its all over espn now i really think he means it this time supposedly he's been tellin the vikings that he is gon retire
-
This is what, the sixth time? Dude is just a MAJOR attention whore, I got no respect for this nigga at all and I hope gets injured for life after he makes a backstabbing comeback run with another team, which he certainly will.

If he returns, it's with the Vikings. Every Viking had the feeling he was coming back, but they say his body is not healing like it use to. Of course at 41 that's expected. I have said it before, with Farve, the Vikings win the Super Bowl this year, and he retires. Without Farve, Viking are good enough to make the Wild Card but with no QB they wouldn't go very far. I say they make a trade to gain a quality QB.

supposedly brad childress said that he feels good bout tarvaris jackson under center they still have that great defense and and great runnin game
-
It's not official, but it's looking like it's leaning toward him retiring.
One of the greats for sure & I don't care what you say about the Vikings, they are done without Brett.
-
Damn some harsh feelings toward brett here
-
He'll be back.
-
If they don't start out strong with Jackson I'd consider bringing in Pennington or Garcia. Pennington especially if they want to build a new QB for the year after. What a great ending it would be for Chad if he ended up on Minn and retired with a ring.

They're going to give Sage a chance before they go get someone else.
This team needs a QB like Brett, Chad would be better than what they got, but still not enough.
The O-Line sucks ass & AP likely would of had worse numbers if teams weren't worried about the PA.

I'm not guaranteeing victory with Chad. I'm just saying it's possible. Vikes still make the playoffs with Chad last year and even if they make all those fumbles, Chad doesn't make that homerun int at the end and maybe gets them close enough to an FG. Who knows. Then no matter what they walk over the Colts D.

favre to retire
thank god.
and please dont change your mind.

maybe it's because I'm in Minnesota, though I root for the Packers over the Vikings, but I want him to comeback one more year. I think the people of Minnesota have never won a Super Bowl, and the only sport they have a chance of winning is in football due to revenue sharing which allows small market teams to compete with large market teams. So if the Vikings can win this year before all the shake up never year, then it would be good for the people here.

He's told ESPN he'll play if he's healthy and the Vikings have stepped up their offer to him for this year :laugh:

he's got an appointment wit the doctor next week and damn they raised his pay from 13 to 20 million (16 million guaranteed)
-
I hope he comes back; I'm rooting for the old man, you gotta. 8)

LOL @ the people who actually thought this diva was planning on retiring.
-
Who gives a fuck...I would say that Favre coming back is about the 50th most important thing I care about in this upcoming football season.
-
Haha...daygo if raiders were on the line 2 get him...ud b sleepin outside als office buildin prayin it went thru...lets not act like hes wack now
-

Im not sayin he's wack. Im sayin he's old and I couldnt care less. He does this shit every off season. I dont see the Vikings winning a superbowl regardless. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are taking the division this year.
-
so he had his 2 days of fame on the sports networks. never really meant it. what a faggot.

What are you trying to say? That I'm wrong or that I'm right but still have no clue cause I'm far away? Because I sure as hell ain't wrong.
-
Nah i dont blame him really...given his age i mean this should b expected...noone knows if hes doin it 4 attention cept 4 him or anyone he told ay ima set the vikings up...but damn lets say the vikings really did up their bid...they that desperate 4 him...and sides if u blame brett...then vikings are at fault also 4 goin back n fourth wit him

Rodgers is probably the better QB at this point but I still think the Vikings have better personnel around Favre
-
wait hold up ur sayin rodgers n packers>> vikings wit brett?
-
3rd straight year of this drama bullshit come on now he should just be straight up bout it its a simple yes or no bout playin
-
wait hold up ur sayin rodgers n packers>> vikings wit brett?
Yup.
-
3rd straight year of this drama bullshit come on now he should just be straight up bout it its a simple yes or no bout playin
He's done this shit for the last 4 seasons man, nothing new...
-
Rodgers better than vikings...well c...thats not rock solid...rodgers dope but brett can still play...i mean look at last season...4 both vikings n packers
-

The Vikings were the better team last year. Rodgers was the better QB. Rodgers was riduclous last year....and his offensive line was getting him killed. The offensive line will be better this year and so will the team. I see the Vikings as no better than last year, but with Favre being another year older if he plays. Both teams will clearly be the class of the division. But I say the Pack gets the best of the Vikings this year, and im pullin for Rodgers over Favre. He's a Cal guy anyways 8)
-
Packers bein better is very realistic. The O-line was horrendous last year but it improved as time went on. They will be a 10+ win team.

i know i mean even blind people saw this coming
actually i thought it wasnt gon happen cuz at first they were like if favre gets that ankle surgery it means hes comin back and he was set to return you know?

Maybe Im a lil biased cus I predicted before last year that Rodgers would have a monster year...and in most fantasy leagues he kinda flew under the radar during drafts. But I managed to pick him up in mine and he ended up bein the top fantasy QB last year.
-
Rodgers is dope and one of the hardest workin players

i was asking a question
-
Rodgers was the better QB? Favre had arguably his best statistical season last year & lead his team to the NFC game & won an ESPY for "Play of the Year" (I know, but still lol).
MAYBE this coming season, if Brett comes back, Rodgers will have a better year; but if we're talking about last year, Favre >>> Rodgers.
-
Given #4s age...he was dope but thats crazy if he had his best season wit a team he was wit only 4 a season (so far)
-

I think it's clear to anyone who thinks about that 2009 was not Bret Favre at his absolute best. You'd have to go back to the late 90s for that. It just shows what a better team can do for numbers. No Packers team he was on had a defense like these Vikes. No run game he had was as good as last year's and he was never asked to do as little as he was asked to last year (meaning it wasn't up to him to carry a mediocre team). The numbers showed that.
And if one of those fumbles didn't happen Favre would have retired with another ring.
-
Nothing will be new this season with what we watch last season, They just need to lauch a full attack..... Let hope for new moves..
-
So u people think he luvs attention...said he wants 2 retire cuz he had an idea of how much he was gon get (12 mil or less) he holds out and gives vikes a chance 2 up their zeros...they up it and now he doesnt want 2 retire=all bout the dollar sign even tho he has said otherwise...and lol @ chad complainin sayin muffuccaz call him a diva but not #4
-
hes old 40 years old i dont blame him for thinkin bout retiring he has a fucked up ankle thats not healin as fast as a young player's ankle would football is a collision sport and i think that his body cant really take much more

Favre had probably the best year of his career last year. No arguing how great of a year he had. But you have to consider a couple of things.
Yds TDs Ints
Rodgers 4434 30 7
Favre 4202 33 7
Rodgers threw for more yards, Brett threw more TD's. But Rodgers uses his legs alot as well and ran for 5 TD's. Brett obviously ran for none. Also take into consideration the conditions. Id be willing to bet if they switched places Rodgers would have killed Favre statistically. Rodgers had no offensive line, he got POUNDED last year and still put up those numbers. His team had a good defense, but not as good as the Vikes. And clearly Favre had the better running game to work with. Rodgers did all of this with opposing defenses mostly playing the pass.
So yeah, u could argue either way as to who had the better year. My thing is, Rodgers did it with almost no help. Rodgers was Lebron on the Cavs while Favre was Kobe on the Lakers. ;D
-
Damn lookin at those numbers makes u realize how dope rodgers is...and brett

I don't think anyone in the Vikings organization if given the chance would take Favre over Rodgers for the '10 season. But we are comparing a 40 year old Favre here. Rodgers in my mind has a long way to go get to Favre's peak level. 95 Favre takes the 09 Packers to the Superbowl maybe.

Thats tough to call man. Old school Favre wouldnt have thrown 33 TD's with only 7 INT's. You could argue that last year was the best year of his career individually. To be honest, Ive never been a real fan of Favre. Having the media suck his nuts every 5 seconds doesnt help. But damn, he would get praise for shit you should get benched for. He would throw a stupid INT...and all anyone would talk about was how he "just has so much confidence in his arm that he thinks he can make any throw". No. He just made a stupid fuckin play lol. He has done some amazing shit on the football field...no doubt. Im a Raider fan...at that Monday night game after his dad died was one of the most ridiculous performances Ive ever seen. But there was some other shit goin on there. He was just flingin balls in the air and people were comin down with em.

I'm not talking about post-Dad 2000s Favre. I'm talking 95, 96, 97 Favre. I don't need to bother looking for any stats. I remember watching him play. At his best he was twice as good as anyone playing at the same time. And for every he has so much confidence in his arm INTs there's 3 so much confidence in his arm homerun completions that only a handful of other guys in history could make in the same situations.
Rodgers has showed me some great Football no doubt, and I'm not saying he can't or won't get there. Laugh at me if you want but I'd take Rodgers right now over any year Brady. The dude is solid. But as of right now he has not reached the level that Favre had reached in his prime. But if you ask me the only other 3 QBs that ever have reached that level were Unitas, Marino, and Manning. Favre had some decent teams and a great system but some of those throws he made and some of those situations he got out of, that I personally remember seeing, were unreal.

I dunno. I agree with the Rodgers/Brady thing. I think a lot of doubters of Rodgers havent actually watched him play. Since I had him in Fantasy last year, I kept a close eye on him. And he is a really good QB. Im not putting him ahead of Favre at his best yet....but statistically you could argue he just topped Favre's best year. To me Favre has always been that guy with an amazing arm, amazing leader, not so intelligent of a QB. He was the exact opposite of Joe Montana who was a very accurate, very intelligent, very "play within the system" kind of guy. Favre was fun to watch...but that was partly because you never knew if he would win or lose the game for you. He was truly a gun slinger who just relied on his arm strength to muscle balls in there. But other QB's like Marino, Manning, etc were FAR more impressive QB's IMO.

Brett Favre is a fag

Brett Favre is a fag
lol
-
Yeah 4ever everyone talked bout how he could have won the game had he not have thrown that nterception...they wouldnt let him go
