View Full Version : So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?

Minny is now 1-3, Farve looks like his December worst already, and now there are pictures of him holding his hog circulating the net with a potential suspension looming.
Randy Moss or not, I don't see him finishing this year.

I see rainbows to Moss as why he DOES finish the year. The self-absorbed, narcissist cares only about the TDs he throws and seemingly not at all about the picks. The national media reverentially refers to him as a "gunslinger" -- a more apt moniker would be "dream killer".

If Farve sits down, what's the Vikes option? Byron Leftwich? :r
The Vikings organization is committed to spending big money to win, or at least to put asses in seats.
Do I think Farve/Moss is the answer? I don't think anyone does. Brett went 60 yards downfield to Moss last night, and that's likely the longest ball he's gonna throw for the rest of his life.
You can't "buy" a football team, you gotta build one. If the Vikes spent all that money on building a club, chasing some young studs and making some smart moves, they'd be truly dangerous.
Farve wants to play ball, and someone wants to pay him 26 million to do it this year. I don't see him sitting down unless he gets busted in half.

I didn't see much of last nights game, but the parts i did see it doesn't look like Farve can throw the deep ball to Moss to make him affective. 5 shots into his ankle already? I think that he's done!!! Now I don't know what the "shots" are that he's getting but being in the medical field, that can't be good!!!!!

Most likely cortisone, I have had several in my elbows and shoulders over the last few years. They are just a band-aid that wears off in a couple of months.

If he's upright...he'll finish the year. He's had injuries every season in the league, it seems. There was the one year he played with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. His year with the Jets playing about half a year with a torn tendon in his throwing arm.
Honestly, the biggest obstacle for this team is the head coach. I've been saying this for Chili's entire tenure here. I don't see him as having what it takes to be able to bring a team to the promised land. Look at how they started the game last night. That HAS to be the most unprepared I have ever seen a team coming out of a bye week to a big game (or any game, honestly). THAT, my friends, is on the coaching staff. They seemed completely unprepared to come out and play. That had nothing to do with Donglegate or the addition of Moss to the Vikes. I'm of the opinion that they did well last year despite Childress, not because of him. He's generally a horrible coach at making adjustments, and gets outcoached on a regular basis, IMO.
As for Faereeevervarvervarveravrevravervarve and his ankle, it's not 100%. How could it be at his age, with the beating he's taken over the years. The injections are not a painkiller, but a series of lubricant injections to help keep what little range of motion he has left. What exactly were those injections? I'm not sure, but it was supposed to help keep movement possible there.

If it is the lubrication shots, its a product like SynVisc or Supparts. I've tried both, neither worked for me. They are a made of chicken goo. People can have severe reactions to them, particularly if they are allergic to poultry. :tu

Brett Farve will be able to outgame most of the quarterbacks in this league 20 years from now, in his hoveround.

I was disappointed with last night's game. They should not take this long to find a groove. Our defense is STELLAR. Holding the Jets to ZERO TD's with how long they held the football? But the Jets did tame Jared Allen.
Running game is decent.
Percy Harvin + Moss + Rice would be a real contender.
Are all the pieces there? Yep. Just need to put them together. My .02.

I know Vin pretty good. I'm absolutely certain he has a real good clue about everything he's talking about.

I have NO idea why they didn't put Moss in motion ONCE.
You know why they may not be able to get all the pieces to work well together? COACHING!!! I have said it hundreds of times that Chili as a head coach will NOT get them the rings they want. Frazier as HC might. They decisions and playcalling and gameplan pretty much suck from week to week.
The running game is better than decent...they just don't run enough. AP has only 18 carries in a game where it was a slog fest in the first half? Are you f'in kidding me? Run your horse!!! He's one of the top 2 backs in the game! Use the running game to open up the passing game!
As for the D, I'll borrow a take that I've heard...Allen disappears against the top tackles. Ferguson essentially ate him up last night. He will terrorize the weaker tackles, but the best of the best have very little trouble with him it seems. I'd expect him to be able to beat one of them occasionally. However, he DOES make plays down the line and has chased things down from the backside, so I won't completely rake him over the coals on this one. But for the kind of $ he's making and his reputation...
Why not put Moss in motion? He has no idea what the terminology and anything else they'll need him to do is. Look at the routes they had him running: flys. posts, post corners...essentially all deep routes. Once he actually learns the offense and has a better grip on what's going on on the plays, they'll be able to move him around and utilize his talents even more. think about this...even with his limited knowledge of the O and 2 TOP CBs on the opponent, he still had 80yds and a score. Plus, how his presence opened up the middle for Harvin. I hope that we'll see things open up more for Shiancoe as defenses try to keep an eye on Harvin AND Moss.

Agree completely. I was understating the "decent" running game lol. And I agree that the largest area for improvement is the coaching.
As far as Moss, I think he's a great receiver, and just don't like to see him used as a decoy. I get the idea behind it, though. Obviously, as the case was with the Harvin TD pass.
Agreed, hell, Moss only had three days to get some limited knowledge of the offense. He's never worked in a west coast offense, it'll take some time.
Agreed. For some reason I completely dismissed the fact that he had so little time to learn new plays/strategies.

In my own self-absorbed way I hope Favre makes it all the way through this season. I've said since his bullshit prima donna pre-season behavior that he wasn't going to lead the Vikings anywhere but down this season. As a Bear fan this comes in handy to only have two teams that matter in the NFC North.
However I don't think his body is going to hold up. One more good shot to that ankle like he got from the Bears at the end of last season and it's doneski.
Plus he isn't bright enough to realize that taking pictures of your junk only impresses 13 year old girls and possibly 5% of the female population over the age of 18. Flag on the play.

And as I said, my comment was on topic. I could care less if someone insults Brendt Farve, I have no relations to him, however my comment was correct, the person who I first quoted has no clue as to what he's talking about if he feels that Farve really is only concerned with himself and his records. As much as I loathe Brendt for going to the Vikings, his passion for the game is purely based on winning, period. I DJ a tailgate party at Brett Favres Steakhouse for every home game and more private parties for the Packers than I can count. I've had a great number of conversations with #4 in the past and would call him a friend, as he would me. In no way shape or form is his motivation personal or record related. So yes, in this situation, the person I quoted has no clue as to what the hell he's talking about...although he is entitled to his opinion.

Well...against many other teams when running that play, it won't be a simple decoy. He can and WILL be open deep on that route, but if the defense can actually take it away from them (as NY did on that particular play), then Harvin underneath (or Shiancoe) is the money route. Sometimes you gotta design plays to clear areas for other players, like that one, and depending on how it's play, what you expect to be covered may actually be open. That's the beauty of having a player like Moss. And with how many times they tried to actually throw to him on the "go" route, I didn't see him being a decoy all that often.

100% in agreement. Favre threw to Moss plenty, but Cromartie covered him like a warm blanket. Moss drawing double coverage is just as good as Moss catching the ball. Shianco is a freakin' stud and will benefit from Randy being on the team.

First off, no offense taken. Not having a clue is often how Grace describes me. I didn't take it as a personal shot but rather thought I may have touched a nerve based on the response. If Volusianator and Favre are buds, I can understand his jumping to #4s defense. *I am just as prone to sometimes blindly defending my friends even when the situation may not be fully warranted.*
I do not know Brett Favre. I am not in a position to have first-hand knowledge of his motivations and interactions with any of his four NFL teams. *In that sense, I suppose I don't have a clue.*
I do know what my eyeballs tell me though. *And my eyeballs tell me Favre is a me-first player who's agenda begins and ends with Brett Favre. *Does he have a passion for the game? *Probably, but it's not mutually exclusive of his narcissitic personality. Favre's all about winning? *Maybe. *So long as he's the reason for the winning. My eyeballs tell me he wants to be throwing the football and scoring on spectular, improvised plays. *He does not, for example, want to hand the ball off to AP 25 times a game - even if that gives the TEAM the best shot at winning. *There are guys who crave the ball in their hand with the game on the line. I believe Favre is one of those guys. But I also believe he consistently puts his team in the position where he needs to "lead" them back because he doesn't play smart: *he plays for the greater glory of Brett Favre.
I used to respect the guy. I used to buy the whole aw-shucks, gunslinger personnae. But after riding a river of crocodile tears out of Green Bay followed by the pathetic is he or isn't he retirement charades the last few years, I've changed my opinion of the guy. I stand by my assertion that he is a dream killer, and any title chances the Vikes have rest more in the legs of AP than the arm of #4. *Were it not for a guy named Desmond Howard, we'd talk about Favre being the greatest QB never to have won anything.*

If "we" is the Bears, then yeah, the statement I was quoting was that with the Vikings playing so poorly, there's only two teams in the division to offer competition to the Bears. I was saying the Packers and who else, God knows the Lions are no threat. Then again, with all the injuries to the Packers, we're probably not much either.

Out of sheer pity I cheered when the Lions won this week. Of course I'd already smoked three cigars and had about four whiskeys by then so I may have actually been rooting for the drywall for all I know.

Well after last night and watching him hobble off the field I'd say we are a bit closer to the end-o-Favre Fest.
Did anybody catch the fake SNL commercial this weekend with Brett Favre for Wrangler No Fly Jeans? It was hilarious.

Well, conveniently enough for you it seems he's sending pictures of his equipment to people, so now seems the time to apply for consideration.

Vikings coach Brad Childress says that Favre has a fracture in his left ankle that may keep him out of next game. So who knows.

Makes sense why he fell over in the pocket. Wonder if it went out then or when they sacked him in the previous play. All I know is that he went down faster than my libido when I think of a man wearing nothing but Crocs while sending dick pics.

I don't think it matters at this point. We're officially a long shot to even make the playoffs. Between Favre's flashback when he started throwing to green jerseys, Childress blowing the chance to challenge the Pack's first TD, and the BS call reversing Shiancoe's TD, last night pretty much killed us. :rolleyes:

I think the injury happened on the play he threw the pick to Hawk.
As for the season...it might be done, but after the game next weekend, the schedule gets much more favorable. I think they should have fired Chilly a couple years back. He's NOT a good head coach. Why the hell do you take a knee at the end of the first half with 2 timeouts left? Why don't you have someone in the booth watching the replays and tell you to throw the flag on Quarless "td".
I'm a terminal Vikings fan, and will continue to have my heart broken by them every year. I was disappointed by Chillys first season that we gave up our season tickets. The product he put on the field was not worth it. Fire him and bring in a PROVEN winner.

Except, along with needing a coach, we're right back where we were two years ago before this whole Favre mess. And now we also need an O-line, a couple of outside LBs and a few DBs while we're at it.

O-line = yes
OLBs...Greenway is an OLB, and it seems like Lieber has disappeared the last couple games, but has been a SOLID player.
DBs = If they could keep them all healthy, they'd be fine, I think.
As I've said all along, the only way the Favavervarvearvervarevravervve experiment is worth it is if they bring the hardware home...doesn't look like it was worth it at all.

Favre was quoted to say he is commited to the team so I think theres that question.
As for if it was worth it? I think so, T-jack won't be any good (IMO) and at least it gave us some good entertainment..
Besides, they should have beat the packers, the refs blew that one.. The NFL has even appologized.

I really don't think our O-line is that far off. We need Loadholt to pick up his game. He's not bad, but needs to get better. Sullivan back at center will help, and the left side of the line is fine, I think.
OLB's I agree, they are not the problem.
DB's again I agree, health is the issue. Cook looked terrible against the packers. His replacement, Walker, looked serviceable.
Coaching= the problem with this team right now. Out coached terribly on Sunday night.
Refs? What are you going to do. They blew it on the Shiancoe td/incompletion.
Bottom line is we have been in every game, we haven't played our best, and with the division being like it is, we could still make a run. Losing Favre, could hurt, especially since we traded away our best backup QB.

A banana, a snorkel, and a baked potato.
Which, true and strange story, is also the same answer I once gave Jim McMahon when asked what I was wearing.:sh
Speaking of broken up QB's that Giants Defense has been eating em up lately like a Fat Kid at a pizza buffet. Tony Romo went down screaming for a new clavicle last night too. They took out my QB and my backup QB (Bears) a few weeks back too. GIANTS HUNGRRRRRYYYYYY.... :su

We can't stop a simple pass rush, let alone a blitz. Every time Favre drops back to pass he gets mugged. It's been that way since the end of last season.
DB's again I agree, health is the issue. Cook looked terrible against the packers. His replacement, Walker, looked serviceable.
Admittedly, Walker looked better than he did against the Cowboys. But mainly it seems to be Winfield and Williams making plays. We never should have let Sharper go.

Lol. Jim McMahon and I have a close mutual friend that used to live here in Ft. Worth. Two years ago on Valentines Day he was in town for the Davey O'Brien awards and I was late getting to the restaurant to meet the group. They decided it would be fun, after many cocktails, to prank call me and have Jim ask me "So what ya wearing?" For some inexplicable reason my first answer was "a banana, a snorkel, and a baked potato." I managed to make him totally speechless for about five seconds, which for him may be a record. :)

Those odds have to be even money at best now.
I would think Frazier would ask him to go so he can a serious look at Jackson at QB.
With all the lockout talk with teams unlikely to drop big money on a new head coach, it seems likely that Frazier will have a good shot of getting the job for next year too as it just makes good business sense to cut ties with Farve now.

Frazier was going to be hired as a head coach next year, somewhere. I'm glad that we have a good chance at keeping him here. :)
As for Favrevarvervarevraveare...well, he'll keep starting, but I don't know that he'll play the entire game, every game. He may be given token starts with Jackson seeing significant time. Honestly, that depends on how they come out the next game or 2, and the results of those games.

Farve will keep playing as long as teams will pay for him. Do you blame him? Heck, he could be a back up QB and play 5-7 more years no problem.
