Phurfur 70 Posted July 16, 2009 Was Favre even on the sidelines at the time?And despite the one comment that it was not his job...there are numerous quotes out there from Rodgers on how much Favre helped him over the years...but the one quote got much more play. Yes he was; he was sitting on the bench pouting. and what would you say if you were Rodgers? Edit: Actually what I thought was funny during that game was his complete lack of interest in the game and the team in general. This is when my opinion of Brett Favre changed.

Phurfur 70 Posted July 16, 2009 Warner was able to put his ego aside for the good of the team. Farve has Always been known as a man with a large ego. I wouldnt expect this from him. Very well put Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doozer 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Damn, you guys are harsh on Tarvaris! Did you see how he went 3-1 in weeks 14/15/16/17 with a close loss to the falcons. He went 57/89 for 68% passing with 8 TD and 1 INT, not too shabby! Granted he didn't have the best playoff games, but it was his first, and he threw the ball 35 times... anytime Tarvaris throws the ball 35 times it's more bad playcalling/coaching than his fault, especially against a pretty good Eagles D. Seems like when he's finally getting it they're starting to give up on him... NOT ME! Jackson = fantasy football sleeper gem! lolz Conversely, Favre finished up his 08 campaign gloriously, and single handedly cost his team a playoff spot! Weeks 14/15/16/17 he went... 55/132 for 42% passing w/ 2 TDs and 8 INTs. Pity another team will hamper their QBs development to sell some tickets/jerseys to a washed up ego-maniac. “We’re a team and we win together … but at the same time, you can’t turn the ball over and expect to win,” Jones told Hot 97 FM. “The other day, the three interceptions really hurt us. I mean, that’s just reality,” Jones told the radio station. “If I were to sit here and say, ‘Oh, man, it’s OK,’ that’s not reality. … I don’t like it, I know everybody else on the team doesn’t like it. Jones went on to say Favre’s careless play hurts the team jeopardizes every potential victory. -Thomas Jones An anonymous Jets players also piled on Favre, stating he never talked to the team and was very standoffish. “There was a lot of resentment in the room about him. He never socialized with us, never went to dinner with anyone,” the player told Newsday. http://sports.popcrunch.com/thomas-jones-j...te-brett-favre/ While this may sound harsh, Favre (IMO) didn't learn the playbook for the Jets, won't for the Vikings, plays the same way he did ten years ago without the physical/mental tools necessary, and will lose more games for the Vikings than he will win.

Admiral Awesome 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Tarvaris could be replaced and the current ability could be replaced. The Vikings have some chance this year, and if all else fails, they could probably pick up a decent QB next year. 2010 draft is supposed to be the year of the quarterback.

Not going to dinner with anyone is one thing. He is a family man, and if he is making time for his family, I dont blame him. but If he is not going to even talk to teammates, that is just poor. Also, there is no excuse for not learning the playbook. That just shows a lack of committment on his part. At his age, if he is going to be worth anything to anybody, he needs to be committed to the team and committed to winning. so if the above is true, he truly is finished and I'll call it right now. Farve is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farve is done. Favre acted like a horses ass from day 1 with the Jets. He had some early moments but in the end, broke Jets fans hearts with his idiotic decisions and his immense number of INTs. Good riddance. POS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
