Brett Favres retirement


Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever live. He’s won one Superbowl and 3 MVP awards. He is the greatest Packers player in the last few decades. On March 3rd he decided to retire again, but according to MSNBC “Favre Breaks His Silence,” Brett said he wants to return to football and wants to play for the Packers. The Packers coach and GM said that the starter for the beginning of the season will be Aaron Rodgers and not Brett Favre. “You’re telling me playing here is not and option,” says Brett Favre on the subject of him going back to the Packers. The coach and GM of the Packers said “ Well playing here is not an option, but we can’t envision you playing for another team.” The Packers are clearly stating that they just want him to retire to protect his legacy.
Brett Favre clearly doesn’t want to retire and thinks he has another good year left in him. In reality Brett really might have another year in him, but his team really would not be able to win the Superbowl with all the pressure of it being Favres last season. Like last year the Packers got overwhelmed in the playoffs and collapsed against the Giants. So even though Favre may want to come back and play the Packers have a better shot with Aaron Rodgers, and the Packers already have the offense set up for Aaron to take over. If this article was about a player like Drew Bledsoe then it wouldn’t get any attention but the story will get attention because when people look at Favre the see a face of commitment and dedication.
