[@phoenixgamer3480]

@@tcormier19 He wasn't the problem, though. He was held back by garbage defenses and no running game year after year and playing in the same division as Aaron Rodgers certainly doesn't help, either. By the way, I am not a Lions fan.

[@jemeljordan-butler4510]

Unless you retire after winning the Super Bowl, EVERY player either retires after a postseason loss or on a team that didn’t make the playoffs. This is the lowest hanging of the fruits.

[@merryweather5926]

Except drew brees and maybe Tom Brady or Peyton manning

[@merryweather5926]

@@sicknasty3565 Well, to be fair , Yes drew brees performance was not that great against the bucs, we all know he probably would’ve had 2 or 3 by now if it weren’t for garbage defense provided to him over the years and just in past 3-4 years, he has had great weapons like Thomas,Kamara and sanders

[@jcore0981]

@@merryweather5926 Yeah but that doesn't negate the fact that he retired after a heart breaking loss. He can't be in the list of players who went out on top after throwing three picks in the Bucs divisional round.

[@Luke-fp7gz]

if my career ended like marino’s i would’ve played another season. cant end your career like that

[@marchawk3080]

Marino actually played a year too long and another year for him would have been with a desperate team that needed a QB, Miami was done with him. That 99 dolphins team was actually better than their 9-7 record. Marino only started 11 games and his record was 5-6. Damon Huard started the other 5 games and his record was 4-1. Marino also threw (many) more interceptions than touchdowns for the first time in his career that year. Fans, media, sportscasters, and analyst were all calling for him to be benched. If he would have been almost anyone except Dan Marino he would have been benched.

[@matthewalexanderlemma8000]

I’d say another kick in the balls for favre is the fact that Rodgers won the super bowl in Green Bay that year

I wish Brees did 1 more year. He is such a good person, both as a player and his personality. He welcomed Winston right in. I hope he does 1 more season, though I know he won't. Thanks for all the great memories!

Vol. 2: Tom Brady retires: 1) DREW BREES (2020); 2) Aaron Rodgers (2020/2021); 3) Patrick Mahomes (2021? he's washed up). THE GOAT IS MORE LETHAL THAN CANCER, AIDS AND COVID COMBINED.

Funny thing is I'm not even a Saints fan.

I can't believe you guys said that Hannah wasted his whole career. The man is considered one of the best offensive lineman of all time. Oh and he's an NFL Hall of Famer. The Hog worked his ass off for some really bad teams, but was part of the Patriots team that set the NFL record for single season rushing yards (over 3000). Dude was a beast. Come on, you guys are better than this. The Super Bowl may have been a dud for Hannah, but doesn't mean he wasted his career.
