Favre Returns to Vikings:

Well, the guessing game is over and it looks like the
Minnesota Vikings are the class of the NFC again, all because of one player.
Vikings players Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson and Josh Bidwell took a flight
to Hattiesburg to get an answer to whether Brett Favre intends to play in
2010. They got their answer, as Favre returned to Minkato, Minnesota with
the three players. It looks like he will join the Vikings on August 18th for
his first practice.
It should be interesting to see how well Favre plays after having surgery on
his ankle during the off season. His ankle has taken time to heal after
surgery. The Vikings seemed to be urgent about whether Favre played or not
this upcoming season. Favre was always going to play, the flight and
argument made by the three teammates that took the flight to Mississippi
made the decision for Favre. The team automatically makes them the favorite
in the NFC, even with the defending Super Bowl champions. He was really
beaten up in the NFC Championship game, which led to the ankle surgery by
the famed Dr. James Andrews. Favre gives the Vikings the advantage of
throwing better than Tavaris Jackson. Jackson would've presumably been the
starter if Favre hadn't returned. The Vikings will always rely on Adrian
Peterson to run the ball, but Favre brings that gunslinger arm that can win
games. His stats from last year are ridiculous for some one his age. He
turns 41 in October.
He has most of the important passing records and his consecutive games
played record isn't going to be broken. Peyton Manning has an impressive
streak, but it's football, anything can happen, unless you're Brett Favre.
It should be interesting to see how Favre responds to playing in the
preseason. He doesn't need the extra work. He knows the offense and is
familiar with the wide receivers. He doesn't enjoy staying in college
dormitories and if he plays more than five series during the preseason
games, I would be shocked. He's not expected to play in the upcoming
preseason game against San Francisco, but he'll get some reps in the third
game. It's the game where the starters get reps for the regular season.
The Vikings were an eight or nine win team with Jackson behind center
because of the over dependence on the running game, now with Favre they'll
probably win 12 or 13 games. Peterson's missed some time during training
camp, but he'll be ready for the regular season. The Vikings only get better
because Favre will get another season with the receiving corps. He's going
to test the ankle health at practice with mobility drills. Favre can't walk
away from the game of football, not with the quality of Vikings. Favre might
win his second Super Bowl and it would be the end of his contract with
Minnesota. If he wins another one, will it be enough for Favre? Football
fans will see. I'm ready for the regular season.
