Tega Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 We all know that Favre does pass to his RBs. If I'm correct, last year, AP didn't receive too many passes though Chester Taylor did. If Favre is the QB do you think Chester Taylor will be included more in the passing game? If yes, do you see a little less production by AP?

tazinib1 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 They are not going to re-work the offense to fit Brett. If anything, AP gets more consideration with an old Brett handing him the ball in a game management role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) Peterson benefits more...Harvin is the X-Factor in this equation. If he is the playmaker that they are saying he is, they will need to find ways to get him the ball. They have 30 plays designed for him. It will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe Peterson's blocking improved where he can play in all downs. Edited June 22, 2009 by Outshined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Here is what Sports Illustrated’s Peter King had to say in his Monday Morning Quarterback column about how Favre has looked in workouts: “Favre is throwing the ball with the old zip, evidently. Bob Papa and I had the coach of the high school where Favre is throwing, Neville Barr, on our Sirius NFL Radio show the other day. Favre’s been throwing at Oak Grove (Miss.) High School, and Barr said: ‘He looks good. He said it was still a little uncomfortable, but I thought he threw the ball well. He had a lot of velocity and zip on it.’ It’s a matter of time, as we all know. Only a setback in his throwing will stop him from being at Vikings camp.” They are interviewing high school coaches rather than flying down there themselves? Favre is a good screen pass QB so I would expect AP would get the ball more in the flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I think Forte, Grant, and K Smith benefit the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I think Forte, Grant, and K Smith benefit the most Very true. However, as much as I, along with the rest of us hate hearing about Favre all the time, I have to say that with him being an active part of the game I feel that all is right in football. I wouldn't put Favre on the same level as Michael Jordan in their respective sports. However, when Jordan left basketball there was an emptiness in the game and I feel the same way about Favre and football. Whether he comes back and is successful or is just mediocre, I'll be glad he's back. Edited June 22, 2009 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He retires, comes back, retires, comes back... Its gotten old. Yeah itll be fun to watch him - it always has been. But when he leaves for good in 10 more years, I think people will finally breath a sigh of relief thinking "Glad thats finally over!".

MikesVikes Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I agree that of the two RBs, Adrian will benefit more. Without Favre, the offense is structured to minimize mistakes. A qb mistake by TJax would cost the Vikes the game. He's not going to recover it like Favre can. The Vikes don't go far from the game plan with TJax. Favre will throw the ball around a little bit more. He won't be required to hold back as much. There will be more improvising and that will include passing to Adrian. Any why wouldn't you want to pass the ball to him a little bit more. He did score on a 60 yard reception in the very first NFL game that he played. Does anyone think that Favre can't get the ball to him? I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre Going Down Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I believe Farve being with the Jets helped T Jones have a career year, with him gone Jones falls back to were he was the year before. The main reason was they respected the pass. Now with the Vikings everybody respects the run but with Favre now that will add a whole another dimension where I think AP will go off.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I agree that Harvin could be the real X factor that makes the Vikings offense that much more dangerous. Would also be nice if Sidney Rice could finally stay healthy and emerge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I think the obvious answer is AP, but he throws so many damn interceptions that it could very well be nobody... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard rumors that TJack would be the odd man out if they sign Favre. TJack is in the last year of his contract, so he would probably be gone next year anyway.

As a Packer fan, I sincerely hope Favre QBs all year for MIN rather than Rosenfels. I'd hope TJ would beat out both if I thought there were a chance in Hell of that happening...
