Yes, there are Brett Favre rumors for 2011. Yes, it's NFL Forum worthy http://www.totalpackers.com/2011/03/27/what-brett-favre-may-return-with-carolina/ What? Brett Favre May Return With Carolina? Quarterback Brett Favre may return to the NFL for the 2011 season, according to Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, but not with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings seem intent on choosing a quarterback in this year’s draft and possibly adding a veteran like the Washington Redskins Donovan McNabb as a bridge until he’s ready. Walters didn’t provide much information on Favre’s future, other than to say another unretirement is a possibility. Don’t discount the possibility of Brett Favre, who turns 42 in October, returning next season, but not with the Vikings. Maybe Carolina. If it happens, it wouldn’t come as a surprise. We’ve all seen this movie before. There are, however, a couple interesting angles here. Favre was quick to file his retirement papers with the league after the 2010 season, something he didn’t do the previous year. For all intents and purposes, the move, along with Favre’s continued refrain that 2010 would be his last season, was a clear sign he was finally hanging it up for good. Why the Carolina Panthers would be able to lure him out of retirement is a mystery. The Panthers were an NFL-worst 2-14 in 2010 and put up a league-worst 12.2 points per game. Their offensive line isn’t exactly good, either — they gave up 50 sacks, last season. Favre wanting to be part of what looks like a substantial rebuilding effort seems like a long shot. That being said, the Panthers do have some upside. The team has a solid running game, even with DeAngelo Williams likely gone as a free agent. They still have Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson, who came on when Williams and Stewart were dealing with injuries, last season. Carolina also has All-Pro Steve Smith at receiver and second-year man David Gettis, who looks like he’s on the verge of becoming a playmaker. The Panthers also signed tight end Jeremy Shockey, who was cut by New Orleans earlier this offseason. The cupboard isn’t bare on offense, by any means. Carolina’s biggest downfall in 2010 was their quarterback play, so it’s easy to see why they might be willing to take a chance on Favre while they wait for either Jimmy Clausen or a draft pick to develop. As Vikings linebacker Ben Leber said, this offseason is perfectly suited to Favre. Traditional offseason programs are likely to be eliminated and training camps could be cut short by the lockout. The less Favre has to do in the offseason, the more likely he is to play. Perhaps the biggest question is, can he stroll in at the last minute and pick up new coach Ron Rivera’s offense? With the Vikings, Favre was already familiar with then-coach Brad Childress‘ west coast offense. He was familiar with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who was his quarterback coach in Green Bay. The situation was tailor made for Favre to do little-to-no offseason work. It may not be so simple in Carolina, providing Brett even wants to consider the situation.
That is just stupid. A toddler could tackle him and he would explode into 1000 tiny pieces all over the field.
This has nothing concrete from Favre and I don't think he's gonna come back but regardless Brett Favre was one of the most annoying attention whores ever
Favre is soooooo done. No chance he'd go to Carolina. It was never about the money, or the love of the game. It was about sticking it to the Green Bay front office, and getting media attention.
if anyone here saw it,i love daniel tosh's take on it. "there going to pay me 12 mil to play? yea i'l do that."
I don't have any more interest in seeing Favre come back that anyone else does, but let me just point out that there is NOTHING here other than some obscure sportswriter from Minnesota saying it might happen. This is completely meaningless, and there's no reason to call Favre an attention whore for it (for lots of other things, sure). Just to show you how obscure this sportswriter is, did you know that he is a former major league pitcher? He pitched 6 2/3 innings for the Twins in 1969. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charley_Walters
We need this Gunslinger back, there is no one else like this Maverick Riverboat Gambler, hired gun, shoot from the hip hitman, desperado, drifter that is left in the NFL. Who else could we talk about using the phrase, You've been Gunslung ?
