Today's Vikings vs. Packers game will probably not be the last NFL game Brett Favre(notes) plays. It should be, though, because at this point, Favre can't do anything for the Vikings franchise other than continue to pilot their dizzying plunge into a foul pit of football sewage.
The Vikings played their fiercest rival today in a game they had to win to keep alive their dim playoff hopes. Not only did they lose; they were destroyed. Embarrassed. Torn apart. The contrast between the beaten-down, ineffective Favre and the energetic, playmaking Aaron Rodgers(notes) could not have been more stark.
The legend of Favre is dead, and Aaron Rodgers killed it.
Favre returned to play in the 2010 season because he wanted to win a Super Bowl. That won't be happening. The Vikings won't be in the playoffs, probably won't be a .500 team, and won't get another positive contribution from Brett Favre. Even if Favre were capable of playing the quarterback position well (and there is zero indication that he can), there's still nothing to gain for the Vikings.
It's time to get Tarvaris Jackson(notes) in the line-up. It's probably way past time. With today's waxing at the hands of the Packers, the focus shifts to 2011. Get Jackson on the field in order to let him develop or to see if he's the guy you want to lead the team next year.
Even if you don't buy the "let's play for next year" philosophy, and are still clinging irrationally to some hope that the Vikes can run the table, finish at 9-7 and luck into a Wild Card spot, then guess what? Tarvaris Jackson's your best shot at that, too.

It’s been dead for awhile.
Did the Vikings actually think they were going to go anywhere with Brett Farve as their quarterback this year?
Some guys just don’t know when to hang it up.
It sounds like Brett is no longer a Favreorite of fans an management.
Nope - not by a long shot. Brett’s the best there ever will be. Chilly screwed the pooch - not Favre.
Bingo!, but just think of the fool that thought paying him all that money was a good ideal!!
They were going to win the Super Bowl...
A bit subtle, but...
So it's your contention that Favre is the best QB ever to play the game?
Should have stayed home Brett!
No Randy,no touchdowns.
The legend of Brett Favre died on January 24, 2010.
It is what always happens when someone stays on too long.
Would have been a great story had he gone out at the end of last season.
What an amazing lack of grace this generation is witnessing these days.
So many entertainers, atheletes, and politicians etc cannot handle it.
What a shame.

I wish the stupid SOB would retire. The only thing he is doing his hurting his legacy.
I used to think he was a damn good quarterback, right up until the first time he retired then came back. After that, he has just turned into an attention whore.
I swear, I saw part of his post-game interview, and I thought he was going to start bawling.
What a damned embarrassment to professional football.
Don’t know why every one is dumping on Favre. Does Jared Allen have even one sack this year? The whole team is playing poorly and their best recivers are out. Their demise was to be expected.
