"One of the factors in LaDainian Tomlinson's decision to sign with the New York Jets instead of the Minnesota Vikings was the uncertainty regarding the playing status of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre.
But according to Bob Glauber of Newsday, Favre himself attempted to assuage any doubts Tomlinson had.
Glauber reports, citing a source familiar with the Vikings' situation, that Favre was heavily involved in the recruitment process and spoke to Tomlinson by phone.
I'm not among the 35 online subscribers to Newsday, so I can't tell you what else Glauber's story says, but Glauber notes that if Favre is actively trying to recruit players for the Vikings' 2010 roster, that's a pretty big clue that Favre himself plans to be on the Vikings' 2010 roster.
Of course, even if that's what Favre plans right now, the chances are pretty good that he'll change his mind in the next few months. Probably several times."
Good news! :D :D :D

If Favre really did try to help recruit Tomslinson...
Then I don’t know what Tomlinson is thinking…he passed up the chance to play with a HOF QB and a high octane offense in order to play with a mediocre second year QB and a team that is successful because of their defense.

"If Favre really did try to help recruit Tomlinson then I don't know what Tomlinson was thinking..."
Money then, or maybe a friendship with Cromartie? The latter seems like a huge stretch, so that leaves money. If his agenda was a ring and he believed Favre was coming back, going to the Jets looks pretty dumb.
What begins in fear usually ends in folly.

He may have been thinking
that with that great defence of the Jets he could be an offensive star. Especially running behind the mammoths that the Jets employ as line men. Think about it, a great defensive team is trying to get you, or a great offensive team. If you go with the offensive team your just a cog in the machine on the great defensive team however you will be the reason they turn it aroun (which they won’t)
I think the rumors of LT’s ego being dead were a bit on the early side.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Well..
he sure did pass on that dream of his of catching a TD pass from Favre.. Signing w/ the Jets basically confirmed that..
Poor LT…… Passed on a last-chance opportunity.
Breaking News. Will somebody Please notify Revenge4Farve that his guy is coming back.
Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes
HAHAH
I can see the post now..
Proof that Favre is coming back for the 2010 season……
100% guaranteed!!!!!
LOL
Brett Favre is the Greatest QB in NFL History!
Brett Favre will be back in 2010, 100% Guaranteed!

Conflicting reports
Whatever the truth is, I hope Favre comes back, and LT was worth a shot. It takes two to tango.
Yikes
I read that not as BF definitely coming back, but requiring a better team than last year in order to return.
If defense wins championships, then I’d have to think that the Jets would be a better option were I LT2 also. Sure, the Vikes consistently have stopped the run well, but the ability to pass and prevent the opponent from passing are the real keys to winning in the playoffs, and with Leslie Frazier returning again, I don’t expect much improvement in the secondary unless a CB is drafted in the 1st.
Uh, How then did the Jets win in the playoffs if the ability to pass is the key?

Look it up
Wild Card game: Sanchez had a 139.4 rating.
Divisional round: Sanchez didn’t have a great game, but he threw fewer INTs than Rivers while Shonn Greene averaged more than 5.0 ypc.
In 3 playoff games, his rating was 92.7.
AFCCG: Sanchez posts a 93.3 rating vs. the Colts, but some guy named Peyton Manning posts a 123.6 rating, so his team goes on to the Super Bowl in which some guy named Drew Brees wins the game by posting a better passer rating than that Manning guy.
If that doesn’t signal to you that the ability to pass in the playoffs is crucial, then I suppose that no amount of information could change your mind.
I don’t understand how or why it’s become fashionable to bag on Marc Sanchez, whose worst playoff game as a rookie (about 60) was still so much better than Tarvaris Jackson’s 45 passer rating in the playoffs as a 3rd year player. Sanchez is very likely to improve between his rookie and next 2 seasons while TJ is not. Sanchez had 9 good games (77+ rating) and 7 bad games as a rookie and 2 very good games in 3 playoff games (11/19). With the benefit of more experience and coaching, TJ has had 9 good games (75+ rating) out of 19 starts plus a terrible playoff game (9/20, or 8/20 if held to the same standard as Sanchez).
Jackson
I didn’t start this. But I will reply.
Sanchez: 12 TD, 20 INT, 364 attempts, 63.0 rating
Jackson, career: 21 TD, 18 INT, 545 attempts, 77.9 rating
After that comparison, I won’t have to say anything more.

Career #s
OK, we will revisit this after Sanchez has been in the league 3-4 years. I doubt Sanchez’s stats will have the benefit of the garbage time that TJ has had, but then again Sanchez probably won’t need it.
Apples-to-apples comparison (rookie seasons):
Sanchez: 12 TD, 20 INT, 63.0 rating plus a 92.7 rating in 3 playoff games
T. Jackson: 2 TD. 4 INT, 62.5 rating plus a 45.4 rating in 1 playoff game 2 years later.
Your original point was that Jackson now is not as good as Sanchez now. That being disproved, you may now take the new position that Jackson is better than Sanchez now, but Sanchez might catch up. With that, I agree.
As for future progression, that’s conjecture.
by medicineball on Mar 15, 2010 5:27 PM CDT up reply actions
My point is that Sanchez is better than Jackson, absolutely
Sanchez has already done more in 1 year than TJ has in 4 years, except for looking good in garbage time. Sanchez just hasn’t had that opportunity.
Forecasting is always conjecture, but it is far more reasonable to think that Sanchez will improve in his next 2 years based on his playoff performance in his rookie year because most QBs improve upon their rookie seasons (even if it isn’t enough to warrant starting anytime in their careers).
TJ fans don’t understand that it is not as likely for a 4th-5th year QB to have the same potential to improve, nor do TJ fans understand that his career stats are padded at this point and still not above average let alone impressive. Once in a great while, the light goes on with someone like Rich Gannon after 10 long years of being less than good and more than 200 NFL QBs coming and going during that time. Sometimes that half percent chance of lightning in a bottle happens in a 10-year period.
Sometimes, it really doesn’t. The Cardinals let go of Jake Plummer after 6 below average seasons, and then he caught on in Denver for a few seasons. Cardinals fans should not have been upset that Jake Plummer looked good for a few years there since they were able to more than replace him with Kurt Warner, a much better option. Without the garbage time, TJ’s stats are not as impressive as Jake Plummer’s…and Plummer led the league in INTs twice!
Not sure I would say it's disproved
A QB brings a lot to a game other than his rating.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
I didn't start it either ( well maybe)
I was simply trying to comment on one thing. The jets are a running team. I like Mark Sanchez a lot. I think he will turn into a Franchise QB for the Jets. But just like Baltimore did with Flacco they ran the ball to take the weight off of the rookie QBs shoulder.
It doesn’t take a great passing attack to win in the playoffs. It certainly does not hurt either. If you can not run the ball it is imperative to have a great passing attack.
Cool Down KC. There is a long way to go before the season even starts. But I don’t think the Jets have any better chance with LT than without him. There run game will still be good.
They have a great young team and will only get better.

With a heavy-run team...
They’ll probably stack the box better as well..
Making it harder for the Jets to run…
Unless they have faith in Mark and get a better passing attack.
How can you say that passing is not required to do well in the playoffs?
Do you watch the games and have an idea of who is playing them?
This year: Brees defeats P. Manning. Probably the 2 best QBs in the game. Other top QBs like Philip Rivers, Kurt Warner, Romo BF (and perhaps Flacco) also advanced in the playoffs this year. (There are at least 4 future HoF QBs in that group, by the way.)
Last year: Same QBs plus Donovan McNabb advanced in the playoffs. SB = Kurt Warner vs. Roethlisberger in a shootout. The RBs hardly mattered, and the game was won on that great pass to Santonio Holmes.
2007: Add Tom Brady and Matt Hasselbeck to the list of QBs who consistently had ranked highly and advanced in the playoffs. SB was won on the luckiest pass play in the history of the game by a mediocre but good enough Eli Manning. Had the game been played over 99 more times, Tom Brady and the Patriots would have won the other 99×.
2006: The inconsistent Rex Grossman finally stops getting lucky while riding a stout run D and running game. Aside from Grossman, the same QBs advanced in the playoffs as in the previously mentioned years. Peyton Manning leads the Colts to a SB win over the best D in the league that year.
Whether this held true prior to 2006 or not (and it did: See Kurt Warner in 1999 and Tom Brady 3x and only 2 excptions since ’99), that is 4 years in a row in which the passing game was the #1 factor in deciding the Super Bowl. It is definitely true of the current era.
I didn't say " passing is not required".
You shouldn’t misquote me. I said the following.
It doesn’t take a great passing attack to win in the playoffs. It certainly does not hurt either. If you can not run the ball it is imperative to have a great passing attack.
I never said a great passing attack won’t win you a superbowl. It certainly can. So can a great running game.
I bellieve that the Jets and Baltimore teams have shown my statement to be true. I agree that the NFL has turned into a pass heavy league. New rules make it more difficult to stop a passing attack. But running the ball is still an effective weapon. Cowboys, Saints, Vikings and Jets all had solid run games this year. The Vikings and Saints both had a spectacular passing attacks.
I don’t think we really have any difference of opinion on the importance of a passing attack. If we have any difference of opinion it is to the quality of the Viking Pass Defense. We both feel it can improve. You feel that it needs an immediate upgrade by a veteran presence. I feel it can be upgraded with the draft. I like our defensive system (although frustrating at times) and I get the feeling you hate Leslie Frazier’s system. OK. We can both agree to disagree about that.

In the past 10 SBs, the better QB has only lost 3×. Half of the best RBs of that time (LT2, Priest Holmes) did not even make it to a SB, but anyone considered among the very best QBs did (P. Manning, T. Brady, Brees, K. Warner, McNabb, McNair, and some may say Roethlisberger…with the possible exception of young guys like Rivers, Flacco and Ryan whose combined seasons as starters add up to less than 10). Marshall Faulk was only on the winning side with Warner and lost to a Patriots team that barely had a running game at all. Rules changes occurred in 2002-2004 which really helped the passing game, and the crop of QBs advancing in the playoffs has become even more elite ever since.
Regarging the Vikes’ pass D, I believe that it must be upgraded immediately after several years of piddling around under Frazier. I do not believe that that must happen via signing a FA, but if a proven shutdown corner is available, then bring him in by all means. The team cannot afford to deprioritize the position again and still have a real shot at a Super Bowl, though.
I do not hate Frazier’s sytem so much as I hate his inability to recognize that it’s time to change something for the sake of becoming a really good defense against the pass rather than a below average one. I have trouble respecting anyone who lets an ideology or system replace the need to think for one’s self and act accordingly.
CB is a young man’s position, so I’d also prefer to draft one in the 1st. I’d have been fine with drafting Vontae Davis or Darius Butler last year in the 1st and signing Housh, too.
Wow sounds sort of like the offense TJ runs...
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
WHY DID YOU BRING UP TJ!!!
Man I thought (hoped) this door was shut.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
That door is closed in my mind. KC was comparing him to Sanchez.

I read that not as BF definitely coming back, but requiring a better team than last year in order to return.
I read it a little less starkly. I think he’s probably looking at it just like he did last year: willing to retire, but if the situation looked right, he would go for it. So, maybe where he’s at right now is “not sure if situation is good enough, but it’s close enough that LT signing would have put it over the top” — not “it isn’t good enough unless Vikes do something big.”
Or … maybe Siefert’s opinion is right that Favre and Chilly both have an understanding he is coming back, but they are doing this elaborate dance so he can skip minicamps without both of them losing face. But for purposes of trying to get LT on board, they dropped the act for him, privately.
If Farve were smart
He would return to be New Orleans backup QB. Of course, he could never start for a team as talented as the Saints, but at least he’d have a shot at that elusive second SB ring. Most of all, he wouldn’t pull one of his trademark chokes with the SB on the line. He’d be on the bench.

That's funny right thurr...
Not to often — teams get back-to-back SB wins.. YES, it has happened… But I wouldn’t be counting on it…
He could sit out the entire training camp
and most practices for that matter.
He’d be close to his farm. Hell, he could even commute.
Drew could even give him a few pointers on accuracy.
It’s makes perfect sense.

because it took the vikings screwing up about 11 times more than the saints, and it still took you til OT to win. did your mom drink when she was pregnant?

I think the same question could be asked of you
A broad generalization that your team was completely superior to our team was made. Yeah you guys fumbled. And you also had the ball punched out like crazy. Its a moot point as if the ball wasn’t coughed up/forced out repeatedly, you, like the rest of the at least minimally intelligent world have no idea how the game would have ended. I am sure you think you know. But you don’t have a foggy clue. You look at the “stats” if you are that type of guy and i think you will see that the Saints can most assuredly match up against your team.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
I disagree with your little signature...
But opinions are opinions…
Did I think the Vikings were the better team? – Yes.
Did the stats show the Vikings as a better team? Yes – (minus turnovers)
Were some of the calls really questionable? Its a close game… Your going to see that nearly either way…. People just complain more as the game was closer.
Vikings caught fumbilitious and still went to OT. Considering that some fumbles were created by Vikings players themselves attempting to make big plays… Un-touched players fumbling the balls, etc.
Do I think the Vikings are marginally better than the Saints? No, but to say it the other way around is absurd……
If you were to agree, the Saints were the better team by a coin-flip..
Maybe we can all agree on that.. Since it basically came down to that… The OT Toss…
Feel free to disagree with the signature
I am completely fine with that.
Every game has questionable calls. Every “late hit” when slowed down looks like he had tonnes of time. Try to stop a 300 lb body on a dime. I won’t get into the the whole late hit/cheap shot debate as the game is a physical sport. There were calls/non-calls that could have offended fans of each team. If you are going to complain about what you thought the Saints did, take a look at your own team as well. They certainly weren’t angels.
Really no point in debating the concept of fumbling versus force out. Some see it some don’t. Either way ball security was not there on your teams part.
Statistically speaking i was meaning for the year. For the game, you can try but it is highly skewed as with all the turnovers we seemed to get better than average field position.
Do i think the Saints are marginally better than the Vikings. I most assuredly do. You can’t have the number one offense in the league for a few years in a row without feeling confident about the offense. And in that regard i do give us the edge.
As for the D. I think that’s two close to call. Your D-line was better as a unit, i think our secondary was superior to yours. LB’s lets call it a wash.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
I'll still disagree...
I think everyone can agree on the fact that we all have tunnel vision when it comes to watching a game. We miss the calls against our own team since we’re focused on what the others are doing…
Unless your an unbiased fan, you really can’t see it from both sides.
Ball security was definately not in our favor… Statistically, I believe the Vikings beat themselves…. Were the Saints a good team? Yes… You don’t make it to the NFC championship by being a bad team…
Marginally better? No… These teams were pretty evenly matched up… Some parts of each team are obviously better than others… But overall, I think its about a pretty good even match-up..
I see a similarity between the teams as well.. Both teams had a pretty long undefeated start.. Saints went longer… Both teams had some close games where luck was in their favor… (i.e., missed field goals, etc.). Both teams had a few losses late in the season.. Both teams had a pretty explosive offense.. Both teams had a potential MVP QB having great years.
But…. to still try and spew this nonsense that the Saints are far better is cynical… If they were, the game would of never went into OT despite the turnovers…. I’d say they’re a pretty even match-up… I would also think most people would agree…
I agree
I never said we were a “far better” team. I said marginally better on the O (call that bias or just the stats for the last few years talking). I think the only thing that gives the Saints the advantage is that Brees makes anyone a candidate for a score. The number of different players on our team that scored a TD this year was crazy. He spreads the ball to whoever is the open target. Take away Colston, he hits Shockey. Take Shockey away, he hits Meachem. Etc. Etc. Etc.
I was originally disputing the comment from Jepp that the Saints couldn’t stack up to the Vikings. I have always said that they were two very well matched teams. I think if you read any comment i have ever made about our two teams, i have never insinuated or stated that our team was Tier one and everyone else was Tier two.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
Lets agree on this
One of your cheerleaders is crazy hot.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
Wow, your D is not even close to ours where our offense
was a damn sight close to yours. There were punch outs for sure you guys were hawking the ball and Favre all night. But then we also just flat fumbled several times. Did you win? You sure did, however if a couple of those fumbles had even just been turned into FG’s we would have never seen OT.
In the end the Saints won and that’s what counts, jsut because your bored doens’t mean you have to come over to our house and gloat mate. Take it back to the bayou and completel your mental masterbation on your own.

Where was the gloating?
As for the D comments, i will just refrain from any comments as apparently discussions cannot be had.
My original point in coming over here was to see the commentary on what the fans opinion was of losing Chester and what you were going to try to do as plan B since LT signed with the Jets.
I try to keep it civil and get the “mental masturbation” comment. Nice. Apparently my comments have hidden meanings as i am stating that “our team was far superior” and apparently i am also “gloating”. Give me a break.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
my immediate question is,
what part of my statement wasn’t true? we did, in fact, fumble the ball an assload. it did also take the saints until OT to win, correct? therefore, my statements were correct. on another aside, one can logically believe that, had we not fumbled like crazy, we could have very well have scored at least a field goal, and voila, the last int doesn’t matter. the other aspect of this whole argument is the fact that there is really no reason for you clown shoes to be over here spouting garbage. sure coming over here and actually discussing things is one thing, but coming over here and saying stuff like “favre should come play here so he actually gets a ring” or something to that effect, and saying that jepps opinion is bullshit when he is totally entitled to it in our house, is kinda weak, in my opinion.

Keep in mind that
You score a field goal and the whole game changes. Who is to say we don’t march down the field, taking considerable time off the clock and score a TD? It is all a discussion of hypothetical situations after that.
And Wow here is that phantom subliminal message ability of mine again. Read the posts. When did i say Jepp’s opinion was bullshit. I did call his comment that we could not stack up ridiculous. I agreed with Deek, that they were two evenly matched teams. And it was not me who made the comment about Favre and his ring. First of all he already has one.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
Actually
The game was up in the air pretty much the whole time and you were down at points in it as well. I don’t think the calls would have differed much as it went down.
You may not be gloating, I don’t know your mind so I assuredly can’t tell. However, you are coming in here and talking about something I’m sure you can understand is not a happy topic. The mental masturbation comment was directed because why else would you be over here re-hashing a two month old game other than your bored and looking for something to do?
Lets flip this, if you had lost the NFC champs and two months after the Vikes won the super bowl (I know the Vikes will never win a superbowl) i can down to Canal Street Chronicles and brought up the game and how we beat you fair and square how do you think you and your fellow brethren would react? I doubt it would be any better than we have. So in the end you got me, I’m a human being guess I’ll just have to live with it.
To finish I apologize at my rudeness, and I hope you find something else to occupy your time. If you do end up with Ray feel good about it, he’s a solid player.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
I had to deal with a tonne of Bears fans
When we lost the NFC conference game in 2006. I can appreciate reactions when someone rubs your face in it. Why i wouldn’t do it in the first place.
I do have reservations about the potential poison pill and going after Ray Edwards. I have heard he is as inconsistent as J Peppers can be.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
He's also much younger and has improved every year he's been in the NFL
He is a bit inconsistant, but the thing that would worry me more would be how can he handle a double team. Since most of our defensive line demands double teams Ray gets a lot of single coverage. Also Ray is a run blocker, which means his sacks will never be good as someone like Jared Allen who pretty much is allowed to pin his ears back and jump the QB whenever he wants to.
Ray is a good player I’ll be sad to see him part ways with us if Childress and co actually don’t match the other teams deal.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Well for us
Sed Ellis usually gets the double team, and with the way Will Smith played last year he was commanding them as well at times. Charles Grant was never the same after he got paid. I am intrigued with the idea, but leery of another player who isn’t consistent in his drive during the game. Should be interesting. Whoever signs Grant is going to regret it. Past his prime and injury prone.
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.

Its ok congrats on ur win soak it in while u can were gunning for u better get extra o-line protection brees will be on his back this time all day long
Number one O-line in football
I think we are covered. Maybe you should hold a presser so that your team is aware that our “big mean ol’ D was hitting Favre to hard”. Maybe this time they will do something about it (if they can). Ray Edwards and Visanthe Shiancoe i am looking in your direction.
It would also be slightly amusing if Ray Edwards ended up on our team. Do you think he would flashback and just level a hit on Brees during warm-ups? Ha
For your information Viking's and Colt's fans, no matter how much you say it, you were not the better team in 2009.
If I recall....
Favre was never sacked.. But Brees got sacked once in that game…
He just had a lot of late hits which some were questionable…
You are correct
One sack.
Favre was hurried all day.

You've shamed me
by calling me a troll. That’s a little harsh, after all the good times we had last season, huh?
I’m just trying to start a little playful banter with you guys, and farve is always a good place to start. Don’t you think y’all are being a little sensitive about Farve? It’s not like he spent his career with the Vikes and took them to the Superbowl. You had him for one season! And after that interception I figured you guys may have cooled off on him a bit.
Either way, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Vikes and the Saints were the two best teams last year. They had a hell of a matchup and the Saints squeaked out the win. They are still the two teams to beat in 2010.
In Breesus' name we play

gotta love sore winners
if you can’t be gracious in winning … then doesn’t that mean you’re pretty much a full-time dick? lol
sounds like garbage
maybe the pissed off jets sent unassuming LT to get brett to leak his intent. in that frozen donald trump stadium in NY brett will let them know. re can hope brett retires before the game to get a chuckle. than brett can pick them apart. it will obviously be in december. maybe goodell will deliberately send the ref’s from the dallas game that was put together to be biased against home teams, oh wait he is rese rving them for home games to make up for his embarassing lose in court.
Not even Brett
Knows what Brett is going to do. Love him or hate him, he doesn’t care.

Famous quote from inside Lambeau, summer of 2007
“There is no way Brett Favre planned out & orchestrated this. Brett Favre isn’t even sure what he wants to have for lunch today, let alone if he wants to play football six months from now”
Paraphrase, but pretty close, from someone on the grounds staff (who is a “nobody,” but Favre interacted with & genuinely befriended a lot of those people, so they know his personality pretty well).

Hey
You all do know that all Brett did was send him a text message right? I’m not sure that even qualifies as a response.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Please quit trying to confuse people with the facts. I have talked about this with you before.
Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes

Yeah
Damn you and your facts, they get in the way of convincing myself what I chose to believe!

But it was probably an AMAZING HALL OF FAME message!!!
It likely set the all-time record for getting to LT’s phone, even though it had spelling and grammar errors in it, and in all the excitement, he hit SEND before finishing the sentence.
:)
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
Hey at least he sent it
I heard Favre wrote it and then was debating on sending it for over three hours..
:)

According to wishful thinking daily.com it read
" Maybe,you could think about, maybe, signing with us, even though I really don’t know, quite yet, if I can be there to like hand you the ball.perhaps on the goal line, depending on which plays we call, except it depends on whether I call it or Chilly calls it, but no matter, I might be there with you, and if you decide to come, then we can maybe be there together, so even though like, we don’t really know each other, I think maybe you would like the cold cornfields and mostly nice people up there, so sign OK?"
