Tominator Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Packers It's obviously tough for some athletes to let go when everyone around them knows it's over. The competitive spirit will always outlive their ability to play. Jerry Rice comes to mind, but there have been a ton of others over my lifetime that I can remember. Either way, Favre has his place in Canton someday, just hope he doesn't make a fool of himself like Rice did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Packers You know it's the coaches and teams that allow them to play past their prime. If I was making millions and playing a game I loved, I wouldn't quit. This guy has it made. He gets to start every year based on his success he had several seasons ago. Seriously, somebody needs to cut him. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texastrophies Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Packers He may be making a fool of himself and tarnishing his memory, but I imagine his banker and agent don't see it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfisherman Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Packers I would agree that he should step down. He needs to think of the team. They would be better off giving Aaron a shot. Maybe it hurts them for a year but in the big picture it would be better. He just doesn't seem to want to let go.

When Rice was put on the field he still did an adequate job, but Favre...man alive that guy just heaves the ball all over the field like he's actually trying to throw INT's sometimes.

[/ QUOTE ]\ I'm with John on this one. Rice was bad, but at least the guy didn't just ruin his team's chance of winning when he got out there. Not to mention, Rice was always all class about it. He didn't hold his team hostage while he decided if he felt like playing or not. And you're right John, some of those INT's make you wonder. I guess when you think you God's gift to the game, you might think that you can get away with bad decision like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Packers Do you guys remember how many injuries GB had last year? Two of their top 3 recievers, their top 2 running backs. It's pretty hard to try to win the game when you have third string players in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the guy didn't have a team around him...but that's no excuse for throwing into triple coverage. Besides...that Gonzo guy (or whatever) came in and ran the ball pretty well...so it wasn't like he didn't have a running game to go to. Farve's problems (all of them) can be summed up in one word...EGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farve is tarnishing his memory as we speak. [/ QUOTE ] Check the rosters of the Broncos in 97-98 and what the Packers had last year. If Favre had a team like that, he'd have thrown for 30+ TDs, not picks. Javon Walker - out Ahmad Green - out Bubba Franks - out Davenport - out Mike Wahle - lost to free agency Marco Rivera - lost to free agency The front office wasn't doing their jobs. Not saying he shouldn't retire and makes many bad decisions, but that comparison doesn't tell the whole story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
