Brett Favre's best just isn't good enough anymore. He also has a poor team surrounding him. Should he retire?

I agree that he is playing for Marino's record now.  As long as he is still active, Green Bay will not be able to groom a new quarterback, which they desperately need to do.  The spectacle that he pulled last year keeping the team hanging while he made up his mind whether or  not to play this year was ridiculous.

50/50 chance right now.  He probably feels like he can still compete and as a competitor, he doesn't want to go out with such an aweful season.  However, with all the off field tragedies and firing of Mike Sherman, he very well may call it quits.

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

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.

YES Matt Hasselbeck could be the the next Brett Favre he's a good guarterback good read's an instict. Brett's one damn good guarterback you cannot knock him but we all see what SEATTLE can bring to the table Hasselbeck also has a strong arm and with the running game mix in as a combo he can and will pick team's apart!!!!!

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

I think he should return.\n\nLook, last season he didnt have Ahman Green, or Javon Walker which were a major part of his offensive sheme 2 years ago. He is still one the best QB's ever and a without a doubt first ballot HOFer.  Brett Favre could still be an efficient passer given the right personel around him.When teams know you are gonna throw every play because you have no other choice (due to lack of a good running game) then of course they can run more Dime and Nickel packages at you. I believe Brett Favre has done enough for GB that he can reitre when he damn well pleases. I am not a GB fan, in fact I hate the Packers, but I repect Brett Favre and whatever dicision he makes is probably for the best.

I think the Packers are in for another fairly dismal season, though it should be better than last year. Their defense is pretty solid, especially considering the additions they made this offseason. The offense is going to consider to struggle though. Their line is still in bad shape, which is problem number one. The WR situation is bad. Donald Driver is now the #1 receiver, but he's more suited to be a #2. The second receiver will now be a choice between Ferguson and Chatman, which is not a great choice either way. Ahman Green is back, but he's going to have to prove that he can still play after the last couple years. His career may be all but over based on the last two season, but he may be able to come out and surpise people by putting up solid numbers. The combination of the above problems leads to the biggest problem; Brett Favre. He has no protection, a weak receving corps, an undetermined running game, and the biggest problem of all, Favres lack of restraint. The "gunslinger" thing was fine when he was younger and had a great offense around him. However, as he's gotten older and the offense has deteriorated, he has refused to recognize that he has to adjust his game. I think his poor decision making will end up costing the Packers a couple games this year, and maybe more importantly, his presence will keep Rogers from getting the game-time that he needs to start developing into their future QB. That will end up setting GB behind another year in their rebuilding process.

He'll make it sometime. \n\nBut still, I think that it's wrong that he's making the Packers wait. They should be able to persue other QBs if he isn't coming back, and while he isn't holding them hostage, his indecision is affecting the team.

Brady doesn't have the physical tools and talent that Favre has. He doesn't have a cannon for an arm, and he doesn't have the strength to force plays like Favre can. That being said, Brady is a much smarter QB than Favre, for exactly those reasons. He DOESN'T try to force plays. Favre got away with the gunslinger crap when he was younger and when he had upper-level receivers, but it's been his downfall for the last few years. Favre makes a lot of costly mistakes trying to thread passes into heavy coverage, and it ends up leading to a lot of INT's and has cost the Packers more than a couple games. Brady doesn't make those mistakes. He is consistent and spreads the ball around much better than Favre does (which is why NE's receivers suck for fantasy football). He recognizes that you can't make something happen on every play, and that sometimes it's better to just throw it away or take the 2 or 3 yard dump route. It's too early to say that Brady is better than Favre, but I think he's on track to be. By the way, I hate both teams so I have no personal stake in any of this.

he just commented to the media the other day something to the effect that he'd really like to play another season but only if the packers started winning again.  i don't know if that's a yes or a no but it sure sounds like a definite maybe.  i'd really like to see him back for one more season because i think the past few years have been pretty rough for him with all the challenges in his personal life. i think they could have an awesome season if they could just stay focused on the game.

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.

KEEP HIM. He had one bad year, all the greats have them(look at Favre)
