Is Favre ready for retirement?

 

Brett Favre is a well respected man in the NFL, 17 years playing professionally says alot about a quarterback that has built a Hall Of Fame career.

But after all this years, Favre seems to be near his retirement, as he is 38 and even has a daughter in college, and all the injuries from the past are likely to forced him to do so.

His strenght has really diminished lately and this just left to think that he might as well have retired 2 years ago when he spoke about it with his former Packers coach Mike Holmgren, but he decided to return for one more season, and then one more.

But people always remember the last thing you did and I think he doesn’t want to be remembered as a weak and aged quarterback, he should seriously consider leaving the game now and for good.

Even though he’s old, critics still have alot of respect for him, proof of that is the vote that he received and that didn’t allowed Tom Brady to become this season’s MVP in a unanimous way.

Many regards him as the best quarterback to ever play the game and to be eager to play after almost two decades, and having gone through personal difficulties like drug addiction, the death of his father and his wife’s battle against cancer is remarkable, he is truly an institution at Green Bay.

Favre, is the only three-time AP MVP in NFL history and his records include: most career NFL touchdown passes (442), most career NFL passing yards (61,655), most career pass completions (5,377), most career pass attempts (8,758), most career NFL interceptions thrown (288), most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks (253, 273 total starts including playoffs), and most career victories as a starting quarterback (160)

Leading the Packers to this years Superbowl and win it, might seal an amazing career, let’s see how much does he have to offer.
