Brett Favre Reverses Retirement Decision
Another Return for the Vikings' Quarterback
Normally, when Favre comes back from retirement, he doesn't do so well, and that was one of the reasons he was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Vikings. It seemed like he was retiring just to gain sympathy for that past season so people would say that he was tired last season and was about to retire anyway. The retirement would be an excuse to not blame him for the past bleak season. However, last season with the Vikings was different. Favre actually had a great season, and carried his team to the playoffs.
This year, it is hard to say how Favre will fare. Given his not-too-perfect health, I doubt he will be able to repeat his success of last season, let alone surpass it. I believe that he won't achieve his goal of getting a Super Bowl win this year, and that it is best that he retires indefinitely after this season. It wouldn't be worth it if he gets injured due to his weak ankle and has a bad season. Having a disability for the reason of his life is horrible compared to living your life without winning a Super Bowl but still being a great quarterback.
So, Brett Favre has come back yet again to the NFL after declaring retirement at the end of last year. His trek to achieve a Super Bowl win will start again this year, and will probably extend to next year. His health problems are a big hurdle to overcome, and his age isn't helping his football that much either. 2011 will probably not be the year for him, but let's see how he does.

Post a CommentThe problem is that Brett Farve is simply looking for a way to avoid doing the summer training camp sessions. That's why he keeps feigning this "retirement" talk which we can no longer trust.
