Fire Favre - Fix the Vikes

My unvarnished view:

• This season is lost. Yesterday's loss to the Bears finalized that!
  
• Favre clearly has physical issues. Time to release him
  
• Favre's performance yesterday - the three interceptions - confirm that he no longer performs at the level he once did and at the level to contribute to the team
  
• Favre's sexting scandal still hangs over him. I suspect that when the NFL completes its investigation he will be suspended for several games anyway
  
• Many are clamoring for Childress to be fired. I say hold on this
  
• Because the season is lost and because Favre is not in the future of the Vikes, let him go now and began to build for next year
  
• The sooner the better!

Kryptonite for a quarterback

No Tears This Time, Favre Says So Long

Excerpt:

Favre repeatedly said his torn right biceps tendon, which he refers to as a shoulder injury, provided the final push toward retirement, acting as kryptonite for a quarterback who started every regular-season game since early in the 1992 season.

As far back as training camp, Favre occasionally felt symptoms similar to those he felt after he tore his left biceps tendon a few years ago. After the Jets played at San Francisco on Dec. 7, Favre received a cortisone shot to alleviate the pain. It helped, but only briefly, and in Seattle two weeks later, Favre underthrew several open receivers running seam routes. If he felt fine physically, Favre said, he would have considered playing next season.

“I got my answer as the season progressed,” Favre said. “I finally can’t throw the ball like I once threw it.”

Comment: What a tribute - "started every regular-season game since early in the 1992 season". I'll miss him!

Jets: "bet their future on a Hail Mary pass"

Is Brett a Bad Bet for the Jets?

Excerpt:

And here's CBS's Phil Simms, former New York Giants quarterback and Super Bowl winner: "This is bigger than when Joe Montana left the Forty-Niners to go to Kansas City in 1993."

It would be if Brett Favre were as good as Joe Montana. Mr. Montana won four Super Bowls and was arguably the greatest quarterback in football history; Mr. Favre has won just one Super Bowl and is probably the most overrated, or at the very least overhyped, quarterback in the modern NFL.

Let's strip the Brett-to-the-Jets deal of the illusions the media has wrapped it in. What we have is a 4-12 team that has signed a 38-year-old quarterback who, though he made something of a comeback last season, hasn't otherwise finished in the top five of the league's passers since 2001. (In 2006 he was ranked 25th; in 2005, 31st.).

Comment: The Opinion Journal would not be a Brett Favre fan! I am. I can't wait to see what Brett can do in the AFC East.
