Don't get me wrong, I love Brett Favre, he is the only Packer QB I have ever known and is my favorite all time athlete but there are a few reasons why I would'nt break down and lock myself in my room for a week upon his retirement.
A) One of my roommates and I swore to each other that the second we heard that Favre has officially retired, no matter where we were or what we were doing we're going to the bar, buying a bottle of whiskey, drinking ourselves silly and quite possibly shedding a few man tears watching Favre Forever and various other movies and highlights. B) I have faith in Aaron Rodgers, I was feeling alright about him coming into the season and his play in the Dallas game made me feel even better, he was poised and made good decisions within the offense. That said, he could still use a year or two to learn under the greatest QB of all time IMO and I wan't to see if he has the long ball ability, I think he has a good arm but I wanna see it real-time. C) Favre had a great year, we had an amazing season and I havent enjoyed watching the Pack that much for awhile. He now owns all of the major passing records (I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for 421) and the season was full of classic Favre moments. We made the NFC Championship game which was great but Favre did make a horrible decision (Check the overhead view of that play to see what I mean) and threw a bad ball for a pick to end the game. I know that's not fairy tale but hell, not everyone can go out like Elway. D) I want to see where this team can go... I want to see what will happen to a very talented team when Favre goes. In a way I want to get it over with and just start a new era with this great core of guys and see where Rodgers can take us.
Again, don't get me wrong, I'd like him to stay but my life would'nt be over if he decided to hang um up. Don't rip me apart too much!
