 Brett Favre did the Jets a solid yesterday, did for the men who run the team what they apparently were never going to be able to do themselves: He saved them from themselves, from their delusions of what Favre could mean to them, and bring to them, as a 40-year-old quarterback in the NFL.

It won't be for Kerry Collins, or for Kurt Warner, or for any other grizzled veteran you can name. Ryan comes from Baltimore, which disproved (along with Atlanta) the long-held notion that you can't learn to win while a kid quarterback learns to play, as long as it's the right kid quarterback. Is that Clemens? Is that Ratliff? Is that navigating the draft, trying to snare someone like Mark Sanchez or Matt Stafford?
It's on Mike Tannenbaum to let Ryan make that call, and it had better be the right one. But at least it will be the smart one, no matter whom the Jets pick. Finding a Favre Lite would be the opposite of smart. And the Jets too often have been the opposite of smart the last 40 or so years.
