Maybe you can get a tryout

My comment to CKL probably answered your point. I don’t disagree with you. As Herm says, you play to win the game. If he’s anywhere close to full strength, Favre still gives you the best chance to do that simply because he’s capable of running a more complex offense. But if he’s still nursing wounds, you go with the guy who’s healthy.

As for Webb, he was impressive last night. But so was the pass rush and how Vick reacted to it. I’m not sure the outcome was so much Webb winning as Vick losing. I can certainly understand why Vikings fans are hoping he’s their answer. Good QBs are hard to find. But Dennis Dixon almost beat the Ravens in his first start–didn’t make him viable as a long-term starter.

Favre pretended to be the “Everyman” team player, tough guy, just-want-to-play guy when he was with Green Bay. All along he was really just putting on an act. He truly is all about HIMSELF, his RECORDS and MONEY. He even had to have his own locker room with the Jets…probably the Vikings, too.

He has surely gotten advice these past few years about protecting his legacy…about quitting while on top…and he has ignored it all.

It is just football. Now Favre has to be a real man…a husband and father…hope he can be more successful there in the long run.

If the Vikings get a new set of receivers then it wouldn’t be bad if Farve didn’t retire. He is way better than Webb no question.

Will those mistakes be cured by starting a final regular season game against the Lions? Absolutely not. Will those mistakes be cured during the off season, now that he COULD be the starting QB of the figure? Probably, but no guarantees.

For those that seem to think that Webb is the second coming of Brady, while possible it is doubtful. Most likely, the Vikings will still go for either a veteran QB during the off season or draft a QB and there will be competition for QB.

A coach’s job is to play the QB that gives them the best chance to win now. It is fairly obvious that right now, not last year or over the course of the last 17 years, but right now, that QB’s name is Joe Webb.

It’s true that starting Favre makes no difference in the Viking’s season or Webb’s future. As a matter of fact, it is completely and utterly pointless. So why do it?

Usually a coach that is coaching out the string with a losing team has to choose between starting a QB that gives them the best chance to win that game, and starting a QB he needs to get a look at for next year.

In this rare case, that’s the same guy. And he’s not wearing #4.

Webb looked good last night, and I can’t argue that he has more mobility than Favre. But Webb also has the vulnerabilities of youth and inexperience. By necessity, Frazier has to limit his play-calling to accommodate him. Then again, the Lions are much improved, but they’re not the Pats, so Webb wouldn’t need a full quiver of arrows to handle them.

Whatever he is off the field, I admire Favre’s grit and enthusiasm as a player. On knowledge and instinct alone, a healthy Brett Favre is going to bring more to the table than most QBs. Unfortunately, there’s a difference between being cleared and being healthy. If he’s not at least 90 percent, then he shouldn’t be on the field. This time, I was primarily commenting on the fickleness of fans.

I really hope Favre plays. I want to see his last pass for 4 consecutive seasons be an INT. And, no, if Favre plays, the Vikings will get beat. Favre won’t even walk out of the game this time. It’d be nice to see Suh get the rookie sack record for his position. He won’t if Webb plays so please, play Favre.

It would be a dream come true to watch the Lions, after years of watching the “hero” Brett Favre run up the score with stacked teams late in games against the Lions, have his career ended in fitting fashion in Detroit. That in itself would make the last decade and a half worth it. Lets send him into retirement.

After the Giants game who were you calling for Brett?

After Brett Favre led the Vikings to an early TD against the Bears who were you calling for Joe Webb?

Show us something we can really use.

Lol. I would love for him to say that, but there is probably no chance,

If you actually read the other posts here you’d see almost nothing but people saying they would like to see Joe Webb start.

Looks like you may be reusable fodder for my future rants. Keep it up.

It isn’t going to make miles of difference giving Webb the one last game. He’s probably already showcased everything that he has down to this point from a passing perspective.

But yeah Webb definately has “it”. I don’t know about his work ethic. I don’t know if he can be accurate enough to be elite. Not sure if he’ll stay healthy playing like that. But damnit he has a presence on the field unlike many I’ve seen.

He almost looks bored out there.

And to what end? To appease a broken down sex pervert who’s biggest claim to fame is a career INT record that will never be broken. For those idiot Viking fans (excuse the redundancy there) who think that Favre gives the Vikings the best chance to win, ask yourself what would have happened in the Eagles game last night? About four more sacks and two less touchdowns is the correct answer.

Even in the midst of a disappointing season, the Vikings find yet another way to make it worse.
