Favre flip flops more than John Kerry

[GoPackGo]

its good news for Packer fans tho....

Favre reserves right to change his mindAssociated Press


GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre is back.


But for how long?


Despite comments earlier in the offseason that there was "no doubt" the upcoming season would be his last, Favre said Saturday that he wasn't so sure.


"I know I said that," Favre said Saturday, in his first public comments since telling the Green Bay Packers he would return for another year. "But I hope you guys will respect me. I'm going to play this year, give it my best and not talk about it. And I'm sure that it will come up from somewhere else at some point, but it's been a distraction not only for me but for I think the guys I played with in the past, and I'm not going to talk about it this year."


In a half-hour session with reporters, Favre reiterated several times that he never considered asking to be traded to another team in the offseason.


"I know there was a lot of talk about being traded or wanting to play for another team," Favre said. "That never, I've told you guys that over and over again that I didn't want to play for another team, and that's the truth. And never once did I mention [a] trade. This is where I wanted to be the whole time."


Favre said he came back intending to win, but if the Packers can't go to the Super Bowl, he hopes to at least have fun.


"I know there's the risk of being 4-12 again," Favre said. "As with any season, there's optimism. I'm well aware that we lost five games by just a few points [last year]."

"I'm well aware that we lost five games by just a few points [last year]."
I bet he blames himself for every one. #4 bashers think he doesnt.

[GoPackGo]

I don't know about that, I think he was pissed off that the quality and depth of players on Green Bay's roster was getting worse from 2000 on...Last year he just wasn't able to overcome it. I think he's encouraged by the moves to rebuild and feels like theres nowhere to go but up.

Personally, I hope he stays 2 more years and hangs it up. After he breaks every record in the book.

I didn't put my money on Kerry........................
but I would on Farve.

[ND72]

can't get any worse than George Dubya Bush...

[Kiwon]

Farve is an elite athlete who knows that one day he will have to call it quits for good and the defining chapter of his life will be over. It's a huge struggle to know when is the right time to walk away (BTW - check out the gray hair and wrinkles. He looks much older than 36). Flip-flopping on that decision is understandable.

Flip-flopping by politicans like John Kerry, on the other hand, are more akin to what the New York Times columnist William Saphire said about Hilliary Clinton - she's a "congenital liar." John Kerry is the same.

Kiwon, the gray hair and wrinkles stand out everytime I see a picture of Brett or on TV, it almost seemed like he 'turned' overnight. I think this past season hit him mentally more than we realized. The bashers who kept bringing up 29 Int. made me positively ill.........

Why, didn't he really throw them? Did we just imagine the interceptions? :wink:

I'll go with that!!!!! :razz:

Why is the subject lame?

The Packers starting QB for the last 14 years might play 1 more is lame? viqueens fans would be pissing themselves silly if he said "Im gonna play another year but it will be in lavender".

[ND72]

i'm a huge Favre fan, and even i thought he killed the team last year because he didn't understand what he needed to do to help the team. i'm not bashing, i'm just stating a fact.

Umm, no.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Umm, no.

At least, that's what they'd like you to believe. I guess I'd be worried for them if that's how they truly felt. Let's see 36-year-old Brett Favre or 37-year-old Brad Johnson.

I have a hard time believing Brad Childress wouldn't be absolutely giddy if the Packers called him up and offered a swap of starting QBs.

All things considered -age, mobility, discipline, familiarity with system and org, contracts(Favre 10M Johnson 1M) and desire to play beyond this season, I don't think they would want to switch. That being said, Madtown was commenting from the point of fans, and my being one of them, I wouldn't want that switch either. Both teams are better off as is.

[HarveyWallbangers]

You may not, but I bet most would, deep down. Would you rather have a guy that you know wouldn't be able to lead an average team (like the Vikes) to the title, or take the chance that Favre just had a down year (maybe it was injuries and the fact that the team was eliminated early since he actually had a good first 6-7 games when they still had a chance)? Vikes fans have publicly mocked Favre for years, but I'm sure most of them would have loved to have #4 the last 15 years (including this year over what they have).

In his prime, absolutely. But now, where is there QB that can lead an avg team to the title? I don't know of any. Make the team better, possibly. But I don't know that Johnson couldn't do what needs to be done with a good team. He doesn't make many mistakes, and nowadays that can be good enough. And Vikes fans mock Favre because he is a Packer, they would probably have all the same feelings you guys have about him if he were on this side, so I agree with you there. Favre may be more popular to those fans than Johnson if you switched this year, but that is because their styles are so different. Johnson plays safe, mistake free for the most part i.e boring. Favre can be exciting and create on his own. Both styles can be good, both can be bad.

I can honestly say that is NOT the case. You definately have work to do if you ever want to think like the enemy.

Not closet, but objective and intelligent.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Brett Favre is to John Kennedy what Brad Johnson is to Dan Quayle.

[HarveyWallbangers]

At various points in his career, some Viking fans thought more highly of Warren Moon, Brad Johnson, Randall Cunningham, Daunte Culpepper, and Brad Johnson again than Favre. Or, at least, that's what they will tell you.

and last but not least....Tarvaris Jackson


lets review...
B. Johnson-38 years old and not gifted with a great arm
Mike McMahon-no talent assclown
J.T. o'Sullivan-Packer reject and no talent assclown #2
Tarvaris Jackson-who?

I'd rather have Aaron Rodgers if I were you.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'd rather have Aaron Rodgers if I were you.

You make a very compelling point.
:D

As much as they want to believe in Tarvaris Jackson, Aaron Rodgers was much more highly rated coming out of college. They'd be idiots not to want him on the team over what they have.

[mngolf19]

No one cares how strong Johnson's arm is. Only that he win. He's one of the few SB winners. Makes him qualified in my book, no matter how little I think of guys like Dilfer. Also shows that different styles can win too. McMahon, who cares. O'Sullivan, who cares. Your boy Rodgers, who cares. Oh wait, you will if he has to play.

Harv, don't be dumping more crap on the Vikes. We just wiped one of those off last week.(Foley)

[HarveyWallbangers]

So, you'd rather have Brad Johnson than Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson than Aaron Rodgers?

You defeated your own argument with the Dilfer comment. Johnson won on a team that had one of the best defenses in history--like Dilfer. He has about as much chance as Mark Brunell at leading a team like the Vikings to the Super Bowl.

[Rastak]

At various points in his career, some Viking fans thought more highly of Warren Moon, Brad Johnson, Randall Cunningham, Daunte Culpepper, and Brad Johnson again than Favre. Or, at least, that's what they will tell you.

I know of a Packer fan that thought GB would go 16-0 last year and is touting the same this year.


Your point?

He said Rodgers rather than any QB the Vikings have, not Favre...how'd he get into the argument. Unless I completely understood the original comment.

[Rastak]

Hey Jpooper, what was the W-L record last year of said QB's...I'm a results kind of guy...I see you like stats.....

[HarveyWallbangers]

Hey Jpooper, what was the W-L record last year of said QB's...I'm a results kind of guy...I see you like stats.....

You are more intelligent than that, aren't you? Seriously! That's the angle you want to work from?

I guess Harvey I am completely missing the point. Or I completely misread what was earlier said. Please explain why I'd want Rodgers over Johnson....

If the argument was Rodgers over McMahon and Jackson and O'Sullivan....then I say what has Rodgers shown thus far to warrent me wishing like all hell he played for my team?

[MadtownPacker]

Still no answer to why this subject is lame?

[Rastak]

nah, no answer, other than the original poster likes the word lame.

[GoPackGo]

"Rodgers rather than any QB the Vikings have" He has way more potential than anybody the Vikings can boast. He could have went #1 overall pretty easily to the sorry ass 49ers. A couple years behind Favre is gonna make him the next Viking slayer

[MadtownPacker]

JPopp never said it was lame.

[falco]

The jury is still out on Rodgers...

but Brad Johnson would win a lot more games this year on any given team than Rodgers.

[Tarlam!]

I bin sayin' it since we drafted him;

1. A-Rod is smart. That's a good thing for a QB
2. A-Rod is a natural leader. That's a must for a QB.
3. A-Rod will work his butt off traing. That's an exceptionally good thing for a QB.
4. A-Rod is patient and happy to sit. That's a long term view for a rookie QB.
5. A-Rod has a chip on his shoulder, being passed on by 23 teams. That's a dangerous thing for the NFL at large. Only Leinart has a similar chip.

The press comments on A-Rod are positive, but the writers are genuinely surprised by how well he's developed in just over a year.

A-Rod is far less unproven than some give him credit for. He has proven that he is making the absolute most of even the slightest opportunity, he is willing to do what it takes and he is hungry for success.

What else could he have possibly "proven" to this point?

Leinart has Paris to keep him warm.....or itchy.....take your pick :razz:

A-Rod will be more than ready in 2008 after Brett retires with another ring and having broke all records!!

And A-Rod can afford to be patient till then. He's smart enough to know a good deal when it comes along.

Let's see, people are saying that Leinert would have gone before Rodgers last year, and what position was Leinert drafted in this year? What position was Rodgers ultimately drafted in last year? Were the Packers looking at possible Qb's in the draft or FA this year? Are there lots of questions about whether Rodgers is even capable as a pro? Based on all of this, No I don't want him over anything on the Vikes current roster.

So your a purple lover huh mngolf? You should put a avatar up, something like this maybe? :mrgreen:

Being that you wear purple I doubt we would agree about anything. But you got some good points. We have a resident troll called Rastak but he doesnt tear into the Packers like he should. Hopefully you can be that troll, umm I mean, poster. :razz:

I have no problem with ripping into the Packers, Vikes, or anything at all. Definitely no shortage of opinions here. Side note-I have been looking for a good avatar(something golf) Just haven't found anything I liked that fit the parameters.

[Tarlam!]

They're similar types of trolls, only mngolf wasn't out of his closet, like Ras.

And, unlike Ras, I am yet to see mngolf's pre-fab-purple opinion influenced on here, forget changed. But he's no Teddy Troll, that's fer sher.

Tarlam, I have no choice. I am from MN and I am almost completely Danish in heritage. Therefore I am a Viking! But I try to be objective anyway.

Ok chief,
The Packers could have chosen Leinart or Cutler this year but they didn't because they believe Aaron Rodgers will be better. You can't say the same about the purple penis eaters QB's.

The backup Hinder Packer QB hasn't shown anything thus far. Johnson was 7-2 last year as a starter and won a superbowl a couple of years back.
You can believe whatever you want....I do know your current head coach rated Alex Smith higher than Rodgers last year, and Smith hasn't exactly impressed either. He may be ok as an NFL QB someday, I don't know but I wouldn't be all fired up about a Tedford product.

The Packers didn't choose QB because they had many needs, and unless you are Matt Millen you aren't going to take a QB in the 1st rd two years in a row. And for what Rastak just pointed out.
