I agree, GB made the right decision letting him go. It was time and they needed to rebuild. I think the entire situation for both team and player became stale and he needed something to help motivate him. He got it with the way he departed GB.

“Anything less than a superbowl win would be a disappointment”? To Favre and the Vikings maybe, but to football fans and media, it shouldn’t be. The vikings aren’t the best team in the conference, the Saints are and by the looks of how they sliced and diced the Patriots, it’s not even close. I think getting the Vikings to the conference championship game would be a pretty good finish, but I don’t think the Vikings have enough weapons to compete with the Saints, who seem to score a td with every player on the field.

Oh, I forgot about Drew Brees. He’s pretty good too.

Shouldn’t Peyton be the MVP frontrunner? The Vikings have a better running game and defense, and they also have a loss.

While he never had a RB like Peterson in Green Bay, those teams aren’t as bad as people on this thread are making them out to be. Green Bay made the right decision in cutting him loose. His annual will he/won’t he dance was hurting the team, and they would have lost Rodgers had they dragged it out any further. The Packers aren’t good enough to win a Super Bowl with Favre or Rodgers, so they might as well rebuild around the younger QB.

As for his time with the Jets, he was in the MVP conversation before he injured his arm (after the impressive win in Tennessee). Favre landed in the perfect situation in Minnesota, which is why he pushed so hard for it. Anything less than a Super Bowl win would be a disappointment at this point.

It also shows how much coaching matters. The Vikings have talent and they are obviously doing a good job coaching this offense.

Few athletes can perform at their best all the time. Even when Favre isn’t at his best he’s still a very good player, but here we’re seeing him up his game and the players and coaches around him also deserve credit.

Mike, your missing the big picture, the packers had very little talent , other than Green and DD, and everyone said he wasn’t a no. 1 receiver. Yes, Favre carried the team, and their poor decisions by both Sherman, and TT. He never missed a game, if all he was doing was showing up, I don’t think you watched many games. He left it all on the field. It makes the packers look worse all the time, to see just what could have been, if they would played their cards right.

I agree Mike but I also do believe he is playing on a better team today than he had from ’02-’08. The running game of those Packers and Jets doesn’t compare to the talent on this Vikings team, so he doesn’t have to be the play-maker in every game and doesn’t have to take those risks to win…the result is fewer int’s. For a guy that’s played in 300+ consecutive games, I don’t think anyone can question his effort and dedication to the game.
