Is Rodgers Ready?

[cpk1994]

OMG!! I just put this topic out there for some good conversation. I did not expect you to start tearing each other apart. I can see all of your points from an objective non-packer fan view......but come on....Favre was great.....maybe a drama queen, but great.

I think you're making the same mistake that the emotional Favre worshipers typically make. Nobody here complained about him not being a great player for most of his career. There was one complaint about the 29 pick year (not even a complaint by me, the guy who everyone's taking jabs at because I somehow hit a chord close to them).

There were complaints about his off season workout habbits.
There were complaints about his commitment to football.
There were people sick of his whole act when he should have been giving everything he had to the sport that gave him everything he has

There was nobody complaining about him being a bad player. As middle schooler and high schooler I'm happy I got to see Favre in his prime. The last three years, I'm sick of the whole act and was ready to see him go. I really don't think we're going to see much drop off. I believe the QB is overhyped on good teams and overscrutinized many times on bad teams. The Packers are on a good team. Rodgers will be overhyped the way Favre was last year and most of his career. If the team were bad, he'd be overscrtinized the way Favre was three years ago.

Keep fighting the good foight, JH. It is amazing how people get their panties in a bunch becuause someone has the audacity to criticize the almighty one. Remember, the name of the team is the GREEN BAY PACKERS, not the Brett Favre Packers. There is not one member, past or present, of the GREEN BAY PACKERS, that is above criticism. I don't have to like every player simply becuase he put on the uniform. That attitude reeks of elitest BS.

Good that you to Donkeys agree, why don't you leave like some other asswipes did and start your own forum one strictly about bashing Favre and how much better this team will be without him. Fucking Donkey's/

Honestly, where do you come up with this bullshit? I guess I can just make shit up too, but honestly what fucking Green Bay Packer team have you been following for the last 17 years? Commitment? I could go into a rant about Favre's dedication to the game, but Ziggy pretty much did that and you glossed over it because retards like you don't understand being proved wrong.

Nice to see you showing a complete lack of class. Did we touch someones nerve? Typical Favre worhshiper in that the can't respect the fact that some Packer fans aren't in awe of Lord Favre, so they resort to childish name callinb. In that spirit, let me lower myseff to Mr. Nutz's level [Nutz] "OH MY GOD, SOME IS DISSING MY LORD AND SAVIOR, BRETT FAVRE! STOP YOU BIG MEANIE. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
WAIT A MINUTE, I BETTER GO HOME AND JERK OFF TO MY FAVRE POSTER AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OK." [/Nutz]

Like I said I am sure there are some quality Bear and Viking forums for you to join. Troll[/quote]Im just as much a packer fan as you are so cut the crybaby act. Ass.

You sir are no Packer fan, just a joke.

That was a pretty comprhensive analysis of the situation of the new Rodgers era. Plus, Sporting News is pretty much my favorite national sports rag.

That said, that article sums up my problen with nationnal sports "experts". I'd think every regular poster to PackerRats could've written that same article, with some providing more in-depth stuff than Vinnie Iyer.

Yes an article to instill confidence KY.

As long as AR plays to ''confidence in the system'', and has a sense of when to leave ''the pocket'', he should be fine this season and build onto that next season.

We need to see some flow from him on a game - game basis. He used to get into trouble whenever he retreated deep and not find an out option. He just needs to use his legs smarter not going forward.

Hopefully he has some luck staying game ready.

How bout them Celtics!

Ahh yes. More name calling. I laugh in your general direction. You are so pathetic.

See usually I never bothered confronting the Favre Bashers. I clearly never wanted to arguing against their stupidity. You don't like the guy, fine, I can't stop you from spewing your filth about him. Again nothing you say carries any weight with me or the forum. Keep riding Harrell's coat tails, again you two donkeys deserve each other.

Stop saying donkey, Nutz. You sound like a jackass. Did you watch Shrek or something today?

What I can say this is that I am very sick of Favre holding the organization hostage and wish he'd shut his yapper. He loves attention and its annoying.

he is probably a poker player, we love the term donkey, personally I also like Jack off, assclown, asshat, and cockhound.

Nutz, you are doing what a lot of people do, we hand favre a bunch of compliments, say he is one of the best ever, are glad he helped bring the organization back but point out his lack of commitment in some areas and all you read is....favre isn't committed to the packers. I think even BF would admit he isn't infaliable.

Personally, I had bashed favre for about 3-4 years, but after he showed a lot of dedication to cutting down the turnovers and buying into MM's philosophy I wanted him back for the first time in years.....but he admitted he didn't want to put in the time anymore and I respect him looking in the mirror and admitting that more than I respect anything he accomplished on the field. I wish him the best, but I am also ready to move on to the aaron rogers era.

And the king of the Donkeys puts his two cents in. Do me a favor Partial, turn off 1250am. How has Favre held this team hostage? How??? Ted Thompson hasn't made decisions based on Favre holding the team hostage. Not at all. Favre loves attention, priceless, did you come up with that all yourself?

I had to double check the date of this post to verify if this was an old thread or Partial was just off his meds again.

How the hell is how holding the team hostage now? What has he been saying?

Bump this with your subwoofer on

Took you awhile to post, man.

17 seasons and only one under .500.

Hope our next QB "holds the organization hostage and flaps his yapper" like that shit. I'll even take two SB's and win one. Yeah, that'd be cool.

Funny, how when Favre comes out and says he'd love to play if A-Rod gets hurt everyone is in a tizzy. How quickly some forget.

McCarthy said Montana showed up for every OTA even into his late 30's. Gannon never missed an off season program. Favre just didn't care and I was happy to see him go because of it. It's fun to watch football players that want to be there (offseason, season, practice, games, all of it to get better)

What the fuck are you talking about? In the 80s they didn't have OTAs, sure they had mini camps and things, but only practices that last 3 or 4 days, not 15 in a row.

You might want to take that up with McCarthy. McCArthy said Montana was around for all offseason activities. If they were called OTA's at the time or not is hardly relevant

You are being an idiot, I usually don't mind your ridiculous rants, but you are out of line and totally wrong. "Glad to see him go". What are you retarded? You are glad to see the face of the franchise of the Green Bay Packers go. Do you even realize the implications of this statement financially on the Green Bay Packers?

I partially care that the Packers will hurt financially, but ultimately I want to watch guys who want to play football and I enjoy the whole "work hard and achieve high things through commitment and teamwork". Favre just didn't send that vibe off to me. He seemed like a guy who didn't want to be there but wanted the paycheck and some of the glory on Sundays.

actually you don't know shit, only that you make ridiculous statements to get reaction on a football forum. This is only another line fo dumb ass statements made by a fool. In other words you are a Troll looking for reaction with every dumbass post.

It must be frustrating living life in your angry little mind.

Nutz, just listen to youself. Really, you sound like a complete moron and it's not even offensive really because it's just so stupid. and nobody said anything all that offensive about Brett Favre. It's really not something to get all worked up about. I'm not. cpk doesnt' seem to be.

[Bretsky]

Let's just put it this way, I respect Javon Walker and Ahman Green's off season work ethic more than Favre's. I'd bet that just about every one of the 88 players on the current Packers roster want it more than Favre did at the end.

I don't want to take anything away from his career as a whole, but when he decided he didn't care to show up for all of the work, I really didn't care if he showed up at all. The (I'm bigger than the game that gave me all I have) act grew old.

Seriously you are so full shit it hurts. You might be the only pile of garabage I have ever heard question Favre's commitment to the game of football. Seriously you are about as dumb as the fucking dog in your avatar.

Agreed. Favre was in great shape for his age. Who cares when he started his offseason program and where he did it. Bottom line is that once he got here, he was ready to go. I won't question a veteran like Favre or Charles Woodson (guys that took "vacations" before starting their training at a location other than Green Bay). They know their bodies. They were in great shape and ready to play when they got back to Green Bay.
