The other QBs I mentioned never really struggled late in their careers like Brett did that season. They never had monster statistical years in their late 30s, but they were relatively efficient. Most like to ignore the fact that GB was essentially fielding an NFL Europe calibur offense by the time that 4-12 year ended and only want to look at the stat sheet. I'll be the first to admit I wouldn't have been overly sad to see Brett retire this season, because I do want to see what we have in Aaron Rodgers and if he can be a legitimate NFL starter. I would've definitely felt somewhat bad though to see a great career come to end, especially on the verge of breaking Marino's TD and yardage records.That being said, Brett gives us the better chance to win in 2007 than Aaron does, and I'm not going to want to see him benched just so Rodgers can get some playing time.I want to see the Packers and Brett part under amicable terms and not how teams like Tennessee esentially forced McNair out. If Brett hangs them up after this season, I think most Packer fans will be content and he won't have tarnished his legacy at all.</blockquote>
