OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Kiwon]

Come on man, maybe you did it on purpose, but even if I have strong dislike for the man at the moment, it still annoys me to see his name spelled wrong. It's Favre. What's really hilarious actually is the morons you see on youtube or foxsports who act like they are in love with him and yet they don't even know how to spell it.

Oh and sorry for bumping the thread. I just want to see a FOUR hundred page thread. Get it? The legend lives on. DAYUM!

FARVE or FAVRE......it doesn't matter. It's the guy who wears WRANGLER JEANS!!!!

I LOVE my Wranglers!!!

Nah, I'm cool with Brett. I've got a 4-inch figurine of him somewhere around here.

That's a 'bobblehead' of another color

Who is dat fella Brett Farve? Never heard of him? Anyone!?? Is he a distant cousin of former Packer great QB...Brett Favre? Just wondering. (-:

On this thread.

It should not die till Brett Favre dies. Let's simply deal with it as sensable men and women. Even have some fun with it at noones expense. If the thread cause anyone undue strain,stress or anxiety ignore the thread. Too simple. Place a total focus on this picture.

GO PACKERS !

This thread will die long before Brett unless he does something stupid (I'm not discounting that possibility, now). Favre retired and it appears this time it might just stick (because if it doesn't no one will hire him anyway). His relevance will diminish except among those who only want to troll and dig up the past (you can already see it happening). I just make fun of the laughingstock he's made of himself and get on with rooting for my team. The one he tried so hard to hurt because of a stupid grudge.

Here is a scary thought and a topic that I have been thinkin making a thread on but I wanted to do some research on.

3 years ago at this time Favre was mulling his (first) retirement. After the loss to the Giants, he announced his retirement on March 8. Imagine if he had simply said "yes I will be back." What would the Packers have done? Would Rodgers have pushed for a trade? I have been meaning to go back and look at the QB situations at that time. Would MM have announced an open QB competition? It would have been difficult for even the most ardent MM supporters to support that move after Favre's 2007 season.

The idea has been mentioned before, but in some ways Favre's waffling ways were a gift to MM and TT. Favre gave them an excuse to move forward with Rodgers while not coming across as total idiots. Ya, it created a huge rift and the effects are still being felt but can you imagine Rodgers in another uniform right now??

THANKSBRETT

[Joemailman]

Yep, Favre's retirement got TT out of a real bind. Hard to say what he would have done with Rodgers, because it would have been incredibly difficult not to bring Favre back. One thing is for sure. TT will never talk about it, so all we can do is speculate.

A worthwhile fucking cause if I've ever seen one.

Why should any thread die unless it becomes so maligning or sick for this forum that to continue it would be obviouly detrimentlle to the overall good health and moral of PackerRats?

It certainly shouldn't die because posters, like you MJ, feel as you do about Brett Favre and for whatever reason (s) you choose to judge him. He's a human being he made errors. On that note he let many of us down. That doesn't mean he needs to be banished forever at PackerRats and this thread serves the purpose to post any info. on Favre and not populate the other threads with whatever news comes out on him.

On the flip side' of those character issues and the rest of the speculations RE: his departure fr. Green Bay:

Brett Favre was once one of the greatest Packer QB's. He'll be in the HOF. His resume as an NFL QB is outstanding. The positives can be listed on and on. I see no 'real' problem with this thread living on.

Here's a clear solution for you MJ and those that are like you and annoyed by this thread:

** Ignore this thread MJ. Would you have a difficult time doing that? That hard for you? if so then maybe PM your friends and make a pact to go there **. Sort of a mutual support group. to boycott this thread and never post too or respond to any post in it. Ignore this thread don't whine about it's existance.

Allow those of us who see no issue with this thread some PEACE about it's existance and standing here.

My suggestions are too logical MJ. (-: Everyone ' wins '.

GO PACKERS!

Nothing like fucking when it's worthwhile....

This SB victory brings new perspective to the Favre debate. Clearly since Bob Harlan hired Ron Wolf and changed the way football is operated in Green Bay, the Packers were going to be strong with our without Favre. This proves the without part of that sentence.

He had a long, accomplished career, but the idol worship seems to be rightfully tossed out after this Packer win and Favre loss.


I'd summarize Favre this way. He played a really long time, so long that it's legendary. He was a gunslinger who made a lot of tight risky throws. His interceptions cost him and his team a lot of big games. His arrogance and attitude separated himself from the team for several years. He was a really good QB for a long time and over time he put up outrageous career numbers. However, for all that he accumulated over time, he was always one of about 10 really good QB's in the league and he always could have been replaced by another really good QB. He was never irreplacable. Thompson replaced him in one try and had he not gotten Rodgers he would have replaced him anyway. He was never irreplacable or special in that regard. He was always overrated and replaceable in Green Bay.

And that's not even a knock. I feel that way about any QB. Put Palmer in NE and Brady in Cinci. I don't know if Palmer gets 3 rings, but I guarantee you Brady doesn't. Brady won with great defenses and damn good ST's. Palmer never had either.

[woodbuck27]

hahaaha

Unbelievable. This thread at almost '400' pages. An outstanding example of the interest that Brett Favre draws.

He was once arguably 'the Icon' of the NFL. He'll always get attention.

[RashanGary]

I enjoy the Favre debate. As time goes by, I'll eventually be one of hte old timers that talks about how overrated he was. I was big fan of a lot of those teams and the credit Favre took from his teammates over the years with his dramatic, "me me" personality is always something I will remind people of when we look back on those great teams that always seemed to fall short with a bone headed interception.

[easy cheesy]

I am SICK, SICK, SICK of listening to the FAVRE crap!!!! SICK OF IT!!!! He brought us ONE RING.... he has multiple SELF CENTRIC STATS... but ONE RING to the team... You know... I don't care who flames me.... I can be schooled by many of the intelligent, Packer educated folks on this board... but this guy NEEDS TO GO AWAY already! It's a new day... it's a new team... it's a new era... Brett Favre doesn't bring "dynasty" to my mind... how could he with one fucking ring... anywhoo.... he seems like a now annointed irrelevent individual who is trying desparately to cling to his "relevancy".... just sayin'... blechhhh....
