Farve From What You'd Expect

Two games into the season and it seems like coming back was a pretty horrible idea for Brett Favre. But what is the problem exactly? You could say it's Sidney Rice being injured, you could say it's age, you could say a lot of things. I personally think that the problem is with the treatment of him as if he is some kind of God. You've got to wonder what the other players in that locker room who work way harder than Farve feel about the way he is bowed down to by the coaches and management. It is absurd that they spent all their time wooing Favre and making sure he's there for them and all the royal treatment they give him. First off if the vikings were really smart they'd thank him for last year and would've let him go so they could pick up McNabb last year, a better long term quarterback with just as much talent. Second of all, if he was going to play for them he shouldn't have been able to BS around skipping most of training camp and then deciding to come around week three. The Vikings pretty much let it be known that their world revolves around this guy. So back to my first point, if I'm in this locker room I know I would have a definent resentment for him knowing that I've been working as hard as I can and pretty much going unnoticed because their too busy sending players to Mississippi to talk to Favre or checking on Favre to see how his ankle is. This is probably the reason they aren't preforming as well especially since this "God" has been playing like a regular old quarterback. The fact is last year was a great year, also pretty flukey, and not likely to happen the same way. Not to mention it ended with another Favre like chokefest in the NFC championship. It's not as if they've done anything to improve their roster, and the NFL is about constantly improving your team because if you don't the other teams will and it's looking like everyone in that division is just as good as them now. Unless something drastic happens (Vincent Jackson to Minnesota?) it's going to be a very long year in Minnesota.
