What Brett Favre Means to the Green Bay Packers In 2009

I don't think there are 10 people that watch NFL football right now that think Brett Favre is not going to be playing for the Minnesota Vikings in 2009.

After the initial, "will he play, won't he play" circus that has become the norm in the NFL offseason, things look like Favre will be playing for the Vikings.

But now there is a catch.

Favre is now saying that he might not play due to the shoulder injury that he suffered playing for the Jets last year.

If, Brett decides not to play, he very well may be the Packers MVP for 2009.

It is being reported all over ESPN, and Internet sites everywhere, that many members of the Vikings are calling Brett, and texting Brett, wanting him to come play.

What does it mean, if he decides to call it a career?

First off, who could possibly be taking snaps for the Vikings next year?  Does it really matter?

With Jarrod Allen and Adrian Peterson begging Favre to join the team, will whoever is under center have any confidence?

Will the attitude of the team be, "well, I guess we can't win without Brett?"

If Favre decides to stay retired, he will have done more damage to the Vikings than he ever did while wearing the Green and Gold.

He disrupted the entire off season.  He filled their heads with doubt.  He has them questioning their own team.

If Favre is really done, the only thing the Packers could do to make things worse for the Vikings, would be to bring Favre to Green Bay when they play the Vikings.

And have him as their honorary captain.

He would already be their MVP!
