Favre in purple and gold?!?

Interesting article...

Favre could be a good fit for the Vikings


I don't know how I feel about this. Of course I know this has a very slim chance at best of happening, but let's assume it's a possibility for a minute.

Part of me would love it. Favre is a guy who can potentially make a good team great. He's getting old (...okay, he IS old), but he's not on the same level as other old guys like Brad Johnson and Vinnie Testeverde. He showed last year he's still capable of leading a team to great things.

Plus, the Vikings are going to have a killer defense this year, and they have the best running duo in the NFL hands down. Favre's only job would be to keep the threat of the pass alive... something his mere presence on the field would automatically do. I think the Vikings could potentially be the most dangerous team in football with Favre.

Favre would be great for T-Jack, as it would give him someone to learn from for a year or two.

He would also probably help A LOT in the Vikings bid for a new stadium.

But the other part of me just doesn't think it would feel right. It's Bret Favre, afterall. We're not supposed to cheer him!

Plus, can you teach an old dog new tricks? I know he learned a new system in the past couple years, but it was still Green Bay, still with a few familiar players, still with the same fans watching him, etc. Can he step into a new city, new team, new coaches, new system, and the only familiar target being our 4th string guy (at best)? He obviously won't be around long enough to really get the feel for our system, will he?

What do you guys think?
