What Favre did last season was nothing short of incredible. It's hard for me to say that, but it's true. Still, it is a new year, he is another year older, he has off the field problems, he is injured, and his coach is losing trust. If this was anyone else wouldn't he be on the bench?
The answer to be is an obvious YES. The Vikings aren't playing that bad of football. Sure they aren't getting the sacks they were getting last year, but their offense also isn't scoring nearly as much, so teams are passing less. The only thing that is costing them games is Brett Favre.
Last night is a great example. The Packers did not play well at all. Rodgers wasn't sharp, the Packers defense isn't anything special, and yet Favre goes out and throws 3 picks in the 2nd half.
Do you know what Favre's QB rating is right now?
68.
Just to give you some perspective, he is currently 30th in the NFL is QB rating. He has 3 more picks this year, then he did all of last year. He has only had 1 game when he has had more picks then touchdowns, and in that game he had 1 TD and 0 INTs.
So I ask once again. If this was anyone else would they be starting? Especially when you factor in that we found he isn't such an amazing person off the field either.
If I was the Vikings (wow I can't believe I am about to say this), I would start Tarvaris Jackson. Maybe not for the whole season, but at least until Favre can get himself healthy.
