Childress: Vikings OK waiting on Favre’s decision

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Minnesota coach Brad Childress knows one way to get a definitive answer from Brett Favre(notes).

Wait.

“I’m not going to put him in any box,” Childress said Friday at the NFL’s annual scouting combine. “Four weeks and change, he’s still healing up from that game (the NFC championship). He’s kind of earned that latitude.”

Whether the three-time MVP needs a month or an entire offseason .. Childress isn’t pressing the issue. He spoke with Favre twice this week, but football was not the primary topic.

Instead, the three-time league MVP was busy putting down fresh limestone on a road that leads to his mother-in-law’s house, which is on Favre’s property in Mississippi.

Why should he? He’s still one of the best QBs in the league, and the NFL is really hurting for good, young QBs.

He's still healing from a game that was over a month ago...by laying down limestone for a walkway.

O...K...

Tell Farve to go stand in front of the mirror and admire himself.

I agree with you.

Let the hornheads have fun putting up with the Prima Donna’s bullcrap.

At least we know that our guy (Rodgers) is a team player.

Too bad the Vikes can’t draft Tebow. :-)

Childress could call his old boss Andy Reid and get McNabb for a second round pick. That would buy him a few years to develop a young quarterback. Of course, that decision only makes sense if Favre does retire. Childress is probably wishing Favre would make up his mind in the next week.

I honestly don’t think Tebow is an NFL QB. He relies on running too much and NFL linebackers are faster, stronger and smarter than college.

Besides Grossman (and I’m taking liberty there), I can’t remember one Florida QB whose had a significant impact on the NFL going back to Crybaby Spurrier days. Most wash out.
