It's Time To Sit Farve

Here we are just a few hours before the decision is made. Will he play or will he sit? I don't see where there is any decision to be made, the man has broken bones in his foot or ankle and can hardly walk. If you don't sit him this week we will have to go through this thing again next week.

Brett Farve has played in a kazillion straight games the longest in NFL history. I certainly consider Jim Marshall's streak of 268 games as a much more historic record over a quarterback who may get hit five times in a game. Marshall played 60 plays each game for 268 straight games and butted heads with the tackle across the line from him on every one. To me that is the record of value.

Brett Farve wants to play because this is such an important games for the Vikings who sit 2-5 on the season. If they were 5-2 it would be important too. The reason among other things they sit 2-5 is the poor quarterback play he has given them.

Farve is ranked 30th out of 32 in quarterback ratings. He has only thrown 7 touchdown passes but has thrown to the wrong team 10 times.

Any team that uses the excuse the 30th out of 32 quarterbacks gives us the best chance to win had better get themselves a better backup quarterback or a better coach who needs to finally say. Sit down Brett.

Tavaris Jackson who is the backup in Minnesota was 8-8 as the starter in 2008. Are you going to tell me an 8-8 quarterback is not better than what you have now?

I think Brad Childress is down at the bottom of the list when you start talking about good coaches. He doesn't have the excuse that Wade Phillips has as he is just the guy on the field directing traffic while Jerry Jones thinks he is the coach.

I have grown very tire of all this Brett Farve talk this year and will be glad when it is over. He has become about as annoying as all the political adds on tv. Thank God that ends this week. When will the Brett Farve saga finally be over.
