Yeah, like we ain't heard that before. :D

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

I hope this is it. I was about to start shopping for a new team if the AntiChrist came to Minnesota. I was thoroughly disgusted that the Vikings were considering bringing on an aging has-been with a bum shoulder when they should have been grooming Jackson, a promising young talent with the potential to be another Culpepper (pre-Lions, that is :r).

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

Thank you football gods!! :tu

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

I agree that Favre should never have even been considered by the Vikings. I don't see him fitting in with the team at all. But I also don't think that Jackson is the right guy either. I think the Vikings still have a need for a qualified starting quarterback.

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

It's gotta be tough knowing what you've always wanted to do since you first wore your oversized plastic football helmet that you can't go out and play anymore.....

I know it's been drama, but I believe he's still got the heart of a young child and is having a heckuva time quitting his dream.


Consider yourself fortunate to have been able to watch one of the best ever!

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

He's a great talent, but it's a good decision for him. He's a definite HOF'er

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

thank god I couldnt' sleep at night for the suspense.......

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

I for one would have loved to have seen Favre play for the Vikings. If for no other reason than to shut up all of my Packer Loving in-laws.
I also agree that Jackson is not, and probably wont be the answer. Michael Vick anyone?

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

He'll sign with the Vikings after training camp...mark my words. He just doesn't want to go through all that work.

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

When I was just a sprout, back in the Lombardi days, I was a Packer fan. I hold nothing but a sentimental attachment now, but I would have cringed to see Favre in that dang purple wing'ed helm.

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

Good.

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

After the tour boat fiasco with Culpepper et al. just a few years ago, I think Minnesota should stay away from the whole Vick controversy.
I really think Jackson has a lot of potential if they stick with him instead of swapping QBs every few games. He's quick and has a decent arm. Maybe I'm biased: I did really well with him as my starter in Madden 09. :r

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

Minnesota has a football team?

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

Good, hopefully the next time I have to hear his name won't be until his induction to the HOF. ;)

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

:r:r:r I hope Childress reads this! He'll probably cut Rosenfels!

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

This is a sad day. I'm a huge Favre pimp and I was hoping he would sign with the Vikes for multiple reasons. Now we have to rely on either a career back-up in Rosenfels, or a mediocre QB at best in T-Jack who folds under pressure. I'm still holding out hope that Favre flip-flops one more time and decides to join the team after training camp. You never know what this guy's going to do next.

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

I think a lot of that is the coaching staff. How can he learn to deal with those pressure situations if they keep swapping QBs?
Admittedly, Favre was a great player, but the last few seasons he's thrown more picks than TDs. And with the bum shoulder, I doubt he would have been good for an entire season. Then the Vikes would have been forced to go with Jackson or Rosenfels anyway.

Re: Favre to Stay Retired
 

Some team should give Favre a call and say, "Hey Brett! We could use a quarterback coach."

All you Favre haters can say what you want, but I think he has the potential to be a good coach.
