Objectively speaking, the Brett Favre to the Vikings would be Bad News to the Bears and Packers.

It remains unclear, whether Brett Favre called Minnesota, or Minnesota called Brett Favre; however, the story starts it ends the same way. Let’s break down the who’s who, and the what’s and why’s for better analysis.

Who’s Who

Brett Favre: 

·         First ballot hall of fame QB. 

·         NFC North Opponent Destroyer

·         Pro Bowl player with the NY Jets

·         Forced out of his beloved home on the frozen tundra in WI.

·         Reportedly has not been working out

·         Reportedly did not have surgery to fix his torn bicep.

 

One only has to look as far back as last year’s week 10 and 11 games against the Patriots and Titans, that Brett Favre still had all of the tools necessary to be an iconic game changer and Sunday Champion. 

Had he not injured his bicep you could argue the NY Jets would have made the playoffs and more (8-3 before injury).

QB’s best friend:  Running Game, OL and good WR’s.

 

Minnesota

·         Best Running Back in the NFC (NFL).

·         Best OL/DL in NFC North.

·         Have not been able to solidify QB position.

·         Have to react to Jay Cutler Trade, Mathew Stafford daft.

·         Drafted Percy Harvin.

·         2008 NFC North Champions

·         OC: Darrel Bevell

·         Have a Monday night game against Packers in Week Four.
