Brett Favre deal or no deal?

*Rambos* · #1 (**permalink**) -11-04-2006

Brett just last year was so critical of one if his team mates when he held out last year. Are you gaining or losing respect for Farve as he is slow to make decide?

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.

This statement is very misleading. Favre isn't holding out for more money like Walker was. Favre is just trying to decide whether to play another year. Two totally different scenerios, no comparison at all.

Well, if Katrina hadn't happened I bet he would know by now what his answer would be. However, that storm is still wreaking havoc in that area so maybe that's why he's taking his time.

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.

On one hand hes a gamer who can still play. On the other he has nothing left to prove and a team that is rebuilding.

It cant be an easy decison.

Favre isn't doing it for attention. Secondly who cares how long other people took, everyone is different and have different situations.

Exceptional level? Come on. The guy has benefited from the Green Bay mystique. All that head butting his linemen, arm pumping, throwing it up for grabs and luckily having his receiver chasing after the throw is all part of the mystique. Brett Favre is a gutsy, tough, but very average quarterback, who benefited from some great coaching and even greater supporting players.

I disagree, average quaterbacks don't do the things that Brett has done. They don't start for 16yrs, they don't lead fourth quater combacks, they don't command the level of respect that he does, an average quaterback just doesn't do thoes things.

I don'k know any of the numbers, but you don't need them to know that he is an exceptional player.

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.

But he is hurting the team because they may want to sign another QB or take one in the draft to back up Rodgers or compete for the job.

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.
