Better off without Favre
While most Vikings fans and sports writers are salivating over the prospect of signing Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre to the purple’s roster, I remain adamant on this much: I don’t want him in purple.
Ten years ago? Sure. Five years ago? Maybe. Now? No way. At 39 and soon 40, Favre is over-the-hill, playing with an arm that’s not 100 percent, and is likely to be as interception-prone as ever. No thanks.
As a QB coach? Sure! But as a player, I just don’t see Favre as being an attractive option, even though our roster of signal-callers is certainly not NFL Hall of Fame-caliber.
Brett Favre spent a long career as one of the Vikings’ mortal enemies. He should go out of the game and into the Hall of Fame with that image still intact, no matter how many calls on cellular phones Coach Childress gets from 80-year-old season ticket holders who went to high school with Brett.
