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

[woodbuck27]

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.

It looks more and more to being real. Brett Favre a Viking. Shocking. Good grief for some Packer fans. Mixed emotions for some and absolute pain for others.

Rastak. Your team will be scary with Favre behind center. The AP factor 'of course' is huge and also the solid state of your lines makes the Vikings look ligitimately solid Super Bowl contenders coming off 2008.

Packer and Viking games will be highly anticipated as usual. Somehow I sense this news will make it a monster rivalry this season.

Great for the NFL.

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

HH. What do we get him? A limo or a cab to get HIM outta town?

I think Favre should wear number 2. He's half the player he used to be, and it fits the way he's been acting.


GO PACK GO!!!!

Do you think they could also misspell his last name so it says "Douche"

Good One! Thats avatar worthy!

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

There's a reason for that, you know.

Who's the receiver in the middle of that shot at about the 38 yard line moving from right to left across the field? Dare I observe that he's wide open?

Why did Favre freeze on Driver? Really! How do we answer such questions or judge the QB's decision or to ignore the option?

PACKERS!

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!!!

Yup. Restructurings generally benefit the player or are neutral to the player by guaranteeing previously unguaranteed amounts, allowing the team to generate cap room in the current year by amortizing the newly guaranteed amount over the remaining life of the contract.

The only Packer I am aware of who actually restructured willingly and reduced his compensation was Leroy Butler. At the time he said he had been paid very well, and it was worth it to him to give money back to help keep his team together by signing younger teammates who had not had a big payday like he had. The exact thing the Packers asked Sharper to do, but he refused. That was Sharper's right, and I can't necessarily blame him for taking the stance he did, but it really shows what kind of guy Butler is.

He looked like he was cold and just wanted to go home.

Do you like CROW Scott? If you don't like yours so much. There are plenty here that will be trying it so you can share.

PACKERS!

[Rastak]

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

Stranger things have happened.....wait, I guess they haven't now that I think about it.

[Rastak]

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

I think that is unlikely, as a last resort the Vikings would either reassign his number themselves or trade him to free it up......

In fairness to Favre, that photo is after he has released the ball. There is another I have seen that is earlier, and the shorter routes don't look as open. As for the deep route on the left, as I recall there wasn't a clear throwing lane open for that. The route he picked may not be as open as others, but I have always felt it really wasn't a bad decision as much as a poor throw that caused the interception.

Thank you for helping to clear up that historical myth. I wish for more Packer fans to be as realistic and fair to themselves as you are Patler.

Wasn't it first down? A better decision would have been to throw it way IMO.
