I’m so furious. Hopefully we’ll get that stunning turn of events.

Actually, I think this becomes even more interesting. Will the Vikes keep 4 QBs, given that the starter has had injury issues as of late? Which QB would be the odd man out if they only keep 3?

If they do only keep three, I hope Booty is the odd man out. But, I would prefer they keep 4.

From what I am reading, it appears that Brett Favre should be recovered in another few weeks. If he signs up at the beginning of July, that gives us two months to teach him whatever system it currently is that we’re using. (And yes, I hope it’s the Wildcat. And no, I am not calling it Loki. You create the system, you get to name it. Them’s the breaks)

To those of you who say, he’ll ignore Childress’ system and just do whatever he wants, look at the past two years of play-calling and tell me that’s a bad thing.

To those who say that he’ll drop off by the end of the year, if Childress shows any signs of intelligence, we’ll have the division wrapped up by then and Favre will be able to rest out for the final few weeks of the season. Giving him a two to three week rest should hopefully resolve any issues.

To those that complain that it is Brett Favre, get over yourselves. You cheered for Sharper. You cheered for Longwell. Suck it up and cheer for Favre.

We have an excellent defense. We’ve got the best running backs in the league. We’ve got a stable of decent wide receivers. With the changes from last year, our O-line is a little suspect, but should be pretty good. The one weak spot that time and time again is pointed to on our team is the Quarterback. Switching to Favre solves that and gives defenses from Arizona to Baltimore a splitting migraine. Load up on the box to stop Adrian, and Favre makes your cornerbacks and safeties look silly. Keep the D back to force Favre to hold the ball and Adrian grinds you into the turf.

Why the Vikings have not yet offered a contract extension to a proven player who already knows the system"Mr. Winfield". It was so they could overpay a Old, Has Been,Injured, Team Disruption, Interception Throwing, Mississippi Idiot, like he is still a Probowl caliber quarterback. Give me a break you have three count them three QBs in house who would gladly run any play you want just to get their shot, anyone of who could actually surprise everyone and be “THE GUY” we have all been waiting for.

we’re just coming off a week 13 loss putting us at 10-2 one game ahead of the bears at 9-3 and 2 ahead of pack at 8-4. favre is starting to show his age entering the last quarter of the season. we drop another loss in week 14 on a last minute interception by the rapidly deteriorating favre. now we stand tied atop the division with the bears at 10-3 with only 3 games left in the season. it’s becoming more and more obvious that favre can’t carry us the rest of the way but could, with rest, lead us through the playoffs.

what does chili do?:

a) kowtow to favre so he can keep his streak alive
b) bench the legend for a backup (your choice)
c) give favre the start and then pull him after a few plays to make his streak more bogus
d) IR him and let another qb take us the rest of the way (again, your choice)

this or something like it is what i see for our season with favre as our qb. this is why i don’t want him. look at his stats over the last several seasons. he declines at the end of the year. you can argue all you want about us playing in a dome, not needing him to throw as much, etc… bottom line is if he is our qb he will play and he will take the hits whether he throws 50 passes a game or 15 he still has to throw in practice just as much either way. he probably throws thousands of passes in a season, cutting back by 15 or 20 on game day isn’t going to change that. he will wear down. chili will be afraid to pull him and we’ll be stuck with a gimpy qb as we limp into and out of the playoffs.

bu tlike colwner I rode the fence a long time. I am now ready to see BF come in. My change was that seeing clips of his first 8 games in NY he did a stable job while increasing the win line for the Jets. He looked far more capable of directing a Vikings team than just hoping Copter or T-Jax might have a breakthru.
Now, I have predicted so much of this Favre thing since he retired that I think I should open a psychic hotline. It was no shock to hear he did the surgery. I had felt that for a long time. Here is my next prediction and I would bet on it: As I said before Favre played this ou tto get out of mini camp and OTA without looking bad and without the Vikings looking bad by spoiling him. This was all scripted. Now the Vikings lay out an ultimatum. Brett knows it is coming and why. The vikes brass looks good by playing no nonsense and Brett says “OK, I think I’ll be fine but I did do the surgery and the Doc said to take it easy til about July 1st. How bout I come in a week or 2 early and meet the guys and go over the system?”
Brett now got out of Spring workouts, Vikings don’t look like they pampered the Superstar.

I’m a Packer fan (just visiting) and HATE the vikes. BUT……. I"m also a Favre fan so if they sign him I will become a Vikes fan by default :) You won’t be sorry he’s you QB. He will lead you to the SB FINALLY. Good luck with him. (We want him back when you’re done)

Jeez another division rival fan wanting us to go after F(*^&^_ Farve that in itself should be enough to reject that reject. Farve was a Probowl QB because he had a very good running back duo behind him there. There are at least 29 teams that would have gave their left one for Jones and Washington type numbers last year. It was only when F&%#% Farve decided he could do it better later in the season that the team went flush. He had one great game and took all the credit for the first 12 games. If anyone remembers the first third everyone was making excuses for his poor play was a lack of time with the team. That would be different here how? He is “injured” the last four games. That would be different here how? He can scramble, 40 yr olds can out run defensive linemen in their 20s? How many times have declining superstars blamed poor performance on a soft tissue injury that noone can confirm when it actually happened. The old receiver with the hammy, the running back with the ankle, the QB with the shoulder or elbow. Come on people I would have won the Masters last year but I pulled a pec.
