Favre has a stress fracture and is in a walking boot

Re: Lord Favre has a fractured ankle

The last time we played Favre he didn't finish the game and Brady threw for 4 TDs against the Packers. I expect similar results.

Re: Lord Favre has a fractured ankle

Can't see how he can take the field with a broken ankle...but with Brett, you never know....

Maybe he'll load up on painkillers :rocker:

Its a stress fracture, not a clean break, he could still hobble around with enough Hydrocodone

Crap.

Jackson is a mobile Quarterback who throws a nice deep ball. Not saying he is great, or even good, for that matter, but I think he is more dangerous than Favre at this point.

Jackson is terrible. Either way, the Vikings are at a pretty large disadvantage on offense.

He might be happier without Favre.

On a side note, he seemed pretty unhappy during the game with some of the coaching decisions. I expect that will be a huge adjustment for him.

Wow. What a huge surprise. Randy disagreeing with the offensive game plan.....

Re: Lord Favre has a fractured ankle

I'm torn on whether this is a good or bad thing. Favre played like crap last night and still had a chance to win the game in the end.

TJ is a moble QB and the Pat's always seem to have a tough time with mobile QBs.

In my heart, I want to play and beat Favre (Still holding a grudge from the '96 SB).

I think they could go to A Peterson much more this week which could spell trouble. They haven't been using nearly as much as maybe they should or could.

A 42 year old, hobbled QB spaced out on drugs in an NFL game....Should the NFL put the "Viewer Discretion Advised" warning on this one???

Re: Lord Favre has a fractured ankle

Probably going to be a lot of misinformation coming from the Vikings this week. Not only will it keep the Patriots guessing, but I suppose if there is a suspension in the near future from the NFL for the "sexting," you want to give the appearance that he may be ready to play. Gooddell might give 2 games instead of 1, or something like that, if he thought Favre was going to miss a game anyway.

That guy is a physical beast.....fun to watch......when he's playing someone other than the Patriots...

Re: Lord Favre has a fractured ankle

Absolutely. Jackson is no slouch. All things considered, probably a better QB than Favre is[was] right now.

As others have said, last night's pathetic performance, Chilly's throwing him under the bus, and a gimpy ankle all added up to a scenario where we might have put Favre under for good.

His act has worn thin with the Vikes and Tavaris is going to be a breath of fresh air and a spark for them IMO.

Career numbers of note for Jackson:

58.7 completion percentage, 21 TDs, 18 INTs, 6.7 YPA, 77.9 QB rating.

Looks like a slouch to me.

He has been hobbled and drugged out most of his career. Hasn't stopped the NFL from making him their poster boy.

Can't believe people think he won't play.

It's Favre. He'll be out there. His ego wouldn't allow him to sit.

Re: Lord Favre has a fractured ankle

Now that Favre is damaged,Randy Moss has asked for a trade

Yeah, I don't know when Jackson became a good QB. If he was so good, the Vikes wouldn't have bent over backwards to get Favre and the convince him to come back or trade for Sage Rosenfel.

Re: Lord Favre has a fractured ankle

I think the team will play Hard for Jackson though.

He played when his father died, he's played hurt before. They only way he doesn't is suspension or retirement. Mr. Overrated will 100% be under center Sunday at Gillette. He's tougher than a nickle steak. Whether or not he finishes is another matter.
