Brett Favre to return for another season

[JennaSide]

Yep, he announced it.
I'm so happy.... he can still play & he sure deserves to go out on a better note than last season.
 

[the dirt]

At least he's not leaving it down to the last second again, leaving the team in limbo.

[Drew]

Happy to hear Brett will be playing another year. He's a quaterback you love to root for and watch him play. He is such an ambassador for the game of football.

He should've waited till Monday.



Glad he is coming back though, they went 8-8 and have a very good young team up and coming.

I feel bad for Aaron Rodgers though, this poor kid went from possibly being the number 1 overall pick to dropping to 24th and now cant get off the bench in Green Bay thanks to Favre.


A good draft and GB are a playoff team next season.

well i'm not a big fan of the Packers so yeah i'm glad he's staying............

I respect the man for still playing the game but this is a young mans game, and its time to pass on the torch.

How'd I know that JennaSide was gonna post this? 

I'm so happy too, barring any major injuries, Green Bay is a playoff team.

this thread should be called "Green Bay will suck for another year".

It's hard to believe that he is so close  to so many all time records. Good for him, I am glad he'll be back. He's a class  act and an attribute to the NFL.

Did anyone see the NFL Network commercial during the game?

There was a fan blowing out a Chargers candle, and the caption said, "For some, letting go of the game is hard."

And then they showed Favre in his backyard, and the caption said, "For some, it's even harder."

In 2006, brett favre hit career lows for total TD passes, Completion %, and yards per attempt. He threw an equal number of TDs and INTs (18). And his passer rating of 72.7 ranks near the bottom of all QBs.

Meanwhile, highly touted QB Aaron Rodgers will spend his third consecutive year on the sidelines as favre?s backup.

GB will waste another year.

But as a fan of another NFC team, I?m certainly not complaining. 

[The Dog]

^^^ agreed

I never understood why or how poeple rave about Farve.  Hes good, but definitel not a top 10 QB in the league.  Hasn't been for a very long time is you ask me.

This would've been a great decision 5 years ago. But now, he's only hurting the team and embarrasing himself.

The verdict may still be out on Aaron Rodgers. But I don't belive he will be a successfull NFL Quarterback. The Green Bay packers come back next year with overall a young team.  If you look at the nfc as a whole there really is no stand-out great team. Much less 6 teams that will definetly be in the play-offs. The packers will compete, be second in their division and get a wild-card spot in the play-offs. They finished this year 8-8, 1 win from the play-offs. Next year in the NFC you will again see at least 1 8-8 team in the play-offs, and a couple 9-7 teams, just like this year. And the packers will be one of them.

The little I've seen of Favre's play this past year, it seemed to me like it was the team hurting him, rather than the other way around.  If his heart's in it, then I'm glad he's sticking around for another year.  I hope he goes out on a better year than he had...

He's not hurting the team by his playing (well, most of the time). The problem is they can't rebuild or start a new era until he's gone. It's adding another year at least before they can have their 3rd dynasty.

i'm a huge Packers fan and im excited. the team's got potential, they really bounced back last season to go 8-8 and beat the bears their last game. things were really looking bleak in the beginning of the season.

in all honesty, and not cuz im bias cuz i'm a fan, i feel that they will make the playoffs. especially since in the NFC anything can happen. they still have a great offense with Ahman Green, Donald Driver, and even Greg Jennings looks like he has potential. if they have a good draft and beef up that defense i think they will be good.

i love brett favre, hes a real gamer, never gives up, has a cannon for an arm, and isnt afraid to take chances. hes also a major badass since he hasnt missed a game in so long an if i recall correctly, played with a broken thumb a few years back.

Brett Favre is only hurting the Packers at this point.

Gotta love having AJ Hawk on defense.  The Packers D can hang with the best of them.

And yes, I saw that commercial after the superbowl. That was great, it made me smile.

Anyway, I will agree that they have definite play-off potential. Brett can still play - I'm not saying he's always perfect, but I don't think he was the reason for the losses last season. With strong receivers, I believe he can still be a power-house in this game.
And who doesn't love watching him play when they're winning? He loves what he does & it shows
