Can Vikings protect Brett Favre and is there still enough magic in his tank?

We all know that the Saints are going to blitz him (even with safety Darren Sharper on the bench) frequently in the Thursday opener, hoping to apply a TKO. Favre has the bad ankle now and no Sidney Rice ... and his best bailout receiver, Percy Harvin, is another migraine away from not playing his best. People in Minnesota have been talking all summer about those five turnovers against the Saints. Otherwise, the Vikings might have been champs. It’s difficult to keep turning back the clock and virtually impossible for Favre to duplicate last season’s ratio of 33 TD passes to only 7 interceptions. Plus, the Packers are saying there's no way he will beat them twice this year. Minnesota can, though, if Adrian Peterson stays healthy and becomes a great third-down back.

Not long after Brett Favre apparently told his Vikings teammates he will not return for the 2010 season, he changed his mind.  Are we surprised?

So, he's back....and maybe this year he will be put down for good.  Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see him permanently injured but every summer/fall it gets a little old with whether he's coming back or not being the biggest question in the NFL.
