The next George Blanda

Is Brett Favre going to be the next George Blanda? Blanda is another in the long line of quarterbacks from the Western Pennsylvania region. Blanda is from Youngwood, PA which is between New Stanton and Greensburg. Blanda played professional football for 26 seasons until the age of 48. Favre will be 41 this October. When the season is over, Favre probably thinks outloud that I am finished. But once he relaxes, heals up, and spends time doing some non-football things, he is re-freshed and ready to come back. Favre, like numerous other NFL veterans, does not enjoy going to training camp. Training camp is vital for the preparation of the regular season. If the NFL shortens the pre-season to 2 contests, then training camp will probably be shortened and maybe the Spring OTA's will be made mandatory. As long as Brett Favre can run the offense, throw the ball with accuracy, and orchestrate the running game, then why should be retire. Favre can still take a pounding, he does not miss many plays, and basically he loves the game of football with a passion. Deep down inside, he wants a Super Bowl Ring with the Vikings. If he accomplishes that goal, then Brett Favre will probably hang up his spikes. But why get out of the game. I think Favre would be an excellent quarterback coach at the NFL or collegiate levels. He could be a guy like former Indianapolis Colts QB Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh is one of the elite coaches in college football with NFL Head Coach potential. That could be Brett Favre when he decides to retire.
