Favre joining Vikings may not be a stupid stuff idea

Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress finally landed his man at quarterback, Brett Favre, a future Hall of Famer who now enters the NFL for his 19th season. The former QB star of the Green Bay Packers for the last 17 years would now join his long-time nemesis, the Vikings. After shaking off the rust in a few preseason appearances, he's ready to play on Sunday's 2009 NFL campaign season opener matchup against the host Cleveland Browns.

Teaming up with All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson, the reigning NFL rushing champion. Favre now have a stronger surrounding cast than he did under the New York Jets last season. It is the perfect situation for him, having Peterson to carry most of the offensive load, allowing him to limit the use of his aging arm. Though still reliable, the stamina for his throw that he had before during his prime years with the Packers had now faded.

After ending a three-year playoff drought last season that won them the NFC North Division crown since 2000, the Vikings enters the season pegged as a Super Bowl contender after the acquisition of Favre, coupled with the greatness of Peterson and a stellar defense led by two mammoth tackles and a fiery defensive end. The embattled head coach hopes that this year will be the one that keeps him employed.

The Vikings are banking on Favre to lead them to a second straight division title despite playing in an extremely competitive NFC North. With their rival Packers, whom despise their former starting QB for doing a stupid stuff by joining the Vikings, and Bears whom expected to make some noise with their gunslinging quarterbacks and Detroit whom just starting to go to a rebuilding process. Minnesota hopes of making it out of the first round of the playoffs.
