"Well, based on my own experiences, I have to see it to believe it. But my gut tells me this is it for him. He's had a brilliant, brilliant career and there's nothing left for him to accomplish.

Favre concluded, by saying that Tom Brady is "without question" the greatest NFL quarterback of all time.
"I think from a quarterback perspective, we're measured first and foremost by wins – Super Bowl wins – at that. And he, by far, is head over heels in front of everybody who's ever played. And I think that our generation will never see anyone like him again."
