Favre is done

Thanks for 2 decades of football. Favre's career encompasses 2/3s of my life. What a career
 
oh, and for those saying he should've just walked years ago...He got to hear 70,000 people screaming and cheering for him every week. He made millions of dollars doing probably the only thing he knows how to do well as far as a career goes. He got to spend two decades winning and losing with his best friends. Don't act like you guys wouldn't have done that if you had the chance too. If I got the chance to play pro football they'd have to drag me off the field in chains. I'd never leave
 
The Vikes payed him like 26 mil to play this year, sorry but money talks and anyone who says he shoulda quit a year earlier, lets see them turn down 26 mil.

I wouldn't be suprised if he comes back. Nothing with this a-hole is suprising.

He's got nothing left. If the Vikings 2nd string wasn't so god awful, he would of been benched half way through the season. Why would any one want this this bag of bones back? He got offered the job because he brought them to the conf. finals. He didn't bring them anything buy grief this year.
 
Sad way to end a great career.

Luckily in a few years we will all forget this last year and just remember him from his Green Bay days. After all, does anyone really remember Joe Montana playing for the Chiefs?

unfortunately for him he ended his career with the "i'm gone" "i'm back" shenanigans and the whole, showing his little favre to various women who apparently didn't want to see it. the voters remember stuff like this, and it influences how they vote.

no. just no.

he is going to be in the hall of fame. no question on that. they are going to look at his career and not the the last few years. him showing his dick to a few chicks ain't going to keep him out.

at most hw won't get in the first vote. but he will get in and faster then others.
 
Farve is a first year HOF choice, not even a question.

Quarterbacks almost always go in during their first year.
 
I will always remember Favre's first game where he won it against Bengals with a td to Kitrick Taylor...

I was 16...and got in my first car accident on the way to the arcade after the game...should have died but got lucky getting t-boned by a truck going 65 mph.
 
Favre is definitely first ballot in, but if he had retired as a Packer or retired last year, he would have gotten 100% of the votes. Now, with the extra drama and the bad year this year, he'll only get like 90 something percent of the vote because some of the dumb writers will want to make him wait a year.

On the plus side, after all the Sterger drama, at least Favre managed to put up a fitting 69.9 QB rating for the year.

I don't think he'll be back next year. For a 60-70 QB rating and 10M+/year, you might as well take a flier on some draft pick instead or even McNabb.

oh i'm sure he'll get in eventually, but he won't be a first ballot.

You'd have to be stupid to think he won't get in on the first ballot. I don't even like him and I know this.

Sadly, he'll get in from the remaining buzz and controversy surrounding his last few years, hyping him up to be something he's not. That's not to say he wasn't good and didn't deserve a HOF ballot, but I think it would have been up for debate if he'd be a first-timer or not.

how is that even possible? of course he will be a first-balloter. no one will give a dirty dog's shit over his rather-mundane-for-a-football-player personal life.

No one will remember this final season, 2 years from now. No one will care. Do you think Jordan's post-retirement years with the Wizards should have tarnished his HOF chances? And as far as personal life goes, he's a much bigger dog than Favre has ever been. Should that have influenced the voters?

No way. Favre is overrated as hell, but he would be a first-ballot HoFer whether he retired in 2008 or 2011. Have you ever listened to ESPN gush over how incredible he is? The guy had his worst season ever this year and, up until about six weeks ago, they were still talking about how he was a kid out there, just trying to have fun.

When sports media is in that kind of denial, you better believe he was getting on the first shot on reputation alone.
 
besides all the stats, favre has 3 nfl mvp's tied with jim brown, johnny unitas, 1 less than peyton(4) and more than other 1st ballot HOF QBs like terry bradshaw, aikman, steve young, elway, marino, warren moon, dan fouts.

favre probably had more media attention than all of them combined.

if you think he's not 1st ballot you are crazy.

He's a Hall of Famer, but I don't consider him nearly as great as everyone else does. I think his greatest achievement is his durability. He was able to accumulate those numbers mostly because of that. He won one Superbowl, and lost multiple big time playoff games with mind-numbing mistakes. He threw more INT's than anyone ever as well.

He's certainly great, but not top 10 great.

He threw more int's in an era that has never been more pass happy and with defenses that make cryptology look like a kiddies crossword puzzle. Please remember that context.
