[QUOTE=jefff;24589]I would have expected his productivity to go down without Brett there.
Teams would stack the line and beg Tarvaris or Sage to throw on them....
I still think Brett will play. This is just means to stroke his ego so more and give him attention. he has multiple meetings with coaches and owners and stuff and on Aug 23rd Brett decides after talking with his family that he'll play one more season....[/QUOTE]
I agree that Brett will probably play. This is a bet I like either way as a bounceback for Peterson, but I definitely think it would help AD's production if Favre didn't. Look at the yardage leaders last year and their QB's. Dedication to the run is much more important than whether the opponent stacks the line against weak QB's.
Chris Johnson 2006- Collins/Vince Young
Steven Jackson 1416- Bulger/Boler/Null
Thomas Jones 1402- Sanchize
MJDrew 1391- Garrard
5th place was Peterson who had his production drop off with Favre on board.
