Brett Favre: Should he come back?

The party is on in the Super Dome, Bourbon Street is jammed with happy Saints Fans and already the question is being asked, should Brett Favre call it a career.

Favre has had an illustrious career many can only dream about. He does have a Super Bowl ring, he most certainly will be in Football's Hall of Fame. So why shouldn't he retire and call it a career?

For me the single biggest reason he should come back is his last pass, you know the one that got picked and stole defeat from the jaws of victory. I know that sounds a little harsh to say about one of the best quarterbacks the game has ever seen, but Brett's career has been plagued by picks where he tried to force the ball and ended up picked, picks that have hurt him and his team.

I would hate to see Favre end his career with that being the public's last image of him on the gridiron. I would hate for it to be his final memory of what has been a great career.

Now all the pundits and sports writers are weighing in and we will be reading alot about what Brett should or should not do.

I hope he comes back for one more try. He does not strike me as the kind of man that can live with that final pick and how it cost him and the Vikes an invite to the Super Bowl. The Vikings are a good team, strong defense and he has a great supporting cast at the skill positions.

Farve shows he still has good moves and is able to side step tacklers and deliver the ball. Sadly he still panics or tries to make something happen when there are better options. Bottom line Brett Favre still has skills and leadership that can take a team to the play offs, maybe even a Super Bowl.
