Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings

I think Rosenfelds will get the starting job after Favre starts to throw interceptions all over the place. He's no better than a backup at this stage of his career.

Rosenfels wasn't even leading in the competition with Jackson. Nothing indicates that he'll start for them, particularly not with Favre on the team.

Now he enters his time in Minnesota with an air of superiority. The guys in that locker room are friends with Sage and Tavaris, and have been working their butts off side by side with them in training camp. Now comes this old diva, who with no preparation or work whatsoever will unseat the other two QBs and simply fall into the starting lineup. Shitty for chemistry IMO.


fantastic post, i agree wholeheartedly. is the wr core just supposed to invent some sort of chemistry with favre in the next two weeks?

Exactly. Not only was he dishonest and deceitful about his intentions, he was a total puss about it too- skipping out on camp and a chance to get to know his new teammates knowing damn well he was gonna sign anyway.

I can't stand Favre anymore. It's a shame. I used to love the guy. I'm not gonna lie, I hope he falls falt on his face with this comeback attempt. He needs to go away.

If he gives them abetter chance at winning the other players will not give a dang who is playing QB. I'd say give Brett a few weeks an it will be obvious who is the better of the three.

On the other hand, if they all gel, does that imply chemistry is overblown as a reason for success/failure of qb-wr tandems?

A couple of things.

#1 - I hate the Favre drama just as much as anyone, but if I'm a Vikes fan I love this move. Rosenfels and Jackson are both unproven scrubs and regardless of who won the job between these two the Vikes would have been saddled with mediocre QB play all year.

#2 - There is a big difference between Favre going to the Jets last year and going to the Vikes this year. With the Vikes he is very familiar with their offensive schemes and terminology, the learning curve will be little to none as compared to last year where he was in a completely different offense.

#3 - I don't buy that this is bad for team chemistry. I think there are plenty of guys in that locker room that were pulling for this move and knew all along it was eventually going to happen. I doubt that anyone in that locker room is truly surprised today.

#4 - Regardless of his late season struggles which were more due to injury than anything else last year, the guy can still get it done and at a higher level than the likes of Rosenfels and Jackson.

#5 - Thank god this doesn't involve the Redskins. Was it Florio that floated the retarded Favre to the Redskins rumor?

Its Brett Favre, if Green Bay's front office ever gave shit when he was there, all those years of passing up on great talent never giving him the peaces to have a real chance at winning thats there fault. Brett is a winner and u can't hate him for just wanting be with a winning organization, he still has some gas in the tank. Last year Green Bay still was dictating were he could go, now with the release from the Jets he is free to do what he wants. Brett was more than loyal to Green Bay u really cant say that for them.

The Vikings Im sure they gave Brett this extra time to rest his arm after his surgery. There a lot of vets in the league that dont want to participate in the off-season. He being a Diva maybe, but when he is on the field u cant say he doesnt give his all.

The vikes may have a pretty solid playoff caliber roster, but Farve can streak shoot his team into or out of a game pretty quickly. I just can't see him playing really well late in the season unless somehow he's rested during the year, and I don't see how that happends unless he's hurt.

If we get a shot at them in the playoffs I see D. Hall catching the last pass of his career.

So you think a 40 year old that hasn't trained all off season, hasn't been to any of the off season stuff, hasn't throw to any of the Viks wr can walk on an NFL team and be better than Rosenfels? I'm not so sure about that. The last two years in the latter part of the season his numbers are horrible, which shows he either isn't there mentally or physicaly or both.

Favre is definitely better than Rosenfels/Jackson, at his age does he really need offseason camps? He knows the offense, I'm sure he's kept in shape, toss him out there.

Guess we'll see for sure, the Vikes are starting him this week.
