Thought this was interesting, more from the point that the Bucs appear to have gotton a lot of respect from the Madden ratings, making the playoffs in just about every NFC scenario that was simmed.... Go bucs!

Madden 09 sims Favre's possible comeback
By Aaron Samus
We don't have to wait to find out how a team would fare with the suddenly un-retired cover boy Brett Favre at the helm. EA Sports has used its Madden NFL 09 game engine to simulate the 2008 seasons of these four teams with and without Favre as their quarterback: Bucs, Jets, Packers and Vikings.
Regardless of whether he does come back and play in real life, Favre will be available as a player for in the upcoming Madden set for release on Aug. 12. He will be on the "NFL Greats" roster and, in Dynasty mode, can be found in the free-agent pool.
Here's how the reported Favre suitors would do with him at the helm compared to the starting QBs they are slated to use:
Tampa Bay Bucs
EA Sports
With Favre: 12-4, lose divisional playoff game vs. Eagles, 34-28
Favre's stats: 3,827 yards, 34 TDs, 19 INTs, 98 Rating
Without Favre: 11-5, lose conference championship to Eagles, 35-28
Jeff Garcia's stats: 3,508 yards, 19 TDs, 80 Rating
New York Jets
EA Sports
With Favre: 11-4-1, lose wild card game to Browns, 22-19
Favre's stats: 3,964 yards, 31 TD, 15 INT, 103.1 Rating
Without Favre: 9-7, no playoffs.
Chad Pennington's stats: 3,542 yards, 22 TD, 108.4 Rating
Minnesota Vikings
EA Sports
With Favre: 10-6, lose wild card game to Bucs, 11-6
Favre's stats: 3,356 yards, 29 TD, 10 INT, 100.7 Rating
Without Favre: 5-11, no playoffs.
Tarvaris Jackson's stats: 2,962 yards, 11 TDs, 66.8 Rating
Green Bay Packers
Will Brett Favre reprise his role as Packers QB?
EA Sports
With Favre: lose divisional playoff game to Cowboys, 25-17
Favre's stats: 3,769 yards, 24 TD, 10 INT, 100.7 Rating
Without Favre: 12-4, lose divisional playoff game vs. Bucs, 37-31, OT
Aaron Rodgers' stats: 3,211 yards, 26 TD, 95.6 Rating
So according to Madden NFL 09, Favre isn't going to win a Super Bowl with any of these four teams. And the Bucs lose earlier in the playoffs with Favre as their QB. You're better off staying home, Brett.
