Wasn't Frerotte their starter for a good part of the season? I think he only lost his job because of injury.
Not only was Freotte their starter, he was 8-3 in 11 games. Tavaris Jackson had a good game against the Cardinals, so Childress decided to go with Jackson for the playoffs becuase of a "gut feeling." Literally. That's what he said. A "gut feeling."
This was a horrible mistake by Childress IMO.

Favre is done, period. He's the last thing that anyone wants to see anymore. He needs to go sell used tires or something. I say sack Keith Obberman and bring in Favre on NBC. I can't stand Keith. Let Favre beat a mud hole in his butt and march it dry.

Outside of Detroit, is there a worse starting QB than Tavaris? If he is Minnesota's starter next year, Minnesota will NOT be returning to the playoffs.
What team would swap their current starter for Jackson?
Then Minnesota will be happy to get Mike Vick. I'm tired of Favre, I dont care if he falls off the earth and die, and futher more, all you who think Tarvis is the worst ever, really, Schuler, Leaf, ect. Shit he has more heart than our on QB do, at least he tries.

Farve is a selfish diva who should be forced to retire. There is no reason for a guy that's been playing since 91 to lead the league in INT's. The Jets should just try and get a veteran free agent who will take care of the ball.

But wouldn't New York have to release him since he's still under contract? That seems extremely unlikely given that they had to give up picks to get him. Moreover, trading him is out since the terms of the original trade with Green Bay explicitly forbid a second trade to Minnesota.
I think that's where it makes the most sense for him to go and is where he wanted to go all along, but I just don't see how it's possible.
Was that only in the first year... or the whole contract?

Tavaris is pretty bad, the Vikes need to make a move in the offseason to get a quality QB in there.
Bid on Cassell maybe?

Amen to that. He has kept his "diva-ness" hidden quite well until the past 2 years. It is apparent he is all about himself. It doesn't hurt to have ESPN gush about you 24-7 to keep your cred though. He is a big baby.

I was assuming the whole contract although I don't know that for sure.

I knew a Farve thread was coming. Farve is done. His body is done. His arm is done.
Uhh... he still has that other arm to work with and I'll put money on Brett throwing lefty over any other QB in the league!!!

I'd rather have Favre on my roster than scum bags brothers Vick.
