Washington Post: Did Favre Make The Right Decision?

I prefer to watch highlights of the NFC Championship to get me in the mood!

some take substancially more risk than others and, in that context, “he knows the risks he is taking by coming back.”
Jabooty’s point is a valid one; yours is irrelevant.

I would completely disagree with the point that the Vikings have better luck in the draft. The Packers have consistently gotten more starters from the draft than the Vikings. The Packers also do a better job of getting talent in the later rounds and developing it than the Vikings do.

If you look at what the Vikings FO has done over the last five years with the draft you see a trend. They get a one or two very talented players in the first two rounds, and that’s basically it. After those rounds are done they have about 3 key contributors from rounds 3-7 in five years. I wouldn’t call that good drafting, I would call that above average drafting.

First and second round picks are important to be sure, but really it’s rounds 3-7 that build a solid team. The more consistently a team can hit in this area and develop the talent found there into key contributors the more likely the team is able to produce a winner year in and year out. The more likely the team is to find replacements when players move on, which is the norm in the NFL. The more manageable the cap/$$$ spent in players will be. Also the less risk you have if you get a first round pick wrong.

That’s given us a chance to catch up with guys like Bulaga and Burnett.

Abd Neal. Just wait and see. :)

The media plays a part… But seriously can Childress really have ANY credibility left?! I mean even Jimmie Johnson said he wouldn’t have allowed any of the Favre bull that CHildress is. Johnson said he would have told Favre that he would make some training camp concessions that Johnson decided on, but that Favre would have had to show up to training camp on time, he wouldn’t have begged him last year and he wouldn’t have sent 3 players to beg Favre this year! Face it… No matter CHildress’s credibility is SHOT! He has NONE! Its only a matter of time before it implodes and destroys team unity!!! Sounds like its already starting…

I read an article on Yahoo that quoted Vikings players saying stuff like, “Favre doesn’t think Chilly knows about the offense.” One of the players was also told that Chilly lied to the media about sending three guys down there to Mississippi, and his quote was something like why the hell would he need to lie about that?

Team morale doesn’t seem to be to high over in Minnesota.

He needs it because with his history with migraines there might be something else going on up there. It could be very serious as well. Hope all is well.
