Tarvaris Jackson Minnesota Vikings Quarterback?


Brett Favre



Tarvaris Jackson

VS















   Well, were counting down the days to the deadline of when Brett Favre usually return to the Minnesota Vikings. Brett Favre, A 19 season Veteran, has to return by the start of the Regular Season Game Vs the Saints, or more auspiciously on By Saturday: When The Vikings Face The St. Louis Rams And Sam Bradford For the 1st Pre-season Game. By the looks of it so far, Jackson, a three-year veteran will be the Vikings starter, at least for the Pre-season. Here's an in depth look at the Vikings Young, felt quarterback the past three seasons:

Some Vikings Fans think that if Favre doesn't come back that the Vikings ,at most, will be playoff- contenders this year. With Favre, However, the majority of Minnesota Vikings fans think that We are Superbowl Favorites. Jackson, although not as experience and accurate as Brett Favre, does hold some versatility in his passing game and can rush to get short yardages for the 1st down.




So, The downsides of having Tarvaris Jackson as a starting quarterback Are


  1. He is inexperienced in the play-offs and not fully mentally mature, like Favre.
  2. He is short and his drop-back "squat", although somewhat of a misnomer is not the finest mechanic pre-pass mechanics.
  3. Tarvaris Jackson is not that good under pressure and doesn't have an accurate quick-release pass like Favre. In other words, Tarvaris hasn't mastered some of the passes a NFL quarterback must have in order to succeed in the NFL.
  4. Jackson is streaky. Let's face, it in the 2007 Season he lost the first three games and won the last four games in the stretch so the Vikings could make it into  the play-offs vs the Eagles [We all remember that game when Jackson through an interception to Eagles CB, Asante Samuel, who took it to the house to end the half].To save explanation, Jackson hit a cold spot in the play-offs ultimately ending in a Vikings devastating loss.
  5. Jackson hasn't shown star quality, so in essence, the Minnesota Vikings are wasting valuable playing time on a expendable quarterback.
  6.  He throws the interceptions. Turnovers can make or break a team's season like in 2008 for the Minnesota Vikings and 2010 [ Brett Favre's interceptionAdrian Peterson's fumbles, and Percy  Harvin's fumble].

What Jackson Has that Makes him an Exceptionally good Quarterback:
  1. Has good speed and can run in Third-down short yardage situations.
  2. Young, a lot of potential, and showing promising signs in some respects.
  3. Jackson has a good arm and is patient in the pocket.Jackson's arm strength is damn good but I still don't get, like many other Vikings fans, we all know that Jackson can throw the long ball so why not try his arm out. I mean, if you look at the two seasons he was a full-fledged starter, he seemed to be always, about half of the time, throwing short slants, sideline dumps, or screen passes.
  4. He is versatile. Even though he hasn't shown it, he's a Michael Vick. He can run, play running back, is in good shape , can take hits, and can throw all types of distances pretty soundly.


So, What's going on with Brett Favre? Are we in for a solace until the regular season or are we going to see him come Saturday in the 1st pre-season game vs the Rams,.  Yes, and no I speculate. Get it, I'm waffling!! Moving on, Brett Favre will come back just not until the 1st Regular season game on September 9 Vs The Saints because he needs [and wants supposedly] the full-time for recovery so he can play healthy this year. It's not a matter of when, in Favre's case, it remains a matter of how he will play and stay healthy throughout the whole season. So, what's the latest on Brett Favre? Well, let's just say that even Brett himself probably has doubts about his "decision" in part due to his indecisiveness. We all love Brett, but we only love him when he's playing football, and at that for the Minnesota Vikings. We want [and need supposedly!!] a Superbowl or World Series [Twins] here in Minnesota. Were going on a thirty year drought of no championships in regards to Minnesota professional sports teams. For god's sake start producing and brighten up our winter Brett Favre [Or Joe Mauer/Liriano] Somethings got to give in the next five years, that's all I'm predicting, a Superbowl via Brett Favre in the next year would be most gratifying to us and Himself for the shot that we missed out on last year. And no I'm not being somber about our loss to the Saints I'm being revengeful. That's right, 2010-2011 Minnesota Vikings Dallas, Nada New Orleans!!

Agent Announces: "That Favre Will Play If Healthy"

Brett Favre's Agent, Bus Cook, Announces that "Brett Favre Will Play If Healthy."
This is great news for Vikings fans. Now the only piece that has to fall into place for the Vikings to Go to Dallas this year is for Favre's doctor, Doctor Andrews, to clear him for play this year. Dr. Andrews better clear Brett to play this year because if not he'll fell receive the hate of the Purple Pride community. For real, Brett Favre has undergone three ankle surgeries, I'm sure it's just sore and stiff, not a serious problem. The main priority for our offensive line this year is to Stop Julius Peppers [Bryant Mckinnie] from abusing Favre. Peppers, recently traded to the Chicago Bears, is a beast when it comes to sacking quarterbacks. We face the Bears two times this year and our offensive line, especially Bryant Mckinnie better come prepared to play some smash-mouth Football those days:Here's The 2010-2011 Schedule with My Predicted Wins And Losses. Wins are purple, Bright Red  is losses [only 2], and Blue is vs The Chicago Bears:


Minnesota Vikings Schedule
9/09 Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints -Biggest game of the year, we should show them how lucky they were during that NFC Championship Game Last Year!
9/19 Miami Dolphins @ Minnesota Vikings- Automatic Win, no threats on Offense!
9/26 Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings- Automatic Win, Enough Said
Vikings Bye Week-Rest Up Boys!!
10/11 Minnesota Vikings @ New York Jets-Tough Game, But In The End Favre Delivers A Game-Winning Pass To Rice In The End-zone
10/17 Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings- Playoff Match-Up Of Last Year, Vikings Roll Because Of Superior Defense And Pressuring Romo In The Pocket
10/24 Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers-We'll Give The Packers One Only Because They Have Home-Field Advantage!
10/31 Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots- Get To Brady Early On Defense, Force A Turnover And Build Momentum From There, Too Much Adrian Peterson And Favre!!
11/7 Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings- Superior Offensive And Defensive Lines We Win The Battle In The Trenches And Take The Cake!!
11/14 Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears- Brett Favre Explodes For 300 Yards And Jared Allen Gets His, Vikings Win!!
11/21 Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings- Our Defense Holds In The Second Half And We Beat The Cheese heads At Home!
11/28 Minnesota Vikings@ Washington Redskins-Donovan McNabb With No Other Weapons, Haynesworth Still Trying To Pass The Test...
12/05 Buffalo Bills @ Minnesota Vikings- No Weapons On Offense-Clear Favorites-We Steam Roll Them!!
12/12 New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings- Too Much Eli Manning For Our Secondary To Handle, Vikings Drop One.
12/20 Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings- Peppers Is Neutralized By Mckinnie And The Vikes Outscore Them For Another Victory!
12.26 Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles- Brett Favre Is Too Good To Be Stopped And Adrian Peterson Has A Good Day!
1/2/2011 Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions- When's The Last Time We Lost To The Lions? 2007?

So, Our Main Focus for this year is to protect Favre and Keep The Turnovers To A Minimum, [that means AP has to hold onto the ball ] and our road to the playoffs and eventually the Superbowl doesn't look to hard.  Now that we know that Brett is coming back if Dr, Andrews Clears Him For This Season all we can do is wait and pray for #4 to Lead us to the holy land. Last year, we had bad turnover problems in the playoffs, that was the only thing that prevented us from taking home the Lombardi Trophy. So , If we just tweak Adrian Peterson's carrying Style and Get Harvin To learn how to run out of the backfield, all the while keeping Brett Healthy The Superbowl is Ours.

Minnesota Vikings Superbowl  XLV Champions!!!




             

Brett Favre Retiring? Star Tribune Confirms

This is the third time we've announced this, but this time, it may actually be permanent: Brett Favre has reportedly announced  his plans to retire from the NFL.[ BS, rigamorarole, persifilage,lies, impossible, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! My Initial Reactions]!!
Favre's 19 seasons in the league have been filled with more touchdowns, interceptions, drama, retirements and unretirements than any other quarterback in NFL history. Often brilliant, sometimes frustrating, but never boring, Favre seemed to always be in the limelight, whether as Packers icon or would-be savior of the Vikings and Jets.







In Minneapolis, early this morning, The Star Tribune's Headline was "Bret Favre Announces Final Retirement."We all know about the previous two times he's announced this without any indication of coming back, that he was retired officially. We've been through the Brett Favre Roller Coaster full of tears, lies, rumors, and eventually bliss with his sudden returns. One thing that I can tell Vikings Fans truthfully from what I've heard today surronding Brett Favre is that there is as much chance that Brett Favre is actually retired as there is a chance that His Wife isn't hot!!!  Slim chance, right! Everyone is skeptical of the "official retirement announcement" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Ryan Longwell, his teammate for nine seasons [counting this when when he comes back] has said that he talked to him yesterday and there was no indication of Favre retiring, and that he never received a text message like when he "retired" with the Jets and Packers.  Has the silverfox finally succumbed to his ankle pain.stiffness and called it quit for goods? Or he he just trying to get 20 million instead of the 13 million guaranteed he has for this year like the other top quaterbacks[Tom Brady And Drew Brees]? Brett has tweeted and texted many times that his ankle is bothering him and that his ankle is the only thing that's stopping him from returning to the Vikings organization. Even at the ESPYS he declared that his ankle wasn't at the point where he wanted it. Does this mean the misery for Brett Favre and the Shoe-in Vikings this year for the Superbowl in Dallas. It is and it isn't. It is, becasue T-jack is unexperienced and not clutch in pressure situations, as displayed in the 2008 playoffs vs the Eagles[Asante Samuel 74  pick-off for a touchdown to give the Eagles the lead at Half].

























Brett Favre's Ankle After Three Surgeries









Say it isn't so, oh wait it probably isn't true!






Are You Serious?Brett Favre Retirment Announcement:



Here's A Video of the live report:





 Brett Favre Retiring? Playoffs? are you talking about no playoffs?!








WHY THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!

  1. He's Still Alive: What else is BRETT FAVRE going to do besides play football for the Vikings and win the Superbowl. Ahh, let's see, mow his lawn with his John Deere Riding Lawn-Mower, play with his kids, Go Fishing, Watch the Vikings win the Superbowl with T-Jack, watch TV, Play golf, Go hunting for bucks, take a walk with his wife, sleep, eat steaks and grill-out, and have sex. Minus the sex part, everything on this list fails in comparison with leading the Vikes to the Superbowl!! This was the storyline for this year, "Brett Favre and The Vikings Return To Win The Superbowl After Devastating Loss to Saints." Not Brett gets pooped and quits!! You've had three ankle surgeries, I'm sure it's fine. at least give Vikings Fans some closure, For real!
  2. He Still has pure joy for the game: I don't have to go into details on that. Everyone knows that Brett is the most entertaining player to watch in the NFL. Losing him from football is like losing Roger  Federer from Tennis, Tiger Woods from Golf, John Madden from Announcing, Kobe Bryant from Basketball, Phi Jackson from Coaching, Lance Armstrong from Cycling, Michael Phelps from Swimming, and A-Rod from Baseball. What to they all have in common? They all are the respectful kings of their sport and play it with pure joy and love. There isn't a figure in sports that is more amicable than Favre. Even Green Bay Fans Still Love him unconditionally!




       3. He's Getting 13 million Guaranteed this year and a Superbowl: Who's to doubt that the Vikings aren't the favorites for the Superbowl this year if we reacquired Favre, not certainly the Saints [lucky bastards]!
We have no holes in our roster, [except back-up quarterback], and our defense and offensive lines combined are the highest paid, most talented lines in the NFL.Brett can , and still can win a Superbowl if he banishes his impulsive action.



       4. His wife renewed her Lifetime Fitness Subscription In Minneapolis: Certainly this is more concrete evidence that Brett is staying in Minnesota and playing with the Vikings than the legitimacy of Brett Favre Saying he's retired. I mean, why else would Deanna renew her subscription? People from the Deep South, as Brett and Deanna are, don't just switch lifestyles to the Midwest and the freezing,snowy conditions for nothing.

        5. His teammates will talk him out of it, or he'll realize what he still has in Minnesota: Ryan Longwell, AP, Childress, and all of his friends in the NFL will be sending him texts telling him how good he still is and how they hate to see him go and he'll flop his intent and return to the Vikings.

       6. Brett Favre Is Too Good To Retire: C'mon he just came off his statistically Best Season! The man had 32 touchdowns and a 67.5 % complete Percentage. He never had a better season than in 2009, he can't be completely down with his decision even if that's his feeling right now.

     7. Bret Favre Is Impulsive: Brett Favre is a guy who lives in the moment. Do you think he actually compared all of the intangibles and opportunities he has or did he just wake up with a stiff ankle and decide in a rush of despair, I can't play this year! He never gave a press conference like the other two times, doesn't that sound odd.

    8. He never gave a press conference or his word: The Two previous retirement announcements, he declared it live on television. Adding to this fact, he never told Childress or any of his teammates or friends that He's retiring. Just some unofficial text message to the Media.

   9. No Video or tangible evidence. I don't see anybody confirming this announcement.

    10. Brett is Unpredictable: We will never know until T-jack steps onto the field under center vs the Saints in the 1st regular season game of the year.
