Was this the right time for Brett Favre to walk away?
Editor:
This was something that should have happened a few years ago. Yes, we got to see the best of Brett Favre this year, and it was a memorable run, but anything less than a Super Bowl victory this year was a failure. And if Brett continues to put off retirement every year, Aaron Rodgers, the QB of the future, may have to retire before he does! You cannot continue to put the learning process of the future Packers on hold much longer. He ended his final playoff game on a bad note, costing his team the victory and he could not win in the big games this year.
He broke every passing record still in the books. He has a Super Bowl victory under his belt already. It was great while it lasted, but this is Aaron Rodgers’ team now. Brett, go spend time with your wife, walk away from the game instead of limping away and leave us with the great memories you gave us over the years. And to those people who say that his retirement isn’t genuine, you did not see his emotional news conference last Thursday. Brett Favre is done.

Ryan, you and I both know this wasn’t time for #4 to walk away. Besides his reason for being mentally tired and worn down, Brett Favre had what he wanted. A team he could work with that was youthful and was a PLAYOFF TEAM. And now they are left with Aaron Rodgers? You stay one more year, make another run into the playoffs and then retire on top.
