2td kr/pr, 5td wr, 3td rb. How is this not even close to what he can do.

$100 says he doesn't score 10 tds

AdaM said:

Harvin is listed as a wideout, so he will get a crap ton of slot passes. I bet he will score a total of 10 tds this year as a KR, WR, RB. He will be a good plug in for bye week. I already have steve smith "carolina" welker and BE so i think i will be good.

When AP goes down, how often do you think Favre will ave to throw? 50%...60%...70%? Who knows? I do know that, by signing Favre, the Vikings are essentially saying that this is an all or nothing season. They win this year or they rebuild. Because, outside of Favre, they have nobody to develop to be their starter next season! Or to take over this season when Favre's old ancient ass falls apart! He will get hit, and he will get hurt! That's almost a foregone conclusion!

They're not going to take touches from AP to give to percy, Maybe late in the season he'll be a good pickup.

From what I remember and I could be wrong, but in the losses the Jets had to come from behind a lot.

yeah I know thomas jones is a pretty good RB, but they still threw the ball 50% of the time, I don't know if that's the offensive coordinator's fault or what.

AdaM said:

Yea he was already tearing down at the end of last year, could happen. Then Farve will have to go back 40 times a game. If they can keep Farve throwing under 30 times a game and keep Peterson healthy, they will be pretty bad ass. That is a big if.

I just looked at last years stats, in 5 games when Farve threw under 34 passes his QB rating average was about 110. They also won all 5 games.

@kosar_for_president said:

They're going to give him 35 carries a game and he's going to bust his knee again. He's frickin awesome but runs way too reckless.

AdaM said:

I wouldn't count on anything special out of him this year... especially with that arm injury.

He played great the first 8 games. He should only be throwing a fraction of last year, Adrian Peterson baby.

Are you forgetting how magnificent Favre was last season?

the vikings have adrian peterson, arguably the best RB in the game right now, on the other hand the jets threw the ball probably around 50% or more, so favre won't be throwing INTs if he's just handing it off to peterson who will run it up the gut, and generally herald great performances.

minnesota also has a good WR core, so when favre does throw the ball, he will be throwing it to pretty good receivers... and don't tell me bernard berrian sucks when he had gus frerotte and tavaris jackson throwing to him.

I don't totally disagree. But, I do think you are overlooking the fact that the Jets running game wasn't that bad either. And they even had receivers. The problem was that Favre couldn't hit the receivers. He had no problem hitting opposing CB's and Safeties. He is one of the best to ever play the game. I would never disagree with that. But his time has passed. I doubt he even stays healthy through the first half of the season. Some people just don't know when to hang it up. Favre is one of those people. And I think that the Vikes are taking a step backward this season with Favre leading the way.

Good way to force their hand in trading for DA- eliminate Farve

we'd better hope the williams wall is suspended for the first four weeks of the season. otherwise, week one is looking more and more like a loss, especially considering the vikes' running game against our D.

Its these kind of comments that get me. Maybe if RAC was still here I would think it applies. But this D is not the same anymore. New coaches, new players, other shitty players gone, etc. Its time to stop applying the old regime's labels to this new one until we see what gets put on the field. Who knows, it may turn out to be the best run D in the NFL. It may not. We just don't know.

True. Let's see if that arm of his gets through pre-season unscathed, I'm off to see their pre-season opponents now.
