He will announce that he has no desire to play for the Packers, because they did nothing in this past offseason to put a strong team around him.  If he plays, he'll get his brains beat in, game after game, loss after loss.  THE PACKERS SUCK HARD

I agree with the others in the respect that he's going to need some help from the line if he does come back another year - which I think he will.\n\nHe's very kid-like in spirit and has only known football all his life. The way he talks sounds as if it would be hard for him to sit at home and watch games right now. He won't be finished with professional football until experts generally agree that he can't compete.\n\nIt was hard for me to stop playing in high school. He's treated like a god in the NFL; walking away from the excitement, the swooning, the royal treatment and traveling the globe in the name of his favorite game might be too big of a step for him right now (as long as he can still move).

They have to keep him until 2008, at which time, I think he'll retire.  He said he wanted to finish his career in Cincinnati.

The Packers will continue to play, well... like the Packers.\n\nThey will find their groove about every 3rd game and score 30+ points, and the following week will allow 30+ points and score less than 7. \n\nThey are a roller coaster, and it all depends on Brett's focus. \n\nWhen  he is off, he is WAY off. When he is on, he is a Super Bowl, Pro Bowl, Hall of Fame QB.\n\nSo in short, they will win 30-40% (or as close as they can get) the remainder of the year.

I am guessing Favre. I haven't heard nothing about McNair. They both should retire though.

Considering you've got Ken Hitchcock sitting out there...assuming he would want the job...I doubt you're seeing anything permanent.\n\nJust hope that Mike Keenan doesn't get this job.  He's good for the first six months he's there, but then disaster hits.

I think he'll make it and get fired two hours after the final game of the season.\n\nFor more on the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

No he shouldnt.  He is (only) 37 years old and QB's can easily play to 40, especially for Favre who has caught the Ripken safety bug on being able to play as long as he has.\n\nHe is within a season or two of some very important passing records.\n\nThat being said, I think he would be better off on a contender as GB needs to find out if Rodgers it the guy or not.  You can't judge Rodgers' career on a partial game.  \n\nI'm trying to figure out what team he would be a good fit for, maybe Carolina, Jacksonville, or Denver next season, but chances are, he will finish his career in GB because he realizes his place in history and even though he started his NFL career with Atlanta, he wants to finish it with GB.\n\nWhile I am a die hard Lions fan, I too have enjoyed watching Favre play for the last 10+ seasons and hope he breaks the records held by Marino.

No...Brett Favre is washed up and the Packers are a weak team this season.\n\nBTW - What does this have to do with Water Sports?

Hard to say.  Not being as good as he was may not be the same as not being better than the next guy that'll take his place.  The guy is a true competitor, and knows how to win.  I'd personally like to see him retire just because if he does it now, he doesn't run the risk of tarnishing his reputation, but then again, I stopped playing football after high school, so who really knows what its like playing at that level?  Maybe the thought of not doing it, or the thought that just one more chance and he can turn it all around is too strong to ignore for him.  I just hope it ends well, and when he does retire, that people remember how great he was, not how badly things ended.

Nice predictions but I have to dissagree with Brett Farve.  He will never play anywhere but Green Bay!  He would retire if traded.

Favre got a short shrift this season with all the Packers' injuries. I've always liked watching him play, no matter how maddening he can be with the gunslinging and the picks, because he has always seemed refreshingly honest about his love and passion for the game. I've been a fan of the man since the Super Bowl win over New England - after he ran off the field with his helmet in the air and the look of an 8-year-old kid on his face, how could anyone not like him?\n\nI wouldn't be surprised if he did retire this year, though I'd hate to see him go out on this note.

Brett farve isnt retired. Elway is the best because he retired  on top.

I believe he is.  He has had an impressive career but he said last season he would be going.  I would like to state for the record too, to all the naysayers who answered this question, that Brett Favre is one of the best quarterbacks who has ever played the game and he has a genuine love of the game.  You don't see that with a lot of the money hungry players out there today. He has class, he has a killer arm STILL, and when he is ready to leave, it will be a sad day in the NFL.

Brett Favre is deciding on whether to return for 1 more year or retire. The backups are both young and inexperienced, Aaron Rodgers from the University of Califonia and Craig Nall from Northwestern State.

You always get those butt munches that say Brett must retire.  I am sick to death of it!  He'll retire when he is ready!  You would think these posters on here are fricking coaches who know something, but they are just average morons!  Packers did give it away.  Favre could have been benched in the second half of that game.  But Buffalo, they are 3-5 and going to Indy!  Talk about the one two punch there!  Should be a slaughter.\nI think McCarthy is a good choice and hell, he is human!  People make mistakes and his playcalling, while not perfect-had been good.  I knew going into the damn game the only way we were gonna win was to not turn the damn ball over!
