Some are even taking the position that he should walk away now so that a young and improving team can continue to do so with a young and improving quarterback.

And their argument is driven by a photo that has been making the rounds over the past few days. It's an image of the interception thrown by Favre in overtime against the Giants. You know, the interception that set the table for the game-winning field goal by New York.



With no real pressure and plenty of time to deliver the ball, Favre opted to throw the out route to the player who was covered more closely than any of the four receivers.

Look, we're not saying that the Packers would have won the game if Favre had thrown the ball to another guy. But a time when some Packers are beginning to look for reasons to argue against another season for Favre, it's providing plenty of them with all the ammo they need.

And, despite the fact that we've needled Favre plenty over the years, we think it would be a mistake for him to walk away. He's still got another year in him, and it would be great to see him ride off into the sunset with another Super Bowl trophy tucked under his arm.

On a related note Green Bay has signed former UL Lafayette QB Jerry Baab to a contract.

protection in the middle has broken down, the left guard is beat and there is certainly pressure from that...we're talking seconds.

Favre is the reason that team did as well as they did. Sure Grant helped tremendously in the running game but without Favre's ability to get the ball where it needed to go there is no running game and I don't care if you have Barry Sanders in the backfield. The receiver he passed to had man coverage with safety help but the safety is ten or fifteen yards away. Any receiver would've been a good choice with a good pass. He threw a bad pass...it happens and it's really too bad it happened when it did and then it leads to things such as this. If he didn't have the ability to play do you really think the Packers would welcome him back year after year?
