[QUOTE="Philtration, post: 37263, member: 213"] [color=cyan]Why would Favre have to come back to prove anything? His stats will make him a first ballot hall of famer, he has a Super Bowl ring and 3 MVPs. He does not have to try and turn back the clock for anyone including himself. Not every player can finish his career with a fairy tale ending. Very few of them do. Elway went out on top but his skills had fallen off and the Broncos had become a running team at that point. Do you remember Willy Mays tripping over first base as an old man? How about Dr. J looking slow and stiff at the end? Tony Dorsett trying to play with the Broncos or O.J. Simpson looking like he was 60 years old with the 49ers? Didn’t Jerry Rice just drag his career out too long and go out with a whimper? I was at Joe Namath's last game in 1977 and it was not a pretty ending. The Bears beat up an aging icon until Doug Plank put a merciful end to it. Everyone there pretty much knew that we had witnessed the end and it was kind of sad. He stayed at least one year to many and that image of him being pummeled is the one that I remember. Not the defiant young man raising his finger as he ran off the field after beating the Colts in the Super Bowl. [/color] [/QUOTE]
