Arod will pick up where Favre left off

[Tarlam!]

So Arod could have thrown more than 200 yards and a couple TD's? Arod could control the fact that Grant was invisible and M3 had completely abandoned the run game? Arod could have played corner and not have his ass torched by Burress? Arod could have had the team better prepared to not play like babies in the cold weather?

Then hell yeah, Favre should have been benched.

I am OK with what I said on this, and, I knew where you stood before you posted. I love Favre, too. You know I do.

[woodbuck27]

OK, I'll admit it. I've had the thought for 4 months, alluded to it and now, I'll downright say it.

I believe A-Rod would have won the NFC Title game. Favre was a statue. Grant was worse. I believe Favre should have been benched.

You all can't get any more pissed at me than I was at Favre. Remember, that game was at 3 in the morning for me.

Ohh jeeeee.... 3 AM.

Do you still spit on people 'in the ground' ?

Yes... there was something very wrong with Brett Favre and a lot of other Packers. They played stiff because of shock to the elements.

Where was the team prepared for that NFC Tile game Tarlam! ?

The Giants came into Green Bay underdogs, loose and better prepared.

[Tarlam!]

see, I find that Favre's body was more durable and his mind is what let to his retirement.

I totally agree with this.

I think you are wrong on that one Tarlam. If we are foing to start placing blame on individual players and not the whole team for the loss of the Title game,how about Al(Igot my ass burned)Harris. Myself I still think the green Bay coaching staff underestimated the Giants,after the early season win. I don't think the Packer coaches were prepared at all. But that's a whole different topic. As far as Brett being 39 it doesn't matter for him,he has old school mental toughness. I very much doubt hang nail Rodgers has a quarter of the grit/heart that Brett does.

[GrnBay007]

hang nail Rodgers

[Tarlam!]

Packerarcher, I am happy if I am wrong. We can blame a CB all day long. If that CB earns 10 million dollars per year, than lets nail him to a tree.

Brett Favre earned 10 million dollars a year.

As a fan. I was distraught by the lack of Grant in that game. The residual distress is that I cannot fathom calling TT out over not signing him. The reality is, I don't give a toss. I believe Wynn will do just fine.

But back to the plot!

Watching that game, I never felt Favre was in command. If I didn't 3000 miles away, did his team mates?

Bullshit my friend.Get real please.

LOVE doesn't translate to expecting so much fr. anyone 'you love' Tarlam!.

Who called the plays in that game and in OT.Favre? Who prepared the Packers to be ready for the game and conditions. Favre?

Of course not.

No Packer player should be ' the fall guy' for that OT loss. Certainly not Brett Favre.

PACKERS FOREVER!

[woodbuck27]

Just answer what comes to your mind,don't analyze and pick apart the question.

A-Rod. Favre sucked in the title game.

Here's why your dead wrong making such 'a low blow' comment Tarlam!:

On March 6, 2007, Aaron Rodgers' world changed significantly. On that day, Brett Favre formally announced his retirement in a tearful good-bye at the fourth floor Legends room at the Lambeau Field atrium. After 16 years of being the man at QB for Green Bay, including 253 (275 including playoffs) consecutive starts, Favre decided to pass the torch to Rodgers as the new captain of the Packer ship.

Rodgers has big shoes to fill for sure, as Favre holds most of the NFL passing records, including touchdown passes with the 442 he has thrown, has won three MVP awards, been named to nine Pro Bowls, won seven divisional titles, led his team to the playoffs 11 times, won the most games ever as a QB with 160 wins, played in four NFC Championship games, played in two Super Bowls and won there once raising the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 1997.

Favre thinks Rodgers can be successful.

"I wish Aaron well," Favre said.

"I think he'll do a great job. I think he has the talent." But Rodgers has to be his OWN man, just like Favre was. "I know everyone's made comments that, 'Boy, big shoes to fill,' " Favre said.

"The only shoes he has to fill is himself. He doesn't need to play like Brett Favre. It's all about the cast around you, it's about the coaching staff. If you stay focused on the fact that it's not about you - they obviously drafted him because he has the talent, mental capabilities - he'll be fine. Hopefully one day he's sitting here where I am and able to experience what I've been able to experience."

PACKERS FOREVER.

Ok my friend, now you're reaching a bit.... trying to compare the salaries of a QB position vs a CB ??

[BallHawk]

Favre is a better QB than Rodgers as of now. I would rather have Favre as the QB of the Packers from strictly a talent viewpoint.

However, Favre said he was retiring from professional football. With that, the Packers decided to move forward with Aaron as their QB.

Favre deciding to come back now would be disrespectful to Packers front office and Aaron Rodgers.

I love Favre to death but I want him to stay retired.

Favre was neither great nor the reason we lost that game. Although he threw the key interception, he also threw for 200+ yards and 2 TD's. That should be enough to win in below zero temperatures. If not, your real problems lie elsewhere. The real downfall on offense was the running game. Do people think we'd be better off with Brandon Jackson at RB this year because Ryan Grant didn't produce against the Giants?

Regardless of the numbers, Joe, Favre sucked. Grant was worse. No wonder the Packer brass are struggling to sign Grant. That last game was abysmal.

And yes, Favre threw for 240. He still sucked. At no time during that game did I feel he was in a position to win. He played like a loser, he lost. Go ahead and stone me. I know what I saw. i saw a loser. I love Favre. I love my son and my daughter, too. Don't meen I am blind to their faults.

What was abysmal was the play of our OG's; that had a bigger effect on Ryan Grant than anything else. We were schooled

[Bretsky]

Are you saying Favre didn't suck in the title game, Buck?

Are you saying he did suck ?

IMO over the course of the game Favre did not suck

You want to look at players who might have sucked in that game. Start with our interior OL, then go to Al Harris......

Then if you want to look at players who made one fatal play you can look at the last throw by Favre, Brandon Jackson on the screen, and Ruvell Martin on the critical drop.

[falco]

favre sucked that game, but so did everyone else...

[woodbuck27]

favre sucked that game, but so did everyone else...

The TEAM wasn't properly prepared.

Stay tuned.

When Favre came out of the tunnel, I said to myself "oh shit we're going to lose." You could always tell when it was a done deal ahead of time. Did he suck? Yes. Did the o-line suck? yes. Did my honey Al suck? yes. But the fact is other people can suck and it's not such a huge deal. When Favre sucks, everything tends to fall apart.
