Why is Favre necessary for Vikings’ Super Bowl win?

Many people now believe that Brett Favre will return to the Minnesota Vikings to finish his NFL career with a 20th full season. I also believe that is very likely to happen in near future, but I just can’t help wondering, why is Brett Favre just so important to the Vikings and their plan for a Super Bowl winning season?

I read through a lot of articles about Favre and Vikings, and found that the belief of Favre leading Vikings to Super Bowl victory majorly came from people’s worship of the legendary quarterback. At age 40, what Favre can still do is nothing different from other 40-year-old man, but his very existence just can bring confidence back into our minds. We all believe that Favre was a greatest quarterback and the belief was solidified after Favre had his best season in 2009. The Vikings were so near to the Super Bowl with a starting quarterback in No. 4 Brett Favre jersey that their fans can’t help believing that the same quarterback could bring them the long-wanted Super Bowl championship as long as he is good health condition.

Then we came to the news of Favre’s surgery. According to reports, the surgery was had successfully and will allow Favre to move in larger range. That means Favre will be able to avoid attacks from opponent players with more smartness. What a exciting sign! Now I also believe that Favre will at least led the Vikings to a Super Bowl appearance in 2010 season.

Brett Favre insists surgery won’t determine playing status

The Minnesota Vikings pending starting quarterback Brett Favre finally confirmed that he did undergo a surgery to repair his left ankle, but still, he said that that was no indication of his returning to the NFL. Believing it or not, people found new passion to discuss about the 40-year-old grandpa.

Brett Favre has a habit to keep people guessing about his new decision. While no one knew that he had any decision to undergo the surgery, he had it; so I guess he may already had some deal done with the Vikings and just appear in his Favre jersey like any other Vikings player, as if he never said that he wanted stop playing.

While most Vikings fans got excited about Favre’s new move, most New Orleans Saints fans remain calm and still wait for further information on Favre’s playing status. Though expecting the quarterback not to return for revenge, they also recognize that a healthy Favre is a big threat to Saints’ defense when the two teams rematch for 2010 NFL season opener.

Saints safety Sharper had knee surgery

The New Orleans Saints safety Darren Sharper will not make his decision on his career future as a free agent until he is fully recovered from the knee surgery that was performed on Monday to correct a lingering knee issue.

Before the surgery, Sharper was believed to have to miss two games because of the very knee injury last season, the sixth season that he did not played in all 16 regular-season game since putting on NFL jersey. Fortunately, the injury did not prevent him from playing for the Saints in the Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

By so far, Sharper has not offered any information about where to go after becoming a free agent, but there is common belief that he will re-sign with the Super Bowl Champion team, who is also believed to want Sharper back. Before the free agency began last Friday, the Saints did not take the expected action to place the franchise tag on Sharper, however, it is still believed that there would be at least a one-year contract worth $1.7 million to retain Sharper for the 2010 season.
