Someone Needs To Put Brett Favre And The Vikings Down

Brett Favre
This guy needs a wake-up call

Can someone send an S.O.S. to Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier and his staff? A telegraph of sorts on behalf of the grizzled grandpa himself, Brett Favre?

Something like this:

Leslie,

Your old-ass quarterback has done broked himself again. Really bad, this time. He can’t think straight, and that robotic arm you implanted in him in order to push him out there against Chicago hurts again. He lacks sense in protecting himself on the field and can’t seem to hang up the ‘ol cleats. Someone needs to.

Yours,

Anyone who doesn’t work for ESPN

Seriously though, someone needs to knock some sense into both Favre and the Vikings coaching staff.

Frazier said the team hasn’t ruled Favre out for the season, despite the concussion he suffered against the Bears on Monday night.

This, on top of strained shoulder that kept him out of the Giants’ game, breaking his 297-game iron man streak.

I’m sorry, but the old man is broken.

Vikings beat writer Judd Zulgad shared a similar sentiment:

“Vikings would be smart to put Favre on IR today. They need to remove any chance he plays again or he’s going to risk a major injury. I say that because watching him last night it’s clear he can’t protect himself and that’s not a safe situation for any player.”

Makes sense.

The now 41-year-old quarterback has never been good at protecting himself. He’s too old to continue that trend.

Besides, what are the Vikings even playing for at this point? Pride?

Love or hate him, Brett Favre doesn’t need to play for pride anymore.

Frazier, apparently, disagrees, saying Favre has “proven time and again that he’s capable of coming back and playing again.”

For a quarter, maybe less?

Frazier has more or less disregarded Favre’s concussion.

“When you look at the history, it’s rare guys are able to come back with a short week,” Frazier said. “You wouldn’t think it would be possible, but there are other things you wouldn’t think would be possible with Brett.”

This isn’t about saving face with Zygi Wilf for Frazier. He’s been one of the most-mentioned names among future NFL head coaches in the past two years, he shouldn’t have any problem finding a job.

The Vikings, perhaps with direction from above, play-hard-until-the-end mantra is all about winning a new stadium from the state Legislature.

Fortunately, they have a guy who doesn’t know when to say when.

In fact, he can’t say when, and he’s putting the rest of his life in jeopardy for a god awful team he mistakenly made a commitment to four months ago.

Enough already.

Leslie, cut your losses, put Favre on IR and send Joe Webb out for the final two massacres this season.

It’s time for Frazier and the Vikings to start looking to 2011.

    Thank you for writing this. As a Packer fan, like most everyone else here, I’m thankful for what Favre did for Green Bay for so many years, but still angry at how things ended with him in Green Bay.

    Like some others, I was somewhat entertained at Favre’s missing the start against the New York Giants, and the general malaise which this year has brought to not just the Minnesota Vikings organization, but to him as well.

    But now–after the concussion in the Chicago Bears game that he frankly shouldn’t have started anyway–there isn’t any entertainment. There certainly isn’t any joy. It’s just sad. Most of us wanted his career to end with a thud, but this is just getting sad and a little disconcerting to his wellness as a fellow human being.

    As people who once supported him, and with people who now support him, we’re begging him: Please retire. Please don’t return. To the NFL: Please don’t ask him to return. Just let what’s left of his legend ride away.

    Brett Favre has come to his reality check , he knows that he’s finished now in the NFL , it was lousy tackling on the pass play that scored the Vikings touchdown by the bears , that’s the only reason Minnesota scored , …the defense gave them that !
    Favre thinks in his mind that he can still play , hell we all do as players but soon realize that Father Time has passed us by and all we have to talk about is those Glory Days ! ….Favre knows it now , what a pathetic way to end his career , …instead of going out last year as runner-up he chose to bank his career on his aging talents and he ended up bankrupt !

    The Vikings deserve everything they are getting right now. They’ve made their bed, let them sleep in it.

    Apparently, Frazier has learned absolutely nothing from his predecessor. Also, I don’t know how this guy gets any consideration as a head coach, he’s a terrible defensive coordinator. Throughout his entire Vikings run, he’s run that vanilla cover 2 scheme and it’s worked because of great pressure from the front four. But now that the Williams’ can’t take steroids and Jared Allen has proven to be an overrated cock smoker, teams are tearing his defense apart. Has he made adjustments to compensate for this? No.
