Is it his year?
 

Just curious - who thinks Brett Favre may hang it up this year? I think he'll stick around for one more, but certainly wouldn't be shocked to see him say goodbye this year.

This was a tough year for him-first full season without his dad, brother-in-law dies in a freak accident, wife diagnosed with breast cancer. I don't think he wants to go out like he did today against the Vikings

The packers need to invest in another QB...Favre is getting up there in age and it shows. Lots of bad throws today. He's got couple of rings might as well retire cause the packs sure as hell ain't winning another one any time soon.

I think he has at least a year or two left. Wouldn't be suprised to see the Packers draft a QB to be taught by him while he is still there. I have seen Kyle Orton mentioned as a possible 2nd or 3rd round pick by them and wouldn't be suprised if it happens.

He only has one ring?? :)

You're right he only has one and lost to Denver the second time...that's good enough i suppse.

#4 Retiring?
 

Will it depend on what happens to Sherman? A good record since taking over for Ray Rhodes, but his teams seem to peter out at the end. Losing at Lambeau in post season, like they did to the Falcons a few years back, and now to a another home/dome team would have been unthinkable for most good Packer teams.

Also, I think that Brett is so unorthodox, he may not be much in the mentor department. He is a Barry Sanders version of a QB. Great Games, Great plays, then stinko.

I dont know, I'm sensing the end. I know he wants to stick around, and maybe one more year, but they gotta start getting someone ready to take over. I was watching the game w/ some guys and I just said " maybe he's finally lost it " after they didnt come back. Its not on me to say what he should do, I think he should do what he wants, but even if he comes back, the Packers I dont think are going to be able to win a Superbowl anytime soon.

If the Pack could upgrade the D they'll be right back in the thick of things next year.

Favre still has another two seasons in him or so. He'll be back.

I think he may very well hang it up I think he has had enough, he look's to me like he's losing his arm strength as well.

Wow - if he's losing arm strength what does Brunell have! ;)

From what I heard on ESPN radio this morning Favre was going to announce his retirement last night in the postgame press conference, he went in to Sherman's office to tell him and Sherman had to talk him out of it and told him to take a few weeks to think about it.

With what he's gone through this year I guess it's not hard to believe.

Yeah, they said he was very emotional and wanted to hang it up right there. In the end, I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed or retired.

I would love to see Favre go out on top so I really hope he comes back for one more at least.

Yeah, I mean yesterday was no real example of just how great of a player he is. Favre IS known to throw the errant pass here and there and once he gets rattled he kind of tosses it up for anyone.

He's one of the best to ever play the game, and it always seems that every few games or so, he gives his 3-4 interception performance. It just so happened that the playoffs is not the time or place to do so.

I'm being selfish, but I'd love to see him stick around for another year. He still has game. He's a class act and I love to watch him play. During the play yesterday where he was penalized for throwing the pass past the line of scrimmage, he had this huge smile... It made me believe that he still loves the game.

He's had a brutal year on the home front... I would understand if he calls it quits. If my wife lost her brother and then immediately was facing breast cancer and chemo treatments, it would be difficult for me not to want to focus on her. Not to mention losing his own father last year.

Favre is still in the top 5 QB's in the league. Yesterday was a way off day for him and they still had a chance late in the 3rd before being totally pushed out. He won't go out like this, he will come back and probably hang it up next year.

Maybe we'll see him go out on top when he gets dominated by the Redskins in the NFC Championship game next year? :)

I think with all that has happened to Farve off the field, he may decide to hang it up and spend more time with his family. He's still one of THE best QB's of the game, but I can tell his game has been off somewhat this season.

He's still 1,000,000 times better than Mark Brunell...lol

I'll take a 50 yr old Favre before I take Brunell..

I would take Favre with no arms over Brunell! LOL Ouch! I guess that was a little rough!

No he completely deserved it. HE'S one of the main reasons I have to pay out the ass to park at FedEx.

At least Clinton is earning his keep (for the most part).

Speaking of earning their keep... anyone heard about Pierce recently? I've heard a contract has been close.

Slate.com had a great article this week about Favre and the difference between his stats and his image in the media. I know that he's not responsible for how the media lionizes him as a "good ol' guy" just wanting to play football, but I've detected a growing weariness from some football fans over it. You look at his last several playoff games and you get this:
1. 2005- 4 picks at home vs. the Vikings.
2. 2004- one win, and then bad passes vs. the Eagles (I'll give him a big pass on that one- 4th and 27 anybody?)
3. 2002- loses to Falcons, at home, 1st ever playoff loss at Lambeau.
4. 2001- Mulitiple INTs vs. the Rams.
I love the guy, he's fun to watch, but I fear he's at the Dan Marino-late stages of his career-thinks he can force the ball into anything-stage of his career. The Packers need a QB plan now and Favre needs to wind back and play within his talents. Still would love to see him over Brunell though :cool-smil

Had Favre not lost the way he did, I'd say he's done. He'll play one more season and try to end in a lambeau home win which they miss the playoffs, or a good playoff performance by him.

Favre still threw for over 4000 yards this year and 30 TD's, he's not in the late career Marino stage just yet.

I think the Packers tend to lean on him too much come playoff time. They really need to upgrade the defense.

Great Line P!
