Some free advice: I'd ditch the Disney references if you want to make the cut at amateur hour.


Oh God, I can't believe people let this by ... :lol:

Disney? Disney? Disney?

The original producer of the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" was Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film is currently owned by Warner Bros. and Turner Entertainment (current). "THIS AIN'T NO MICKEY MOUSE OPERATION HERE!" (I believe Daffy Duck once said that.)

Combine that with the fact that some key pro bowl players are out of the offense for awhile and Favre just won't be the same. The vikes had a great year last year no doubt, but the magic is gone and what the vikes should probably have done was invest in a 23 year old QB that will develop rather than a 40 year old one that may be carried off the field in a stretcher this year.


I'd say we're seeing the same Favre we've seen his entire career. Look at his QB ratings since he went to Green Bay:

1992-93: 85.3
1993-94: 72.2
1994-95: 62.4
1995-96: 99.5
1996-97: 95.8
1997-98: 92.6
1998-99: 87.8
1999-00: 74.7
2000-01: 78.0
2001-02: 94.1
2002-03: 85.6
2003-04: 90.4
2004-05: 92.4
2005-06: 70.9
2006-07: 72.7
2007-08: 95.7
2008-09: 81.0
2009-10: 107.2
2010-11 (so far) : 56.1


Favre has hot streaks and cold streaks. That's just the player he is. He managed to put up three 90+ seasons in a row while he was in his prime, but expecting him to come anywhere near his career best performance from last year is unfair. I'm sure that he'll end up with a much higher rating than 56.1, but putting all of your hopes on him having a solid year is nothing more than a crap shot.

Oh, in before "you're just saying that because you're a Bears fan".

I always choose a team to avoid being an outcast at the bbqs. I remember being a pats fan.. others with a helmet black and yellow and some other teams.

Which should be my team this season? I need a good team, to make fun of others.

You're just jealous that your Mexican-ass isn't getting any attention.

Also, watch out in the Clan forums, because I heard jp doesn't like your type.

I think the key point of you post was prime. He is way past it and while he is still better than a number of QB's, the vikes would be smart to let him go after this season regardless of how he performs.

Hey! Hey! I see what you did there!

Nice tie-in with the "is Favre into woodworking?" question.
