What Will Brett Favre’s Legacy Be Now

Brett Favre is undoubtedly one of the greatest quarterbacks to play in the National Football League. Many people are singing the praises of Green Bay’s current quarterback, but Brett Favre’s legacy with the Packers is more than secure. His statistics speak for themself.
With 71,838 passing yards in his 20 year career, Brett Favre holds the record for the most yards thrown. Favre also holds the record for most touchdowns with 508 as well as the record for the most victories by a quarterback. Favre was voted the league’s most valuable player several times. In addition, Favre reached the Super Bowl with the Packers twice coming away with one victory and one defeat.
Favre does have his negative statistics as well the most glaring being his record high 336 interceptions. Probably the worst thing that can be said about Brett Favre’s performance on the field is that he stayed in the game for too long. Just like many great boxing champions who carried on past their prime, Brett Favre should have retired a few seasons before he did. Even with these negatives in mind, it’s hard to argue with a career filled with winning seasons and impressive quarterback performances.
