I hate to say, 'I told you so,' but...

Yeah, I so said this back in August:

'The Jets had gambled on salary-cap hell for one small window of a Super Bowl opportunity. At the time of the conversation, the GM suggested the Jets could be as much as $15 million-$20 million over the cap when the offseason arrived. And if the wager on Favre didn’t end in a serious run at a championship, the Jets would be in significant trouble. Why? Because the entire gamble would hang on Favre’s unpredictable and emotional nature at the end of a season. The free agent gluttony and willingness to put the team’s future into the hands of Favre was the NFL version of the Battle of the Bulge – one desperate and risky head-on run, hoping to break through to a championship. If the risk failed, it would mean imminent disaster.

Well, here the Jets are, coping with a veteran roster that has them pressed firmly against the salary cap, and with Favre’s retirement, no franchise quarterback in sight.'

I'm dying to know who they will actually get as QB. Rumors have suggested Jeff Garcia but that can't actually happen, right?
