-- Vikings Players Lobby for Favre to Return --
Tue Jan 26, 2010 --from FFMastermind.com​

The Pioneer Press reports Vikings teammates of QB Brett Favre lobbied on Monday for him to return and play in 2010. After Sunday's loss, Favre reportedly told ESPN's Ed Werder it is "highly unlikely" he will play again. Favre, 40, came out of retirement to join the Vikings the week of their second exhibition game in mid-August. He was widely considered the missing piece to Minnesota's Super Bowl puzzle, and for 18 weeks — and to the surprise of many — he played like it. With the best statistical season of his 19-year career, he led the Vikings to a 12-4 regular-season record and their first conference title game in nine years. Favre set career records for quarterback rating (107.2), completion percentage (68.4) and interception percentage (1.3) while passing for 4,202 yards, 33 touchdowns and a career-low seven interceptions. Perhaps P Chris Kluwe said it best: "Why wouldn't you want him back?" But HC Brad Childress had to work hard to get Favre to play for the Vikings this season. Though the quarterback signed a two-year deal worth $25 million, including $13 million next season, he seemed ready to finally call it a career on Sunday after rallying the Vikings for the tying score in the fourth quarter. "He already knows we want him back," said WR Bernard Berrian, who led the Vikings with nine receptions for 102 yards on Sunday. OT Bryant McKinnie even said the team would be OK with Favre missing training camp again. "I think everyone just wants him here for the season, come in like he did this year," McKinnie said. "Just having him part of the team, I felt, helped elevate everyone. I feel like everyone stepped up and played at a higher level, and he was part of the reason."

Of course they want him back. He can still play at a very high level and they know 2010 would be the LAST shot at a Super Bowl for them.

"Highly unlikely" he will return. Yeah right.............

I will forfeit my 2009 Shula League Championship if he isn't starting on opening day for the Vikings. That's about as certain as anyone can get..........:albundy:

I can totally understand him taking some time this year - it will take time to recover from the beating he took this past weekend.

That said it is the D line that I'm concerned with - they are getting long in the tooth - may not be a rebuild but you need to start giving some of those big tater's more breaks at this stage in their career so they can maintain a Super Bowl push.

If Favre thinks he can re-peat the 2009 stats and take the Vikes to the NFC title game he may be in for a rude awakening, as history tells us Favre has never had a season as good as this one TD to INT ratio.

Favre just retire now and go out on top a great season, your chasing the dragon and we all know the elusive dragon is never caught

The dude can still play. I'd like to see him try it again.

But I don't want to see all the drama again and I don't want to hear about Favre every time I turn on Sports Center.

If I were you, I wouldn't be turning on sports center. You and I both know that you're living in a fantasy world if you think their hard-on for Favre will be limp if he decides to play again.
