Flash back 09 NFL Season—When the Minnesota Vikings finally signed National Football League superstar quarterback Bret Favre the fortune of the team made a 365 degrees turn-around.
Favre had a great season his first year as a member of the Vikings as he had a superb year throwing for 4,202 yards and 33 TDs against a career best seven INTs that made him a legitimate Most Valuable Player (MVP) contender in the 2009 NFL season.
The 2009 might not end magnificently after the Minnesota Vikings were beaten by the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship but it showed glimpses what this NFL franchise could do in the 2010 NFL season.
If ever Favre once again defy father time and returns for the Vikings it would certainly be a bad news to other NFL teams especially those in the NFC North Division.
Key reinforcement—The Vikings hit a goldmine in the 2010 NFL draft after it drafted running back top prospect Toby Gerhart who is tailored made in the system of the Packers.
Gerhart is expected to take care of the ball eight to 10 times every game and evade defender if the need arises.
He will also acts as complementary player for running back Adrian Peterson who is badly needing some help notably if Favre decides not to return in the 2010 NFL season.
Key personnel loss—The decision of reliable running back Chester Taylor to play for the Chicago Bears in the 2010 NFL season is a big-loss for the Vikings.
Taylor who had a respectable average of 338 rushed yards on 94 could have become been the top complementary player for Peterson in the NFL season this year.
The loss of Taylor would be felt severely if ever Favre decides not to anymore return to the Vikings since the team lose a reliable running back who always gives his 100 percent effort in every game.
Key to success—To have a banner 2010 NFL season the Vikings must convinced superstar quarterback Bret Favre to return to the team and lead their campaign this year.
If ever by stroke of bad luck and Favre decides to retire with finality it would be a bad omen for the Vikings since Vikings back-up quarterbacks Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson do not have the skills yet to ensure steady wins for the team.
Once Favre returns, the NFL veteran quarterback also needs to give his 100 percent performance so that the Vikins can repeat as NFC North Champions in the 2010 NFL season.
Must see NFL game—If ever there one game Vikings fans should watch and the NFL franchise needs to win it is their opening game in the 2010 NFL season against the New Orleans Saints.
Regardless if Favre will play or not the Vikings needs to play their A-game and show the Saints that they are different team last year and is every determined to win the Super Bowl this year.
The Vikings-Saints match-up is also very important since it could help decided who will take the home field advantage in the NFL playoffs.
Fearless forecasts—Bright things awaits the Vikings in the 2010 NFL season especially if superstar quarterback Bret Favre returns to the team.
Despite the glittering possibilities the possibility that the Packers could derail their dream is still very possible since the NFL team had vastly improved from last year.
The Vikings have a potent force in offence in wide receivers Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin, who are both great complements for Peterson.
However, to run as a smooth offensive machine, the Vikings need to have a reliable quarterback who will lead the team, the management should strive hard to get the services of Favre back if it wished to succeed in the NFL this year.
