Tuesday, Vikings head coach Brad Childress spoke to the media about the health of troubled rookie wide receiver Percy Harvin. Oh, yeah. He also said something about adding a veteran quarterback to the roster. Some guy named Favre.
Wait, what?
Childress spoke quite outwardly that he would speak to the near-40 QB very soon about the possibility of returning to the NFC North as a Minnesota Viking.
Personally, I hope he does come back. He had enough last year to get through 12 games with great stats without a dominant run game. In Minnesota, Favre has a security blanket in Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. He would also have some receivers, guys like Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice, and rookie Percy Harvin.
So long as Brett stays healthy, we all know he can throw the ball. He reportedly needs a shoulder operation, but he would have to put that on the back burner if he wanted to make it to Vikings camp. Last year, he was way late to Jets’ camp, and it showed in a few early games. But so long as he gets to camp, learns the system and stays healthy, we all know what he can do with his ability and leadership. The Vikings need only a quarterback to compete for a Super Bowl, and when they get one, you can call the NFC North a 3 team race, pitting Green Bay, Chicago and Minnesota against each other for the division title.
I want to see number 4 out there this year. I think his never-say-die attitude and free-slinging playing style is great for the league.
It may also keep the abomination known as Tavaris Jackson off of the field for a while.
Now that the draft is over, we have to return to documenting stories like this one. But I don’t mind. I want to see Favre debacle the Packers as much as anyone would after they screwed him over.
