Well, it’s apparently official:
I wouldn’t call myself a Favre-hater, but I didn’t want to see him wearing the purple. Now that this is no longer a question, I’ll have to re-arrange my thoughts . . . I hope that this season does work out the way Coach Childress and the owners hope it will (that is, with a Superbowl win in 2010).
Update: Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson try to avoid saying anything newsworthy to the media. Hard to blame them . . . they’ve each just had their best chance for professional success kicked out from underneath them. I’m sure each is thinking “it’s only a one-year deal . . .”
Of course, there’s the other aspect: most NFL teams only carry three quarterbacks into the regular season — who’ll be the odd man out? Rosenfels played well in the pre-season opener, and was brought in for a 4th round draft choice. Jackson was a 2nd round pick, but still hasn’t shown that he’s able to be consistent. Booty is still the total unknown. Who will be given their walking papers?
