Brett Favre's bad fortune leads to some good fortune for former Demon Craig Nall.
Friday, Nall rejoined the team he spent four years with, signed as an insurance policy in case Favre's injuries from the 37-27 loss to Dallas keep the future Pro Football Hall of Fame QB from extending his consecutive games streak next weekend.
It may be another short-term paycheck, but the fact that he keeps getting callbacks has to be encouraging. Watching some other bullpen QBs shine when finally given their chances to take snaps in the NFL is encouraging to those of us who know that given the chance to play, Nall would answer the bell in style.
After all, we saw it here in 2001, and he did it on the pro level in NFL Europe. His limited game experience, both in exhibitions and regular season play, has been sparkling. Looking around the NFL, there are several situations which are crying out for a change in QBs. Hopefully Craig gets some playing time with the Pack and a better chance in 2008.
