07:41 AM ET 08.04 | The Twin Cities, not surprisingly, buzzed with Brett Favre news yesterday. If the reports -- Tuesday's reports, anyway -- that Brett Favre plans to retire from the Vikings turn out to be fact, the team's best option to get a starting quarterback, at this juncture, would seem to be Kerry Collins. Collins is a high-priced ($5.5 million salary this season) 37-year-old competing with Chris Simms to back up Vince Young with the Tennessee Titans. Collins would seem to be an upgrade over current Vikings backups Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels. Collins probably could be had for a midround 2011 draft pick.

They should've traded for McNabb instead of putting all their eggs in grandpa's basket....

Good one, Chemist. QBs under 30 need not apply.

If you want to QB the Vikings all you need are an AARP card and a dream.

Let them get Russel, I hears he's available, and he's probably as trustworthy as BF.

Not only is he over the hill, he may be at the bottom.

Funny, we can get rid of computer viruses fairly efficiently nowadays yet this place can't get rid of parasites like you, you quadruple moron. I hope the basement where you live gets flooded with you in it.

Kerry can still bring it so good choice if Vikings go this way.

The Vikes really played this poorly, huh? They've got 3 quarterbacks in camp, none of whom seem to be cutting it. Officially, Favre is still signed. Now they're looking at Collins? So, who gets cut? I don't think they want to carry 4, and now they have to think of 5?
Suppose they sign Collins, and then The Waffle King unretires? Then what?

Wow, how badly are the QB's in camp stinking the place up if Collins suddenly looks like an upgrade?

Guilty as charged. And as others have pointed out, young guys like JaMarcus Russell and Colt Brennan need a job so why not give 'em a call. They have a right to fail too.

They do have a right to fail, but hasn't JaCarcass abused that privilege enough already?

Thanks. We might have to raise that age requirement to 40 soon

Grandpa, you mean the one with the best QB rating in the league last year and arguably the league MVP?
