Actually, your out of hand comment lacks an intelligent response. My point is as follows:

The Green Bay Packers have not been a contender for several years. It is a team that needs to back off and try to rebuild for a year or two.

Brett Favre is a livining legend in GB (well deserved) and as long as he is still there, they will just keep trying to put a band aid on the problem to keep him happy....

What they need to do is rip the band aid off and let the wound heal for a season or two.

Brett Favre still has talent and could be a contributor to MANY teams.... but wouldn't that be like Darrell Green deciding he wanted to play longer than the Skins would allow and going to finish up his years in Oakland?

So, yes.... It is an intelligent school of thought that says Brett Favre should retire. Whether you agree or not... more importantly, whether Brett agrees or not.
