C.Biscuit97 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Good for Farve. He has a job he loves, where most people have to retire at 30, and he wants to play. If someone keep asking you to un retire for $10 million and work at elite company (the Vikes are now Super Bowl contenders), you would all do it in a heartbeart. How crazy is the Vikes-Packers game going to be at Lambeau? I fear some fat guy is going to choke on their braut screaming at Farve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure....yeah, they made the playoffs with Tarvaris Jackson as their QB, but Favre will lose a game or two by forcing a throw into double coverage that gets returned for a TD. This alone is likely to keep the Vikes out of the playoffs. That said, teams do have to account for him and Petersen. I wonder how much playing in a dome will help him as the season gets into December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets were 4-12 the year before Farve. He is still a good QB and the Vikes are going deep in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthGeorgiaBillsFan Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I don't understand the animosity towards Favre. It doesn't affect you or your team in any way so why should you have anything to say about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, lets pray a future HOF QB gets his career ended by injury because he still wants to play the game. Agreed, that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it affects my ESPN viewing every single year because the jackass won't make a decision and stand by it, then yeah I tend to get a whole lotta pissy. I mean this guy is a media HOG.

Steely Dan Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Jesus it's almost a done deal. He just needs to pass the physical! This guy is such a self centered A-hole it's beyond belief. No, I'm not gonna play. Yes I am. No I'm officially retired. No I'm coming back. No let the Vikings QB's know I'm not coming back and the starting QB job is theirs to battle out. Oops sorry guys I was just effing with ya. I really am coming back aren't you all so lucky to bask in the has been glow of one Brett Favre? This guy has an interesting point about Favre's coming back, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has an interesting point about Favre's coming back, again! The Vikes keep pursuing Farve. He loves football and was pretty torn on retiring in the first place. I don't fault him one bit and I bet he has a really good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see him injured I'd much rather see his skills diminish below RJ level and let him leave the game a pathetic embarrassment. It would be really funny if he was second string by mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hmmm...knowing Favre's past, I will believe it when I see him on the field in Cleveland on September 13. People don't realize that the following "underrated" QBs have all won or led their teams to Super Bowls: Trent Dilfer Brad Johnson David Woodley (!) Rex Grossman (!!!) Rich Gannon Matt Hasselbeck Tony Eason Drew Bledsoe Not a Hall of Famer in that bunch. The way NFL teams are built these days, you do NOT need a superstar QB to win a Super Bowl. Defense wins championships. The Vikings could have a defense for the ages, with or without Favre. Personally, I think that Brent's presence could tear a Super Bowl contender apart. It certainly won't help Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
