In the back of my mind I always knew it would end for "God" Favre like this. Here is the thing about Favre he is a top 10 Quarterback of all time. Where does he fall in that Top 10 that is for you to decide, but the fact of the matter is he is old. He has started 900 games in a row and has taken a ton of hits. Personally I think what he did with the Jets was amazing and beyond what I thought he was capable of doing. It was unrealistic to think Favre at his age, going to a new team and a new system could lead the Jets deep into the playoffs. Even before they beat the Titans you could see he was losing some steam on his arm. Similar to a pitcher who is use to throwing 99MPHs fastballs but all of a sudden loses three or four MPHs once a QB loses his fastball so to speak then you know it is time to move on.
Favre's arm was his gift and his curse. With an arm like Favre's he could get away with passes that other QBs couldn't, but in the end his arm betrayed him and with that the playoff hopes of the Jets. I honestly hope this is the last time we see Favre on a football field. He was a great player, but it is time. It was obvious to me anyway that he wasn't having a good time playing with the Jets. How could he? Brett Favre and NYC just don't mix. He is use to be treated like a legend not just another player. He is use to being the center of the universe in Green Bay, but in NY he is just another celebrity.
In the end no one will remember him throwing those horrible INTs and getting "Jacked Up" on his last NFL play. In ten years him playing with the Jets will be a footnote in his career like many other legends that played their last game with other teams. At some point it is just over and that time has come for Brett Favre because even a "God" has to rest on Sunday.
Time to take a seat Brett
Does Brett really hate his wife SO much that he refuses to retire and spend more time with her?
