Favre to Stay Retired - Page 2

bowhnter · 07-28-2009, 06:05 PM

I hated the Packers (Bear fan here) but I would not have liked to see Favre go out with a potential terrible year that so many do when trying to come back after it's time to hang 'em up.

That is this weeks decision...change #3000 will come next week.

I believe it when I don't see him suited up in several seasons.

I'm still holding out hope that Favre flip-flops one more time and decides to join the team after training camp. You never know what this guy's going to do next.

Sign Vick.

Let's not even joke about that one.

I disliked Vick even when he was the top paid player in the NFL. A QB who can't pass; no thank you. At least now he's got half a chance to be a decent player with the advent of the wildcat offense.

You make some good points, Chris. BTW, Berrian is another one of my Madden favorites.

I'll believe it in 5 years when he is still retired....otherwise I don't trust him.

CueTheMusic · 08-18-2009, 09:39 AM

Well, never mind about the whole being retired thing... Sounds like he is coming back. Again......

He is so selfish. He didn't want to participate in training camp.

I am so tired of his BS

Figgin ridiculous. I'm sorry he went off and did this crazy crap. Some people in GB feel a little responsible for letting "our boy" out run a muck.

QB's can often make or break a team. QB is the most important position on the team. Any one who says differently doesn't watch much football. Are there exceptions? Of course. As much as a QB can make or break a team if the QB has no team he can't always excel. Such is the case with Dan Marino. Marino broke all the records and very rarely had a contender team. I hate the Dolphins but as a football fan I have to admit that Marino was one of the best. Had Marino played on a team that could support his skill he would have a ring.

Favre played on a team that made him look better than he was. Much like Emmitt Smith looked better on the Cowboys then he would have elsewhere.

I equate Favre to Emmitt Smith, a player that looked better than he was because of his team, and Marino to Barry Sanders a player that shined and was one of the best despite his lack of team support.

Cliff notes; the Jets suck and didn't have a supporting team for Favre
