Bossman, I know we don't get along but yes. We have a 2nd round pick in Brohm who like Rodgers slipped thru the cracks to us and a guy whos won a national championship. You give Favre this year and next and by that time, MM has them groomed to take over as well and this problem of letting Favre walk, never happens. I really would've been ok with that, and thats just my opinion on it.
Fair enough, was just wondering
I think the problem is Thompson and Coach Mac had a pretty good idea what they were getting in Rodgers and didnt want to roll the dice on another guy developing.

My person problem with it is, we would have spend Feb-April this year again wondering if Favre was going to retire again. Admittedly I was a little nervous about how the QB play would pan out this year, but that has been put to rest. Now if we could just get a DT or 2.....I'm looking at you Harrell. Get off the bench.
Agreed

As big an unknown Rodgers was to the rest of the NFL, at least the coaching staff had a good idea of what they had in him, and they've been correct so far. While I believe MM is very good at developing QB's there's no way we can sit and say for sure that Brohm will turn out.

For me it would have been a lot more difficult to see Rodgers on another team for the next 10 years knowing the Packers had spent years developing him then it is to see Favre on the Jets for a year or two. But again, that's just me, and I know others will feel differently.
