Favre signs with Vikings!

[tboo]

Stupid Favre & the Vikings, what were they thinking? Wait..what?

 

[spidey07]

Yeah I think he's a potentially high reward pick for little risk.

QBs in my estimation:
1. D. Brees
2. T. Brady
3. P. Manning
4. A. Rogers
5. P. Rivers
6. C. Palmer (serious injury risk here)
7. D. McNabb
8. K. Warner
9. M. Schaub
10. T. Romo
11. M. Hasslebeck
12. E. Manning
13. J. Cutler
14. M Cassell (gut feeling that Cassell + Bowe = money)
15. M. Ryan
15. C. Pennington
16. B. Favre
17. J. Flacco
18. M. Bulger
19. D. Gerard
20. B. Rothlisberger
21. J. Delhomme
22. T. Edwards
23. K. Orton
24. B. Quinn
25. Cambell
26. M. Stafford (assuming he starts)
27. M. Sanchez
28. S. Hill

WOW! You were pretty spot on with the top ones. I haven't checked the standings but I think your top 5 are dead on.

Stupid Favre & the Vikings, what were they thinking? Wait..what?

it's not what were they thinking, it's the way they all and espn went about it. i don't need an update from farve's commode every 5 minutes. i don't need press conferences from the GM saying it isn't going to happen before it does. i don't need farve saying he's retired and then not retired every month. just admit that you hate preseason football as much as everyone else in america and get on with it.

 

[BTA]

He's not that close actually.

Shaub and Roethlisberger are top 5, in passing yards anyway.

Not like picking Brees, Manning, and Brady is really going out on a limb or anything either.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Rivers is too high in that list. And the bottom half is ridiculous, but I understand that this was posted before the preseason even started so whatever. It is funny seeing Brady Quinn and Matt Cassell ranked above Mark Sanchez. It's hard to know how rookies will turn out!

 

[chalmers]

Edit: Also big WTF at $10-$12 million. Give him the vet's minimum and see if he can actually throw a TD before throwing 5 INTs.

Interesting..

Sounds like thats an issue you need to take up with ESPN

Fuck Farve....Favree...whatever....how is it that you can carry the r before the v anyway? He's going to get the Vikes exactly where he got the Jets...nowhere...I hope a Packer breaks his ass in one of their two games this season. Poetic justice at it's finest....I predicted it here first!

Preach it!

 

[TechAZ]

This guy needs to take a hint and retire. You're not good anymore. John Smoltz needs to take this advice as well.

Now, if it's a gimmick and the Vikes are doing it because they want to sell more tix then more power to them. Even if it was at the expense of dragging your team through the media.

Favre sucks!

It is both sad and amusing to watch Brett Favre completely trash the Hall of Fame career he built with the Packers. It's like Michael Jordan with the Wizards, except with 100x the drama and stupidity.

Edit: Also big WTF at $10-$12 million. Give him the vet's minimum and see if he can actually throw a TD before throwing 5 INTs.

He's so overpaid, I think he already threw 3 INT's and only 21 TD's in 10 games. Pathetic!

 

[Newbian]

Thank god you had to bump a old thread three times in a row instead of doing one post...

 

[dennilfloss]

Looks like there's nice crow on the plate for Favre/Vikings haters. You want it fried or steamed?

 

[meltdown75]

lol flossy

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

LOL @ the Favre haters....

 

[Miramonti]

Wow, what a fame whore.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I've got to say, he's been pretty impressive with the Vikings this season.

 

[Miramonti]

Too bad he waited until he's 40 to have a season like this...

Anyone saying 'I told you so' can pull your heads out...you can't possibly say you saw this coming, in particular 9-1 and possibly the best year of his career.

 

[Pepsei]

i saw this coming.

 

[Miramonti]

i saw this coming.

My bad, Pinocchio.

 

[TechAZ]

Technically, only the 1st post was a bump.

Actually it's not surprising at all. His last year with the Packers was a pretty damn good year. 1 TD away from the Super Bowl.

 

[Pepsei]

My bad, Pinocchio.

actually... it's pretty logical... when there is a prediction, one way or another ~1/2 of the people will be wrong a few months later. hilarity ensues... i don't need a crystal ball to see that. :sneaky:

 

[DrPizza]

This is just getting stupid.

pwned

It was stupid awhile ago. This is just the next chapter.

pwned

This completely sucks, if true.

pwned

Jesus Christ.

pwned

Most overrated QB of all-tme

pwned

an Epic Fail yes.

pwned

Past his prime and injury prone... how fast can we sign him up?!? Dumb.

... However, since returning to play with the Jets, he hasn't been anything to write home about. If he does end up playing here and the Viks have a decent season, I'll order up a big 'ole plate of crow although I'll still be bitter over the training camp thing. On the flip side, if the Viks end up bombing again, you can be damn sure I'll be the first guy to say "hate to say I told you so - ALRIGHT!" Just like the dude from The Hives.

pwned, and enjoy your crow

Poor Minny. Someone buy this guy a douche because he's obviously a woman masquerading in a QB's body.

pwned

You know your team is desperate when you sign 90 year old Brett Favre.
Hey, I hear that Vinny Testeverde is available!
:laugh:

pwned

Boo to this. I'll cheer for him because he's a Viking now and I have been a Vikings fan since I was a kid, but I wish he would have just stayed retired.

semi-pwned

This made the upcoming NFL season about 10x more interesting. I've grown to dislike Favre, so I'll relish another opportunity to watch him crash and burn.

pwned

Clarrett is a shining example of how to ruin an amazing NFL career before it ever gets started. Favre is a shining example of how to erase an amazing NFL career.

pwned

Maybe the arm will fall off.

pwned

I wouldn't even pay favre half of 12 million. He's going to sputter midway through the season.

apparently pwned, but there's still a few games left

Fuck Farve....Favree...whatever....how is it that you can carry the r before the v anyway? He's going to get the Vikes exactly where he got the Jets...nowhere...I hope a Packer breaks his ass in one of their two games this season. Poetic justice at it's finest....I predicted it here first!

pwned

I'll continue to watch the Vikes every week, and more than likely continue to be disappointed.

happily pwned

I have been a Vikings fan for years, but this is like signing the antichrist to run your church. Desperation is not fun to watch.

pwned

He needed to come back to pad his INT numbers until they out of reach
/oh

pwned

srsly
All these people saying he's a better qb than the other 2 on the team seem to have forgotten last season. The problem with signing an old qb who still thinks he's got it is that he will still try to force the ball into triple coverage. 10 years ago he would have made a fantastic completion that awed everyone. Now? INT.
And it will only get worse as the season goes on.

Playing a mediocre qb who knows they're mediocre is a much better option than playing this asshole, who will single handedly lose several games for them and destroy their playoff ambitions. At least a mediocre but humble qb will take care of the ball and not take insane risks like Farve.

Royally pwned

Anyone saying 'I told you so' can pull your heads out...you can't possibly say you saw this coming, in particular 9-1 and possibly the best year of his career.

I pointed out that he adds the balance the Vikings needed - they had a great running game, and finally they have a pass threat. They were already a playoff team. While I wasn't very specific - I strongly implied that they were now a better team than the previous playoff caliber team.

 

[Miramonti]

Actually it's not surprising at all. His last year with the Packers was a pretty damn good year. 1 TD away from the Super Bowl.

Wasn't bad, but wasn't MVP-ish either (unless you consider the only vote not going to Brady was for favre ).

And he really sucked last year.

That doesn't add up to 'best season of his career' pace by ANY stretch, even with a solid running game.

DrPizza for MVP
