The tension between Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre and coach Brad Childress is the result of disagreement over how much influence each should expect to have in running the offense during games, according to multiple team sources. Childress has a reputation for limiting the number of audibles he allows his quarterbacks to call at the line of scrimmage. Favre apparently believes his knowledge of the offensive system and 19 years of NFL experience qualify him to make changes based on his extensive film study of opponents. Although the two have discussed their recent disagreement -- which became public when Favre resisted Childress' attempts to pull him from Sunday night's loss in Carolina -- it is unclear whether they have resolved the fundamental issue: Is Childress and his coaching staff going to control the game from the sideline, or will Favre be permitted the autonomy he feels is necessary to control it at the line of scrimmage?
I don't really understand the issue here. The Vikings spent the entire offseason on their knees in front of BrettFavre to get him to Minnesota. They wanted an established veteran quarterback to avoid the embarrassment of having another strong season from Adrian Peterson and a solid defense go to waste because of guys named Sage or Tavaris. I don't understand how Chilly thinks the ol' gunslinger has the time or the inclination to explain himself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that he provides, and then questions the manner in which he provides it. If BrettFavre wants to audible from a 70 Draw Counter Option Tight End Load, to an interception into triple coverage, well that's his god-given right. -Written by John "the shady tool man" Grady(That's our Xmas gift to you)
