Brett Favre and the Three Teams that Need His Help

The Brett Favre saga is back in full force. 

The "will he, won't he" debate is back in full form, as the Favre watch returns to your local sports channel. 

Although his is an aged version of arguably the best QB in history, he could still be the finishing touch needed for some teams to make a strong playoff run.  We all know that the Vikings are on top of the list, so I am not even going to add them this time around.  These are the other three teams that need Brett Favre.

1.  The Niners

Yes, I agree.  The Niners are more than one player away from making a true run deep into the playoffs, but keep an open mind.  Are they really that far away?  Outside of the NFC East, the league could see major shake ups.  The Arizona Cardinals made a nice run to the Super Bowl and almost pulled off an incredible upset, but they are an injury to their version of Brett Favre from being down the drain.

Could Matty really lead this team?  I don't think so.  The Rams aren't as bad as the Lions, but they are not much better.  That leaves the Niners battling with the Seahawks for the division.  Last year the Seahawks struggled to find a receiver that could catch.  If they can't remedy their problems, the Niners could very well sneak up and win this division with an average overall record.  The Niners defense will be improved and their draft moves are going to help a long the way.  Tell me the thought of Favre throwing to a young Michael Crabtree doesn't make you wonder?  If Brett would take his tractor to California he could help this young team be the surprise of the season.

2.  Denver Broncos

Could the next coming of John Elway be Favre?  Imagine the crowd in Mile High as Favre throws deep down field, the ball hangs in the light air, and then drops into the arms of a wide open Brandon Marshall that walks into the end zone.  Combine this with the constant rushing game of the Broncs, and you have the making for one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL.  The recent departure of the whiny guy by the name of Jay has left a hole to fill.  Favre would fit right in throwing TDs to Marshall and Jabar Gaffney all day long.  This would take pressure off of the RB crew and help this team finally make they run they want.

3.  San Diego Chargers

The Bolts are the big surprise of my three.  The reason they are even on my list is my lack of confidence in Philip Rivers.  I don't see him as being on the same level as many of the other top notch QBs in the league.  They are simply better with Favre under center than Rivers at this point. 

Not too long ago, the Chargers had a huge buzz flowing all around San Diego, and they were favored to make a deep playoff run.  A coaching change, LT injuries, and the disappearance of Merriman have the Chargers in shambles, and are no longer the super power of the NFC.  They need a lighting bolt in the locker room.  They need some sort of change and the addition of Favre could be just what the doctor ordered.  Especially if Rivers starts off the season throwing pick after pick. Favre could finally get their monies worth of Chris Chambers and lead this team deep into the playoffs.

Sure, I know none of these are likely at all.  However, if Favre did make his way on any of these teams, they would instantly be better. He may only be a shell of himself at this point, but that is still better than half of the starting QBs in the league.  Hey Dallas fans, who would you rather have starting your first playoff game next year, Romo or Favre...that's what I thought, too.
