Should Brett Favre retire? Brett Favre came back for another shot at the Super Bowl, and he almost got there. Even though this was his best year statistically, he still should retire because eventually he will lose his composure, his accuracy, his strength, and his awareness. If he retires now, he will have gone out on a high note. But who knows? If he did play one more year and did not play well, he would have gone off on a low note. Don't get me wrong, he's a great quarterback. But after a while, you just have to step away from the game. I think the only reason he would come back is because it wouldn't be nice to have your last throw in the NFL be picked off, especially when he only threw 7 interceptions the whole regular season. He is a Hall of Fame quarterback though, so people will always remember him as a great quarterback. He has set almost every major passing record including most touchdown passes, even though he also has one of the worst records, most interceptions. Favre said his return is "highly unlikely."
Do you think he should retire?

ReplyDeleteI definitely think it is time for him to hang up the cleats. The chances of him making it back to the divisional championship game again are not great, and even with the last throw being a pick, this was a great season for him that culminated in one of the best NFC Championship game showdowns in recent history. He has a lot to be proud of.
ReplyDeleteIf he goes out now, he goes out not just a winner, but a winner with his health. If he keeps rolling the dice, not only might he go out on a much lower note, he might go out on a stretcher.
I believe #4 should retire as a result of what I like to call The Seinfeld Effect. Jerry Seinfeld decided to end his classic sit-com Seinfeld while the show was still funny. As a result, the show will always be remembered as a classic and Jerry and gang will line their pockets for years to come. It will be remembered for what it was: a hilarious slice of life that ended on the top of its game.....not a has-been group of over the hill comedians who are trying to remember how to be funny. I think Brett Farve should follow in Jerry's footsteps here. Hang up the cleats, Brett and go out on top. It's better to burn out than to fade away.
