One used but good condition 38 year old former MVP, what are you willing to offer?

I'd take a decent veteren Backup QB and a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Delhomme and a pick?

Simms (or Garcia) and a pick?

Sage Rosenfeld and a pick?

Boller and a pick?

I've always liked Chad Pennington, and he would be a fine #2 as Brohm learns the ropes (and Flynn goes to the practice roster).

I'd be fine with a 3rd round pick to a 'crappy' AFC team.

Heck, TT does fine with 3rd or 4th round guys but would probably parlay a 3rd into 3 6's and 2 7's.

Smart quarterbacks don't nec. require cannon arms.
Pennington, with savvy, absolutely took the Packers to school a few seasons back.
Also, a backup role -not a starter.

I did read it,and no it is not hard decisions. Put #4 on the field as the starting QB for the Pack in 08 and win. Put Hangnail Rodgers on the field as the starter and if he is effective and that's a helluva a big if,he will get hurt before game 5. Probably even before that,then what because TT did nothing to get a vetran backup. Don't reply by saying they made Culpecker an offer,that's an even worse scenario than Brett backing up Rodgers imo.

Favre has a bunch of yes people in his corner. He thinks it's owed to him to have the offseason off. He thinks it's owed to him to force the GM into personnel decisions. He thinks it's owed to him to retire, unretire, retire and then unretire again just in time to miss all of the off season comittment and work. He thinks his fat contract is owed to him because he's Brett Favre.

Now he's asked to just stay home. It's about time. Really, I think the Packers were sick of it for two years already but they didnd't have a choice. He was the obvious only answer at QB and TT/MM did have a commitment to win above all else. Now, MM and TT seem to really believe they have the football solultioni to the off season headache that is Brettney Favre. Hopefully the Packersget all of the success that their off season commitment earns them and Brett gets all of the success that his off season commitment earned him.

Tampa Bay, Baltimore, and maybe Carolina seem like the most logical destinations. Let those three teams bid on Brett, and see who offers the most.

repost from ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=williamson_bill&id=3474482

At 6-1, we have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jon Gruden loves collecting quarterbacks, and this would be his greatest catch of all. If Favre becomes available, it wouldn't be a shocker if the Buccaneers make a run at him. And if they do, Tampa could be attractive to Favre. This is another team to watch.

7-1 Carolina Panthers: This could be an intriguing possibility, although on Saturday The Charlotte Observer reported that Panthers general manager Marty Hurney dismissed an Internet report that Favre was interested in playing for Carolina. That said, Favre probably would like to play in the South, and the Panthers are a good quarterback away from being a solid playoff contender. Jake Delhomme can be effective, but he is coming off elbow surgery. If Favre comes back and is no longer a Packer, keep an eye on the Panthers.

8-1 Baltimore Ravens: This could be a real possibility if Favre really wants to play this season. Baltimore is a decent team in need of a quarterback. Sure, the Ravens took Delaware QB Joe Flacco in the first round of the April draft. But no one would blame the Ravens for holding off on the Flacco era in favor of Favre for a year or two. If Favre wants to come back, Baltimore could be a place to consider.

25-1 Minnesota Vikings: This is the perfect landing spot for Favre. The Vikings are the best team in need of a quarterback. The addition of Favre would make Minnesota an instant Super Bowl contender. But there's a problem: The Packers likely would never let that happen.

Obviously you are wrong and it is a VERY hard decision. Brett has changed his mind 3 times since last year, if it were easy he would have made a decision and "put #4 on the field as the starting QB for the pack"

I think Bretsky's right - the best you can hope for is a third. The team getting Favre is getting a guy who hasn't been in any serious off season program, seems uncertain of what he wants, and will be a rented player for a year or two, it seems. And if he does come back after the first year, will you be willing to sit through the annual I-don't-know-if-I'm-coming-back gnashing of the teeth?

My guess is we get a 4th or 5th when all is said and done; the uglier it gets the harder it becomes to get a better pick.

Pretty sad when Favre probably just had his second best year when looking at the stats since about 1996.

I don't question Favre's committment on Sundays. I don't think JH is either. But he already missed MC and OTA's when he announced his desire to come back, which should say something about his committment level right there. What he said during his press conference in March has to be taken into consideration as well.

Being committed from September thru January is different than being committed year round. This isn't dogging him, it's calling it what it looks like. He wasn't committed in March, or April, or May. He started feeling an itch in June. Now he's committed in July? I don't know... I think he might be ready to fully commit himself to another season, but the season started a couple months ago.
