Favre Back for Packers 2007 Season

Brett Favre is back. Packers general manager Ted Thompson said the three-time MVP called him to say he was "going to give it another shot" and return for his 17th NFL season — thus bringing his now-annual flirtation with retirement to an end far earlier than he had in the previous two offseasons.

This means, the Green Bay Packers would have a 37-year-old quarterback and does the cheese nation really think that Favre could really steer the 0.500 Packers to another Super Bowl? I hope not. Coz they'll be disappointed come January 2008. Yes, again.

Favre has started 257 consecutive games including the playoffs, an NFL record for quarterbacks. Favre broke Dan Marino's record for career completions (4,967) in 2006 and is closing in on Marino's marks for career touchdown passes (420) and yards passing (61,361).
As he has done in the past several offseasons, Favre returned to his home in Mississippi after the season to deliberate about his future. Last year, Favre waited until late April to tell the team he was returning.
