The current phase of the Brett Favre Saga focuses on Brett’s move to the New York Jets NFL franchise team and how this will impact his family life as well. The Brett Favre family will continue to essentially be under a microscope by the media sector specific to New York City. This will be an enormous change from the more relaxed mid west style of living which the Favre family is accustomed to. Fortunately, the Favre family is quite likely already used to the tabloids and their ways. This should not affect his performance on the playing field, however when there is essentially no way to get away from it all in an atmosphere which resembles a circus, this it may just prove to be too much of a distraction.

The New York Jets have been somewhat overhauled as a team recently and this could provide a decent scenario for Brett Favre to fill a position within the team. Just how long it will take him to learn the plays and ways of the Jets is a very valid question. This could very well be the beginning of a bumpy ride indeed.

It is unfortunate that the end of his sixteen year career with the Green Bay Packers had to come to an end by the Packers turning him away when he chose to return from retirement after only a few months. Although there were not many National Football League teams interested in acquiring the aging quarterback, the New York Jets do appear to be genuinely willing to make some concessions and adjustments for the former NFC hero. One of the only things that have remained as a rock solid fact is that the Green Bay Packers are going to be led by the unknown quarterback Aaron Rodgers who just so happened to be the underling of the great Brett Favre for the last several seasons in Green Bay Packer Land.

What is left to now be accomplished by Brett Favre in his late thirties after displaying a fair amount of indecision regarding his retirement from the sport of professional football is an often asked question in the world of professional sports today. It appears that the most popular opinions are that Brett will very likely not be up to the same standards which most expected of him to be at during the peak of his career. Although during the 2007 NFL regular season his performance was outstanding, and he led the Packers to the NFC Championship game, his performance during that final game was of a particularly poor quality. Many observers considered that performance to be representative of the current level of his ability, which could spell a great deal of inconsistency for the New York Jets.

Could it be inevitable that the great Brett Favre winds up like so many professional athletes who should have quit while they were ahead? Such as the fabulous Johnny Unitas or the great Joe Namath both of whom should have quit the game sooner than they did, only to place a less than admirable finality on their respective stellar careers. On the other hand, Joe Montana one of the greatest National Football League quarterbacks to ever play the game managed to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to the AFC Championship game at the ripe old age of thirty seven.

The 2008 National Football League season will answer these questions and the answers will indeed prove to become history. The Brett Favre Saga is one of the great sports stories of the new century so far and his legacy spans a good twenty years already when one counts his collegiate and professional career as the ultimate quarterback number four.
