Brett Favre, To Retire Or To Not?

To retire or to not? That is the question that we are all wondering what Brett Favre's answer will be. He loves the media attention and why not? He has started 306 consecutive games in the NFL, every game since the 4th game of the 1992 season, and has continued to prove that no matter what age you are in the NFL you can succeed. He may have thrown an interception in his last game as a Green Bay Packer and Minnesota Viking but he is still the top quarterback, besides Peyton Manning, of the last twenty years to play in the NFL. Tom Brady needs to cheat to win so we will just consider him out of the conversation. Brett Favre has been the only player in the NFL to beat every team, accomplished this year with a victory against the Green Bay Packers. He has also been an 11 time Pro Bowler for a Quarterback. When was the last time a quarterback has made the pro bowl more than ten times as a Quarterback?

Brett Favre is no question a Hall of Famer. He won Super Bowl 31, yeah that was a while ago, so he got his ring. He will now not be considered something similar to Dan Marino who won zero Super Bowls. He has been on the all pro roster six time (first and second team). The one thing that I am not sure he can live with is having his last pass with the Vikings be an interception. He did that with the Packers and Jets but he decided to come back. I compare him to Cal Ripken Jr. He has obtained a streak of playing consecutive games that is almost impossible to break. Does he want to continue to extend that streak or no?

As I said earlier, he has beaten every team in the NFL. Nobody else can say they have done that. He has been selected to more Pro Bowls than humans have fingers and already won a Super Bowl. What else does he have to prove? He is 40 years old and has proven that he is one of the toughest players in NFL history. Will he come back to the NFL? That is the question we are going to be thinking about this offseason.
