Brett Favre

Favre is high up there. Maybe not the best, but high up there. Anyway, I guess we all knew it had to happen sometime.

I will remember him as arguably the best QB to ever play the game. A stand up guy. Someone who you want to lead your team. Congrats to Brett Favre. He truly is one of the best ever.

his final season

Ain't that the damn truth.

That was the best post I've ever seen form Animal.

Both my jerseys still fit me.

But they're not from when I was a little kid, I wasn't really a Packers fan (or football fan, for that matter) until I was about 11 or 12, and I started out liking football and watching it every weekend because of Brett Favre.

Bretr Favre was the reason I became a die hard Packers' Fan.

LegacyWins · 03-04-2008, 06:26 PM

I'm excited to watch Rodgers play though.
Hes a good QB.

Now who is everyone's favorite packers player now that Favre is retired?

I really like Kampman and Jennings

reactionkilla · 03-04-2008, 06:28 PM

Kampman, Barnett, Bigby, Harris, Woodson, Jennings, Driver, Crosby.

I doubt I could pick haha.

Damn, I thought he'd be back for at least one more year

Brett Favre started playing for the packers before I was even born, the packers without favre will be completely new to me, well football without favre is completely new to me. Maybe he'll start to coach or something

LegacyWins · 03-04-2008, 06:31 PM

Grant and Bigby as well, can't believe I forgot them.

What!!! Brady dosn't even make the top 10. Not yet anyway, he's got a long way to go.

Do you need superbowl rings to be considered the best? Yes, but its not everything. Superbowl rings are more of a measure of the team and not of the individual quarterback. Bardy's case is a prime example. He is a great game managing QB, and has been on great teams, but the teams won the superbowls, not Brady.

Favre started for 16 years and averaged about 28 TD per year.... Yea he had some bad years apperently?? lol

nates · 03-04-2008, 06:48 PM

aside from most touchdown passes, most yards, and most wins which are the only records that matter... his 3 MVP's which no one else in NFL history have ever done makes him the legend he is.

reactionkilla · 03-04-2008, 06:53 PM

What about the 256 straight starts? I'd say thats the one thats least likely to be broken by another QB.

Greg Jennings for sure.

Who the hell Is this Brett Favre guy!?...

he's the man! 17 years is a loong time. Constant hits and tackles takes alot of power to over come not to mention the emotional pressure of preparing for a game.
he signed with greenbay in 1992 and has played EVERY GAME since then. That it self speaks greatness.
He has gone through soo much in his years dad dying,wife with cancer, pain killer addiction, nearly devorce due to his alcohol problem.
and yet he still remained on top.
u might say oh. But look at his 288 interceptions.. Ok?¿ so what! He's played 17 years! Those build up after so long.
When u think of greenbay all u see is the #4 and to have an impact on a team is awesome.
Joe Montana is my top followed by Favre u might think Brady ad manning are the top spots but look how young they are! They will need to stand the test of time before they can be considerd great. Favre played the game to his 100% ability agsints guys 10+ years younger and still could rise above.
he will alwYz be the backbone of the NFL and never forgotten
happy retirement small town hero
and good luck!

Possibly Peyton Manning if he stays healthy and plays another 10 years lmao.

=(

Now my Bucs can have an almost for sure win against the packers next season.

Sucks he left though, he did some amazing things for being that old.

Kind of like they did against the Giants?

Aaron Rodgers looked pretty good in Dallas after Brett left with an injury. He's been studying under the tutelage of Favre for 3 years, so I think he'll have some success leading the Green Bay Packers.
