The storied QB, whose career began in Atlanta, whose name was made in Green Bay and whose farce has played out in the media spotlight will definitely step-down following what will be his twentieth season playing at the highest level.
Favre’s return bodes well for the Vikes who, without him, were looking at either Sage Rosenthals of Tavaris Jackson to start in his place. Rosenthals in particular has been impressive when called upon and Jackson occasionally phenomenal, though occasionally phenomenally bad. With either man in charge, the Vikings go from being one of the favourites to win the Superbowl they should’ve picked-up last year, to a good, but middling team.
Favre’s presence forces opponents to think carefully about the packages they show. His experience is unrivalled and his boyish recklessness, now tempered with a maturity quite uncharacteristic of the man in his heyday, has seen him become a more potent weapon than ever.
Let’s hope young Percy Harvin can get his migraines under control, the entire D-line stays off Star Caps (performance enhancers) and possibly the greatest running back in the game right now, Adrian ‘All day’ Peterson, finds form and gets him fumbling issues under control.
Prediction? Well, this team’s got it all with pro Bowl talent all over the field. Superbowl or bust, boys, Superbowl or bust…
