Was Brett Favre wrong to come out of retirement?

Question

Do you think Favre should have stayed retired?

Answer 1

take him out to pasture and....

Answer 2

no one should be able to tell him what to do. i am so tired of all of these Favre haters saying they hate him and they wish he would just disapear. if they dont want to play in the nfl, fine. no one is making them watch the d**n game. and as for wishing for him to get hurt... i cant stand brady and his "im better than you" additude but i would never ever wish he would get hurt. it sickens me when people talk that way about players. if brett wants to play, then enjoy cuz there will never be another like him

Answer 3

NO FREAKIN WAY, the dude can still play, and he found out he still wanted to play. Anyone with that kind of talent and wants to play, should be on the field. The Packers were complete jackasses during the whole thing.

Answer 4

I think that Favre has some serious issues with commitment. He's done this for years with the Packers. If you look at his personal life he also took a long time to marry Deanna. In that time it's well known of his running around town, getting drunk. Maybe Favre was realizing that he needed to get back into football to avoid those demons. in any case, Favre is just another egotistical, narcissistic entertainer. He should have stayed retired. He now has tarnished his image with many football fans. especially those who follow the Green-and-Gold.

Answer 5

Well if he wanted to come back i cant say he is wrong

its his life and he had an oppurtunity that he wanted

If you mean do i think he will do succesfully

i am doubtful

i dont think he will make the playoffs and i dont think he will be one of the top then Qbs at the end of the year

But remember Montana played with the chiefs too

and Unitas played with the Rams

But they are still great Qbs that we will always remember

Answer 6

yep he will regret it because he now plays for  the jets.

Answer 7

If he wants to play let him play!

Answer 8

In a word, yes. He was wrong. He's spent whatever credibility he had and screwed his team, his coaches and his fans for his own vanity. He has squandered his legacy for a few dollars more. His ego has been shown to be immense. He is not the great God he and his fans think he is and those AFC Defenses are going to hurt him. He should have either NOT retired and stayed with the Packers, a team that has given him EVERYTHING he has wanted, or stayed retired and left his legacy intact. But, we all should have seen this coming, with the dithering every year, should I retire? Should I stay... and every year they talk him into returning, beg him and stroke his ego. This year the Packers took him at his word and allowed him to gracefully bow out of the game. Then the itch for attention comes back and Miss Brett Farve starts yelling "look at me!" expecting the Packers to, once again, beg him to come back. Fuel his overblown ego. How insecure is this jerk that he needs CONSTANT ego massaging?Then, he acts like it's the Teams fault that he wasn't brought back in with Open Arms! He would have to Earn his position! Well, Brett, you're the one who retired! You're the one who forced managements hand! h**l yes, he should have stayed retired. Now his legacy will be tarnished and the NFL Fans who had to sit through this debacle will remember him for the whining crybaby he has shown himself to be. Stay retired Brett. Football is a game for men.

Answer 9

Let him play. He's one of the greats and he's fearless on the field. I'm afraid though, New York is going to eat up that country boy.

Answer 10

he never should have left but that screwed him up and ended him up on the jets

Answer 11

I think it was obviiosus last year that Brett Favre wasn't the Brett Favre of old.The Packers carried him to the NFC championship game.In his last 7 games he passed for 11 TDs and 9INT with a 4-3 record.He caught lighting in a bottle and should have left his carrer end on a fairly high note.He saw first hand how Elway ended his carrer and maybe wants the same(CAN'T BLAME HIM)Yet a reality check will be comeing this year for Brett and I realley feel his great career is going to come to a bad end.

Answer 12

NO! he can still play. Brett is one of the only guys left in the NFL that plays for the game. almost every other player would have taken the 25million and ran away from the game. but not Brett. that obviously shows with him rejecting the 25million and not caring where he plays.and what does his personal life have to do with his career? absolutely nothing! the packers are stupid! I'm a packers fan but they are DUMB! brett brought the game to a whole other level and half the fans at the packers game are there for Brett! so no brett wasn't wrong. you don't see people attacking Billy Bob who lives down the street and retires from business then next week pulls out of retirement. That's his job and he loves doing it. Football is Brett's JOB and he loves doing it

Answer 13

Not in the slightest. Brett Favre is the greatest QB to lace them up. Brett Favre didn't really retire as much as he was retired by the media, and the Packers. Before the Packers started buiding their defense, Brett Favre was all they had. In fact, in 2001, the Packers locked him in for the rest of his career, with that 10 year/ 100 million dollar contract, and then, four years into this contract, the Packers burned a first round pick on a very highly touted QB; no J.T. Sullivan, or a lesser name QB, but Aaron Rodgers, the Cal State walk-on media darling. Yes, Favre was dealing with personal issues, and the media needed a story, so they started trying to force him into retirement to protect their own(Dan Marino<if you think he was happy for Favre's TD record, then you are niave> once TD king)Sterling Sharpe got a neck injury, or Favre would be even more of a superhero. The Packers have never helped him in the slightest. Ahman Green was a fumbling machine. Robert Brooks, Antonio Freeman and Desmond Howard were all garbage. They selected Donald Driver with the 7th round pick in 1999 out of a tiny college(Alcorn State). They let Javon Walker go when it looked like he might have a real target to win with. They let Bubba Franks go after he had one unfortunate season. Now Donald Lee is the man, huh? Let's watch Aaron Rodgers struggle to get 9 games this year, and put up crummy numbers. Watch Favre have a huge year, because he is used to dealing with scrub WR, Green Bay gave him plenty of practice in that department> Watch the media call for his retirement snidely all year, by speculating as to how long he can continue to put up numbers. The colts are a far classier organization, but, Peyton Manning will wind up being coerced by the media when they want to try to control the record books too, just wait.
