\nWhen the New York Jets acquired Brett Favre it was thought by many that he was the final piece of the puzzle for a team in \u2018win now\u2019 mode.\u00a0 Well the 2008 season has come and gone and things did not work out as planned with Gang Green failing to make the playoffs. This disappointing season has led the Jets to fire their head coach and re-evaluate all of the personnel on the roster.\u00a0 One of the most important questions they will have to answer is at the quarterback position.\u00a0 Will Brett Favre be their leader for 2009 or should they find a new leader?\u00a0 The better question is will they even have a choice?<\/p>\n

When Gang Green acquired Brett Favre they understood it was on a year-to-year basis as retirement is continuously pondered by the Hall of Fame gunslinger.\u00a0 The Jets understood that at the end of the season Brett would take time to evaluate his situation and decide on what he wants to do, play another year or retire.\u00a0 Well Brett you have brought a lot of excitement to the Jets organization, sold tons of jerseys and made Gang Green relevant in the NFL. You proved to everyone that you could still play at very high level even after missing an entire offseason program with a new team.\u00a0 There is nothing left to prove Mr. Favre and it is now time for you to walk off into the sunset.\u00a0 This decision will be tough to make, but it is what is best for both you and the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

Let Gang Green head in a different direction with their new leader without having to worry about carrying you along.\u00a0 Let the Jets new head coach implement his offense and build a relationship with a quarterback that he can win with over an extended period of time. Let the New York Jets be free of this potential drama as you can begin to write your Hall of Fame acceptance speech.\u00a0 Let the Jets be free of your contract, as you will always be remembered as one of the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
