8 out of 12 playoff appearances, 2 SB appearance, 1 SB championship, and 123-69 regular season record. Not bad at all and certain Hall of Famer.
I will never deny favre is a hall of famer, no argument from me....
just for the record, favre is 3-5 in the playoffs since 98, two of those losses came at home...got outplayed by vick and manning....11tds and 16 picks.....
lets not forget...6 picks against the rams in 2001, threw 4 picks against minny in 2004...and everyone remembers last years pick in overtime...
over the last 10 years, favre is an average qb....all im saying... | |

And, although wiz means well and I dig his stats (chicks dig the stats) ,he could become like a backed up computer, melting down or combusting with too many numbers in his head. 
(you know that wasn't a jab,wiz. thing's are going too good  )
Hey kids,Rock and Roll, Rock On...
Btw, where are the Packer backers?  | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 12:02:30 PM | | I agree with Bronco statement....I just think his tenure with Packers were fairly good. Brett went through a lot of adversity and still managed stay among the best. Farve finished off in a good note last year and it should stay this way, but to me he looks like he is going to ruin his legacy. I do think its time for him to retire and let the Packers gamble on Rodgers to be new QB. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 12:48:22 PM | This overrated egomanical pill popper needs to go away already. First he says he's not reporting to camp because he doesn't want to be a distraction. Then Thursday he says he's going to report on Sunday. Now Sunday rolls around and he's not there.
Aaron Rogers should just stab this annoying old man. | |

he is a Diva and he always has to be in the spotlight.....I agree with you, just go away, he is getting annoying now. His feelings got hurt when the packers didnt want him back, now he is just being a big baby about it....
this is from someone who has been an average qb the last 10 years of his playing days....i will say it over and over again...he is a hall of famer, but my goodness he is overrated.... | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 1:22:37 PM | There is no reason for him to show up to camp....In the next week or so, Farve will be in a different uniform.
He has already cause enough distraction to the Packers. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 1:26:33 PM | | I was sorta hoping his career would have ended on that forced throw against the Giants. That would have summed post-super bowl Favre up perfectly. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 3:53:29 PM | I hope Favre doesn't get traded and then forces a 2nd trade to the Vikings.
If he does I hope GB fans boo him when he returns to lambeau field. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 3:57:44 PM | | It's going to be funny when Favre gets traded, continues to be an INT machine, and Rogers has a great year. The only reason Favre had a great year last year was due to all of his receivers being YAC machines. | |

A QB can only be good if he has good receivers and the receivers can only be good if the have a good QB. Both need to play the game.
I agree he is INT prone, but he does manage at times to land the ball in the proper place at least 60% or better of the time....I think no matter which team he goes to, he will make it better. However he is going to need a lot of catching up to do since he missed a lot of football. | |

| Brett Favre to Retire
Posted: 7/27/2008 5:25:49 PM | | No, his receivers last year were freakishly good after the catch. That had little to do with him. And he runs a west coast offense, he better be over 55% or so. | |
|
| Brett Favre to Retire
Posted: 7/27/2008 7:00:38 PM | | Yes I agree with you...However, since you are talking last year, then 66.5% of the time the ball landed on the right spot for them to gain yards after catch. Not to mention only 15 interceptions. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 7:53:38 PM | Green Bay disgusts me. If Troy Aikman, Dan Marino, or John Elway said hey i think i want to come back only 4 months after being retired you know they would let him back.This is a no brainer. it hurts me to watch this happen to him.You guys cant say he doesnt still have it, he is still an elite QB. Plus the greatest QB to ever play. You cant argue when he holds every record a QB could hold lol.Ill root for you whereever you go brett! you first green bay second. Whoop there ass this season and make them see how retarded they are. | |

he is still an elite[/quote[ opinion, In the nfc maybe, but "elite" means he is in the manning brady category, and he isnt even in the same universe as those two...there are only 2 elite qb's in the game, manning and brady.....PERIOD.... Plus the greatest QB to ever play he isnt even the best qb in green bay history...ever hear of bart starr?......go check favre playoff record and then talk to me.... 6 picks against rams in 2001... 4 picks against minny in 2003 and everyone knows about the pick last year in overtime, as a matter of fact, second half was horrible for favre... You cant argue when he holds every record a QB could hold including the most INTS in history, pretty sure he doesnt want that record..... favre...hall of famer?...of course he is....but over the last 10 years is a average to below average qb..... | |

First he says he's not reporting to camp because he doesn't want to be a distraction. Then Thursday he says he's going to report on Sunday. Now Sunday rolls around and he's not there.
While I realize that this thread has basically become a Favre-haters circle jerk, perhaps someone here might be interested in the entire story:
Favre a no-show to Packers camp - for now
By CHRIS JENKINS, AP Sports
MILWAUKEE - Brett Favre didn't report to the Green Bay Packers' training camp Sunday, temporarily easing tensions in the three-time MVP's ongoing standoff with the team.
Packers spokesman Jeff Blumb confirmed Sunday that Favre did not report to camp with Packers players, who were required to report at 7:30 a.m. CDT.
Favre told si.com that Packers general manager Ted Thompson had asked him for "a couple of days" to resolve the situation.
"I agreed to do that," Favre told the site. "I don't want to be a distraction to the Packers, and I hope in the next few days we can come to an agreement that would allow me to continue playing football."
But of course, I know that I'm ignorant of some basic truths:
1) Aaron Rodgers will be a better QB than Favre-guaranteed-that's why it's so important to "move on;"
2)Packers GM Ted Thompson never, ever has been anything less that completely honest in any of his dealings with Favre or the fans here in Wisconsin.
I'm sure there's more to it than that, but what the heck do I know? | |

I dont think either side has handled it very well.....BUT...I just think favre has put the packers in a horrible postition, thats all....
1. keep him as a backup?...that is a huge distraction..rodgers throws a int, its a media frenzy
2. make him the starter, rodgers will not be happy, if favre starts out as the int machine that he is, people will have a field day
3. trade him....to the nfc?...I wouldnt if I was green bay, he will have a chip on his shoulder, not that I think favre can take any team to the superbowl at this point..but favre only want to go to a winner...
bottom line, favre got his feelings hurt when teh packers didnt care one way or the other if he was gonna retire back in march, now I just think he wants to stick it to thompson
hence why I think favre is some what of a diva.... | |

now I just think he wants to stick it to thompson If this were true, I wouldn't blame him: Thompson is a duplicitious ***hole...the first thing TT did was to trade away three All-Pro linemen and draft a QB in the first round; yet he looks everybody in the eye and says, "No, we are NOT rebuilding?" While Brett Favre may not have the judgement of Joe Montana or the accuracy of -well, whoever- he is a competitor and a fighter; and quitre possibly the most popular player in Packers history. This would have all been solved four or five years ago of TT had the spine to just tell Brett, "Look, we're going in another direction from here on out; while Wolf/Holmgren/Sherman emphasised offense, my new coach and I both want to focus on building the defense up (a la the Ravens of the early part of the decade). Do you want to retire, or should we work out a trade?" Instead, he left Favre in there to take all the physical abuse that a QB will take by the inexperience of an O-line on a team that "...is NOT rebuliding..." Think about this: in 2006, the Pack started three rookies on the line FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEAM HISTORY!! And since the Green Bay Packers played their 1st season in 1919, that's a lot of history-including the 1958 season, where the team posted it's worst showing ever: 1-10-1, yet even then they were able to find enough vets to start in at least three o-line spots.
And which team got the first go at the youthful Packers O-line, trying vainly to protect their aging QB? "Da Bearssss," who went on to win the NFC Championship.
If I was Brett, I'd be bitter, too. | |

these are facts...
over the last 10 years he is a medicore qb....good team or bad team....
I think this is what the packers are looking at.... | |

Posted: 7/28/2008 12:20:31 PM | Brett should be able to do whatever he wants to do. Before Brett, Green Bay had been a catastrophy for many years. He has been the face of that franchise and had a great season last year. I do agree, however, that Brett has to makeup his damn mind and stop making everyone wait on his decisions every year.
The Packers organization better get it together. | |

Stop crying and just go where they tell you to go. Even if they tell you to go to
The same way people complain about illegal aliens taking away our jobs, Favre is trying to take a job away from a legitimate QB. | |
