I'm not sure how this whole retiring a players # works, so I just have to ask.
Does the player have any say in the decision?
not sure to be honest. i think its up to the organization

As much as I hate Favre right now, he did put the Packers back on the map. We can't deny how good his numbers were
Close? He has been a lock for the HoF for years. And one lousy season on a TERRIBLE Vikings team isn't changing that.

we had 11 championships before him, he did NOT put the Packers on the map.
Regardless of what he has done we have got to retire the number. I don't think there is much doubt that we will eventually. Give it a few years, and by the time Favre goes into the Hall of Fame Packers fans will, for the most part, have forgiven him. When it's all said and done he did many, many great things for the Packers and for the NFL. We tend to have short memories and only remember the recent events, which in this case would be his retirements and his tenure with the Vikings. But no one will ever remember him as a Viking, they will remember him as a Packer, as they should.
Remember, without him there is no Super Bowl title in '96.
Yep. I said it before and I'll say it again: The Packers would not have won the Super Bowl in 1996 without him.
without him we might have won 3 or 4 more SBs.
And we dont have to retire ****. Packers hall of fame? If Pete Rose isnt in cooperstown Favre damn sure shouldnt be in the packers hall of fame. Sorry No ****** Bags allowed.
Every favre sympathizer wants to compare it to Reggie White or Lombardi (doing sign of the cross when I speak thy names) going to a different team. What they really should be comparing it to is the Colts ******** Baltimore and leaving in the middle of the night. Baltimore has never gotten over that and GB will never forgive favre.
Give out the #4 and lets put an end to this crap about retiring
his number.
Indeed! They were never off the map to begin with. If you want to talk in terms of putting the Packers back on the map, look no further than this current roster.
2002- sexter throws 6 picks in playoff loss to rams
2003- sexter turns the ball over 3 times in the packers first ever home playoff loss. To a 9 win team!
2004- sexter throws a game killing pick in OT to Dawkins
2005- sexter gets a gimme in the playoffs, 8-8 vikings at home. sexter throws 4 picks, blows season.
2008- sexter, in the fourth quarter and overtime, completed 4 of 10 passes for 32 yards with 2 INTs. Another fail but the king of sexting and fails.
And thats only in the 2000s.
Here's some 90's epic fail.
1995 NFC Championship Game vs Cowboys
The Packers get themselves into an early 14-3 hole thanks to a costly screen pass interception that Favre throws to Leon Lett. To his credit, Favre battles back and plays a great game – until the 4th quarter, that is. The Cowboys hold a 31-27 lead but the Packers have the ball with the chance to take the lead and go to the Super Bowl. As usual, Favre gets reckless. Scrambling away from pressure, he tries to hurl a deep pass to WR Mark Ingram. The ball is picked off by CB Larry Brown (who will also make a key interception two weeks later at Super Bowl *** as we all remember). Dallas then ices the game for good.
1999 Regular Season vs Vikings
Both teams enter a key late-season Monday night game with identical 7-6 records. The winner will be in the drivers seat for an NFC wild card spot while the loser will likely be eliminated from playoff contention. Minnesota takes a 24-20 lead with about nine minutes left in regulation, plenty of time for Favre to mount a comeback. But he proceeds to throw two interceptions in the final minutes of the game, the last coming in the endzone as the final second ticks off the clock. Green Bay misses the playoffs.
Very well said Pack
But if we are suppose to let it go, shouldnt he?
Recall go beat the Packers to Peppers?
Still holding a grudge
His # should be retired, but it will take a while
Screw Favre I say have a ceremony invite Favre there burn his jersey in front of him and give his number to a punter....
Why just give it to a punter?Don't retire the #4 jersey. Give it to the punter every year. I don't want Favre to be in the Packers hall of fame. The Packers hall of fame goes to players who actually respect the Packers, not players who spit in their old team's face.
He won't be back.Wasn't that press conference kinda his retirement? Or am I mistaken?
I don't know or understand anything about him anymore. Even if he wants to come back what team would be willing to take a chance with him? It's not like he has an upside anymore. I mean, maybe if he came back he could do better than last year. But still, he's just too old now. Too prone to getting injured, and seriously ******** the rest of his life up.
That's right.not sure to be honest. i think its up to the organization
Or the bad ones such as interceptions and fumbles.As much as I hate Favre right now, he did put the Packers back on the map. We can't deny how good his numbers were
Before Fargone, the Pack never once lost a playoff home game or a SB.2002- sexter throws 6 picks in playoff loss to rams

When did he say that to Peppers? Guess I didn't know that. If that is true well I will get kicked off the board if I say what I would like. I just am tired of hearing about it. I want to erase all of it from my memory.
