Ironically enough, just hours after the previous blog post was published it was reported that Brett Favre already has the itch to play football again. With Aaron Rodgers set to take over and the team ready to move on from the Brett Favre era, Favre throws a kink into everything. The team hasn’t even begun training camp and he’s already itching to play? That was fast. Favre did send a text to a local paper that it was just a rumor, but it seems like most people are not buying that.
There’s no denying that there are tons of fans in Green Bay that would kill for another season of Brett Favre; the guy is a living legend. But does there come a point where you just need to move on? Favre has spent the past few off-seasons wavering about whether he was going to retire, keeping the team in a state of limbo. He retired, somewhat convincingly, after a tough playoff loss to the Giants in this year’s NFC title game. If he changes his mind returns, what is that going to do to the team? I know one guy who will not be happy, Rodgers. This kid looks ready to take the reins and they need him to start getting some game experience if he’s going to be their quarterback of the future. Favre had a great run, but he’s got to start thinking about other people instead of just himself. Plus, what if he comes back and throws up a stinker of a season? What will that do to his legacy?
