Favre in purple and gold would be a big mistake
With the recent speculation on whether Brett Favre will be making a return to the NFL, one question has rose to the forefront. Would it be a good move for Favre to trade in his Packer green for Viking purple? It may go against any true Viking fan’s belief, but would the 38-year-old gunslinger be the missing ingredient for a purple and gold Super Bowl? It’s a simple answer: No! With the strides the Vikings have made and the confidence head coach Brad Childress has instilled in Tarvaris Jackson, adding No. 4 to the roster would be a regression to the franchise. There is no doubt Favre is a Hall of Famer, but over the last few years his success had a lot to do with his surrounding cast and the chemistry he had developed with the younger talent.
