I think he still has some "life" left in him

I'm a huge Packers fan and an even BIGGER Farve fan....so yeah

I guess I just want to see him go out on top, ya know?

[Colin Vestrand]

my only hope is that he never signs with the vikings - that would be bad news for the lions/bears/packers!

Id love to see him play again. Great QB. Just think of how great the falcons would have been if we didnt get ride of him.

I honestly think he's the most over rated qb to play the game. Yes, he has the records, but he has thrown more passes than everybody else to play and also has more interceptions than anybody else. Plus he always leaves his team in limbo about whether or not he's gonna play and has done this the past 3 or 4 years. Talk about selfish...and those wrangler commercials are awful!

the most overrated qb of all time

OVERRATED???!!!??? Yall are crazy. Just because the press loves the guy doesnt make him overrated. Greatest QB to ever play the game.

Numbers speak for themselves.
