Also, I got a good laugh out of the guy talking about haivng low standards for QB's even though he is talking up a 39 year old QB. Farve is 39 years old, he doesnt belong on the football field anymore.
I'm pretty sure there was an Oakland Raiders QB who played into his mid forties...

I hope the Vikings trade Tavaris so they can suffer for this injustice they have done to him.
I wonder if the CFL has anyone worth trading for.

Yeah that was a great finish, losing to Arizona, Carolina, and lol Chicago. Enjoy the last Vikings game of the season this weekend.

In fact I would be willing to make a wager on the Vikings playoff run. If the Vikings win the NFC I will make a post proclaiming Brett Farve to be one of the best quarterbacks in teh league, and also proclaiming that I know absolutely nothings about football. However, if the Vikings fail to win the NFC you have to make a post proclaiming that Farve was indeed over-rated and you were wrong Minnesota would have been better without him.

Hehe, Amendial, I commend you for speaking your mind and sticking to your guns. But do you really and truly feel that the Vikings would have been better off without Favre? That he was over-rated?
33 TDs to 7 INTs, 4200 yards, a 107 QB rating and a first round bye in the playoffs.
Do you honestly believe Jackson would have done better and they should have kicked Favre to the curb?

It's also a misnomer to say that if the Vikings are out in the first round it means that the decision was a wrong one. The Vikings first game happens to be against the hottest team in the league right now. Whether or not they actually win, they're in the discussion. They have a chance. That's all you can really ask for. It's like saying if the Cardinals don't win the Super Bowl, resigning Kurt Warner was a bust and they should have given Matt Leinart the reps. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Based on the number Tavaris put up to end the season last year I believe there was the potential for him to put up good numbers. Farve is a one year stop gap, why can't people see that; it is a failure if they do not win the Superbowl, because this was a, going for it all move. Brett Farve was not signed to take the Vikings to a first round bye, lose and then retire. Hey thats great he was able to lead them to a first round bye, even though he did exactally what I thought he would do, collapse at crunch time. I do believe Tavaris would have been better down the road for the Vikings, and he is a young guy so he can build on the success he would have this season.

Brett Favre was not hired to guarantee a Super Bowl. He was hired because the coach and owner felt he gave them the best shot at the Super Bowl. These guys know nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. If they don't make the big game, Childress isn't going to sit around and say, "crap, guess we shouldn't have signed Favre, he failed us."
Jackson may turn out to be a good player down the road for the team. He will benefit from sitting behind Favre and learning (just like Hasselbeck and Rodgers benefited in their time as backup). But to keep saying they would be better off playing Jackson because he had a few good games last year is just being stubborn. They should have taken their chances with a guy who might be good eventually when they had a shot at a proven winner?
They felt this was their year. All the pieces were there, all they needed was a stable veteran QB. It could have blown up in their face, but so far it's working pretty well.

 he is not near the QB Farve is or every will be...the Vikes brought him in because they want to be in the position they are now. with Jackson they are a sub-par team...im not sure there is a team out there that would pick Jackson up and put him as their starter...not even Jacksonville  .
