Report: Favre is on a plane to Minnesota

[mngolf19]

I believe Patler has it right. Play as needed and nothing more, the team goes very far. He has to know that he will not be the "star" on this team. Just the last piece of the puzzle. And I'm pretty confident that his int total at the end of the season will be low due to top D and top running game. Just won't need to throw very much. He may start off slow though do to newness and lack of timing with players. It's the right move for Chilly.

Bring him on. It will make beating the Vikings and winning the division that much sweeter.

Do you think his actions this summer, or previous history for that matter, suggest that he "knows" this and will "remember" it at all times?

[Cheesehead Craig]

This was one hell of a way to avoid training camp.

He might suffer some amnesia during at least 2 games this year against a certain Green Bay team.

GREAT "football" move

[Patler]

Nothing can take away the sixteen years in GB, but I'm just worn out on all this. Aaron Rodgers was the right QB last year and he's the right QB this year. Adrian Peterson will open up the passing game for Favre for sure, but I'll take a 2009 trio of Harris, Woodson and Collins over a 2009 Favre. Any thoughts on who hits him first and how hard?

Kampman, and very.

Prob right, but just to be different: Jenkins and Raji at the same time.

That could leave a mark!

[Waldo]

Greg_A_Bedard: Aaron Kampman: "The red jersey will be off."

And a big fat slow rookie will be on that side trying to block both Kamp AND Raji.

[HarveyWallbangers]

All I have to say is that this is just wrong.

Especially with that coach known for keeping the reigns on him, Bevell, calling the plays.

That big fat rookie looked good (for a rookie) Friday night.

Is'nt Raji fat.......... and a rookie?

The biggest difference this will make for the Vikings is that opposing defenses cannot stack the box anymore. Peterson is going to run wild.

[Packerarcher]

Funny how most of you say Rodgers is so much better and you are happy Brett is gone but you keep re-hashing this,sounds like bitterness and jelousy to me. You all sound like you can't get over an ex lover.

Raji isn't asked to be a fleet footed pass blocker, he is asked to be an unmovable wall.

Box count is a function of formation moreso than any sort of "fear" of individuals. Chilly wants them to stop stacking the box, start throwing passes at a sufficient quantity out of given formations to make defensive reads pass instead of run.

Brett almost surely is the worst deep thrower on the team. By a long shot. Brett can throw a slant with the best of 'em (incidentally best defended by a stacked box), but absolutely blows chunks at a sideline go or deep out. It is good to leave a S back deep though for undercutting the deep routes, Brett misses short, short missed deep picked by safeties turn into a lot of pick 6's.

Rehashing this?

It is a fairly big news event that Brett has signed.

He sucked when he was here for the last several years, what is there to fear. MM figured out how to hide Brett's deficiencies. I wouldn't think so highly of Chilly and Bevell.

I would assume that if he is not "the guy" on the team, any time he tries to go outside the parameters that he will be guided by team leaders to get back on track. Not Chilly but guys like AP-KW-Winfield. But in the end, it is all a calculated risk no matter how you play this.
