Why did he wait so long? ... I bet EA comes out with DLC for $10.

Re: Brett Favre=Mr. Overrated (Now officially back)

As a die hard Vikings fan, seeing us have a legit NFL QB once again, combined with that power running game and that defense...

Don't want to get my hopes up....Don't want to get my hopes up....

But damn, Vikes look strong now.

Who's the legit NFL QB?

QBs with a higher QB rating than Favre last season:

Seneca Wallace
Shaun Hill
Trent Edwards
Jeff Garcia
David Garrard

Minnesota, with their defense and AP, needed a QB who can effectively manage a ball-control offense and not turn the ball over. Favre is not that guy and Minnesota doesn't have what Favre needed to be effective even in his prime - great WRs who can make plays on balls thrown up for grabs.

He's taken the practice field! The ESPN "Brett" camera even has exclusive footage of his physical.

Those qb's you just mentioned are Not even close to being Favretastic...Lets face it,Brett makes the Vikes a legit contender now and Just the entertainment value alone makes the NFL more interesting....Seneca Wallace..haha

Re: Brett Favre=Mr. Overrated (Now officially back)

Michael Vick should send Brett a fruit basket because he has officially stolen the show. No talk in Philly about Vick anymore. It's Brett Favre Radio. And people are pissed at him lmao!

No he doesn't. He'll break down towards the end just like last year.

I'll take a Broke-down Favre over....a Gem-Mint Pro graded Tevaris Jackson any day of the week.Besides I think the Vikes will manage his arm just fine.

Knowing how physical the NFC North can be at times I bet Favre breaks down by Week 9.

I'm telling you Favre's ego has ruined the image he had carefully crafted for so many years in Green Bay.

Oh and the GB/MIN games are going to be touted like Ali/Frazier was back in the day. It's going to be sickening.

BINGO!!!!

Can't say I blame him, but these charades need to stop. Just should've been honest from the start.

Has anyone tarnished a legacy more than Brett by hanging on too long? Along with his actions (i.e. going to the Vikes)? Can't think of one off the top of my head. Jordan's Wizards days come to mind but that in no way tarnished his legacy. I wonder how long it will take cheeseheads to forgive him....

Bring out your #4 Vikings Judas jerseys!!

The only guy that is comparable in some ways would be Guy LaFleur who made a comeback in the late '80s with the Quebec Nordiques who were the biggest rivals of the Canadiens at the time. (Other then the Leafs) Even that example is small potatoes compared to what Favre has done.

As for Cheeseheads? I think they won't forgive him until he's 6 feet under.

You are correct sir, people gotto understand especially vikes fans, Farve is not a manage type QB, he has the mentalilty of a gun slinger meaning he going to throw it up hoping his wr can catch the ball. But one thing i can agree with though he does make the vikes better, I mean TJ and the other dude sage watever are both below avg QB or AVG at best.
