Favre on Rodgers’ Future: “He Still Has It”
As retirement rumors swirl around Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre has weighed in, offering a vote of confidence in his former Green Bay Packers teammate. Speaking with TMZ Sports, Favre expressed doubt that Rodgers would call it quits after this challenging season with the New York Jets.
“I just find it hard to believe that a competitor of Aaron’s magnitude would go out that way if it ended today,” Favre said.
The Jets currently sit at a dismal 3-8, and Rodgers is enduring one of the worst statistical seasons of his career with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. However, Favre emphasized that Rodgers’ drive and talent remain intact.
What’s Wrong with Rodgers?
Through 11 games, Rodgers has struggled to find his rhythm. Favre speculated that an undisclosed injury might be hampering the four-time MVP:
“There does seem to be something off about his game this season.”
Despite these challenges, Favre remains optimistic about Rodgers’ ability to rebound:
“I still think he has it.”
Jets’ Playoff Hopes Fading
The Jets face an uphill battle to salvage their season, with only six games remaining. Their next challenge comes against the Seattle Seahawks on December 1. If the team cannot turn things around, Favre suggested it might impact Rodgers’ decision to continue playing:
“If they make a run — maybe he walks away. But if they don’t, I think he’ll want to come back and prove himself.”
Rodgers’ Competitive Spirit
At nearly 41 years old, Rodgers’ future in the NFL remains uncertain. However, his competitive nature has kept him at the top of the game for nearly two decades. Favre, who knows the pressure of extending a legendary career, believes Rodgers won’t let his career end on a low note.
