Don't underestimate Favre as a QB. Rather respect him. I'll bet TT and MM will.
GO PACK GO!
Respect, yes, of course. Fear not as much.
ooooh I don't know about that one. They may fear him a ton since they'll be trying to stop the run so much, they know he could go off at any moment. Giving him a top RB, maybe of all time, and who knows what this cat can do.. even at 40.
Yeaeh, McCarthy and Capers fear Favre.
McCarthy and Capers fear no player. Asinine to think otherwise.
If Jennings' contract figures on PFT are accurate, they got a good deal. He is a step below the elite contracts and players right now, and based solely on production, that is about right. At $8 million per, like the Kampman deal before him, he will look like a steal next August. If PFT's numbers are right.

CPK, for the love of Dick "Bam Bam" Ambrose, stop ending every post with an expletive or insult. Please? They are unnecessary.
P.S. Forgive the Cleveland Browns reference with Mr. Ambrose there, but having Clay Matthews III and Clay Matthews Jr. in the paper for the last three days has made me nostalgic.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

After two years in the league that is silly. He has 3,100 yards. If he can stand up to the pounding for 2-4 more years you might actual be able to make that arguement.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

probably why it says the word maybe, eh fuck stick? AP is a better offensive weapon than anyone he's ever played with, plain and simple.

My sense though is that Favre plays the wrong kind of game to be able to take the Vikes where they want to go. He'll still "go off at any moment" from time to time - the crazy shovel pass that ends up in a big first down, the touchdown strike between three defenders. On the flip side, he'll also audible into a pass on third and one if he thinks he sees something - and then throw an interception.
He's a high risk/reward guy. And given the strength of Minny's run game, I'm not sure that's what they need. In addition, he's not the Favre of five or ten years ago. On top of that, he's once more basically taken a whole offseason off. No minicamps, no personal trainer, no nothing. He's relying on his memory of the offense, and though it may be very similar to what GB ran, I can't imagine it's exactly the same - the terminology must be a little different, I would think. Can he really waltz into training camp and be lights out for a whole season? Or even that steady hand all season?
My guess is no. Again, I do think he'll make some spectacular plays, but I also think he'll make more than his share of spectacular mistakes.

Ahman Green had a nearly 1900 yard season behind Brett, complimented by another 300 recieving. That doesn't mean Green is as talented as Peterson, but if you judge a football player on production, Peterson wouldn't even be the most productive RB to have ever played with Favre based on his 2 years in the NFL. That could change, of course. But 2200 yards from scrimmage in a single season is a tough one to top. I believe AP is every bit capable enough, but until he does it...

1)Asinine is niether an insult or an expletive.
2)I said that it is assinine to think that McCarthy and Capers fear Favre. Do you think Capers and McCarthy fear Favre?

the only real thing we have to go off on is the fact that they wouldn't let him go wherever he wanted to play football. That tells me they must fear him to a point, doesn't it?

Good point Gunakor. Brett did play with Green and Grant while they put up lots of yards. However I think the sucess of those RBs came in part from the threat of Favre. Any D facing Favre has to respect the pass, and the play action and this keeps them on their heels. RB's playing with Favre have a huge advantage because opposing D's are starting on their heels and never committing an 8th to the box.
Favre has never played with a back the likes of Peterson. Peterson has never played with a QB the likes of Favre. I think Peterson is giong to put up huge numbers this year.

The caveat for any running back, player, or team. But excellent (and helpful) observation.
Don't worry Smack... people around here will take any cheap shot at the Vikes or Brett... mostly outta jealousy of what they are about to have this season.
