OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

Favre still displays a quick release, pocket awareness and a fast ball within the 20 yard area.

Agreed. Favre's ego will screw it up though. Recall Sherman tried the same with Ahman Green.

yes...

It was your terminlogy...pretty good. I haven't see anything 2nite outta favre that sage couldn't do.

Arod: ty holds no stock in the preseason. Not super impressed by beating the cards. they got on a run, but they aren't that good..and their d isn't for sure.

Much closer to eight and eight than ten and six last year.

Yeah, maybe "pretty good" was a bit strong - especially since I consider the average Peyton Manning game "pretty good". "Decent" would have been a better choice of words.

There was a play or two where he stepped up into the pocket and fired a bullet that brought back warm fuzzies of the Favre of old.

Andre Johnson is good. And pretty nice throw from Orlovsky - even if he made the wrong throw and should have gone to the more open receiver. Poor coverage by the Vikes.

I'm guessing the fact that Carl Paymah is on the field at this point means McCauley is on the way out. I figured Paymah was signed strictly for special teams (he led the Broncos in special teams tackles the last couple years from what I heard).

This is the type of post that belongs in a vikings forum.

True dat.

When it comes to Favre and Chilly, its pretty obvious who is the pitcher and who is the catcher.

I couldn't agree more. The entire half I was thinking "couldn't Sage Rodentfur do this?" Kind of sad to see the old man reduced to a check down superstar.

That throw to Percy Harvin was nice. Harvin has to be able to make that catch.

Looks like most of the starters are still in there on both sides of the ball.

The difference is, Favre is just a one year rental. Even if he takes them to the big game, where are they next year? If Rosenfels is Favre's equivalent, then maybe he can be your guy for awhile.

Maybe for a year or two.

McCauley with the pick.

Looks like Favre will get 1 more series. I haven't been blown away, but what I am seeing is exactly what the vikings wanted at the position: Stability.

Favre hasn't forced anything, had a nice looking pass off the tips of Harvin's fingers, and he looks just really comfortable being back in this offense.

With that decent defense and arguably the best running game in the entire NFL, people are getting it right. Game manager. That is all #4 really has to do. He'll still throw some bad picks this year, but maybe he has enough left to counter act it with some 2 minute drives to win the game, or with a few big plays.

Honestly, I understand why Favre may have wanted to go to minnesota outside of playing hte pack: They are a great fit for where he is in his career.

[superfan]

Wow, Favre is still in there. Why?

[Partial]

Favre looks pretty good so far since I've started watching, but the bspn guys are ott.
