Where do the Favre lovers stand on Favre being a Viking?

[Scott Campbell]

If Tarvaris "breaks out" with his new team and Sage struggles after Favre is gone, I'm gonna laugh SO hard...

By then the Vikings might not be in MN anymore.

It says they keep Booty. He'll give up #4. Tavaris is likely to be traded.

Which begs the question, what can they get for Tarvaris? A box of kicking tees? Bag of footballs?

Conditional 7th round pick in the 2015 draft?

I've said this before, but Tavaris is the first guy I'd keep. His salary is low and I think he could be a great wildcat quarterback. I'd consider keeping 4 QB's and play two of them (Tavaris and Favre). Tavaris about 5 or 10 plays a game as a wildcat QB. He can still throw a little but mostly I'd run him. Peterson will suck the defense one way and Tavaris can run the other or Tavaris will keep defenses honest and Peterson will have better holes.

Jokes aside I'd keep all 4 for this year for the reason above and to keep 2010 options open.

Sometimes less is more. I think this might be one of those times.

I hope John David Booty refuses to give up his #4 jersey.

I supported favre back with the whole thing went down. If he comes back so be it. If another team wants to play him andhe wants to play there is nothing anyone could do. The packers wanted to be rigid with time tables and so on. You don't see that with the Vikings.
But I am a Packers fanand support Rodgers and just see Faver as another player now;. I will enjoyt he drama of it all.

Oh and I don't give a crap what these guys are off the field. I dont' put these people on pedistals. They are sports players that bring me entertainment. This isn't war there are no traders. Its entertainment

YES !!!!!

GO PACKERS!!

Until this summer I didn't realize how many Packer fans are just plain ass losers.

Vikings 38
Packers 17

There's a reason for that, you know.

Everyone here will have his/her own way of remembering Brett Favre - -some choose the worst memories from long ago. He will be favored all the more not only for his talent on the field but his generosity towards people including his team, charities and so forth. Those people will far outweigh the others who remember only the more undesirable memories from his young days.

This is a well stated post. The only way I disagree with it is if Favre puts on a purple jersey which will be a strong memory that many Packer fans will have a hard time overcoming.

Personally, I'll remember that Make-a-Wish presser for a long time. And the pranks (and the colossal gas--I have a theory that his problem in NY was that someone was secretly slipping gas-x into his gatorade, but I digress). But I'll also remember the stupidity and the fact that I defended him saying his word was good, I found I'd been lied to. It's really a mixed bag of memories.

If he wasn't cut or reduced to 'the clip board' after the 2007 season there would be little possibility of Favre and 'a purple jersey' MJ. Please MJ try to find something in this next sentence that makes any sense.

Don't blame the man because he may have an opportunity to get to another Super Bowl. That word is opportunity and not to be confused with probability. As a Packer in 2008 he would have had to accept a dismissal of role. Forget the he was retired or not stuff. It was perfectly clear that Favre wanted to be our QB for last season and it was a no to that.

The trade to the Jets. Released by the Jets. Possibly a shot with the Vikings. He's just an NFL QB. It's a helluva story as it's developing. That storey could land all over Ted Thompson? Favre might stink the house out? Ted Thompson and Favre have each as much to lose and none of us are either of them.

It's too easy.

Let's leave it as it is and just watch for the outcome without all the trash talk and unglued ego's.

PACKERS!

No doubt.
This season will be all the more fun to watch with Favre right across the border. NFL Entertainment inc. will be must see tv. And we get to play him twice(maybe 3 times if we are lucky) What a fun season it will be.

Absolutely and for sure.

Correction for historical accuracy - Green Bay never cut Favre.

Hi I agree with GrnBay007 I remember him from the time he walked on the field it was nice to actually have a QB that was good and fun to watch we had been so long with out a good QB true we did have magic for a few years but you cant really compare the 2. I also agree with Huly I believe it was him that said what a soap opera it had become and he was sick of it.
I wish Favre luck with what ever he does in life for all that he gave up for the Packers all the times he played when he really should not have , the times he restructured his salaries so we could get better players .
If he goes to the Vikings I will wish him luck that he does not get hurt, I really hope for obvious reasons that he does not have a great yr and I hope we beat him 2 times this yr But I will always Love and appreciate everything he did for the Packers

'' the times he restructured his salaries so we could get better players'' wpony

1. How easy that is to forget by some.

2. I wish for more Packer fans to be as realistic and fair to themselves as you are wpony.

GO PACK GO!

As a Packer in 2008 he would have had to accept a dismissal of role. Forget the he was retired or not stuff. It was perfectly clear that Favre wanted to be our QB for last season and it was a no to that. I'm not so sure it was perfectly clear. He retired before a hard deadline was in place and then backed out when the Packers were going to take him back a month later. I think Favre was shell-shocked when the Packers wouldn't let him play GM or baby him the way Sherman did.

The trade to the Jets. Retired from the Jets and then requested his release from them when he claimed he was done for good. Released by the Jets. Possibly a shot with the Vikings. He's just an NFL QB. It's a helluva story as it's developing. That storey could land all over Ted Thompson? Favre might stink the house out?

[Scott Campbell]

There's a big difference between restructuring how you get paid, vs. how much you get paid. Brett never took a pay cut as part of these restructures - as far as I'm aware.



GO PACK GO!!!
