He thought he was ready to give it up, but he wasn't. Brett Favre has never missed a start in Packers uniform, and even came and played in the wake of his father's death. Brett Favre gave everything he had to the Packers franchise. He's earned some leeway. Not to mention he's flat out just a better QB then Aaron Rodgers. |
They might have won the game against the Giants last year if Rodgers was playing. That was a lousy effort from Favre, and they kept it close in spite of him.
Favre is a hall of famer and a true tough guy of the sport but outside of last year he had been playing average to poor the last several seasons. He received a free pass from the media and the fans despite making terrible decisions, throwing a ton of interceptions, and at times playing like a rookie qb.
Its fine if he wants to come back but he has put the Packers in a bad situation, so its kind of lame that he is now saying he wants to leave because he does not feel welcome.
