Hypothetical Favre Speculative

I knew a Farve thread was coming. Farve is done. His body is done. His arm is done.
You better "stake" him to make sure!

They also needed something (or someone I guess) to help sell all the ridiculously expensive personal seat licenses in their new stadium. They have never been a big player in the FA market, and coincedentally one season before they move to a new stadium they suddenly spend $140M on win-now type players (and traded an handful of draft picks in the process)??

Good point. I forgot about the new stadium. Selling PSLs in this economy could be tough. Heck, selling playoff tickets hasnt been a piece of cake.

If Farve showed up with the Vikings next year that would be shady
He better retire or play with the Jets or risk further tarnishing his 'legacy'
-That would be a scumbag move to play his way out of NY and into Minny

Tarvaris Jackson is not a good QB at the NFL level; no argument there. He may never become a good QB at the NFL level; time will tell. But if he is the worst you have ever seen play, then one of two things is true:

1. You haven't watched NFL football games for very long, or

2. You need to hold your breath because there are some bad QBs out there that you are about to see.


Tarvaris Jackson is better than Bruce Gradkowski and Ken Dorsey.

Tarvaris Jackson is better than Kellen Clements.

Tarvaris Jackson is better than Cleo Lemon.

Tarvaris Jackson is better than Dan Orlovsky, Drew Stanton and the other Lions' QB whose name escapes me at the moment.

Tarvaris Jackson is better than Jordan Palmer.

Tarvaris Jackson is about the same as Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Tarvaris Jackson is better than Patrick Ramsey.

Tarvaris Jackson is better than Mark Brunell.

Those are just a few of the people currently employed in the NFL as QBs who are not as good as Tarvaris Jackson and who play worse than he does.

If you want to go back into history to find some truly bad QBs, start by looking through the ranks of those who have played QB for the Chicago Bears since Sid Luckman retired in the 50s.

The Vikings should be looking to upgrade the QB position in the off-season but keep in mind that they can do worse than what they have...

Outside of Detroit, is there a worse starting QB than Tavaris? If he is Minnesota's starter next year, Minnesota will NOT be returning to the playoffs.

What team would swap their current starter for Jackson?

I'm feeling that he'll take 4 months off in Misssissippi make look at Minnesota but if he cannot find anything I think he'll finally retire.
:towel:

As for Jackson the guy is not a starting NFL QB yet, I mean he was okay but average doesn't cut it. The Vikings are a good team but they need a good QB to get them over the top.

Thanks for the thesis but I said STARTING QB. Little different.

I would argue that Fitzpatrick and Orlovsky are better than Jackson too...but I won't since it isn't worth the effort....they all suck to varying degrees

Wasn't Frerotte their starter for a good part of the season? I think he only lost his job because of injury.

Jackson started the season..... Gus took over for a stretch, then Jackson started the last 3 or 4 games plus the playoff game. Pretty sure Gus wasn't injured and could have played all those games except one. I guess the Vikings thought he was their best option.

This guy needs help. He needs to find a rock to climb under. The world is just not ready to go through this again.
