Blogging community takes on Favre situation

FOXSports.com Community: Strahan ... or Barber?
|
For what it's worth to the Packers, ponder this thought:
I'm sure the Giants are really happy that despite his skipping training camp amid talks of retirement, that Michael Strahan came back for one last season to give the team a huge on-field and emotional lift for their defensive run in winning the Super Bowl. Even with all the drama and speculation it worked out.
Contrary to that, perhaps Favre has become the Packers version of Tiki Barber and maybe both sides moving on would be all for the best.
However a fair warning, once a guy the ilk of Favre is gone especially at the QB position, it is awfully difficult to replace him.
Bleacher Report: No backup plan
So the Packers management thinks they can simply bring back Brett Favre as a backup and resolve this looming public relations war with the quarterback?
A quarterback who is coming off one of his best seasons stat-wise last year. A quarterback who can summon enough public support nationwide to have the Packers GM and coach for lunch in a public relations scrap.
Brett Favre is not backup material! Brett Favre is Brett Favre!
Yardbarker: Sick and tired of this
Let me start off by saying that I am a die-hard Packers fan; I was born with a cheesehead on. I'm just sick of hearing about how Brett Favre wants to come back and with which team.
If it's not rumors, it's text messages or submitted letters. I can't take it anymore. Brett, you retired, DEAL WITH IT!
If you still weren't sure, don't deliver a tearful retirement speech in which all of Wisconsin and most of the football world cried with you. The only person tarnishing your legacy is you.
Yes, you still have the ability to play at age 38, but why come back and risk injury for another year? Didn't anyone tell you that once you retire, it should be for good, not four months. Read full story . . .
