 QB Rating.
