Favre to Stay Retired

[TripleF]

C'mon back Favre!!!!

[14holestogie]

Can't begrudge a guy who still wants to play and may have the ability, but his handling of the last few years will-he or won't-he sure won't win him many friends.


But I will be watching him just like last year when he was with the Jets, cause you never know what the he11 he'll do. He is fun to watch.



...and he'll always be a Packer, either way.

I hope he plays if he knows he is mentally and physically able. Though I don't put all this blame on him. The last two years he has jerked around quite a bit, though the media started this crap 8 years ago. Hell, after they won the Super Bowl they started to ask him if he'll retire since there wasn't anything else to play for. Many people tried to make that arguement that Elway retired, so you should go ahead and retire while on top.

Had I been in charge of GB last year I would have done the same thing and let Rogers replace Favre. You have to know where your team stands. Luckily for Favre all the QB's in Min suck ass.

I hope he has a great season.

C'mon back to where? I can assure you the Jet's don't want him...

I was pissed off when I heard they let Pennington go for Favre. That was a horrendous decision, and I hope that's what got Mangini fired (along with his pansy ass play calling.)

As for Favre any team would be signing their season away by letting him on the team. He causes way to much hate and discontent. He doesn't have the ability to become a leader on the team anymore because other players view him as a prima donna. Any leader will tell you that you lead from the front. He wants to feel above everyone else and that loses him the respect he needs to be a successful QB on any team...

{whispers} and for the record, he's never been that great of a QB anyways. The guy holds the record for interceptions and has been known to be a choke artist. {/whispers}

I guess those TD and Yard records and never missing a game don't count for anything.... or all those MVPs

Yep, can't blame a guy wanting ALL the passing records.

I'm sure his attempts to interceptions ratio isn't anywhere near the worst in history, either.

If you play longer than anyone else in the game your bound to break a record or two. Hell he's been in the league for what seems like 30 years I would hope he had a few records.

That seems to short his career just a tad don't you think

I'm a big Favre fan, though I do not mind at all people being annoyed the last couple of years and not wanting to hear of the guy for 5 more years, but there are just some ridiculous comments. The guy is one of the top leaders in comebacks. The year Rhodes was the HC Favre had a 4th qtr comeback every other game.

I wasn't talking about individual games... I was talking seasons. Hell look at the Jets season last year. We had a great season in the beginning and middle of the season. The end of the season Favre looked like crap and blew our playoff chance. That isn't the first year that has happened to Favre.

I'm not saying he's a bad QB, I'm saying I don't think he is great. I think he is mediocre and that the reason he holds the records he does is because of the amount of time he has in the league. I think people are crazy to put him in the same category as "great" QB's like Montana, Young, Johnny U, Joe Willie, or Dan Marino.
