Should Brett Favre retire?

Brett at 50 is still going to be one of the best in the game. They guy should stay as long as he wants. He's a three time MVP, a leader, and a football player until he dies. His arm is sharp, his mental awareness is still good. He just needs a line and a supportive running game. Look at John Elway, as his career got longer they took a lot of the pressure off of Elway by giving  him a great running game. That is not happening for Brett, he's still carrying the entire team. He's a little past his prime to be carrying a bunch of lazy players. And on top of it all his line is lucky to give him 2-3 seconds in the pocket. He's almost running like David Carr is in Houston. And his running game is just horrible! With a better team around him, Brett will be back, if not I'm sure he'll retire. But like I said, he's still one of the best in the game. Just like Junior Seau, Mark Brunell, and Orlando Pace. Old men who just have football in their blood - they are all still great, just a bit past their prime.

Brett Favre is easily one of the top 5 QB's of all time..Kurt Warner had 3 good seasons.

I think so, their schedule doesn't look that difficult this year and I don't think Rodgers is ready, and am not sure he will even be a good pro QB, all the other Jeff Tedford QBs have not performed up to expectations (Boller, Harrington).  The new guys on the offensive line have now had a full year with the team, and the odds of them losing as many RBs and WRs to injury as last year are slim to none.  Favre wants to go out a winner, not with the worst season of his career.  I wouldn't be suprised if he cut back on some of his high risk throws this year.

I will say yes, he already is a Hall of Fame player. That said, he should also retire, though it would be tough to do because of injury. He has had a great career, and it would be foolish for him to risk his long-term health further.

I would make sure Rodgers stays in the mix and has a say to keep up his attutude. I would keep him around for quite awhile, he seems to have a very mature attitiude about this thing and I like a level headed guy... Favre can still play but he will not commit long term and you must always have a contingency plan. Rodgers is still a young guy and you always need good backup at that position. I know the Pack have been very fortunate with Favre but I would caution on the side of error and keep Rodgers.

In my opinion, he will not end up signing with a team and retire for good.  I think last year was the first time ever he began to look "old" on the mound.  His age has finally caught up to him, and I think he realizes that, and that is why he will retire.

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!

He's done. He needs to retire so he doesn't embarrass himself again, or actually his team!

He will be back. Favre is to much of a competitor to go out on a sour note such as this season.

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?

Being born and raised in Wisconsin, I am a lifetime Packers fan. I appreciate what Brett has done for the Packers' but if he wasn't so stuck on himself thinking that he is what makes or breaks the team (a team is strongest when there is unity), then I believe that he could help the "rebuilding" Packers. They (the Packers) need to rely on each others strengths and pull together as a whole to accomplish going all the way to the superbowl and not rely on the abilities (or seemingly declining abilities) of one man. One man is weak even at his best. If Brett used his God given abilities to glorify God, there is no telling what heights he could have risen to. If the Packers look to Brett as the center of their "rebuilding process" and put the weight on his shoulders with the problems already in his life, then I think we're in for a long season, but if the Packers can get Bret to be a part of the Packers as a whole , then I think we'll have a winning combination.

He should. The Packers are in a rebuilding phase and why would you want to rebuild around a QB that will only be there for another year.

Yes, Barry Bonds should retire. Basseball is a team sport. It seems that Bonds is only intrested in breaking the homerun record and not the welfare of his team. He is over rated.
