Brett Favre's determination to play quarterback this season for the Minnesota Vikings prompted him to undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair his injured passing shoulder recently, according to two sources. However, Favre remains unable to make a commitment because subsequent throwing sessions indicate the shoulder is not yet 100 percent.
While Favre has now clearly demonstrated his interest in coming out of retirement for a 19th season in the NFL, it seems equally obvious that he will not do so unless convinced he has recovered fully from the torn biceps tendon that undermined him last year with the New York Jets. |

A soon to be 40 year old QB with a surgically repaired throwing shoulder coming off of an average season is the savior for Minnesota? He might be an upgrade, but not really what you might call a "sure thing" at this point.

I agree. I don't think he has much more to offer, and I'm not so sure he'll bring to the table even what he did last year. And that wasn't all that great.

Not surprised.
First, they set a hard line for him to show up, then send someone down to watch him perform. I think Favre loves this stuff.

Sure he doesn't. I don't really buy that. He's so wishy-washy about all this, and I would really like him to just make a decision and stand by it.

I honestly think it's time for him to retire. No more of this I'm retired, but I'll sign with that team anyways. He's in his 40s and his shoulder is going bad. It's his time
