Do you think Favre will retire?

[Barrak]

He will find a way of getting out of training camp again, and then play.

Repost.
:sneaky:

 

[TwiceOver]

I think he'll play another season.

If only he would have walked that five yards and taken a dive rather than throwing an int...

 

[Jadow]

I wouldn't say phenomenal. He's done ok.

Also: YATTNMPoal!

I don't have a problem with Favre, and its up to him or Minnesota or whomever to make that decision. I just wish the media would stop going apeshit over it all.

Childress is also in charge of personnel decisions, and he's done a phenominal job there. Those 2 awesome receviers, Peterson, Jared Allen, and Favre are all Childress acquisitions.

 

[Zargon]

token of trivia

Childress and Peyton attended the same University


I'm sure Farve will do the wishy washy thing again

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I think he should play another year, but not if he is going to jack everyone around with his usual retirement drama just to get out of training camp.

 

[Miramonti]

Two things I learned while watching Favre yesterday...

Joe Montana previously held the post-season record for most yards and most completions among quarterbacks.

Very cool.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

He'll be back assuming he can get a hold of some more performance enhancing drugs. Sure the guy is a physical specimen but there is a reason he is still out there playing at such a high level at his age. I predict this is the beginning of many NFL qb's that play into their forties.

 

[Krazy4Real]

He will retire and then unretire.

Sci-fi much?

PED's won't help qb's, who are notorious for going on the disabled list with breaks, tears, dislocations, as well as bone and deep muscle bruising.

Favre is not only a freak of nature to have avoided physical catastrophy as a qb after all these years, he's also tough as hell to play with what he has endured.

Sure. Baseball players during the homerun era just were eating their wheaties.
You're naive to believe with all the money and fame at stake these guys aren't doing something testing hasn't or won't catch. 10 years from now when it's a pretty common things for 40 year old guys having career years you'll still have your head in the sand.

 

[Deeko]

Who the hell cares? I can't believe people are already talking about this bullshit drama.

Don't you think that with all the random testing that goes on in the NFL, he would have been caught already?

Have you ever heard of HGH (human growth hormone)? They have no way of testing for it. And that's just what we know of.

You didn't even address the issues I brought up, lol.

Go ahead, hijack the thread with a generalized rant about PED's in professional sports. I know you want to.

Let's help you out since it seems inevitable:

'Barry Bonds...yada yada yada...'

There, now please, carry on...hijack away.

You are correct about him being the ironman of football. Guys tough as nails.

Is it anymore fair to sit back and watch him take Joe Montana's records and not say a word but when Bonds took the homerun record it was teh worses evar.

Uhm...yes.

Other nfl positions that deal with speed and power are an entirely different argument. But this is about qb's...a position where one excels thru experience in reading defenses, timing, and calculated finesse when thowing the ball at a moving target 30 yards down field with 300lb lineman chasing you. How can PED's possibly help a Brett Favre from the common qb injuries I mentioned above, muchless elevate his performance to where it is now given what it takes to be a successful qb?

Have you ever seen Jemarcus(?) Russell play? The guy is physically a freak of nature with an arm like a canon, but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn twice in a row, even from within the stable.

This is quickly becoming the worst hijack evar.

Has there been an off season the past ~5 years where Favre hasn't retired? He'll retire, but he'll be back. Although who knows, maybe he wont even retire seeing as how he did just have one of his best statistical years ever.

PED's not only are used to build strength but aid in prevention and faster recovery from injury. Just listen to Mcguire and how he took steroids not because they increased his baseball performance but to get back from injuries faster (so he says). It basically helps him stay in the game longer than he could without.

Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and say Favre will be back next year.

From the look on his face yesterday, I bet he would've permanently retired on the spot if given the option.

Even though I despise what Brett has become in terms of his drama, the guy still has a top 5 NFL arm and can play. I think he should come back and give it one more shot.

And Mcquire was full of sh!t according to the guy who sold them to him, suggesting there were better [steroidal?] options for healing than what he took, and in his opinion Mcquire's use was all about performance.

 

[Regs]

He's going to keep going until he goes out with a super bowl win or gets too injured to play.

That's my guess too. He had his chance with the Vikes, but I'm guessing it's going to take a major injury now to end his career.

 

[Doboji]

I hope he comes back and plays. He's still better than 90-95% of the QBs starting in the league today. He's certainly better than any other QB the Vikings could rustle up.

What has Chilly done that's been so great?

He's improved the team's record every single year he's been there.

2006-07: 6-10
2007-08: 8-8
2008-09: 10-6
2009-10: 12-4

I mean sure, sometimes he has some shitty play calling and clock management, but practically every coach has moments when they screw up like that. His predecessor Mike Tice was bad... best he ever did was 9-7 and he never really improved.

The biggest mistake Childress made, I think, was entrusting the rest of his awesome team to Tarvaris Jackson, a middling backup QB at best. But hindsight is 20/20. I hope Favre comes back for another year and gives the Vikings a little more time to find a good replacement for him. If they put Jackson or Rosenfels in charge I don't think they'll do that well.
