Just finished watching an ESPN Sportscenter story on Thomas Jones criticizing Brett Favre... Well welcome to the Brett Favre roller coaster ride that us Packer fans all know about. He's always been the gunslinger, risk-taker type. I call it the "Brett Favre chuck and duck." He seems to be playing within himself, managing the game, we might be down, and then it's almost as if he gets bored and decides to chuck it. But dang, he was fun to watch. I'd take Brett any day over the 21 QBs the Bears went through while he was the Packer QB.
I was shocked when he announced his retirement... and then when we traded him to the Jets I refused to picture him with a Jets uniform. But I can honestly say, after a week or so, it didn't really matter anymore... Brett was just a veteran QB trying to lead another team. Plus I think Aaron Rodgers will be awesome. I'm actually tempted to get myself a Favre Jets jersey since I can probably get it pretty cheap and it'd be neat to have.
Just for fun, here's the list of QBs the Bears went through in the Favre era:
Henry Burris, Chris Chandler, Will Furrer, Brian Griese, Rex Grossman, Jim Harbaugh, Chad Hutchinson, Erik Kramer, Craig Krenzel, Dave Krieg, Shane Matthews, Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Rick Mirer, Moses Moreno, Kyle Orton, Jonathan Quinn, Steve Stenstrom, Kordell Stewart, Steve Walsh, Peter Tom Willis.

Out of curiosity, being a Wisconsonite - what is your opinion of the Jets and Brett?
While I am first and foremost a packer fan, I am also a Brett Fan. Therefore, when he went to the Jets, I now keep up with the Jets, TOO. I do acknowledge, however, that when he leaves them, I'll likely lose all interest in the Jets.
From what I've noticed, most packers fans seem to be in a similar boat as me. But I have heard of some who can't stand Brett for leaving like that. Which "side" are you on? I'm assuming a Packer Fan and a Brett Fan.
I'm a Packer Fan, and I'm a Brett as a Packer Fan. I was actually pretty indifferent when he got to the Jets. But I'll be happy when they sign him back for a day so he can retire as a Packer.
I'm both a Packer and Brett fan. Someone at work is a Packer fan and celebrated when Favre had a bad day. I don't get it. He gave us 16 good years, we could cut him some slack.
