As a diehard Packer fan it’s tough to watch Brett eat the league up, similiar to the mid 90s. I have to say the old man still has it. Because he is now the current QB for the Vikings, I don’t like him just as I didn’t like the other QBs the Vikings have used since I’ve been following the NFL. Once he retires again, I’ll probably go back to liking to watch his highlights and remembering the good times he brought to me as a Packer fan. I just wish he’d give some of the bad times he caused (like the NY Giants playoff interception) to the Vikings ;)

BS!

Of the 10 WR’s and TE’s on the Giants roster, their combined experience is 23 years. 2.3 years per receiver ain't much. Three rookies and no one with more than 4 years in the NFL.

The reason the Giants have gone flat is obvious. No Steve Spagnuolo to coach the defense.

Favre had a very good first-half of the season with the Jets last year. Doesn’t that give any of these analysts any pause?

I have seen some of his play this year. Seems to me the Vikings aren’t asking a whole lot from him.

“Comeback Player of the Year” I can see. I’ll reserve judgement on MVP, however.

They better give it to him or he’ll turn into a blubbering idiot.

I was at Southern Miss when Favre was there. I have never seen anyone with such a strong arm. We were the only team to beat Florida State one year. Then again we lost to a terrible Tulane the same year.

That’s odd. On the Fox Sports site, Drew Brees was leading the fan voting by a wide margin yesterday. Peyton Manning was the writer’s choice.

Watch for Tom Brady to come on strong the second half of the season...the Pats face P. Manning and Brees over the next two weeks. That’s must-see football.

Weasel Favre will be a mess by the end of the year.

It’s actually a pretty good year for watching ball...Some good QBs out there, Brett being up at or near the top. I read some comments about the Giants and Eli in the thread...I am not a fan of the Giants (just good football), but didn’t I hear that they lost like four of their front line starters???
