85lobo Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I was shocked that he didn't come back. Me too. Of course, it wouldn't surprise me one little bit to see him sign during the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGR Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I like the guy i still think he can lead a team like the broncos-bills-browns somewhere like that! The vikings where not a good fit. I think it would have been a very good fit. The offensive system the Vikings run is something very similar to the one the Favre used to run with the Packers. Isn't one of the assistants (maybe the offensive coordinator, I would have to look it up to be sure) a former Packers' assistant? It would have been great to see Favre playing QB for a strong running team. Peterson would have benefitted from such a big upgrade at QB. I wanted Favre to play for the Vikings but since he decided to stay retired I hope he stays permanently retired. For good this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedCreek49 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Tarkenton, a corward on the run! What more can you say about a guy named Fran? The biggest difference between Favre and Tark, the 3 time loser, is after 18 years nobody wanted Tarkenton but somebody wanted Favre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Tarkenton, a corward on the run! What more can you say about a guy named Fran? Running coward? League MVP in 75. Sporting News' #59 player in the top 100 of all-time. I'm not a big Tarkenton fan, but that's pretty harsh for somebody who started the scrambling QB revolution.

RedCreek49 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 You're right and it was meant to be harsh. He is nothing now but a sad old man taking shots at someone who can still play when we hung around when he could not play. Fran was never too shy about himself especially after he retired. I believe he said he invented the scramble. Well...that is probably true for the most part. Other people before his time just simply ran forward with the ball when no one was open to or just threw the ball to the receiver who was open to start with but he was to slow, reactive wise, to find them in the first place. I do not think you will hear the truly great ones bash former player like he did while bragging on himself. Actually, Tark did not do too bad his last two years if you look at completion percentage. His rating though was 69.2 and 68.9 which was not very good. Also, in his last year in which he may have thrown more passes in any year he played and probably had about as many yards he threw 25 TD's and 32 Int's. He probably could have played another year. I find it interesting that Sir Francis said the game in not about the player, he should know. He refused to corporate with his coach, follow game plans or change his style of play to the point that he was traded to the Giants where he spent five year compiling a losing record. He made his way back to the Vikings after Coach Norm Van Brocklin retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
