Brett Favre

[utrunner07]

If you disregard this year stats and look at the past 3 season I think it's clear or was clear that brett farves career was heading down the drain.

yeah lets just ignore his good year and just focus on the bad years...that makes since...

you know Tony had a great year last year but if you disregard last years stats he is unproven and unpredictable...

the Favre hatred on this board is AMAZING...and makes the Favre bashers look very ignorant

he was a GREAT QB, he has fallen a little bit but is still a good QB...on top of that he is a solid guy that loved the game and played all out every game...why the hate?

 

[utrunner07]

and he sux in the playoffs anyway, if they manged to get there

David

Um...he was just as good as Aikman in the playoffs...and I am pretty sure we can all agree Aikman did not suck in the playoffs.

No that's not true I think people are trying to view his previous season as some type of indicator of a Brett Farve revival when infact he has never been that good in his career and if you look back the past 3 season he wasn't good at all. I seriously question his love of the game as oppossed to him trying to get every major QB stat possible.

Congratulations!!! You have 1,725 posts and this is ridiculous opinion number 1,000.

Just because you say my POV is ridiculous doesn't make it so.

If Favre goes to the Vikings they are a playoff caliber team with a dominant running game and a very good defense, especially run defense.

Anyone who says that Favre would not make that team better just doesn't know their *** from a hole in the ground.

Were you ever a high level athlete? Not high school or the company softball league...but college or minor league?

BTW, he has pretty much every major QB stat now any way.

and he retired right afterwards. No I wasn't why does that matteR?

Anywayz i find it funny that his qoute on qoute love for the game hasn't been anything more than media hype. But what ever blindly follow what tells you

First if you have no experience at that level then you have NO idea what it is like to play a sport that you love for years and then have to end it one day...it is a VERY difficult decision for a lot of people, but is something that you would not understand unless you have dedicated hours upon hours year after year to it...

Second, you can tell Favre loves the game just by the way he plays and the passion he has...its does not require a doctorate in psychology to see that. You could see how much it hurt him to leave the game when he retired during his press conference....would not expect you to understand something like that though.

Third I have not watched ESPN in months, its probably been since the super bowl that I have watched an entire sports center. But you keep arguing against something just becuase ESPN says it and you want to be different...

And it is: quote un quote, and typically when you are writing you use the actually quotation marks ""....

The level of bashing and hatred for one of the all time classiest and most passionate players the NFL has seen on threads like these is absolutely disgusting and pathetic.

 

[yeahyeah]

I bet ten bucks if Favre is in fact released, he goes to the Vikings.

If he went to the Vikes that would be very scary.

I agree and that is where he WILL go if GB releases him. I dont like the thought one bit either.

no, he wasnt

Aikman had basically 2 subpar games in all his playoff career.....Favre had many more than that, including rhe 6 int debacle

I agree. Favre has lost a step, but he is still among the top 10 or 11 QBs in the league. If he wants to play, the league and the Packers should let him. As I have said in another thread, I would love to see Brett wearing a purple jersey playing against the Packers at Lambeau. That would be prime time TV at its finest

Yet another stupid thread.

All things must come to an end and football is something most end whether he wants it to or not 18 years it far to long. For a job where he outlive expectations and the standard life of a QB. Don't forget he decided to retire....

I see an old man that is old and was struggling to keep it together last season. He is old worn and tired he has outlived his usefullness and it's time for him to move on.

Third I have not watched ESPN in months, its probably been since the super bowl that I have watched an entire sports center. But you keep arguing against something just becuase ESPN says it and you want to be different...

Ook but you still believe the Farve the Golden boy and how much he loves the game. I don't see him as that type of person.

He was addicted to pain killers and acohol.... I wonder how classy that is.....

 

[utrunner07]

no, he wasnt

Aikman had basically 2 subpar games in all his playoff career.

lol, come on you know better than that...

1. All things must come to an end and football is something most end whether he wants it to or not 18 years it far to long. For a job where he outlive expectations and the standard life of a QB. Don't forget he decided to retire....

2. I see an old man that is old and was struggling to keep it together last season. He is old worn and tired he has outlived his usefullness and it's time for him to move on.

3. Ook but you still believe the Farve the Golden boy and how much he loves the game. I don't see him as that type of person.

4. He was addicted to pain killers and acohol.... I wonder how classy that is.....

I agree with you (at least to an extent) on 1 and 2 but I don't blame at all for still having that desire to play...

On three, I guess we will disagree then, no way of knowing for sure either way, you may be right, but in the past he has loved the game, I think he still does, just an opinion.

4. Everyone makes mistakes, and he overcame his. He was always classy on the field and on the camera and always very well respected by those that knew him, that says a lot.

lol, come on you know better than that...

I thought I heard that Aikman was one of the best, if not the best, percentage wise in the playoffs? I mean, come on here! Three SuperBowls compared to one for CheeseHead? It does not add up....

 

[dbair1967]

lol, come on you know better than that...

lol...ok you take Favor...I'll take Aikman and whip your teams arse almost everytime

Aikman= money in big games

Favre= not so much

First of all I will take Favre on the early 90s Cowboys teams over Aikman on the two Green Bay Super Bowl teams any day....

Second your original statement was "and he [Favre] sux in the playoffs anyway" --- so my question to you. Does Favre suck in the playoffs or does he have a few bad games just like any other QB?

(I recognize that Favre makes more mistakes than Aikman, Favre was also on a less talented team than Aikman, take it for what its worth)

Fans picketing outside of Lambeau Field (per NFL Network) demanding that Packers management give Favre the starting job back. They also said a march is planned for sometime this week in Milwaukee. There is website that is going to be launched called "bringbackfavre.com" (or something similar).

Some moldey cheese up in that neck of the woods!!

Hey, I'm cool with Favre coming back...not my problem! And, if management caves into the demands of the fans (the actual owners of the team)...then they are just as wishy-washy as the great CheesHead his bad self!!
