Driver believes Favre won't return By BOB WOLFLEY bwolfley@journalsentinel.com Posted: Feb. 1, 2005 Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver said in a radio interview this morning that he believes Packers quarterback Brett Favre will decide to retire and not play another season in the National Football League. Driver made his comments on Sirius NFL Radio on "The Opening Drive" show with Dan Reeves and Chris Moore. Sirius is a satellite pay radio service. Driver, who is in Jacksonville for a Super Bowl promotion, was asked if Favre will return to play next season. "I don't think so," Driver said. "Everyone has been asking me that question. He's a real close friend of mine and we've been talking back and forth, and I think he's pretty much going to hang 'em up. I always told him, if you're coming back just because of that playoff game, don't show up. But it you're going to come back to try and win another Super Bowl, we'd love to have you." The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Packers, 31-17, on Jan. 9 to send the Packers out of the playoffs this season. Driver said he thinks Favre has made up his mind and said the Packers' request to know his intentions before the draft, April 23-24, forced Favre to decide on retirement. "I think so," Driver said when asked whether Favre had made up his mind. "I think he was trying to wait until the draft, and I think coach Sherman wanted to know right before free agency because there are a couple of quarterback free agents that they want to look at if Brett decided not to come back. I think they forced him to make a decision. When you force one of the greatest quarterbacks in the NFL to make a decision, he's pretty much going to let you know that he maybe is just hanging 'em up." After Driver's remarks the Packers released the following statement: "We are and have been in the same position since Brett’s comments after the Minnesota playoff game. He has not informed the Green Bay Packers either way as to his plans for the ’05 season." Favre, 35, has played for 14 seasons in the NFL, 13 for the Packers. A more complete version of this story will appear online later today and in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in the morning. ================================================== === Man I hope this isn't true!!! I've been fortunate enough to be able to watch him play for the Packers at Lambeau Field for many years now and I wish he would stick around for at least another year or two. They finally made a good move with the defensive coordinator and hiring a new GM so they can give Brett and the offense the help they ned to get over the hump and make it back to the Super Bowl!!! |

it is time for him to go though, man he is not the same, and could get hurt ala Steve young, troy aikman, and a pletherea of other QB's that stayed longer than they should of.
he wil definalty be a hall of famer, and has won MVP and superbowl so he did not miss out on anything in his career . |

Saddens me to say but I think I'd like to see Farve retire
He's on top of his game (mostly) now so he can go out on top Sorry but if Farve plays a even one or two more seasons his QB skills may show some decline - and that's not how I want to remember him Remember Dan Marino crying on the sidelines to Jimmy Johnson not to take him out at halftime. Marino's last season was not a pretty sight and his decline in skills started before then Not that Farve would ever do that. Difference between a great class act QB and a really good hall of fame crybaby QB
