Vikings locker room divided on Favre?

[Tailback U]

favre's run down field to help block for his receivers a few times this season and as recently as just a couple weeks ago.

the situations are exactly the same - favre is putting himself at risk by blocking or tackling.

there's no difference.

and quarterbacks are definitely obligated to make tackles when they have a chance to save a touchdown.

what kind of football did you grow up playing, two hand touch?

i don't care what sissy girlmen like you think, if i'm the quarterback of my team and i have a chance to save a touchdown after throwing an interception, i am doing everything in my power to make that tackle.

sorry tailback but I can assure my points are exactly how basically every team in the league thinks about putting the QB at risk. They have absolutely no problem nor do they blame Favre for anything. Again , no QB in the league is obligated to tackle. They are not trained for it and its too risky.

you're not getting it. favre's effort has nothing to do with the team's expectations of him, only the expectations that he has of himself.

the vikings or people like you may not hold favre accountable for his embarrassing effort on that play and i can understand that. but he should hold himself accounting because he is a football player, a teammate, and a leader.

i have seen hundreds of QB's make tackles on defenders after throwing an interception. did they have to? no, of course not, but they wanted to. that's my point.

[theMINI]

Favre is the fucking man.

and because Favre is such an intelligent leader, he made sure he was healthy for the long run instead of doing something stupid and messing up his shoulder or ribs or arm etc.

Sorry ram29jackson but you are wrong, true leaders don't get hurt.

[Primetime]

Sorry ram29jackson but you are wrong, true leaders don't get hurt.

You're right. Tom Brady isn't a true leader.
