Why Im Not Scared Of Brett Favre

[mngolf19]

[quote="Rastak
Chilly and the lads realized they were screwed if anything happened to Rosenfels. They revisited the idea after watching film this weekend.

Chilly sucks this year he gets fired. He knows it. Self preservation is an amazing driver.

This is exactly what I'm telling everyone I talk to. Bringing in Favre is bringing in more depth. Rosenfels may be fine but Jackson was not going to be. The locals pointed to a particularly bad practice last week and I'm guessing the game friday put Chilly over the edge on Jackson. Since QBs tend to not last 16 games, you had to increase your depth if you have the chance. And Chilly will sit Favre whenever he thinks there is a better option. This year is make or break for Chilly. Now, I don't think it requires a Lombardi trophy. But an appearance in the NFCC may be needed.

He's not going to sit Favre, thats just not going to happen.

That said, I wouldn't be afraid either because it's a football game.

Stop the Pack on Pack hate!

Partial, there is no way they will allow the season to go the way the Jet's did last year without trying. No one would keep him in there if it is going to get you fired.

That didn't stop Mangenius.

I agree with you, but for a different reason. Favre isn't going out on his own power.

I find the reports on Jackson's development a little confusing. Didn't he return from injury late last season and perform very well in the team's final games? Does one poor showing in an exhibition game negate that, or has he been terrible throughout Viking summer camp? If he's been consistently awful this year, how are people in the know explaining the disparity? Was last December a month-long fluke? Did he somehow regress after appearing to have turned the corner at the end of 2008? Has he been feeling the pressure this summer with the Sword of Kiln hanging over his head?

The missing point folks.

Favre late to camp > Jackson and Rosenfels.

Meaning, even if you don't want to admit it, he does in fact make the vikings a bigger threat then they were in regards to winning the division. I mean, say your not worried: Stop AP and make him win the game.

Ok, see Denver 2007, or KC, or against the vikings, San Diego: Don't tell Brett he can't win the football game if he has to: He's done it many times before. Not counting last year, he did it against Seattle in the playoffs in 2007. Last year he knocked off a few really good teams pretty much solely off how he played.

Just saying, like it or not, he makes the vikings a much bigger threat. A bigger threat then Jay Cutler going to the bears.

Here's the real point, one I think you've missed. Favre late to camp <<<< Aaron Rodgers. Maybe he makes the Vikings a better team, maybe he doesn't. But he doesn't scare me. We still got the better guy.

I think for now the more important comparison is between Favre and the other Viking QBs. My concern for 2009 is simply this, "How much better are the Vikings with Favre than without him?"

Jackson simply couldn't throw the ball downfield with any type of success. He can throw the insanely short routes or dumpoffs to the RBs but that doesn't do anything to loosen up the defense.

Has any QB playing under Childress had downfield success? Me thinks it aint all about the QB.

In 2008 Favre's passer rating, of passes more than 20 yards was 48.5. (Rodgers by comparison was 106.)

So, Favre better hope Chilly doesn't like throwing downfield.

One huge factor is the receivers and YAC



Get it? It's a Yak!!

So this clears the way for Chilly to move on to Rosenfels if the situation arises.

Favre's contract has an out for the Vikes to release him due to injury or skill that would require a $6M payout. Not the full contract if he doesn't complete the season.
