The bold stood out for me.

I dont know what inextricably means, but he's right about Chad picking up the offense. I also think Favre will find out how much Driver, Jennings, Jones> Cotchery, Coles, Smith

I think that at some point, Father Time will catch up to Favre...will it be this season ?? Don't know...has he shown any signs of losing his edge...no...but at 39 yrs old how much longer can he do it...
Pennington can only be hampered by injury at this point. Will that happen this season...don't know...
As to learning the systems, Favre has a bit of a disadvantage coming from a full blown WCO to the jests..but that shouldn't hamper him too much...the only thing I can say is that, in the past, with much less talented players involved, the transistion from the WCO to the vertical offense has been difficult for those making that transition...How that really affects Favre, we'll just have to wait and see...
Pennington is a student of the game, more so than Favre so his transition will take less time and less will be expected of him as well. No one see this team even getting to the playoffs, but with Favre and the big time FA spending that the Jests did...a lot is expected of them...that could make it more difficult for Favre... -

I don't think he's injury prone at all like many others do. I think he's had some bad luck though.
I will tell you this though, it ain't much fun watchin games without the deepball threat -
I would disagree that Coles and Cotchery are not comparable to Driver and Jennings.
