CCIowitz,
When are you ever going to learn how to spell, it's "Favre." |

Favre's not done, but he can't carry a team anymore. Ironically, he's much like Elway when he finally won the Super Bowls: perfectly capable of leading a great team, completely incapable of carrying a bad one.
Example: Green Bay is going to suck this year because about 20 of their other starters don't belong in the NFL. However, what if he played for the Bears this year? With a decent running game, Mushin Muhammad, and a pretty good defense nehind him, is there any doubt he could still take a team like that to at least the playoffs?

I agree with the elway comparison, but I would have doubts about him locking up a playoff berth. HE has played badly by himself, independent of his team not being as good. Chicago's defense would be a big upgrade, but I'm not sure that their offense is any better to surround Favre. There's no evidence that he would stop forcing passes (it took him to glory and is now dragging him into retirement)

Fair enough, jwins, maybe he has completely jumped the shark, I don't know. But he did take a pretty mediocre team to the playoffs just last year, so I guess I am of the opinion that, if surrounded by better personnel, and a defense that could bail him out once in a while, he couldn't do the same this year.

I think it could happen, I just wouldn't count on it.
Also, Favre is one of the dumbest spellings ever.
