Top 5 Reasons Favre Should Stay Retired

5. He cried during his retirement speech. There is NO crying in football. You quit:you cry:you stay home.

4. Diminished arm strength. How many times did we see Jennings and Jones have to come back or stop for a deep ball?

3. Sunday, December 23, 2007. Trip to Chicago gets windy and cold, and there is a look in Favre’s eyes and an expression on his face that reads “it’s too cold and I don’t want to be here”. The first time I’ve ever seen it on Favre during a game.

2. At some point the games must end. 17 years is a long time. Not nearly as long as the last couple when the Favre nation wasn’t sure if he’d come back for another year or not. Time for the games to stop, you made a choice, back it up.

1. Sunday, January 20, 2008. There is the look again; it’s all over his face. He looks cold and old and there is no joy. No heart. The thrill is gone, the joy is gone. The Favre we know is gone.

Top 5 Reasons Favre Should Return to the Packers

5. 13-3. The Bears had their number and an injury hurt their chances vs. the cowboys, but a tie for best record in the league should warrant another year.

4. The Receiving Core. Never in his 17 year career has he had a better set of receivers than last year. The chemistry is there and it only got better as the season went on.

3. 275. 442. 61,655. 160. 3. 1. Those would be starts, TDs, Yards, Wins, MVPs and the big SUPER BOWL WIN. It took 30 years for a 3rd super bowl win and it’s a risk to think it won’t take that long again.

2. 16 years of everything he had. Through rain, snow, broken bones, cancer, family deaths and just about everything else that could happen to a guy, he was there for his team. One of the best of all time, respect alone for everything he’s done for the Packers should have Management honoring his request to play again. Hey, they let Jordan back and look what happened.

1. He’s BRETT FAVRE! One of the top 5 quarterbacks of all time, we all deserve one more year!
