297 Straight Starts. Iron Man indeed. Cheers to Brett Favre. Legendary.
No reporting of this guy retiring. At least until he holds a proper press conference. In which case, we will still avoid certainty until after the first game of the season is played without him. Even then, we’ll hesitate until after the Minnesota Vikings Week 4 BYE/Week 5 return. Essentially, “Keep Calm & Carry On”.
With the 34th pick in the 2010 Draft, the Minnesota Vikings chose CB Chris Cook to help out the defense that seemed to lose steam towards the post-season. Also, it looks like QB Jimmy Clausen won’t be tutored by QB Brett Favre. Clausen’s day is getting more and more grim.
Bet you didn’t know (as of Week 6) Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub is the NFL Touchdown Leader with 14 scores. New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees is 2nd with 13. Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning, New England Patriots QB Tom Brady, & Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre are tied for 3rd with 12.
Brett Favre: The only man to have beaten Every. Single. NFL. Team.
Make no mistake, those who have watched him play and continue to do so, get to tell their children & grandchildren about what they saw him accomplish. Even if he never played again after Monday, he’d most likely be considered the greatest Quarterback ever. That isn’t a joke.
So to answer your question, Yes, he does get to hold that #1. He’s earned it.
