He makes good points. If the Vikings don't win the Big ne with Favre (Who what, has 3 years MAX?), then who's going to lead them at the QB position, T-jax? HA!

So who says Brett Favre is joining the vikings?

He hasn't signed anything yet people make all these assumptions.

Wait and see IF it happens. I would not count on it.

I still don't think the old one will play for Minnesota, but that's beside the point. Here are my favorite lines from the column:

Everyone in Packerland is concerned about the changes in the defense as they relate to their current personnel with new coordinator Dom Capers. Certainly, theres a reason for concern (change causes concern), but the Packers offense is going to be the best friend to the Packers new defense. If the offense is as explosive as I expect, they will build the lead, which then will allow Capers to become more exotic with his scheme. Capers might be the best complement to the Packers offense, creating pressure from various positions on the field, which in turn creates turnovers. My concerns about the Packers on defense get smaller every time I think about how explosive they can be in year two of the Aaron Rodgers era.

You guys really don't think Favre will play? I have thought so since the day the Jets released him. This article makes me all warm and happy inside. GOD I'm ready for football!

Boy a homer writes an article and a alot of homers reply to it. Watch out Brady Rodgers is going to break all your records, I think Rodgers shoukld retire right now so he can be inducted into the Hall that much faster lol.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Nobody has said that it is the most objective of articles, but a puff piece every now and again is good for the soul.

Besides, my quote was about Dom Capers and the DEFENSE.

Thank You "British"

This is a good read.

Now... I personally think the Vikings will be a force to be reckoned with this year. More of a force with Brett, and I believe this will happen. I stated he would be a Viking as soon as the Packers offered him monies to retire after his UN Retirement the first time. However we need not go there.

The fact is... The Vikings have a very good team. The Bears are improved with Cutler. The Lions will not be a push over.

This makes the NFC North the best Division "Competition Wise" in the NFL. That means a great season, a great deal of scoreboard watching every Sunday, and remarkable inter divisional conference games.

The biggest winners of the off season trades, moves, and possible signings in the NFC North are........ Not the Packers... Not Aaron going into his second year as a starter... Not the new Packers "D" and Not Brett? Not The Vikings. Not Cutler. Not Da Bears. Not the Lions....

The biggest winners are..... You and I, and every fan of every team in the NFC North.

It is going to be the greatest year for a very long time, for the fans of The NFC North. It will be great theatre every week.

Then.... It all ends with A Packer Superbowl.

Once again.... 2009/2010 Let's Get This Party Started.
