This poll needs a neither or neutral option.
Not to be a fence-sitter, but I have to agree. We just don't know all the factors and hearing his press conference Saturday, it sounds (to me at least) that there ARE more factors involved.Quote:

He needs to quit playing volleyball with the press though.
I am no doubt losing respect for him. It didn't take Emmit Smith this long to decide, it didn't take Jerry Rice this long. I think he is just doing it to get the attention.
You're serious? This is a guy who for 16yrs now has done absolutly nothing, but play at an exceptional level, to draw any attention to himself.Quote:

It cant be an easy decison.
i want farve to retire......i want to see aaron rodgers play
Favre isn't doing it for attention. Secondly who cares how long other people took, everyone is different and have different situations.Quote:

Brett Favre is a gutsy, tough, but very average quarterback, who benefited from some great coaching and even greater supporting players.Quote:

I don't follow how the arm pumping and head butting is part of the Green Bay mystique, to me thats just a pasion for the game and being excited to play, it has nothing to do with being in a place like Green Bay
Average QB + Mystique = 2nd all-time in Attempts, Completions, TDs, & Yards ???
I have to respectfully disagree.
Actually Smith and Rice had their decision made for them......they were cut from their original team.Quote:

No he's not hurting them. The Packers already said they weren't looking to sign a free agent QB, and the draft hasn't happened yet.Quote:
