Would you like to see Favre play for the Vikings?

[mngolf19]

I'm fine with it if he is better than the current options. Just not sure he is. Childress is make or break this season. He has to look at every possibility. Now last year he showed a willingness to go with a hot hand during the season, and I expect he will do the same thing this year if need be. So if Favre can be ready for any portion of the season, and is ok with that role, then I suspect he'll be a Viking. They would have said no if they didn't want him. But they also won't take him if he can't produce at a higher level for at least some portion of the season.

I suspect he'd look reasonable for about 10 games.

Even if they don't want him to begin with, it's not a bad idea to do due dilligence.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see there are only 18 Favre Haters on the site to date. I thought there were more at PR. I guess it just seemed that way because they have always been so vocal.

30 votes for him vs 18 against at this moment in time.

However, a casual reader could never tell because those 18 kinda have an agenda to post as much negativity as they can about past Green Bay Packer greats.

Yep! And not only that I would bet my last dollar that most all of those "haters" will be puffing out their chests down the road when Favre is inducted to the HOF remembering fond memories of him and how they always supported him. LOL

If I want him to disappear so things can get back to normal HERE, does that make me a Favre hater? I mean, isn't it reasonable that I want the Favre induced separation of Packer fans to end much more than I'd want to see Favre play another down for yet another team? It's no fun watching Favre play elsewhere, but even if it was, it still wouldn't be fun to have every discussion here becoming a Favre debate. And it will, especially if he were to come back to play for the Vikings.

It's not that I think he can't play. It's not that I'm afraid he'll beat us. It's not because I don't want to see his face anymore. It's because I want the two sides of Packer Nation thing to end, and that won't happen until Favre is done playing. That's a fact. For that reason alone, he needs to go away and he needs to do it now. The next time I want to see his face is when he's standing next to his bust in Canton in August 2014. By then hopefully the conflict this whole situation has caused within our community will have died down completely.

Exactly. No good could come of it.

For a lot of people up here that won't happen untill the current Packer management is gone.

Oh, great. So it still revolves around the Favre divorce, but it won't end with Favre's retirement. And if current management wins without Favre they'll be here for a while, so this thing could be dragged out forever.

Fuck me, I wish I was a Bears fan right now...

Question: If Favre played a season would he break Jim Marshalls (non-kicker) consecutive games played record?

If so does anyone see any irony in the idea of him doing so in a Vikings uniform?

Maybe a good reason not to sign him. I for one don't want it to happen.

Yes, Snake posted it several times, but Favre is at 269, Marshall at 270, thus Brett would need to start game 1 to tie him and game 2 to break the all-time record (regardless of position) for consecutive games played in the NFL. Pretty nuts for a QB though.

And since I'm on this post, wouldn't you as a Vike fan, want Favre (through a full offseason, unlike the Jets thing 2 weeks before the season...where Brett looked beastly early but tailed off due to poor conditioning)? Just wondering. Those QB's look dreadful in the Twin Cities yo.

I'm just concerned about his ability to make it a full season. I also don't like the possible upset in team chemistry.

But....................... if he joined the Vikes it would'nt be the end of the world.

See Maxie? Now this is a perfect example of masochism...to wish something so ugly upon oneself...!

[Pugger]

I voted no but because the thought of Brett wearing that purple uniform is repugnant to me big time! :P But until his arm/shoulder heals he won't be playing for anybody any time soon.

Well said Gunakor. I guess if you're a hater, I am too, for this is largely how I feel also.
