Over the past couple of years the NFL has had a lot of drama over Brett Favre. Favre is definitely going to be a Hall of Famer and is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Favre who has retired twice in his career looks like he can play forever at the age of 41 years old. This season Favre has been facing more injuries then normal that could hold his career in jeopardy.
Favre's contract is up at the end of the year and when asked if he would return next year he replied "No," . This would end his career after 21 seasons in the NFL. But he still has to make it through this year first. This season Favre has been beaten up pretty bad but has player through all of his injuries. In week 7 Favre was sacked hard against the Green Bay packers and suffered two fractures in his left ankle but he still played through it. In week 8 Favre was not as fortunate he was sacked hard again and received a laceration to his face from the opposing players helmet. There was a lot of blood coming from his chin so he left the game and did not return. He still did start the next week keeping his consecutive starting streak alive at 212 games which is unbelievable especially after all of these injuries that he has had.

In my opinion I think Brett Favre is one of the greatest players that has ever played the game, he is also one of the toughest players. Just the fact that he is in the starting line up gives his team a chance to win that is how effective he is. If Favre does decide to retire after the season the NFL will lose one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
