There is always something happening in the sport's industry. I have always known this, but of course, Favre is on the headlines. The last thing I remember reading about him was on his family. His oldest daughter, Brittany, 21- years old, gave birth to a baby boy. Brett officially became a grandpa, outside of the the NFL, on April 6th. The media is not interested in that anymore, but on Favre's current physical condition.
Last spring, Favre had arm problems. Now his ankle?
He would need to have surgery on his ankle. The surgery is not major, but actually quite minor. The fact of the matter is another surgery. I am worried about my brettie. He has always been my favorite player, but when is enough a enough? He will push himself like he does every game.
This leaves the Vikings in a dilemma. There are two different scenarios that could play out. One, Favre returns and is the starting quarterback for the Vikings. They make it to the play- offs, become NFC Champions and possibly the Super Bowl? Or, no Favre at all.
Well, the Vikings really messed up the 2010 draft. I am not sure who was in charge of that, but all I know is hell I would not have done it that way. Why? Simple fact is, who was ever going to replace Favre?
Tarvaris Jackson?
Sage Rosenfels?
No way.
Why did the Vikings not draft a quarterback?
The Vikings gave their 30th draft pick to the Lions. Why? I still don't comprehend it.
Tim Tebrow? He did play with Percy Harvin, but again I am not sure if I would have wanted him either. He surely does not have Brett's intelligence and perspective on the field. Anyways, Tebrow was never available for them.
Who would have been available?
Jimmy Clausen is an arrogant player, but the kid does have talent. I am not sure if he would have been the best player for them. I do not see a resemblance of Brett's poise and respectful behavior.
Or, Colt McCoy. I would have chosen him. Instead, the 85th player drafted was McCoy by the Carolina Panthers. I think he is going to blossom as a player and become a great quarterback.
McCoy went to University of Texas where he was the starting quarterback for four years in a row. He has won more games than any other Division 1 quarterback in history. He has all the statistics. McCoy won quarterback of the year, offensive player of the year, outstanding football player of the year, and 10 other awards during his senior year.
If this isn't enough to have you like McCoy and question the Vikings? Take a look at this.
The Vikings decided to use the 100th pick, they got from the Lions, to draft Everson Griffen. A defensive end? I doubt he plays quarterback as well.
Why?
I am unsure what the Vikings were thinking, if they ever were, during the draft.
In support of Favre, he shouldn't worry about the status of the Vikings. I want him to choose what he wants. So what if the Vikings are left with two quarterbacks that will not lead the Vikings anywhere. As long as Brett is happy then I support him.
