Leading the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC appearance last season, starting quarterback Brett Favre has been expected by many Vikings fans to return for his 20th NFL season and help the Vikings win a Super Bowl championship in 2010 season. However, they may have overrated Favre’s role in Vikings’ win.
Indeed, Favre’s arrival made the Vikings much more threatening in competition for the championship in 2009 season, and he could be the only quarterback that was able to make it at age 40. If he retires, the Vikings would suddenly fall into a leaderless panic and started the 2010 season in awful way. As a 19-year veteran quarterback, Favre has been a master in passing game and always a great leading role. Without him, the Vikings will look more vulnerable with a weaken offense. However, Favre’s existence could also be a weak point of the Vikings. While his accuracy and leadership could help the team to score points, his aging body is also a target of opponent team’s defensive players. The New Orleans Saints defensive players just made that happen during the NFC game last season. As a result of the attack, Favre had to undergo a surgery to repair his ankle last Friday and needs more time to consider resuming his NFL career.
What if Favre does not make a return? Other quarterbacks in Vikings jerseys will have a competition for starting job and most likely Tarvaris Jackson will win back his starting job finally. After one year of learning from Favre and several years of preparation for starting job, he have some breakout performance during the regular season and keep the hope alive for Vikings to have another winning season.
