[QUOTE="mateus, post: 247483, member: 999"] well to tell you the truth it was a smart sports decision. look at the facts, yes he was 14-4 two years ago and brought a losing jets team a winning record. but he also cost us a shot at the super bowl and costed the jets a shot at the playoffs. therefore he failed as a leader to both teams. hes also a soon to be 40 year old player, how many 40 year olds do you know can still play and perform at such a high level? and with that being said compare that number to the number of 30 year olds, 25 years olds and so on and so forth. you will find more successful players at the younger ages than 40. Brett Favre aside, thats a scary thought when you know your games, season, playoffs and superbowl chances reside on the shoulders of what is known as an avoidable risk. lets put the age and the winning records together: its an absolute miracle in sports that he can pull off that kind of performance and be at such a late point in his career. that is a true testament to his talent as a QB, a football player and a sports athlete in general! but the daunting question remains: for how long? like it or not, sports is a business, its about winning and losing one thing and one thing alone: money. Brett could no doubt carry teams to championships but how many times and for how long? lets face it, GB could have said 2 years ago: Brett is our man and were going with him, and what if he decided to stay retired after that? uh oh...do we trust Rodgers? no! Brett is our man! but...Brett retired...****...we need a new QB...trade for one? where? who? how much? and the questions would have gone on and on and on. instead they did the correct thing any business would do. they let their veteran have his song and dance and when that vet said: thanks guys but i'm done, they did the responsible and honourable thing and said: you sure? Brett's answer the first time around: yea i am. and so the franchise moved on and like any other business promoted somebody and began shaping that somebody to take his place. they were done with the risk, done with the questions and decided that they had to make some money out of this. looking at it this way, if one of your superior's at work retired, they promoted you and trained you for the job, gave you the new office with the bay view window, tapped you on the shoulder and said: son, its on you now. you would feel proud and confident wouldnt you? now say that superior, who retired, comes back and says: i lost it all gambling, i need my job back. your telling me that you would step down and say "take it"? your telling me as the boss of a business who is in it to make money and whose only real worry is the bottom line is going to turn around and tell you "he needs it, were going to send you back down for another year in that cubicle of yours"? if your saying yes, than please warn me of any businesses you intend to run because i want to avoid buying or investing any stocks you may be selling.
