The Vikings are going to be pretty good next year anyway, and an upgrade to Pennington from Tavaris wouldn't hurt. The running game is very good, and while Peterson is pretty sick, a large part of it is a function of the offensive line (Chester Taylor was over 5 yards per carry when he played).

Favre was the best quarterback on the Packers roster, and they're probably a .500 team at best this year. Hopefully the Green Bay fans aren't too tough on Rodgers, because he's been put in one heck of a position, especially if Favre puts up good numbers with the Jets.

yeah...I was referring to the Jets (sorry 'bout that)

Well remember Rodgers had that lil' outburst earlier this year...so....hmmm we will see how that plays out this year.

remember this?

I'm more willing to give guys, especially younger players, a free pass on what they say to the media, especially with the spot Rodgers is in. Most of these guys get a free pass from the media when they're in college, so when someone starts asking them difficult questions, it can be tough not to spout off.

He'll learn to start speaking in media-friendly soundbites soon enough...

"Whatever's best for the team..."

"I'm just happy to be here."

"We did some good things out there..."

"It was really a team effort out there today."
