Vikings quarterbacks try not to focus on Favre issues

Following the Minnesota Vikings Wednesday practice, the team’s quarterbacks were surrounded with reporters. While some of the questions were about their own situations, many others were about their starter in 2009 season, Brett Favre. The quarterbacks must have been told what to say about the 40-year-old Favre and they tried to give reporters impression that they are currently only focusing on workouts in preparation for new season.

"I'm just trying to get better and not worrying about who's not out here," quarterback Tarvaris Jackson told reporters. "I've been going through this the last three to four years now. I'm kind of used to this approach, just worrying about myself, trying to get better. That's all I can do."

Other quarterbacks like Sage Rosenfels and rookies Joe Webb and R.J. Archer said even less than Jackson, insisting that they were just there to work out and improve their own performance, no matter who was going to be the leading role in what number of Vikings jersey. However, what they said obviously was not enough to end discussion and speculation on Favre’s decision, as reports came out the next day still focused on Favre and related the Vikings other quarterbacks’ confidence in new season to the possible return of Favre.
