Brett Favre is 5-0 for the first time in his career, so I was curious on where he ranked in Viking history for season by a QB. He ranks 56th and is climbing fast the last two games. But what I noticed is that TJack (Tavaris Jackson) from 2008 was ranked 57. So, just looking at the stats from pro-football-reference.com through five games there are some remarkable similarities. Click the title to go to the page I was reading, if you can read stats!! Both started 5 games Both had 149 attempt, Favre completed 15 more of those. Both had about the same yardage, so TJack got more bang for his completion 1069 vs 1056.

The first two weeks of the season is when you learn how to win your league. Week three is critical, hopefully you have won at least one game by now. if not the season is not over. 20 years ago, I lost my first three, and then went on to win a playoff spot and eventually win the Superbowl. that was the last strike year, it almost broke out newly formed league. What happens is that the first two weeks tell you where your Draft strategy went wrong, and where you are right. Lots of the other guys are going to be telling you that you need to try and make a trade, try and get someone you think will be doing good the second half of the season (ONLY TWO GAMES? WHATS all the talk about 2nd half). and make a low ball offer to get said goods for cheap! Sound wonderful, if you think you got someone in your league that will go for that fine, do it. The leagues that I play in are probably more realistic, in that nobody is going to trade Larry Johnson, Steven Jackson, for some wide receiver that you ...

I like this guy. Reports are that he will be special. But how do you sign Chester Taylor to a big money contract just last year and not take Brady Quinn? Peterson should be a great player, but can they win with TJack at QBack?
