Brett Favre 2010 (1 Viewer)

[Louisville Slugger]

Now that all the laughing at Favre for un-retiring for the 100th time has died down what do you expect out of him in the 2010 season?

If somebody had told me a year ago that Favre would have had one of the greatest statistical years of his career in 2010 at the age of 40 I would have suggested a good doctor for them to go and see. 40 year old guys are not supposed to put up 4,202 yds 33 td's and only 7 int's and be the #3 fantasy qb in the NFL.

That said Favre is a year older and his best wr is out for at least half the season. With everything Favre is facing is their any chance he approaches his 2009 numbers?

Assuming that Favre can stay healthy I don't think that 25-27 td's, 3,800 yards and a top ten finish at qb is out of the question.

Any thoughts?

 

[jurrassic]

I wouldn't bet against him, but I'm not betting on him.

 

[redskins08]

My logic is as follows: it depends on how healthy Brett is. Brett knows better than anyone how healthy he is. And Brett would not have come back if he didn't think that he would play very well.

Of course anything can happen but i think he is going to be fine and have him way higher than the "experts". Minn was by far the best team in the NFL last year.

I agree with you. To me the big question is Sidney Rice. Losing Rice could really hurt Favre. Let's not forget that Favre was great last year. The man was money in the bank. Has he lost it all over the last few months? I think Favre has a very solid season in 2010.

Yeah, I drafted him as my #1 before Rice's injury. People have very extreme and illogical reactions to him. I think he will be Top 8 again.

Their is no question, loosing Sid for what could be a significant portion of the season is a major blow to the team. I still hold some faith in B-Twice, but he just doesn't have the talent that Sid has. Now this team is not without amazing weapons,(Percy has a year under his belt, Shiancoe is the real deal, BB is healthy, and AD is looking very dominant) but you just can not replace a Sidney Rice. Speaking of guys you can't just replace do not forget about the loss of Chester Taylor. He was just so valuable and good at doing a very complicated role, so I just can't see the same third down conversion rate. The line has been very shaky without Sullivan. Sullivan should be back soon, but it just further illustrates the extreme lack of quality depth on the o-line and the damage of loosing a great plug and play guy like Hicks was. Those are enough variables right there to expect some sort of regression.

Favre himself has lost his belly but gained 10 pounds. He's eating better and the team is really behind him 100%. Now I know some here may feel that his heart isn't in it, but once we got him off the tractor he is all in until it's over. That's just the type of guy he is and has always been.

My personal feeling is that this team will be more of what they wanted to be last year, leaning on AD and then having Brett make a few passes. However, defenses will still game plan to stop AD, so the opportunity for easy passes with a low turnover risk will be there for Favre.

 

[a_rackowski]

Sidney rice was just another guy before Brett. He has made players out of decent wrs for 18 years. He still has some left in the tank. It will all come down to the vikings o line. If they can give Favre time and make him comfortable back there,he has another very good season in store. top 15 for sure with the potential for top 6.

This. Sid Rice was a waiver week gem around week 3 of last season and just took off after Favre was able to exploit(read, TRUST) his height and amazing hands. This year is another year with different weapons, and while the loss of the newly emerged Sidney Rice is a crucial blow, it does not mean that there are no other playmakers on this squad that Brett can benefit from. Maybe its Harvin, Shiancoe or Berrian; hell maybe Lewis comes from the clouds and surprises people. Whatever it is, the line is good and there is a stud back carrying the ball right behind him. Favre knows how to succeed in a situation like this and I fully expect him to fall in the QB 8-10 range.

 

[Phantom Knight]

I don't have anything solid to base this on, but my gut feeling is that the "honeymoon in Minnesota" is over. I do not think that Favre will have a great season as he did last year. Something more like his season with the Jets is what I am expecting. Perhaps not a total tank at the end of the season, but enough clunkers mixed in there and there to drive an owner insane. I have him as my backup in one league and if he starts hot, I am trading him. If he doesn't, I am cutting him.

Why does everyone keep saying this about Farve? This is the least insightful assessment ever. Anyone who had a ridiculous, historic season last year is unlikely to do this same. He doesn't have to do as well as last year to be a great QB in fantasy.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

I've been killing myself about whether to keep favre or big Ben as my backup to cutler. The argument that "the honeymoon" in Minnesota is over and he comes crashing back down this year is legit. But the other side, he'll be great agin is just as valid. Only favre knows. Damn him.

Cutler is your #1 QB over Favre?

 

[Judge Smails]

Favre could surprise us again. Nothing scientific, but my gut just screams stay away this year. The loss of Rice hurts, the ankle is a question mark, the line appears to be thinner, the loss of Chester, etc all could hurt. And if this thing turns south I be it won't be pretty between Childress and Favre.

That being said - he's got an absolute stud RB to play action off of. So you never know.

Cutler is your #1 QB over Favre?

Yeah, that caught me eye too. The odd man out there for me Cutler. I'd move him before the wheels come off in Chicago. The O-linne can't protect him, QB's get hit a LOT in Matz's system, Cutler like to improvise and wing it, Martz HATES that, Cutler historically doesn't respond well to "tough love" from the coaching staff, Martz has always been about "HIS SYSTEM" and everybody has to confrom to that , ........."Danger, Will Robinson".Back on topic, if I was going into the season with Farve and Big Ben, as my QBBC, I'd feel ok about it. If you love Cutler, and are scared of BF, Trade BF because there WILL be interest in BF in redraft leagues. Too much upside there.

 

[Voice Of Reason]

HGH is a helluva drug.

Farve played extremely well last year. I don't see why he'd lack the ability to do so again. His stats may not shake out similarly due to normal variance and the fact that the Vikes were probably pretty lucky last year (as any team whose records was as good as theirs likely is) but it doesn't mean that he isn't playing as well.

Cutler is your #1 QB over Favre?

well, yes im a homer, but the bears are terrible and will be losing in most games, which means airing it out. my league only has -1 for INT's. So cutler's upside is tremendous to me. sidenote, couple too many soda's at the auction draft and i ended up with too many qb's. oh well. Trying to trade one of them but in a 10 teamer its proving difficult, everyone thinks Favre is going to break a hip any minute now.

 

[War Eagle]

Let's see...

Well, Minnesota is still a superbowl worthy team.

Favre had his best season last year, and it wasn't because he got physically better, it's because he got mentally better.

He's playing in the same offensive system he's always played in, AGAIN.

There's even more talent in the backfield.

They lose one WR, but still have the most atlented one (P.Harvin).

Let's not forget how solid Berrian is. He was going to be the #1 WR until injuries slowed him down, so Brett just threw to the next guy. Because that's what Brett does, he throws to whomever he gets open.

In Brett Favre's offense HE plays a large roll in getting WRs open, by looking off the defenders, pump fakes, etc.

YES, he CAN do it again. Maybe not to the turn of 33/7.....but 30/10 seems about right.

Health is always the X factor, but that's the same for EVERY player. Brett is an iron man, so I'd give him a better chance than most at staying healthy!

PS. The Vikings schedule is brutal to start the year, so don't go dropping Brett is its a bit of a slow start.

How was Minnesota "by far" the best team in the NFL last year?They had a pretty easy schedule (I know as the Packers did too), and finished with a worse record than the Saints (who, oh, by the way won the Super Bowl).So how again were they by far the best team last year?

 

[sho nuff]

[sho nuff]

Now...before a few of the usual suspects take my comments thus far as bashing Brett...Im not.

He should have another solid season. In both leagues I drafted him as my backup (and in one where I grabbed Kolb and Favre pretty late, he may end up my starter)...its just that Minny was not "by far" the best team in the league last year...and I would not say a rookie who has yet to see a regular season game is more talented than a vet like Taylor who played a very nice role in that backfield.

 

[Portis 26]

Way too much optimism here. He's on his last legs, he's hobbling around on an injured ankle, he hates the coach, he lost his best WR. I think the Vikings could be a trainwreck this year.

I hope they won't, because it would be kind of cool to see all these guys drinking in last chance saloon (not only Favre but both Williams on D-line) stagger to ultimate glory, but the ingredients for a real trainwreck are all there.

Sorry, the Vikings (and the Colts) were better than the Saints. Yes, a lesser team can beat a better team, any given sunday. happens all the time.

This is exactly what everyone said last year. That he was divisive, a distraction, a trainwreck.

It wasn't his age that bothered me last season...it was that in his previous 4 years he had 88 tds vs 84 interceptions. Going into last season, it was reasonable to think of him as a 3800 yard, 22 td a season qb. As of now, I'm considering 2009 to be the outlier and I expect something 4000 yards and 25 tds. Solid numbers, but not top 5 qb numbers.

I think some of this is overstated. Losing Rice hurts, and the ankle issue isn't a positive. The respect for the coach is a non-issue. It didn't affect anything last year, so why should it matter now? What is a bigger deal to me is that I think the Lions, Bears, and Packers are ALL better in 2010 than they were in 2009. I'm not predicting a trainwreck....Favre is still at least a very good qb (even with the likely regression from last season), they still have arguably the best rb in the NFL, and they still have a very good run defense. They were a playoff team with TJackson at qb...I don't see them being significantly worse now than they were in 2008. Now, last season probably was their best chance. The window was wide open for them, and they blew it with a bunch of turnovers in the NFC champtionship game. They will be good this year, but not as good. They will compete for the division and a wildcard spot, make the playoffs, but probably get knocked out in the wildcard or divisional round.

Let me put it this way. If you see some beautiful young woman canoodling with some gnarly old man, you might think "this is not going to end happily". Now, maybe 1 or 2 times out of 10 you might be wrong, but in general you would probably be right.

 

[Hartliner]

Acknowledging all points made on Favre. I feel that its his 20th season. He has such a huge legacy. If at any time just think how epic it would be if he won the Superbowl this year and then retired on top. There would be a movie a la much similar to "The Rookie" that takes off when he leaves the packers and goes on his journey of redemption. Also a cast call we must make would be for Dennis Quaid to play him. My point is I'm guessing on the movie-like happy ending for Favre this year because its destiny.

The Saints were better from start to finish during the regular season...thus, having home field advantage.That despite Minnesota having one of the easiest schedules in the league last year.In what way were the Vikings "by far" the better team last season?

 

[TWP]

Personally, wouldn't count on Favre this year. Wheels came off a bit down the stretch last year, ankle seems to be bothering him, no Rice, etc. Think the Vikings will rely more heavily on the run this year, and I think Favre will be less efficient with the fewer attempts he has. He made some miraculous plays last year that I just dont see happening again. He's always going to be the gunslinger, but I think you got a once-in-a-lifetime TD:INT ratio out of him last year. If he comes back to earth (or even into below-average territory) his fantasy production is going to seriously suffer. Especially with fewer attempts. I think Cutler > Favre this year is definitely the right call. Cutler has almost every one of these factors working in his favor: improving WRs, more (or at least the same high level of) attempts, historically bad TD:INT ratio which is likely to improve, etc.

Down what stretch? Not in the playoffs 01/03 NYG W 44-7 Yes 31 25 80.6 316 4 0 148.7 01/17 DAL W 34-3 Yes 24 15 62.5 234 4 0 134.4 01/24 @NO L 28-31 Yes 46 28 60.9 310 1 2 70.0 8 TDs and 0 INTs in the first two playoff games against the NYG and Dallas? The wheels looked on to me.

No list needed. I understand that all too well. I OBVIOUSLY do not think Gerhart is going to be one of those guys. I assumed that was implied by the fact that I believe him to be better than Chester. Gerhart is a beast. He will never be a #1, but he CAN be a Mike Allstott/Brandon Jacobs or better!!!

 

[SWC]

I predict a huge year for The Gunslinger from Down Under.

He'll be saying "That's not a touchdown pass -- THIS is a touchdown pass" to Aaron Rogers all year long. Take it to the bank!

I mean no disrespect, but you have the same misconceptions as most of the national media about Toby.The problem is that it isn't about talent as a runner. It's about who knows every nuance of protection on every play. Who can catch the ball and then being able to make enough moves to convert a third down. I think we were fifth in the NFL on third down conversion rate and we owed a lot of that to CT. The man was one of the very best at a very complicated niche role, and while Toby can be a talented receiver, it's hard for me to believe that he will be better then CT in that aspect and wont even come close to his protection skills.

There's always a transition period. And he's a rookie, so of course he's got to learn the schemes....You make a good point. Maybe they should have held Chester for one more year for this superbowl run. Let him have a ring too.

 

[True Faith]

Do not count out the addition of Camarillo as a big plus to help supplant Rice. The guy has caught 50 passes the the last two years in a rushing offense that didn't have a QB like Favre. A career year is called a career year for a reason. He prob won't match it, but if he stays healthy he will be good.

 

[ookook]

Favre's average for the last 3 years in this offense (last 2 in GB and last year in MIN) is about 4,150 yards, 27 TDs and 13 INTs.

I think that is a fair estimate for the season. It puts him about QB7, after Schaub and before Rivers.

I can see a case for Rivers or Cutler being about even with Favre right now, but would not take Flacco, Stafford, E. Manning, Kolb, or Smith in front of him.

BTW, I see Berrian and Shiancoe as the most clear benificiaries to teh Rice injury.

 

[meatwad1]

I don't have anything solid to base this on, but my gut feeling is that the "honeymoon in Minnesota" is over. I do not think that Favre will have a great season as he did last year. Something more like his season with the Jets is what I am expecting. Perhaps not a total tank at the end of the season, but enough clunkers mixed in there and there to drive an owner insane. I have him as my backup in one league and if he starts hot, I am trading him. If he doesn't, I am cutting him.

Why does everyone keep saying this about Farve? This is the least insightful assessment ever. Anyone who had a ridiculous, historic season last year is unlikely to do this same. He doesn't have to do as well as last year to be a great QB in fantasy.

One thing you have to understand about Favre is that he rides the emotional crest of the team in any given year and is awesome when the team is doing great. When things go bad though, he melts down and tries to do way too much. I have a feeling that many things are going to begin to go wrong staring on Thurs night.

My man. He's going to do a gigantic walkabout on the rest of the league. And when he throws an interception his defense is good enough to get the ball right back boomerang style. Take that to the bank brother!

not really..you're missing the point..Favre is a year older..he has an ankle held together by duct tape and wire, which equates to less mobility..in other words, if that O-line doesn't hold up Favre will get killed under center...

he lost his #1 WR, and you can bet you're life savings that Harvin will miss a boatload of games with his migrane headaches, so enter Berrian, an average WR, and Camarillo - an also-ran..

even if Favre lasts the entire 16 game schedule, he's unlikely to duplicate last year's stats, and without his man Rice, he'll try to force the ball into spaces where it shouldn't go, causing many more INTs.

he's more likely to become the Jets version of Favre rather than the 2009 version, and that's not good..

what you're missing on is the fact that many people believe he's reached the end of the trail, that without his mobility he's finished.

I don't have anything solid to base this on, but my gut feeling is that the "honeymoon in Minnesota" is over. I do not think that Favre will have a great season as he did last year. Something more like his season with the Jets is what I am expecting. Perhaps not a total tank at the end of the season, but enough clunkers mixed in there and there to drive an owner insane. I have him as my backup in one league and if he starts hot, I am trading him. If he doesn't, I am cutting him.

Why does everyone keep saying this about Farve? This is the least insightful assessment ever. Anyone who had a ridiculous, historic season last year is unlikely to do this same. He doesn't have to do as well as last year to be a great QB in fantasy.

not really..you're missing the point..Favre is a year older..he has an ankle held together by duct tape and wire, which equates to less mobility..in other words, if that O-line doesn't hold up Favre will get killed under center...

he lost his #1 WR, and you can bet you're life savings that Harvin will miss a boatload of games with his migrane headaches, so enter Berrian, an average WR, and Camarillo - an also-ran..

even if Favre lasts the entire 16 game schedule, he's unlikely to duplicate last year's stats, and without his man Rice, he'll try to force the ball into spaces where it shouldn't go, causing many more INTs.

he's more likely to become the Jets version of Favre rather than the 2009 version, and that's not good..

Are you in the GOP? LOLHarvin will miss a "Boatload" of games? Let's look at the FACTS...he missed ONE game last year. The Vikings and his medical team have found a way to prevent the migrains and he has attended every practice since the last episode.

Ankle held together by duct tape? It's called bone spurs and scar tissue. The procedure will actually give him MORE mobility in the ankle. Harmless to stability or mobility, it's just pain management.

The NYJ version of Favre played half the year with an injured shoulder. Just so happens he threw 2 TDs to 8 INTs in the final month due to that shoulder. His shoulder is healed (please see 2009 stats)

And just to remind everyone 285

So he throws a few less TDs and a few more INTs.....

Brett's 10 year average = 3800 26/16

Count me in for Brett to be his average, but not spectactular self in 2010

One streak you should all take note of is that MIN and Brett all have three initials. And so does MVP, baby. I predict that the Gunslinger from Down Under will be saying G'Day to Aaron Rodgers by the end of week 4 and will have the award wrapped up by week 7. Take it to the bank.

The misinformation and blacklash surrounding Brett Farve is insane and illogical.

The Old Crocodile is showing why he is the Gunslinger from Down Under tonight and why Drew Brees is a dingo.

Well enough to be a CAREER backup! (outside of 2006)Youth talent > Age and mediocrityADP & Gerhart > ADP & C.Taylor IMOIMO = In My Opinion

Do you want a list of "youth talent" that never amounted to even mediocrity in the NFL?IMO, I disagree that Gerhart brings to the table what Taylor did for the Vikings.

No list needed. I understand that all too well. I OBVIOUSLY do not think Gerhart is going to be one of those guys. I assumed that was implied by the fact that I believe him to be better than Chester. Gerhart is a beast. He will never be a #1, but he CAN be a Mike Allstott/Brandon Jacobs or better!!!

Doesn't he have to be active before he CAN be better than them?
