The more I think about this, the better I like the idea of bringing him here. The way I see it, there is no downside.
If there is chaos caused by this (cancer in locker room type stuff), the blame will wall squarely on Chilly.
If Favre sucks, the blame will wall squarely on Chilly.
If Favre gets hurt, I do not see this as stunting the growth of any of the other QBs on the roster. If this messes any of them up mentally, **** it, they suck anyway, and the blame will wall squarely on Chilly.
If Favre is healthy and plays well, the Vikes have a legitimate chance to win it all.
The worst thing that could happen in my mind is this: the Vikes play well enough to get into the playoffs & lose in the 1st or 2nd round and Zygi thinks thats good enough for Chilly to stick around for one more year.
Edit: One more good reason for bringing him in - Jim Souhan doesn't think its a good idea. This virtually guarantees that its the right thing to do, lol.
