Childress Has Different Favre Strategy

Minnesota Vikings' coach Brad Childress has decided to go a different route than the Green Bay Packers in dealing with Brett Favre's indecisiveness. Instead of rushing Favre into a decision, Childress has told Favre he can take as long as he wants to decide on whether he is going to come back.

Childress believes that rushing Favre into a decision may led him into retirement, after hearing his reasoning for coming back after retiring from the Packers the first time. Childress believes that with Favre they are a Super Bowl caliber team and without him they probably miss the playoffs. Instead of focusing on an eventual future plan for life after Favre, it seems the Vikings have put all their eggs in Favre's return basket.

It will be interesting to see if the Vikings use their draft picks to pick a quarterback for the future in this April's draft. If Vikings wait until August and Favre comes back they could be a Super Bowl favorite. But if Favre does decide to retire in August, the Vikings will be desperately searching for the last piece they need for their strong team to make it to the Super Bowl.

Once again, another off-season that will be filled with Favre news...
