OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[packerbacker1234]

Honestly, Favre has had a HOF career. He's one of the all time greats. It's not fair to Rodgers to compare him to Brett and at this point it's insulting to Brett to compare him to any QB with less than 3 probowls and a SB win and even that would be a stretch.



To Rodgers credit, he's playing great. To Favre's credit, so is he. This team has a very bright future that looks brighter with every drop back from our 24 year old quarterback. We have some work to do on the DL and OL. We have to continue locking up or core before their UFA years. Things should only get better for thsi team and for Rodgers as he gains experience. Life is good as a Packer fan. The fighting and comparisons are getting very old.

Yes, they do get old. My main concern for the packers if if a new deal doesn't get struck between the NFL and the players association, there will no longer be a cap. That being the case, it's going to be hard to keep players in GB.

a guy like Jerry Jones will ruin the NFL and make it real hard for the packers

A team in ANY big market area is going to ruin it for the packers. NY teams, NE, etc. Just look at baseball to get the picture of what areas for football teams are going to start drawing in the most money to pay people.

It's not just jerry jones. Cap has kept teams like the packers able to compete year in and year out in the NFL. It puts everyone on a nice even playing field.

The problem is that the players association wants the players to get payed as much as possible, while the nfl wants it to stay the norm.

I don't forsee an agreement being reached. Either the NFL continues with no Cap, or the nfl forces Cap and normal standards WITHOUT a deal with the players union, and the players union goes on strike.

Wow, just think, something like the movie "the replacements" could actually take place in today's NFL.

"So, what ended Favre's career again? What? A 2 years strike after leading the jets to the playoffs? Greedy bastards."
