Favre Prediction Thread

[woodbuck27]

I personally don't expect him to make it through the season.

This article articulates Scott's prediction very well.

Predicting his stat's for 2009 is too difficult. I don't expect he's being considered as the man behind center and to elevate the Vikings by just making handoff's to Adrian Peterson.

There won't be alot of looks opposing 'D's can throw at Favre he hasn't seen. He'll have excellent protection on this Viking team to allow him time to set up. Not good for opposing defenses. TD's Vs picks? Favre never gets too concerned over picks especially if he has to come from behind. With the Viking running game and excellent defense Brett Favre will be able to relax and have a solid and fun season.

The real concern will be the same as with any NFL team. Adversity. The Vikings must handle injuries with adequate backup plans.

Favre is working very hard to get ready for the Viking training camp. By all reports he'll be in as good of shape as he can be. He also has good velocity on his throws. I wonder what his playing weight will be? He can't come in too heavy as a big part of his game is his ability to escape the rush when necessary. It's been a number of years since he had the luxery of an OL like the Vikings will provide him.

Predicting his stat's!? He hasn't told us he's playing yet. He wants to do his part and best for the Vikings or he won't be back. He knows where he needs to be conditioning wise. He told us. He's working on that.

GO PACKERS!

What kind of condition is the Viking offensive line in? They must replace Birk, but were there any other changes? And is Birk's replacement expected to be good right off the bat?

[MJZiggy]

I predict Favre will wait 'til the 31st, then retire (or at least not unretire).

[Bretsky]

24 TD's
14 INT's
3479 yards

Playoffs for the Vikings

comeback player of the year and superbowl appearance.....

comeback player of the year and superbowl appearance.....

How can a ProBowl QB from the year before even be considered for the comeback player of the year?

Here is my best guess.

64%, 3,100 yards 24 td, 18 int

They have one more change, Phil Loadholt will likely take over for the completely inconsistant Ryan Cook.

Loadholt is slightly bigger than McKinney and should be an ass kicking run blocker.....he isn;t the most fleet of foot from what I hear but he has long arms so we'll see how is pass blocking is.

ND can probably give us a better read on John Sullivan, Birk's replacement. The Vikings really liked his prgress last year but that is the big question mark.

Could happen Zig, but when he said to the associated press...."When I get there I need to be sure my arm can last the season" that removed all doubt from my mind that he'll be wearing purple this year.

[Patler]

Assuming he comes back and plays for the Vikings, my prediction for Favre is that he will retire again at the end of the season!

Favre doesn't turn 40 until this fall.

I thought you and McNair and Michael Jordan were all fraternity bros. I don't remember either going to UW.

A prediction which cannot fail!

Of course, the remaining question will be how many MORE years will he play after retiring in 2010?

[Kiwon]

I personally don't expect him to make it through the season.

If Peterson stays healthy and Vikes have a productive running game I predict that Farve will make it through the season.

But I have to believe that he will be on a very short leash with the Vikings fans. If they have key injuries and don't win Farve and Childress will both feel the heat.

I completely agree. The Viking faithful don't seem enamoured with Chilly. I will say I couldn't stand him at WI; glad when the Eagles took him off of our hands.

For a team that has improved recordwise the last couple of years getting Favre seems like a disparate move. If it doesn't work fans are going to say Chily set back the QB position another year.
