quote:Can Favre overcome that at the line and change CKA's decision? That's what I am banking on....... Favre is not stupid. 18 years in the league at the same position will do that to a person....
This is the fatal flaw in the "TOG knows what he's doing" argument
His physical skills have diminished and he's actually become quite predictable as a result. There used to be a time when teams had difficulty gameplanning the guy because of what he could do on the move and when his arm strength literally tilted the field in his favor. Not anymore.
Brent's problem is that he still thinks and acts like he's in his prime but he can't back it up anymore at 40. That's not a crime- it happens to all guys that get older. By the same token, teams know this and they aren't scared of the guy anymore either.
What Minnesota fans fail to realize is that while Peterson might be the best running back in the league it always boils down to Favre being Favre. What I mean by that is that he always has to be the center of attention, and that is his achilles heal on the football field. Sure, he may pull a play or two out of his proverbial ass, but more often than not he's not going to win the game for you when the money is on the line. That day has come and gone, and Vikings fans will soon figure that out for themselves.
