It was sad seeing him get drilled by the Bears today, and that pick before the half was horrible. I think it's time for him to go. The Pack is 2-10 and they look horrible, not that it's all his fault.

It's definitely time. I swear at times he looks like he's just throwing the ball up for grabs. He was totally out of sorts in the Philly game. Just chucking bombs with reckless abandon. 4 years ago, he would have carved the eagles up like a turkey.

Aaron Rodgers has got to be kicking himself. what does he have to do to catch a break?? last year his 10-1 cal bears get shut out of the BCS...he not only is not the top pick but doesn't get drafted until pick 24.. and now he can't even sniff the field over a shell of himself brett favre.. :shrug:

No he should wait for the end of the season.

Only if he wants to.

I think in the situation he's in there's no way to win. Think he would be a pretty good QB on a better team? I do.

But, he probably will retire.

In some ways he's lucky, no Green, injuries at WR and OL etc. ROdgers would be in a situation just as bad as Smith in SF, and under a hell of a lot more pressure since he'd be playing instead of Favre.

In hindsight taking Rodgers looks a lot smarter now, they took a lot of heat for it at the time and yes he's not helped them at all THIS year, but next draft at least they don't NEED to pick a QB first, they certainly can if they get a shot at Leinart or Young, but they don't have to. If they'd passed on Rodgers this year they'd have been forced to get a QB in the draft or FA.

Watching Farve this year has been sad. He is one of the best of all time. However, I do think he should retire at the end of the season and he probably will.

He is so competitive he will not want to go out on a year like this. Many of the experts predict he will be back for one more year. He has had a bad year-no doubt and it is a sad ending if he retires. He will forever be a hero in Green Bay as they do not forget their heroes. I will always remember the Green Bay sweep with Paul Hornung carrying the ball and those great lineman leading the way

Favre is literally, LITERALLY turning his face away from the throw, chucking the ball, and praying for a miracle. It's so sad.

Stout, Exactly. That interception he threw against the Bears was ridculous. If it wasn't Favre, he'd have found his a** on the bench after some of the throws he's made this year.

He threw the ball 58 times against the Bears. That is absolute suicide against the Bears. Feel real sorry for the guy.....I think he can still play.

What are you people talking about, the Eagles would be undeafeated if Favre was their QB!!!!

All joking aside, he probably has a year or two left. He just hasn't had the tools around him this year. Especially bad OL for them this year.

I don't think he can play any more at all. He's clearly lost it. I know he doesn't have the tools, but DAMN. If he played any worse, he wouldn't be able to complete a single pass.

I think Farve has one more year. You just got to realize along with half their Oline gone, they lost 2 stars on offense with Walker and A. Green. What do you expect. Granted like stated before, it's just getting rediculous with all these just chuck the balls in the air...

Green Bay are no longer competitive. They face a few years of rebuilding both on the field and in the front office. Favre would be stupid to play another year.

What makes everyone think it will get better? Green and Davenport are FA, as is Walker I believe, and the defense will still stink. What's to come back for?

If he see no help I am sure he will retire.... It all depends what he thinks he has around him... If those people leave who do they bring in...
