Here are a couple paragraphs from an Article on Brett Farve being Vick's backup QB:
There seems to be a growing notion around Philadelphia that Brett Favre would make for a good backup to Michael Vick in 2011. This, of course, would be only if the Philadelphia Eagles trade Kevin Kolb as expected once the lockout is over.
I understand why this idea might be growing on some folks. Andy Reid was the old man's QB coach in Green Bay for a few years, and Farve knows the West Coast offense like no other (he and Bill Walsh chiseled diagrams on their cave wall).
Once Kolb is gone, the Eagles will be in need of a veteran backup for a year while Mike Kafka gets more time to develop into a decent No. 2 option. Adding Favre does make sense in this regard.
If he is, in fact, itching to return for yet another season of football, I'm sure he will only be considered for a backup position on any team—with his age and banged-up body, that would be all he can handle.
Would you want Brett Favre as Vick's back-up?

Favre's injuries from last year are believed to be healed, although that is just an assumption on my part. The past two years, he has dealt with ankle and shoulder injuries as well as suffering a concussion towards the end of last season.
