The Ageless Wonder Kid

Will Brett Favre come back for an 18th season or will he hang his helmet for the final time.

Brett Favre came into the leage in 1991 as the second overall quarterback drafted and the 33rd overall pick. He is currently the ONLY member of the 1991 draft class from the first two rounds still active in the NFL. The only other one was fellow 17-year vet. Ted Washington who went down in October with a season-ending knee injury.

Farve led the youngest team for the 2007 NFL season to the NFC Championship game, before an overtime field goal left the Packers without a trip to Super Bowl XLII and Favre still in search of his second Super Bowl victory.

Now that the young Packers team has some valuable playoff game experience, a motivated head coach and an optimistic outlook for next season, Favre truly has something to look forward to next year. The question on everyone's mind is if he will take the steps necessary to come back for his 18th season to try and win it all.

This past season, Favre spent his weeks lighting up the record books. Week 4 in Minnesota, he hit a 16-yard pass to Greg Jennings for his 421st touchdown breaking Dan Mario's mark.

Week 15, he hit a 7-yard slant route to Donald Driver for the NFL's All-Ttime passing mark breaking yet another one of Mario's records. There are plenty of other records that he holds such as touchdowns, wins, completions, attempts; hell he even broke the record for most interceptions during the 2007 season.

Brett Favre has already established his legacy as a quarterback in the NFL and the question that remains is if he will come back in order to lead his team to a victory in his final game as a player. The Packers established a defensive dominance during the season and the team should only get better through this April's NFL draft. Family has long been a big part of Favre's life and been a motivating factor in his past decisions on whether he would continue or not. The day after his biggest role model and father Irvin Farve's death, Brett threw for 399-yards and 4 touchdowns against he Oakland Raiders. Favre has had ups and downs over his career, but the family support has kept him going through the years and breaking through the record books.

Farve has the Packer's record for most games played and is currently the Cal Ripken of football with this 253 consecutive games started. The only player in NFL history with more consecutive starts is the "Ironman" of football Jim Marshall. Marshall started 282 consecutive game and 302 including the playoffs for the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings.

Records have never meant anything to Favre, but he wants to win. He is a winner. He always has and always will be a winner. If he does not see the opportunity to win, then Favre will most likely not return for his 18th NFL season. The 2008 Green Bay Packers though will be returning young and more experience players to their 13-3 season from a year ago and as long as Favre returns, the Packers have the opportunity to go all the way. Look to see the timeless Brett Favre starting at Lambeau gun-slinging like the kid that he is in 2008.

Go Pack Go!
