Good bye Brett Favre

One of the greatest players retires.


Good bye and thank you for the memories.

The greatest quarterback of all time, hands down.

Very, very sad to see him go - I've been watching him in Green Bay since I was 10 years old.



I really hope we don't have another two decades of horrible QB's.

He was always my favourite.

I was privileged to see Brett Favre play in person when I went to my very first NFL Game. I saw the Packers play the Jets at the Meadowlands in the regular season finale December 2002. Even though I had fun watching the Jets cream the Packers that day (Hands down the best memory for me as a Jets fan), I was also excited to see THE Brett Favre play in person in what turned out to be the most important regular season game of the 2002 season, since many playoff fates was decided on this game.



Thanks for the memories, Brett.

he'll be back.

Word in Wisco papers is that he is not at all happy with Ted Thompson again this offseason - and considering how strained that relationship was even going into this last season, I wouldn't expect to see him back.

And Vern - that's pretty neat that you saw him in your first NFL game. I had the good fortune of growing up 20 minutes from Lambeau, and having a grandmother who lived two blocks from the stadium, so I was fortunate enough to have a lot of opportunities to see him play in GB.

I've never bought a sports jersey in my life, but I'm seriously debating purchasing an authentic (replica) Favre throwback jersey right now.

there's no way he leaves now, bears are horrible next year (got rid of both starting WRs), lions suck as always, and the only competition in that division are the vikes, who don't even have a QB.

yeah he might be pissed now, or whatever is going on. but there's no chance in hell you don't come back to a division you can win with a 9-7 record next year.

Have you even read and/or seen the reasons he gave for retiring?

Huh, I never read or heard anything remotely like that.

And in any event, as long as McCarthy and Thompson don't go spend a bunch of money on some douche free agent QB and instead stick with Rogers, there's always a chance he'll decide in June he wants to give it one more go.

it's in the yahoo! article on the issue.

there will always be a riff with McCarthy, but you can't argue the man came in and fixed some of the things Brett was doing wrong (namely sloppy mechanics) and resurrected a great career for a couple more years.

I hope he doesn't come back. He was one of the greatest and one of my all time favorite QBs.....but I would hate to see him come back a year down the road only to suck it up and go out on a bad note. I think it's a perfect time for him to walk away on good terms.....and Green Bay didn't go after Moss so I think he made the right decision. The guy is a true warrior.

I hope he doesnt come back for all the wrong reasons..

We play GB next year.. Come back the year after next.

i have a lot of respect for brett for doing it now. he's accomplished pretty much everything that he can. i don't see any reason for him to comeback. i was happy to see him have a good year and look like the old brett.

btw, i always love how they put up the stats about how many qb's the bears have had during favre's career. it's hilarious to hear some of the names.

goodbye to one of the top 5 quarterbacks of all time. he was definately one of the special quarterbacks that had "winner" written all over his face.

i think what the packers have at the moment for aaron rogers (hopefully they stick with the guy) is sufficient enough for a 10 win season. defense is stout, wide receivers are pretty damn good with driver and jennings, and they seem to have a legitimate running back with grant. have a good retirement brett, and hopefully green bay doesn't suffer the same misfortunes at quarterback and head coach like miami did when shula and marino retired.

Do it now because it will cost you 5 times less now than a few years from now.

It's been pretty nice (but sad) to hear all the interviews with current and former players, coaches, and other people in the industry talk about Favre's career.

I guess with all the nonsense surrounding baseball this year, and in general SportsCenters focus on off the field drama, it's just pretty nice to see basically everyone who's ever had anything to do with the game of football coming out and showing their respect.

I myself am still in a bit of shock. I'm really, really going to miss watching him play - I don't know that I've seen all that many other players who are remotely as fun to watch solely for their own excitement.

Favre was a 40 year old man with the enthusiasm of a 10 year old playing football at recess.

Top 10 MAYBE... Top 5? NO way!

Name all the quarterbacks who are better, go on. I'd love to see the list, because there aren't very many names that are going to argue against this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_...er_achievements

quote:

* Most AP NFL MVP awards: 3 (1995, 1996, 1997)[59] * Most consecutive starts by a quarterback (NFL): 253[4] (275 including playoffs) * Most wins by a starting quarterback (NFL) regular season career: 160[4] (Regular season record: 160-93) * Most career passing touchdowns: 442 [60][61] * Most career passing yards: 61,655[60] * Most career pass completions: 5,377[62][4] * Most career pass attempts: 8,758[4][3][63] * Most career games with at least three touchdowns: 63 [46]

Sorry m8 - you can't argue numbers.

*cue you posting the interception record - predictable response is predictable after all.

Go on though - seriously, I'd love a good laugh.

God forbid we talk about Brett Favre on a thread that's dedicated to the retirement of Brett Favre!








































But I'm really wondering who will back up Aaron Rogers next season

aaron rogers backup = ty detmer.

God this pestilence on the NFL is finally gone. Maybe John Madden will actually be tolerable now.

Very emotional departure... greatest quarterback of all-time in my books.

Thanks Brett.
