When you are young and exceptionally talented, you can afford to be a little reckless.
When you are past your prime and average, recklessness leads to losing.

I think he could keep playing with a better team, but the Packers aren't where he needs them to be in order to keep playing. I think he'll call it a career after this season.

I think he's just lost too much of his supporting cast to continually be great. Losing both awesome guards and your top receiver at once is tough to overcome. Ahman Green's not doing a thing this season, so Brett knows it's all on him. With their terrible defense he knows he has to put up 30ish points to have a chance and I think that's forcing some bad passes out of him.
Favre's probably my favorite NFL player. It is sad to see him going out like this. Too good of a player/guy for it to end this way.

The Packers front office sent a message when they drafted Aaron Rodgers in the 1st round and let a couple of their starting O-lineman go. They are rebuilding and planning for the future. Favre is only playing to win another championship. That won't be happening in Green Bay any time soon and I'd be surprised if he didn't retire after this year.
Losing Javon Walker to a season ending knee injury didn't help matters.

he's close to hanging it up.... it's gonna be a tough year but they started off slow last year and finished the season strong. Losing Walker doesn't help but the biggest thing is the fact that they lost two very good offensive lineman in the offseason and they haven't found replacements that can protect him. He has to understand that he can't make the same plays he used to but with Walker out someone needs to step up and Driver hasn't. Favre is going to be forced to make plays which means more INT's and probably more lost games. Green needs to hold onto the [censored]ing ball and he hasn't done that either. Their division is down this year so anything is possible.
EDIT: man I type slow
