Analyst Says Brett Favre Might Be Interested In Returning For 21st Year

According to NFL.com analyst Gil Brandt, QB Brett Favre might be considering another comeback for a 21st NFL season. "I do think Favre would be interested in talking to a team about returning," Brandt wrote in an NFL.com chat Tuesday. "But I don't see a team out there right now that would bring him back as a starter." Brandt, the former vice president of player personnel for the Cowboys for three decades, hasn't worked in an NFL front office for more than 20 years but he remains very well-connected in league circles. Favre, 41, the all-time leader for passing yards and TDs among his boatload of records, is coming off the worst season of his NFL career -- after having arguably his best in 2009 -- posting his fewest passing yards (2,509), TD throws (11) and lowest QB rating (69.9) as a starter while losing his streak of consecutive regular-season starts (297) just shy of 300 due to various injuries. But would the Vikings let him come back to try and go out on a higher note while mentoring first-round QB Christian Ponder? New coach Leslie Frazier has blown hot and cold on the issue since the 2010 season ended. "Brett is still a good quarterback, but I'd consider him a descending quarterback," Brandt wrote. "It's awfully hard for him to go to a team and be a backup. The Vikings must start Christian Ponder this season to get him some experience. And they're not going to get Favre in there to babysit Ponder."

........

 

These guys need to shut up

 

Whoever asked Brandt that question should STFU.......

 

"I'd consider him a descending quarterback..."
This dude's a freaking genius. Im stunned by his expert analysis.

 

HA! Would love it...start the campaign up Gilly Boy!

 

Jesus tap dancing Christ..it really won't ever end will it?

 

One random douche saying it isn't the start of all this crap again. He's done. Period.

 

such a c**k tease....i would love if farve came back. so much

 

If Favre wants to ruin his legacy by coming back for a 21st season, go for it. Favre was beat to hell last season and more of the same would happen to him should he play in 2011. When Favre said he is DONE, this is the first time I actually believe him. Where these analyst get their info on this is beyond me. Funny how this isn't even a topic of discussion over on espn YET.

 

More surprising than funny that it isn't a topic at ESPN. I could only imagine that the fat heck Berman is on his knees begging to blow Favre on air...

 

LOL. Favre returns in 2011. Anyone want to post bets on this happening and not happening? The Cardinals do need a QB.

 

being that i am 21 years old farve is a STAPLE in my life, i think id be lost without him but hes never let me down so far.

i honestly think if hed be ok with taking a backup job we could see him for FIVE MORE YEARS

 

Backup? C'mon! Favre is a starter. Arizona should pass on Kolb, take Favre. DOOO IIIITT!

 

:groan:

 

C'mon, DPN! You know you love these stories. Let's sign a petition to bring Favre back! Seriously, news like this means football is soon to start (we hope on the NFL side).

 

Okay let Favre come back so I can watch him suck some more.

LOL, this is hilarious. The guy will be EIGHTY and someone will say, hes coming back.

ENOUGH!

 

He's better than 1/4 of the QBs on current rosters...lol.

 

Brett Favre at 80 > Cam Newton now.
