Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
Wow, I'm surprised. With the Pack being a team on the rise I thought he would give it another go.

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
I thnk part of it was that they didnt give him another playmaker i.e. Randy Moss

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
The offense seemed pretty productive without Moss last year. Driver and Jennings are both very good receivers and James Jones played well at times. I doubt that was why he hung it up.

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
Yeah pretty much, he left while he was still at the top, when people look back they are gonna say, damn he had a great season his last year and he took the Packers to the NFC Championship game, rather than say, he should've retired years ago.
It's gonna be different seeing a different quarterback trot out for the Packers next year, but all good things must come to an end. I'm curious to see if they are gonna stick with Aaron Rodgers or go a different route.

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
It seems like the timing is a little strange. He has played on bad teams........and stayed. He has a Great season, and elects to retire, with the same team coming back? Go figure

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
Yeah, good decision. Not many walk away while they still have something left in the tank. Good for him. Next stop, Canton.
The real question is, what will John Madden and the rest of the media do now without the "Gunslinger" bs to fall back on every packers game?

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
I guess he's thinking the only way to top last year is to get to the Super Bowl which obviously is not an easy thing to do.

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
He's really going out knowing he threw that pick that lost the game to the Gmen????

Re: Favre has decided to call it a career
With a 17 year career under his belt he's got plenty of other memories that trump his last throw, including a Super Bowl ring.
