It sounds more and more like Brett Favre will be the Vikings starting QB in 2009. Growing up as a vikings fan I was trained to hate the packers. And beyond that their plays the game like a kid, pain killer loving, lawn mowing leader Brett Favre. And now he might be the missing piece to our puzzle.
How should we feel about that. Sure we would have liked to do it without him, but that isn't happening. So what if he does bring us to Miami. I think it would be great. We sat and watched as he won MVP after MVP with the cheeseheads. We watched him gun sling his way to two super bowls winning one. But now we get to watch it on our side.
Does he have anything left though? Is this just a bargaining tool to get a big marketing deal from the packers? Those are the question marks right now. We have to hope he has enough left to make the receivers better, and open up space for Mr. All Day. We worry about the interceptions, and mistakes he makes. Well we have a QB that does that in T-Jack, the only difference is Favre has the ability to be great, something Jackson is incapable of. Sage Rosenfals? He couldn't start for the Houston Texans.
We play the packers at home on Monday night, October 5th. That will be crazy if Favre comes running out of the tunnel wearing purple. I for years now have bitched and moaned about Minnesota being to conservative, not taking chances. Well if this gets done, it's on. We are saying we are going to win the Super Bowl this year. We'll only have a 1 or 2 year window with the current regime. Childress is coaching for his job. Peterson is one big hit away from being done. Pat Williams, Steve Hutchinson, Chester Taylor, these guys aren't getting younger. Right now, we have a very well balanced team that should be competitive for a long time. But now's the time. We added a threat on and off the field in Percy Harvin. He might handcuff defenses or end up in handcuffs. We get EJ Henderson back too.
Screw the code of ethics, personal conduct crap, or the culture of accountability bull. This is a football team not a damn church choir. Let's load up on painkillers and steroids, fire up those love boats, grab some beers, pump the Will Smith and sail our way down to MIAMI!!!

I don't think htat favre gives us any better chance than the two chumps we have on our roster right now. Way to many mistakes and he will break down. I'm not saying that T-Jack or Sage is the solution, but who the fuck made the decision to not go for Matt Cassel or either Derek Anderson/Brady Quinn and now to try to get this old fuck back on the field?
Yeah, I have to agree with Anonymous. I don't think Favre has enough left at this point in his career to lead us to the playoffs, much yet the Super Bowl. I'd rather roll the dice with the TJack/Sage poopoo platter.
Of all the QB's you two named I'd would take Matt Cassel, especially for the 2nd round pick it took to get him. But we've seen T-Jack, and he's terrible. Sage might be all right.
I think Derek Anderson is a one year wonder.
Brady Quinn is interesting.
Quinn and Anderson are both under contract so what would you have to give up to get them.
So weighing the options we have, I think Favre has the most upside this year.
Sign Favre to a 1 or 2 year deal. Keep Sage as a backup, and then do whatever it takes next year to draft Bradford, McCoy, or Tebow. And let them learn under Favre for 1 year.
QB ratings last year (2008):
Favre - 81.0 (22 TD, 22 ints)
Jackson - 95.4 (9 TD, 2 ints)
Plus, Favre has a torn bicep tendon. Are we sure he can even play?
I am a big fan of Favre coming to MN. I have have never bought an authentic NFL jersey in my life, had no desire to. If Favre comes to MN I will be the first in line to get his Jersey and I will wear it everyday for 1 year. Man my Grandma is going to be PISSED!!
