Brett Favre Vs. Tarvaris Jackson: Do the Math (Satire)

The Minnesota Vikings have been in talks with Brett Favre, former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback, to take over the reigns of their offense. But the question remains: Would the 38-year-old gunslinger really be an improvement over current QB Tarvaris Jackson?

As any student of the game will tell you, there is only one plausible way to find out.

Do the math.

So, let's get to it.

If you add it all up, you can come to only one conclusion. There is only one person perfectly suited to be the Minnesota Vikings quarterback for the upcoming 2009 season. 

And that person is Sage Rosenfels.
