OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

Calling Scott Campbell!

Favre is done but ... my ohh my:

What a story that comeback, in real terms, would be.

It certainly seems as if he's physically sound (in solid shape) but for the contact?

Brett Favre finds family, football fix in Mississippi

Lindsay H. Jones, USA TODAY Sports 12:29 p.m. EDT October 13, 2013

" Yes, he is indeed in perhaps the best physical condition of his life, on par with even his fittest days as a 20-something NFL superstar quarterback.

Favre is back to his playing weight, 220 pounds, thanks to a cardio regimen that includes 5-mile runs or long bike rides nearly every morning. His right arm hasn't lost much velocity, either, said Oak Grove players who have seen him sling it in practice.

Bus Cook, Favre's longtime agent, wasn't kidding when he said recently that Favre probably could still play in the NFL if he wanted to. But there is no want to."

GO PACK GO !

how long before we hear bus cook tell the media that "unnamed representatives" from the packers made an inquiry about his client?

Brett Favre, Packers reunion (in aftermath of the Aaron Rodgers injury) won’t happen

By Josh Sanchez - Nov 5th, 2013 at 10:51 am

" As soon as the Green Bay Packers watched quarterback Aaron Rodgers go down with an injury to his left collarbone, there was immediately concern about what the Packers would do if Rodgers was forced to miss significant time.

One of the ridiculous rumors was that the Packers would reach out to future Hall of Famer Brett Favre, but don’t get your hopes up for any kind of reunion.

According to Gabe Neitzel of ESPN Milwaukee, who reached out to Favre’s agent Bus Cook, the veteran quarterback is retired."

On Mike and Mike QB guru Jon Gruden just said the Pack should phone Brett...it really is amazing how much of an icon he had/has become despite his gaffes (had disturbing vision of the 4th and 26 game/OT nonsense only 3 points scored after the 1st quarter!!!)

It sounded like he had tongue halfway in cheek when he said it.

[Patler]

Anyone who seriously thinks Favre should be an option must not have watched his last year in MN, before he was injured.

OK I'll bite.

Seneca Wallace (since 2010) or Brett Favre (2010) = a toss up ?

Nope. I'd take Brett Favre yesterday over Seneca Wallace today.

Let's see how we all feel come next Sunday evening. The Packers are going to have to fight for their collective lives to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles with Seneca Wallace under center. This next game will be a true measure of the strength and depth of our team.

Incidently some favourable good news. Vegas has us as early week 1.5 point favourites over the Eagles.

GO PACKERS !

Absolutely, Favre now is still 1000 times the QB Wallace ever was on his best day. That said, it's crazy that some people have to keep dredging this up, then they criticize Favre for not being able to let go.

how can you honestly say that favre is 1000 times better right now?

the last time we saw him play he was absolute shit. 11 TDs, 19ints, a career lows completion %.

many people were even thinking he got benched at the end of the season the whole injury story was just a cover. and now he hasn't played in 3 years

how the hell can anyone truthfully cay favre is better then anyone at this point

bart starr is still alive, he was good when he played for us, age doesn't matter

lets give bart a call

Favre at his worst is still better than Wallace at his best, and Wallace is far from his best these days. In the very least Favre still has a more powerful arm than Wallace and he's 11 years older. Starr probably has a better arm than Wallace also.

It is assertions like this that are stupid. We all know that BF was the better QB over his whole career but 3 years later at 43 who knows?

Just to prove you wrong:

BF - 26/44 281y 2TDs 6INTs 53.5 QBR STL Playoff Game
BF - 17/32 153y 0TDs 2INTs 40.2 QBR Bears-Pack 2007

I don`t believe that when Brett Favre is selected as a first ballot HOFer he`ll be remembered for those very poor outings.

What rings strange to me is why would anyone ... moreso ... a Green Bay Packer fan? It`s crap like that that always burns my ass as a Packer fan viewing other Packer fans.

It`s stuff like that that spells it out clearly. `

That if Brett Favre ever seriously considered any attention or offer to consider a return to the Green Bay Packers. He`d be sadly mistaken in terms of any gratitude on behalf of those Packer fans that for the most part hold no sense of real appreciation for all he gave to the Green Bay Packers as the dedicated and resilient QB and competitor that he was.
