RayFinkle Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 What a POS. 1) Go out with some dignity like Kelly did. 2) I still think you're lame for giving Strahan that fake sack for the record. Kelly?? The only difference between Kelly and Farve is Farve chose not to take the money.
Christopher Capolupo Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Favre is old news now. He isn't enertaining to me. I lost respect for him in the past year or so. I think he hurts the game more than he helps it by coming back again.
Spiderweb Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 What a POS. 1) Go out with some dignity like Kelly did. 2) I still think you're lame for giving Strahan that fake sack for the record. IIRC, Kelly did work out for the Ravens and Marchibroda (i believe) convinced Jim it was time to hang them up.
IHFO Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 He was officially released last week. Let me guess, "ever" goes back to 1990 in your world. ooo his stats say otherwise and he has a SB bowl ring so yea i'll throw him up with the best ever..as in ever you apparently haven't watched very many packers games because he's really really good/ or was
Steely Dan Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Per SI.com * 08:07 AM ET 05.03 One NFL source insists Brett Favre can't peacefully retire until he finds a way to get revenge on the Packers. He wants back into the NFC North so he can face the Packers twice. The Bears traded for Jay Cutler and the Lions drafted Matthew Stafford. Hello, Minnesota. "Favre can't stand Green Bay," the source said. "He wants to play Green Bay and say, 'I told you so.' His bitterness is creating this. I think he's calling Minnesota. I think Minnesota is talking about this as we speak. You haven't heard the end of Favre. No way. He is bionic. As long as somebody will let him in, he will play." New York Daily News Who wants to bet he ends up in Minnesota, within the month?.... Favre is a tremendous Jack-ass! If this report is true then he's doing everything he can to ruin his legacy in GB. Get over yourself Bretty. It seems he really thinks he could screw the Packers over and come back on any whim at any time. The fact that GB made a logical decision shouldn't piss the guy off. He's such an ego maniac he disgusts me. If he had retired at the end of the2007 season his legacy and his adulation in Green Bay would've been sealed. He's ruining everything he's worked for and if he goes to Minnesota it will really throw a wrench in his legacy. JMO Statistically yes he is. I dont think i can remember a guy that played the game with the love and enthusiasm that Brett did, but sometimes you have to know when to quit to preserve your legacy. Think of Emmitt in a Cards uniform, or Johnny Unitas as a washed up Charger. Walk away with grace and dignity. Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, Jim Kelly, Joe Montana and Kurt Warner might disagree. They are all in Favre's league for love and enthusiasm for the game. JMO

NyQuil Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I don't blame him for wanting to play. The media is at fault for FAVRE ticker on ESPN2.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I wish Brett would do everybody a Favre and retire for good. Enough already!! Very funny. Best QB ever???? That is ridiculous!! That's when you're supposed to say who's better. Of the guys a bit older, Elway and Young are certainly in Favre's class. Of the guys a bit younger Manning and Brady have an argument. Warner and Big Ben are not there yet IMO. But there have been so many great QB's in NFL history. I hope he comes back. Watching Brett Favre play this game has always been a pleasure...nothings changed. Mostly true point. You know the vikings qb situation is bad when a 40 year old washed up bret farve who is coming off of surgery is by far a better option than all of the qb's on their roster. If i were a vikes fan i would want bret but as a game manager much like he was in his last year at green bay when they were one game away from the super bowl And what's the chances that Childress would be able to control Favre? Remember how Marino was in Miami? Seemed like he took the team away from Shula at some point. They could never run the ball nor did they try. I think Favre has the same sort of ego. I mean all that drama the last few years with him... Favre is old news now. He isn't enertaining to me. I lost respect for him in the past year or so. I think he hurts the game more than he helps it by coming back again. I think he hurts himself more than he hurts the game. The game will always be there and it's way bigger than any one player.
Dylanme8 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I don't blame him for wanting to play. The media is at fault for FAVRE ticker on ESPN2. Thank you someone that gets it..... This guy F'in plays NFL football and has a passion for the game, If he wants to play, who are you pass judgenment. I'm sick of all these politically correct D-Bags, Who cares how he does it. Now if it was Tom Brady I would be rippin on him or any cow girl or cheatriot player or coach for that matter lol
mrags Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Statistically yes he is.

Think of Emmitt in a Cards uniform, or Johnny Unitas as a washed up Charger. Walk away with grace and dignity. If throwing the most interceptions in NFL history is considered the stat that you go by then yes he is the best QB in history. He is great. Ill give it that. But stats dont mean everything. I would easily put Elway above Farve.

Good point....here's my list of who I think was better than Favre: In no particular order off the top of my head; Elway, Montanna, Peyton Manning, Marino, Steve Young, Johnny U. There are definitely more from past eras.
Yasin's BILLS Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I'm going to put this into simple words, who freaking cares?
LabattBlue Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I care. I think Favre playing QB for Minnesota twice this upcoming season against Green Bay is a lot more interesting than Sage Rosenfels or Tavaris Jackson at the helm.
Major Mud Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 I care. I think Favre playing QB for Minnesota twice this upcoming season is a lot more interesting than Sage Rosenfels or Tavaris Jackson at the helm. Wouldn't it make Berrian. Harvin, and Peterson more valuable in fantasy leagues if they actually had a QB in Minnesota?
stuckincincy Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I care. I think Favre playing QB for Minnesota twice this upcoming season is a lot more interesting than Sage Rosenfels or Tavaris Jackson at the helm. A two-game personal services contract. I like it!

Bill from NYC Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 You know the vikings qb situation is bad when a 40 year old washed up bret farve who is coming off of surgery is by far a better option than all of the qb's on their roster. If i were a vikes fan i would want bret but as a game manager much like he was in his last year at green bay when they were one game away from the super bowl This also concerns me in terms of the NFL turning into a sideshow. Favre is washed up, but he will sell tickets. Sanchez came out of nowhere in the last month before the draft and was the #5 pick. I don't know if he is any good, but he will sell PSLs, ya know? Btw, I disagree, but people probably use this analogy wrt the Bills and TO. I just hope that it all works for us.

Bolded = you have to be kidding there is no way the are/were better qb's I'll give you that an argument could be made for elway and montana...farve kicked young's ass pretty much every time they went head to head except for that one playoff game when TO finally decided to catch the ball

What about Graham?

Payton and Brady will probobly both break passing records and TD records that are held by #4. They will probobly do it without playing 20 years and throwing 300 ints too. It really depends on opinion at this point. You say Favre, and others can say Montana, Young, Elway, Unitas, Graham. Quit thinking your opinion is the only one worth listening to. They are all greats and could all be considered to be #1.
