Fezmid Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Last week I was told to never ever ever compare Brett Favre to Drew Bledsoe. I think I figured out why. Bledsoe doesn't play this poorly against the bad defenses... Poor Favre.. I think this is going to be his last game in the NFL... He's hinted at retiring all season.

Fezmid Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 Don't count the Packers out just yet. 199537[/snapback] I'm not. But regardless of the outcome, I wouldn't be surprised to see Brett retire. Then again, if he loses to the Vikes he's probably less likely to retire.

stuckincincy Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Dunno. I believe TQM once remarked that the most dangerous territory on Earth was between Farve and a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 He looks alot like Kelly did right before he retired. He wants to make all the throws he did in his younger days but just can't do it anymore. I hope Brett hangs em up and doesn't tarnish his rep as a clutch QB because he has been anything but clutch in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Favre is having a rough first half, but that second pick was his receiver showing one route and then running another.......The main difference between Favre and Drew in a situation like this is that with Favre, you have much more confidence that he can get the Pack back in it. If our Bills were down like this, I'd have faith that our D could get us a turnover or two, but I have very little faith that Drew could do what Favre is capable of. As for Favre retiring........I hope not. But you're right, it's probably looming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird. I think the announcers said that Brett's never come back from 14 points down before. Puts things into perspective... And Brett just threw the ball 4 yards past the line of scrimmage. That could be compared to the play that someone brought up a few times last week where Drew accidentally threw the ball away on 4th down. Not looking good for the Packers, but they do get the ball in the 2nd half... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW 199536[/snapback] Wow thats an astute observation seeing Favre debated retiring after last season. Favre is the only 3time MVP in the history of the NFL. He is a leader. Did you see him going after Vikes defenders after the cheap shot on Bubba Franks? Favre is a winner. He has the ring to show for it. I agree Favre best football is behind him but he is still great fun to watch. Dont ever compare Brett Favre to Bledsoe. As far as football ability, leadership, charisma, past achievments, team record, passion, history of big games, etc there is no comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, your post is about nothing then, right? CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
