Brett Favre, Your Starting Quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings

Well, sometimes you just get it dead wrong. I admit it: I got this one dead wrong. When Brett Favre told the Vikings back in July that he wanted to remain retired, I thought it was over. But it wasn't over. Today, he just became the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. He left for the Twin Cities this morning.
My reaction? I'm absolutely, positively stunned. I know, I know: Nothing should surprise us when it comes to Brett Favre. But to actually see this become a done deal? It's quite a shock.
There are a lot of questions that ought to be answered. Was this planned all along? That is, did the Vikings know that Favre just wanted to skip training camp before opting to join the team? It's what many have been speculating: Favre wanted to play this season, but good luck getting him to attend training camp.
What happens now? Well, that quarterback competition we spent last week talking about is over. This just became Brett Favre's team. I personally don't know how that can be considered a bad thing -- the Vikings just got all the veteran leadership they could possibly ask for at the quarterback position. Among Rosenfels, T-Jack and Favre, there's no question about which is best suited to lead a playoff run: Brett Favre.
Indeed, the final piece of the puzzle is in place. Love him or hate him, Favre fills the final big need on the roster. There are no longer any excuses for the Vikings: They must take advantage of this unique opportunity.
But while adding Favre is a no-brainer for me from a football perspective, what about a more personal perspective? There's no getting around it: A man many of us have hated strongly disliked over the years is now leading the charge for our favorite team. Still, I can get over it. Winning some football games should no doubt help in that regard.
Welcome to Minnesota, Mr. Favre. With guys like you, Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and Bernard Berrian on this offense, this team has become a whole lot more balanced than it once was. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll start counting down the seconds until your November 1st date at Lambeau Field with the Green Bay Packers.

i just lost all respect for Brad Childress.
he led Jackson and Rosenfels on all this time. I hate to be a pessimist, but I think the lockerroom is going to disintegrate and we may stumble this season.

i have a feeling, i could be wrong
that maybe childress and bevell were not involved in this and were informed a few days ago, if he knew favre was going to be on the team why make a big secrecy of who was going to start, he could have just started either of them or even booty

Disintegrate? No way!
Are you kidding? The players knew Brett was coming and that he didn’t want to endure another training camp. Period. The only surprise is that the secret was kept as long as it was. The attitude in the locker room has always been “Tavaris needs our support because he’s all we’ve got.” These guys are professional football players with a short career and a limited window of opportunity to “get a ring.” All that really matters is winning. Loyalty to teammates extends as far as their ability to help the team win. If you aren’t helping the team win, you don’t get any loyalty. Tavaris has proven he’s not the QB to lead this team anywhere and let’s face it, Sage has been a functioning Viking all of what? Three weeks? How much loyalty can that engender? The key to a happy locker room is WINNING. If our Vikes come out and hang up 3 or 4 wins right out of the gate, this locker room will be a picture of serenity and nobody will be feeling sorry for anybody. And you can take THAT to the bank.

what about at the end of the season or in the playoffs (if we make it now) when we lose because of favre? think all will still be peachy in the locker room? think our free agents will really want to resign and play for a coach and front office they have no respect for? think any marquee guys will want to join in the debacle?

just have to look at it both ways. history says favre will collapse either at the end of the season or in the playoffs. that’s not guessing. that’s fact.
why would that trend change with favre being another year older?

No Respect?
Why would they have no respect for Chilly and Bevel?
Because, when the #1 and #2 QBs were BOTH injured, the coaches put in the call to bring in a healthy QB?
Because if it wasn’t Favre, who was it going to be? Who’s half as good, and available at this late stage? Gleason?
If our FAs don’t want to sign because Favre come on-board, the Vikings are better off without them.

Right. Better to go into the season with two injured QBs taking turns trying to lead the team, with Booty jumping up and down in the background, yelping, “Me! Me too! Don’t forget me!”. At least doing it your way, we’d have a good shot at getting a #1 draft pick next year.

He failed the physical when Atlanata traded him to GB. It’s only because ron Wolf personally stepped in and told the doctors “I don’t care, change your report, we’re keeping him” that he ever was a Packer.

Why I am worried about Brett Favre leading our team.
I will preface this whole rant by stating i dislike Brett Favre very much. It stems mostly from his time with the Packers, but also how much he have been overhyped for the past decade. I think he is a great leader, a calming veteran presence, but I don’t know if he can be the QB our team needs. This is team built to run the ball, and stop the run. They need a QB who is comfortable making plays when needed, and not being the focal point of the offense. When Brett was in NY and his last year with the packers, his best football was when the offenses were focused on running the ball. Yet by the end of the season, the focus had switched to Favre throwing the ball. Was this Brett’s doing? Was it the coaches idea? I don’t know. This team needs Brett to be a cog in the wheel, not the center of attention. I hope Chilly can keep Brett in check. If he can, this is a Super Bowl caliber team. If he can’t, this team could easily miss the playoffs. Now, I think I have to leave work sick, because all i want to do is vomit.
Jared Allen is to football what Jason Voorhees is to Lake Crystal.
Percy Harvin is Devin Hester, except someone very smart decided to teach him how to catch and run routes.

Well seeing as how he had a QB rating of 95.7 in 2007 with only one year beating that (1995 (99.5)) and another year essentially tying that (1996 (95.8)) I don’t see how you can say that

he tanks at the end of the season.
don’t get me wrong. i fully expect us to be handily leading the division after 10 games. that’s about when favre starts wearing down.
by the time the playoffs come around. booty will be the better qb.

Both Sage and T-Jack will improve by playing behind Favre this year, and both of them will have the breathing space to get healthy.

Jets
Favre had to switch to throwing the ball due to the run being stopped by defenses. If Favre would have been able to throw to some talent in NY, it may have been a little easier for him. Also, don’t think for a minute that Favre didn’t do all of this just to be able to play against GB. It will be fun to watch, and i wish him a good season. He wants to play, he is still better than 75% of the starting QB’S in league, let him play.

What?
If Favre would have been able to throw to some talent in NY…
They had the 5th leading rusher in the NFL and 2 recievers with 850+ yards each?
I’m not saying they were some kind of offensive juggernaut, but to say Favre had no talent to throw to is ridiculous.

Yes, but it was when the run was being stopped that Favre had to turn to Cotchery, Coles, Franks, all of whom dropped just as many passes as Favre threw interceptions. Blame the whole team, not just the QB when mistakes are made.

I have adored the Vikings from afar ever since they drafted AP,
and am a die hard Rams Fan by birth. But HOLY !@#$ batman! I am def going to follow the Vikings more closely. Favre has been blown up to be this drama queen by the media and admittedly by his waffling but he still has it. I hate to say it since I love a team that is in the NFC, but welcome to the playoffs Vikes! Haven’t been this excited about a season since halfway through the Rams last playoff run!

He has to know he won’t be the focal point with AP in the backfield. This team should go far!!

I agree
I don’t see this ending well for the Vikings—Favre is not the player he once was, left a lot of people in the Jets locker room angry at him, and turns the ball over way too much in critical situations.
He also helped get Mangini (sp?) fired in New York, but getting Chilly fired after this season is not a bad thing if it happens, IMO.
Oh well. It’s over and done—Favre is a Viking. No use complaining about it. Go Vikings!

Are we so desperate...
…. that we are now going to just let a diva run around doing whatever he wants to do, whenever he wants to do it? That is sad.
There are plenty of teams secure enough at the QB position that they would have told Mr. “I Hate Training Camp” to stay in Mississippi if he didn’t care enough about his potentially new team to show up at Training Camp from Day 1. The fact that our organization has so screwed up the QB position here that we have to bow down to this guy is just really depressing.
I do not hate Favre. And certainly I hope he succeeds tremendously as long as he is wearing a purple jersey. That is a given.
But this guy is more diva to me than team leader. And sooner or later that could come back to haunt us.

There may be a lot of reasons for his ‘flip-floppin’, cry-baby antics. But you have to agree he loves the game of football and plays it that way. It’s been a long time since we’ve had that kind of passion on this team.

I think Favre is vastly, vastly overrated.
This is a mistake. Childress and the Wilfs lose so much credibility (at least in my eyes) by letting Favre walk all over them. You have to wonder how weak they look to the players…
Also, this effectively ends the T-Jack era in Minnesota. Any hope of developing him is gone. He’s out of here.
I just don’t think it will be worth it when we finish 10-6 with a first-round exit again, lose face with the league, and have to start completely fresh at QB again.

All you haters are just jealous of Brett’s rugged good looks and his “aww, shucks” personality.
He is the BEST QUARTERBACK EVER and EASILY still a Top-5 (or Top-3 even) QB in the league.

There’s a difference between being confident, or even being cocky, and what Brett Favre is doing. He waltzs on in, after training camp, and gets the starting job handed to him. And people don’t find this wrong? He basically said, “I’ll sign, but I don’t want to go to training camp, so you’re going to have to wait until after training camp.” And we just went along with it!
And that’s besides all the other things he’s done.

let’s assume for this specific situation that Brett Favre is in fact a “gas guzzlin piece of crap”. Since we’re talking numbers (my specialty) I should note that the $12 million that Favre is getting will be more than made up (and then some) by ticket sales, merch sales, and everything else that comes with Favre. Just ask the Jets, and just ask the “depressed” sales in Green Bay Packers souvenir shops. So if you’re implying that the Vikings overpaid by $11,995,500, then you would be incorrect.

Still have to win the games on Sunday (and Monday, and sometimes Thursday or Saturday)…
and Favre makes us a better team.
Wouldn’t feel any different if it were Peyton, or Brady, anyone else holding up the trophy.
There is NO (zero, zip, zilch) loyalty to a city or state… this is about putting the best team on the field.

Buck Frett Favre
I don’t care if he is one of the best QBs to play the game, he is old and washed up. He played this game of ring around the rosie with camp and Chilly and the rest of the front office went right along with him. It takes time with a team to be in-sync with each other. Sage was just begining to sync things up with the recievers. We need a QB who makes smart decisions, doesn’t try to be a hero and doesn’t turn the ball over a ton. Oh yeah, thats right Brett Favre led the league in INTs last year. Sage would have been just fine with the cast of players surrounding him. I can definitely see Brett getting frustrated and whinny because he doesn’t have a go to reciever that can bail him out of tough situations. This will not end well for the Viknigs.

Serious question here.
Why are you buying a Favre jersey? I’m honestly curious. The guy’s only going to be here one year and he’ll never be remembered as a Viking, but as a Packer who screwed over his team. Do you have all kinds of money or do we just disagree on my last point.

my brother is a packer fan (since his move to cheeseland)… and I’ve had to put up with a Green and Gold #4 for a long time.
I ‘hated’ Favre for the way he could change the momentum of a game or steal victory from the jaws of defeat.
But it is that quality that the Vikings have NEVER had in their QB…
I will buy, to show my support for him and the team… I also believe he still has the skills to take our team over the top… and he will bring EXCITEMENT to this team. It will also be a little bit of ‘payback’ for me, regardless of how things turn out. I would NEVER wear Green and Gold, but a Purple Favre jersey will look good on me.
REAL GOOD.
DID he screw over his team? or was the screwing from the other side?

if you think tjack was in epic failure in his one and only playoff game, you should have several hof qb’s to that list and chalk them up as unworthy as well. include eli manning as well. you know, they guy who just signed the richest qb contract in history? the one with the superbowl ring. he tanked as bad as tj agains those same eagles.

It was mutual screwing at the very least.
And buying a purple #4 is definitely more forgivable if you have a brother who’s face you can rub in it.
Of course, I don’t take pride in this signing, so even if I did have such a brother I wouldn’t buy a purple #4.

after asking for his release from the jets he should have released a statement saying he was going to play for the vikings this season but he wasn’t going to join the team until halfway through preseason so he would rest his beat up body.

we have a lot of fans here who think one preseason series is enough to know how a player is going to do the rest of the year.
that’s why i’m wondering why so many think we need favre. sage went 10/13 against indy. isn’t he the savior? he throw all of 0 passes longer than 17 yards but hey he went 10/13 for 91 against an indy team that blitzed a total of 7 times the entire game (1 again sage, 4 again tj, 2 against booty).

How does a 40 year old that led the league in INTs last year help you win now? If you wanted to win now, you would have traded for Cutler or somehow manufacture a trade for someone else young and in their prime to play QB. Getting an overrated washed up QB won’t help you win now. You should have gotten Pennington last year.

Strike fear?
Look at Favre’s last couple of seasons vs. the Bears. I am not sure he strikes fear in anyone anymore and especially not the Bears. If I was a DB playing against Minnesota, and I saw his INT totals the last few years, I would be excited. He had over 20 INTs last year? How does that strike fear? How does an overwhelming amount of INTs help you WIN NOW?
Being familiar with an offense does not make you good. I am not sure of any point you are trying to make.
BTW, Cutler is working out great. You watch any of his practices? What an arm!
by brands735 on Aug 18, 2009 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
1 INT?
He threw 1 INT in a preseason game? Brett Favre averaged over 1 INT a game last year in the regular season. Good point that you are ripping on Cutler for throwing an INT when Favre lead the league in them?

Favre will throw more
Last year Favre threw an INT 4.2% of the time he dropped back (22 INTs on 522 attempts)
Cutler only threw an INT 2.9% of the time he dropped back (18 INTs on 616 attempts)
Favre used to be great. He still thinks he is but the league knows he isn’t. Look at his passer ratings the last 4 years. Only 1 successful year.

Look at Kurt Warner or Jeff Garcia…its not like you can’t perform well as a QB just cuz you’re in you’re upper 30s…and yes, at the moment Favre is still 39….and it’s not like something huge is going to happen to change him when the clock strikes midnight on his 40th b-day….saying that older players get injured easier doesn’t mean it’s going to happen to every older player

I didn’t say that. I am just curious as to why 50% of the Vikings fans are SO confident in this guy that was great in his prime, but has always thrown a lot of INTs. He is no longer in his prime as evidenced by last year. When a QB is trying to make a throw they can’t, thats when INTs happen. I don’t think Favre can make the throws he used to be able to, but he thinks he can.
Kurt Warner threw to Fitz and Boldin. I wouldn’t but Berrian and Wade on the same page as those two.

Favre’s yards per attempt the past two years have been 2008: 6.7 and 2007: 7.8….the 7.8 being his highest in his career and 6.7 being about average for his carreer…that says to me that he hasn’t lost his ability to make the same throws….also his completion percentage the past two years have been 2008: 65.7% and 2007: 66.5%…his average over his career is 61.6%….so I don’t think saying he can’t make the same throws is accurate

Different because in his 2nd full year as a starter he threw for over 4,000 and 25 TDs. He is not 40 years old and should have his best years ahead of him. The Bears offense SHOULD not have Cutler throwing as much as last year therefore less need to force things.
You whole theory about the WCO makes no sense. He is a professional QB and one of the best ever. It wasn’t the system that got him last year. It was him that got him last year.

Are you serious???????
Isn’t anyone tired of all the drama that constantly surrounds Brett? Didn’t anyone pay attention to the Jets season last year? He is a HOF QB that needs to stay retired. He is the puppetmaster and apparently the people in the front office as well as Childress will do whatever they are told. He tried to pull this crap in Green Bay , they had had enough, and gave Rodgers a chance. I can’t be excited about this season. I wish all the other guys luck, but I can’t enjoy it in any way. Do you think Madden will come out of retirement to call the games, now that his boy is back? How can any of you think this a good move.

As a 49ers fan who is just hoping his team can regain some dignity this year
I have to say that the Vikings just upgraded big time.
I think the team is much stronger as a whole than the Jets, particularly the offensive line, which hopefully will help keep Favre from wearing down at the end of the year.
I think last season Favre was shown that he can’t just win with any halfway decent team. The Vikings were missing one big piece, and if Favre stays healthy and in good form throughout the season, you guys are gonna be scary to face.
Favre ain’t had an Adrian Peterson to hand the ball to. I think he knows damn well he has the best running back in the NFL playing behind him, and that will play a huge role as to whether he turns into pick-happy gunslinger Brett. Still, I’ve been saying for two seasons now that the Vikings were a great QB away from being Super Bowl contenders, and they have that great QB. He’s not the Brett of the 90’s, but he’s better than those other guys.
I came here from a link on Yahoo Sports, felt like sharing. The Vikings are one of my favorite teams to watch on Sundays when I’m at the bar or with a friend who has Sunday Ticket. I hope Brett leads you to the playoffs this year. I also hope we somehow get there. At that point, I will be hoping that everything I just said up there is wrong and that Favre turns into Gunslinger McIntercepted, but I’m sure you understand. Either way, you guys will be living in interesting times this year.
