Those variables make the comparison hard to quantify. Other than a few perennialy competive playoff-level teams (The Pats, Steelers, Eagles, Chargers) over the past five years or so, things see-saw fairly quickly.
It's possible for the Vikes to have a better offense with Favre but still not get in.

Well, I'm pretty positive Favre (if healthy) ain't getting pulled for either of those guys and I can't see either one saving the season.....so I'm unconcerned with that aspect of the wager.
What concerns me is having a stake in this dude's success but this post is damn near making me have to do so anyway so if you wanna do something light that I don't care much about losing (say, $50) then I'd be good with it.
