Rumor Mill won't die... Part 2... UH OH...

[vince]

OK thanks. Valid speculation, although I think he would play for another team - if the circumstances are acceptable to him... Namely, if the team has, in his mind, a legitimate shot to make a push into the playoffs. Then anything can happen, and things are so unpredictable.

Before last year, I think Favre may have had more beliefs in line with what you say, as he publicly made comments about how long it takes to gain chemistry, etc. but things came together quickly for this team last year, and he may now believe that, with that experience, he still has the ability to make it happen quickly again.

Sure it will be difficult road learing a new system, etc., but he may be willing to do that again as well, with his family's support for the time and effort needed...

He's hanging on to his last opportunities to live his life's purpose in his mind. The mind has incredible power to overcome adversity.

He may stay retired. If he does, its because he can't get the right situation lined up for himself.

Bus Cook is slowly creeping ahead of Rosenhaus for "most hated agent."

Guy seems nothing but a shit-stirrer.

The Packers management's job is to put the best team on the field that they can. Despite his playoff performances in the last decade, Brett Favre gives the Pack the best chance to win. The Packers need to go public and say they would love to have Brett back if he decides to unretire. The ball would then be in Brett's court and and he can go public with his decision and end the drama.

He's starting to remind me of "The Colonel" , Elivis' guy.

He isn't doing anything brett is against. Brett may not be telling him exactly what to do, but he ain't exactly saying shut up either.

I agree 100%. If Favre wants to return, and Thompson flatly refuses to talk to him about it, Thompson is a dumbass.

If Thompson feels there are certain things that he wants Favre to accept...perhaps taking some games off to keep him fresh at year end and acceptance that this is about the team, not Favre or records...fine. Bring it up and discuss it.

To close your eyes and say "You've made up your mind...we are going another way" is ignorant and smacks of the dumbass.

Agree.. the idea is to win football games now, not years from now. Yes, you plan for the future but this team is now, right now.. and if we don't do whats best for this very talented team, then TT is a huge dumbass that is to arrogant

[Scott Campbell]

Would any such transition be noticeably more difficult than the recent transition from Shermhead to McCarthy?

Of course it would...when Sherman left, he didn't take all of the receivers, backs and blockers along with him.

Going to a new team means that Favre would have to get acclimated to an entirely new roster on top of a new system and terminology. That isn't a picnic at the park.

Good points - I'll buy that.

Wrong. The idea is to win football games now AND years from now. If we go to the SB and fuck up the whole team in the process and lose for the following 6 years you'll still be calling for M3 and TT's heads.

Scott Wells seemed all for him being back.

That fine Zig.

I'm just wonder how welcoming Favre back for 2008 or going to the Super Bowl is going to fuck the whole team up for 2009 and beyond?

Scenario 1) Rodgers throws a hissy and gets dealt to another team. He becomes a good QB and takes the new team to the playoffs yearly. Brian Brohm sucks eggs and goes the way of Randy Wright.

Scenario 2) Rodgers' confidence is destroyed and never comes back. Brian Brohm sucks eggs and goes the way of Randy Wright.

Scenario 3) Favre coming back divides the locker room and the team is torn apart from within.

I'm not saying I agree with any of it or even think that its likely, but its possible.

Why didn't he say he was coming back in March then say he changed his mind if he didn't want to play now? Wouldn't that have been a much better scenario than anything going on right now?

What about the scenario of Favre playing for another team. I think that will impact the Packers a good deal as well. Not many press conferences would go by without a Favre question, especially if he's leading the Vikings to the top of the NFC North.

Favre will never be a Viking. I can guarantee that 100%. In order for Favre to become a Viking that means TT would have to trade him to Minnesota. Mark my words here, TT would never under any circumstances trade Favre to a division rival. Won't happen. My guess is that if he is traded it is to an AFC team that is not on our schedule this year. I don't see a trade affecting Green Bay unless we were to meet each other in the Super Bowl. And that would just take all the fun out of it, so I hope it doesn't happen.
