Damn Farve.

I was all about Farve coming to the Vikings earlier this year. But now I really don't think that it is a good idea. I wanted him there for training camp, so he can mesh with the players. But he said that he was going to stay retired and now he isnt. I think it is too late for him to come and make a big difference.
I really have mixed feelings about this because I think he is one of the greatest QB's to ever play. He will help the Vikings from the get go because he is a vast improvement over the two they are using now. If his health stays up I could see the Vikes going back to the playoffs with a first week bye.
My only fear is that he joined the team too late.

Number 4 as a Vike maybe.

I was happy when Bret Farve retired for the second time because I thought he was done, and never going to come back. I was wrong. There is talk about him comming to the Vikings, which would have been great last year. But this year is going to be different. I dont think he is healed from his injury that took him out last season. He hasnt done surgery for it or anything. I dont know if it was the injury or the way the team reacted to him that kept him from staying a Jet but I really want to know. I think Farve is a vast improvement over the terrible QB staff Childress has assembled, but he is not the long term answer. Yeah he is better then Jackson and Rosenfelds but really who isn't right now. Jackson is one of the dumbest players I have ever seen, just looking at him you know nothing is going on inbetween the ears. Sage Rosenfelds is a better QB then Jackson is because he can think, but he has no arm, and for a position where you need to throw it you kinda need one.

Farve would be good in Minneapolis for a year but much longer then that I dont see him lasting and the Vikes need a long term QB to go with their upstart offense.

Farve is retiring again or so it seems!

The biggest name in football is retiring again, maybe.  But this time he is leaving his team the Jets worse off then they were before he got there.  They traded people for an old man that led the league in interceptions with 22, fired their coach, and worst off cut Chad "fragile as an egg" Pennington only to watch him beat them at home with the Dolphins.

I thought last year with the Packers would have been a great year for Farve to leave, a great player should leave on a high note.  I think it might reflect in how we remember him.  Before he went to the Jets he was, the defenses worst nightmare.  And now he just proved that he is a pick throwing machine that cost his team the playoffs.

It's going to be hard to see #4 go but unless he plays for the Vikings good riddance.
