Purple People Eaters Eaten

Mark the Snoutbagger's words: Brett Pharv is OVER. He will enjoy one of the worst, if not the worst, years of his career this year. The Vikings dropped their season opener to the Saints in New Orleans, and the old gunslinger showed signs of what is to come this Fall. Expect a slew of forced passes up the middle and across the field that are intercepted. I predict that we will see more pick-sixes from Pharv this year than ever before. He's too old, he's too arrogant, and the speed of the NFL will finally expose these truths.

This will end up crippling Minnesota both now and later, as they have mortgaged their future by relying on Pharv at quarterback. They have no backup plan, and they soon will join the ranks of the mediocre, along with ne'er-do-wells such as Denver, Chicago, Carolina, and Arizona (that's right, I said it; the Cardinals are shitty. They were last year, and they even were two years ago when they somehow took a 9-7 record to the Superbowl).

This is also the season where Pharv's iron man record ends. He will suffer an injury that causes him to miss a start. He is a rag doll out there, and he's going to get smacked hard sometime soon.

I'll end with this thought: can we consider a NFL quarterback who has started virtually every game for 20 years one of the best ever if he only has one Superbowl ring? Hmm...
