| 29th September, 2005 - 11:41 am |  PackersNews.com - If Brett Favre seriously considered retiring last season after winning the NFC North Division, there?s no telling how a .500 or lower finish in 2005 might influence whether he returns as the Green Bay Packers? quarterback in 2006.
The 0-3 Packers might be on their way to their worst season since 1991, when they went 4-12. If they don?t recover, there could be substantial fallout, and one of the major issues will be whether Favre will return for his 16th NFL season, when he?ll be going on 37.
?I think Brett loves football,? said Ted Thompson, the Packers? general manager. ?At some point, he?ll go out on his own terms, and that?s the way it?s supposed to be. But I don?t know that you can jump to that conclusion (he?ll retire) because we lost three games here.?
Favre on Wednesday wouldn?t give much indication whether the Packers? performance will be a major factor in whether he returns in ?06. He said he felt more uncertainty going into this season about how the team would perform than in any past year, which suggests he considered the possibility the team could slip when he decided to return.
?At 0-3, I think most people would say, ?He?s gone after this year, they may not even want him back? or whatever,? Favre said. ?I haven?t even thought about it, really. I?d much rather be 3-0, believe me. But if I was sitting here and we were 3-0, I don?t think in the back of my mind I?d be saying I?m definitely coming back because we?re 3-0. I?m just going to take it game by game and try to get this back on track and see what happens.? [READ] |
