Yes, he has the Vikings over a barrel, but if he isn't healthy enough to play, he shouldn't. He isn't trying to avoid anything - the Vikings haven't pressured him to be in training camp, and frankly, he doesn't need to be in training camp. You know it, I know it, and the Vikings know it too.......

as the story goes, I guess we'll see.............either way, the show will go on - with or without him........it just won't be as fun without him for the Vikes

We are getting at the same thing really, just different routes. Bottom line, none of this has come out of his mouth yet though and he has an established history of back and forth on this matter. I think he will be playing this year as a Viking.

Maybe I misread what you said

Favre will be back. He's just gonna jag everybody around till the regular season starts so that is all the media talk's about...Anybody else tired of hearing about this clown?

Hopefully, someone will knock his old ass into retirement this year so he won't have a decision to make next year.

He didn't go to camp last year and started game 1 by completing 14-of-21 passes for 110 yards and one touchdown pass against the Browns, the Browns. Sounds like to me he needed camp.

With or without Brett, Saints win game 1 without breaking a sweat.

Sounds to me like Peterson carried the ball 30+ times that game.

Saints win or lose game 1 will break a sweat. The Vikings have a hell of a pass rush that is very capable of knocking Brees on his ass on every snap.
As long as Peterson doesn't cough up the ball,that's going to be a close game....regardless or not if the Favre is taking the snaps or not on the Vikings side

hahahaha...any douche that thought he was done is a moron. he said today that he'll play for the vikings this year if he feels he is up to it. so...there you have it...he'll be playing again this year.

It sounds like to me Adrian Peterson carried the ball very well, and the Vikings didn't need to throw the ball as much, just as importhater said.

We'll see about game 1 when it happens.

The Saints have one of the best O lines in the NFL (4 of the 5 starters are Pro Bowlers and the other was a first year starter last year filling in for another Pro Bowler) and Brees is one of the least sacked/hurried/pressured QB's in the league.

In last year's NFCCG Brees was playing tight and Payton was calling very conservatively, that is what resulted in a close game.

Once they got their confidence back and started calling a reasonably aggressive game, well, you know what happened since I'm sure you watched the Superbowl.

Saints win game one:

Saints - 38
Vikings - 24 (with Brett) 17 (without Brett)

Honestly, do you think that the play calling would have been the same had Brett been capable of performing better than he did?

Did AP suddenly get so much worse as the year went on making the team rely on Brett more?

I think the answer to both questions is no.

Brett got better throughout the year because he was practicing with the team. Maybe he might have been at that level game one last year had he gone to training camp. I certainly think he would have been able to perform better than he did had he gone.
