if it works, i'll be happy for the Vikes cuz i like the Vikes. i just couldn't have drawn up a screwier set of characters, moves and rationales to meet the stated goal of 'steadying the offense'.

you might be right. favre might be done too- he's said it himself, and the team went out of their way to beg him to test it NOT in training camp, but on the 2009 season. helluva gamble- should've rolled the dice on Cutler if they truly believed their QBs suck that badly...
