Last 4 games last year....

Tavarias Jackson 57 of 89 740 yards 8 touchdowns 1 interception 115.4 quarterback rating...


Brett Favre 75 of 132 764 yards 2 touchdowns 8 interceptions 53.3 quarterback rating.


You'd have a real hard time convicing me that Favre is better than Jackson right now.

the vikes obviously feel he's their best bet. and you did see about ticket/merchandise sales since the announcement?

Does Favre really put them in the Super Bowl? On the plus side after his bicep surgery, they also found he has a torn rotator cuff. Call me crazy, but signing a 40 year old guy coming off bicep surgery with a torn rotator cuff for 25 million seems like not the smartest move in the book. Even when he had the great season two years ago he stunk it up horribly in the NFC championship game and he was not good last year either.

You're in idaho. its not like you actually saw him play last year.

farve blows. some games he looks like superman. but then he has equally poor games. he'll lose as many as he'll win for you. He's as consistent as Riots GOP beliefs.

Farve doesn't make it to week 9 as his ego is dropped on his right knee leaving him with an ACL tear and another opportunity to retire and rise from the dead yet again.....if there is any karma of fairness in this universe the Vikings will go 7-9 and miss the playoffs...

sorry, i just don't get it. his playing, or not, has no effect on me, you, or anyone else. what's the big deal? i know some tire of the media circus-perhaps the issue would be better brought up with the media? i think when brett turned 35 is when people started suggesting he retire, as tho it was their business to tell him so. blame espn, as they feel the need to be first on the scene with big news. lol a football player playing isn't big news.

I think I agree with Dani. Unless you are a Vikings fan, who cares? Sure he's an upgrade for the Vikings. But he's also a guy that was on a 8-3 team last year and couldn't get them in to the playoffs. At times he was just plain awful. Everyone thought that he would improve that team by 2-3 games, but he might have cost them that instead.
If I was a Bears or Packers fan I would be licking my chops about facing him twice this season. It will probably open it up for Peterson a bit, but despite what everyone says I personally think that he had more talent to throw at last year in NY. I must of missed the memo when Bernard Berrian turned in to Jerry Rice.
At least they could use the torn rotator cuff as a cruthc when Brett goes in to the toilet.

I'm not convinced Rodgers is better than Favre.

i'm not either, and i still don't understand why the packers felt such a need to rush to the next guy.

I am not a Vikings fan but I care. I love having Farve in the NFL.

yeah, but the 8-3 team he was on last year was the jets...lol

seriously, one guy can't make or break a team in my opinion. but he will certainly help quite a bit, and is definitely an upgrade over the two qb's competing for the vikes starting job.


favre isn't the best qb out there, but he's still better than many. hell, i almost wish the 'skins had got him, as i i'm tired of waiting for campbell to step up a notch-or three.

I hope you get what you are asking for. Farve would get killed in the NFC East. He'll be lucky to get through the NFC North. Your guy is better right now. Farve is the most overrated player this decade IMO.

He loses games as often as he wins them... Just ask Joey. lol

The only thing that saves him, and he is lucky hes on the Vikings.. is the running game.
