"Why did we throw there?" "Is AP ever going to hold onto the ball? "
One thing seems constant on everyones mind. "Well Favre come back? We need him back."
No one can argue against the fact that statistically he had an amazing season.
4202 Passing yards, 33 TD's, only 7 Int's
Favre is easily the most efficient passer the Vikings have seen since Dante Culpepper had close to the same numbers (3937 Passing yards 33 TD's and 16Int's) in 2000. A season that also resulted in a NFC Championship Loss. (The infamous 41-0 loss to the NY Giants)
Aside from the stats, Brett seemed to find a locker room and offensive scheme that he connected with. Anyone that has seen the human interest pieces that ESPN or Fox did throughout the season, showed how Brett has taken players like Harvin and Rice under his wing, elevating their game higher.
Very few signs exist as to Brett's plans on 2010, they are wishy washy at best. Former Packer teammate and Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell has said that Brett has had a lot of fun this season, and that he likely made up his mind to come back months ago. Though the words "Brett" and "made up his mined" would cause most to chuckle in skepticism.
I also saw on the ESPN crawler this morning that a Favre return is "very unlikely." Then again ESPN has gotten it wrong before. (See: Ed Warder).
The only thing we can all say with confidence is.....we don't know. Despite that, I'm still looking at this next season with cautious optimism.
