Perfect Timing For Favre, Vikings

Finally! The Brett Favre will he or will he not return to the NFL melodrama is over! I'm so happy it's over because I was getting annoyed with that being the topic for the first 10 minutes, the middle 10 minutes, and the final 10 minutes of almost every sports show. However, I'm not the only one who should be a happy camper, Minnesota Vikings fans should be as well. Remember, you heard it hear first; the Minnesota Vikings will make it to the Super Bowl this season! The Vikings were already a contender, and the Brett Favre signing put the icing on the cake. I know there are lots of skeptics who are worried about his age and the condition of his right arm, but Favre will be fine. This is a guy who has played in nearly 300 consecutive NFL games. If nothing else the guy has proven he's a warrior.

The best thing about this whole ordeal for the Vikings is the timing couldn't be better for them and Favre to unite. This team is tailor made for Favre at this point of his career. The Vikings already posed the league's stingiest defense and the league's most dominant running back in Adrian Peterson(add Chester Taylor and they have the league's best running back duo), and an offensive line that is rock solid. In other words what I'm saying is that Brett Favre doesn't have to be the Brett Favre he was in Green Bay where he was the focal point and a better than good game from him was imperative for a Packers win. All Favre has to do is manage the game and not turn the ball over. Of course he's gonna be asked to make a play or two during the game , after all he is Brett Favre, but the Vikings won't be solely dependent on his right arm to win games. As far as his health is concerned, the shoulder should hold up just fine. Favre won't be slinging the ball around the Metrodome 40-50 times a game which will limit wear and tear on his shoulder and limit his being in the middle of quarterback hungry pass rushers. So there you have it, history does repeat itself. I see this story unfolding similar to that of John Elway and the Denver Broncos where the legendary QB in the last act of his career gets a great supporting cast and gets the prize that has eluded him for much of his career. I know Favre has won a Super Bowl before, but that was very early in his career. In fact his last and only other Super Bowl appearance was a loss to Elway and the Broncos. He will change that this season!
