Update: Favre Returns (Again); Signs with Vikings

[MTK]

A couple of things.

#1 - I hate the Favre drama just as much as anyone, but if I'm a Vikes fan I love this move. Rosenfels and Jackson are both unproven scrubs and regardless of who won the job between these two the Vikes would have been saddled with mediocre QB play all year.

#2 - There is a big difference between Favre going to the Jets last year and going to the Vikes this year. With the Vikes he is very familiar with their offensive schemes and terminology, the learning curve will be little to none as compared to last year where he was in a completely different offense.

#3 - I don't buy that this is bad for team chemistry. I think there are plenty of guys in that locker room that were pulling for this move and knew all along it was eventually going to happen. I doubt that anyone in that locker room is truly surprised today.

#4 - Regardless of his late season struggles which were more due to injury than anything else last year, the guy can still get it done and at a higher level than the likes of Rosenfels and Jackson.

#5 - Thank god this doesn't involve the Redskins. Was it Florio that floated the retarded Favre to the Redskins rumor?
