Report: Favre is on a plane to Minnesota

[BallHawk]

He sucked when he was here for the last several years, what is there to fear.

That is the part that isn't talked about much. Not only did defenses stop fearing him quite a while ago.....but they actually licked their chops while looking forward to playing against him. The Vikings are getting a guy who once was a very good QB but is no longer what he once was. And hasn't been for some time now.

Exactly. When we played the Giants in the NFC Championship game, in the postgame interviews, the players were all saying "The coaches told us, and we knew, that Favre was gonna throw a big interception. We just had to wait for it."

It wasn't a matter of if, but when.

And, while I know he has Peterson helping him out, he still has a rather inadequate WR corps. Berrian will garner attention from the defense, just like Driver did. Who's gonna step up and be his Greg Jennings?

Hoosier, Favre has never had anyone on the team that could make him not the guy.

Ignorant.

Do you need a GJ when you've got a Peterson? I think he'll probably do pretty bad personally because he hasn't worked out in a long time.

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.

He never sucked "here" in the way you mean it. He had some bad games, maybe a bad 2005, but to say he sucked is simply an exaggeration.

I wholeheartedly agree that M3 figured out a way to contain him for the better part. His age got him, IMHO, in the Giants failure and towards the end of last season.

But, that performance he put on at Lambeau before the Giants failure was incredible.

You mean the game where Grant set the franchise record for rushing yards? The game that Bigby absolutely dominated?

Brady: 8.0 million
Rodgers: 8.1 million
Rivers: 9.0 million
Peyton: 11.5 million











Favre: 12 million

Actually you make my point, while correcting me. The only time he did have someone like that, they won.

[bbbffl66]

Once more. 25-7 in 32 games prior to the injury. Yep, pretty sucky. Quit belittling his talent. He still is better than at least half of NFL QB's right now. And a huge upgrade for the Queens. I'd put money on at least the NFCN title for them now. All in all this sucks!

Ill take that bet.

Favre

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.

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.

Sucked when he was here the last several years? What a stupid thing to say. I'm sure several QB's would love to suck the way he did in 07. Hate Favre if it makes you sleep better, but please don't try to re-write history to suit your opinion......

I think I disagree. Brett was still the man while Chuck was here. But Sterling was definitely "the guy" when he and Brett played together.

[Chevelle2]

Favre was the guy, but don't kid yourself. Woodson was the better player.

But I digress.

And again. Although I don't think Sharpe was much of a leader.



Chevelle, do you have anything of consequence to add? You may have more knowledge of the Packers than I do, especially since I'm not a fan. But I think my point is still valid even if the execution could have been better.
