I certainly wouldnt want Favre under center here as we are not just a "QB away" from being a contender, but he could be appealing to the Vikings. I'm not too familiar with the Vikings QB situation, but they are a team that really only needs a QB. Jackson is doo-doo. Sage may be better, but not by much. An argument could be made that an effective Favre could put them over the top. personally, i think Favres body is done, even if his mind is not.

Many Skins fans scream about the OL. If I were a Vikes fan, I would be up in arms about their utter lack of ability to acquire a decent QB. It's a need which has stared them in the face for several years now. Why weren't the Vikes at the center of all of that Sanchez controversy?
