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

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.

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

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.

Sorry the NFL is win now mentality league. You take your chance at the Super Bowl when you can. If Favre is the answer at QB in 2008 to make that run then I go with Favre. How exactly will Favre coming back damage the team for years to come? How damaged are we now with Favre retiring?

Seems like every player that has commented on Favre coming back is for it. Weird.

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?

Rodgers gets a full season working with the first string offense in 2008. His timing is better in 2009 and 2010, and he operates the offense much more efficiently.

Or....

Favre gets another full season working with the first string offense in 2008. Rodgers development is pushed back yet another year. Rodgers gets upset and maybe demands a trade - as he very well should after being promised the starting job already. Favre may or may not take us to a SB this year. Then he retires (again) after 2008. Enter Rodgers in 2009 (if he's even still here) but he doesn't have the camaradarie with the first string offense that he'd have if he were the starter in 2008. What he does have is one less year in his football career, as do Jennings and Nelson and Grant and everyone else that Rodgers is being asked to lead to a SB. One less year for them to work together to master this offense and own this league.

The future starts now. I loved watching Brett play but it's time to move on. This is A-Rod's team now.

OK. One less year...because you are using that year to gun for a Super Bowl trip with a HOF caliber QB. Sounds like a reasonable tradeoff.

So, again...how does that fuck everything up? Instead of a bunch of 24 and 25 year olds, we'll have 25 and 26 year olds. God forbid!!!

Maybe he'll lead us to the SB. Maybe not. There's no guarantees. If not, what happens when he pulls this stunt again next summer?

Look, I don't blame him specifically for the loss in the NFC Championship game. But the truth is if he wanted to win that game bad enough, and he had brought his A game with him that day, it would have been more than enough to make up for Ryan Grant not getting it going or Al Harris getting toasted by Plax. He had his shot. So as I just typed in my last post:

Besides that, what if Rodgers demands a trade because he was lied to about starting this year? Then come next year we have no Favre and we have no Rodgers. We'd have Brohm, but he'd be 2 years behind learning this offense and the defenses he'll be facing. We'd be absolutely screwed at QB next year unless we could rent a washed up veteran FA like Daunte Culpepper. That's another very believable outcome to bringing Favre back this year...

Ah we know where you stand Zig; regardless you agree with TT. He could bring TJ Rubley back and you'd find a way to justify that

It's the conspiracy theory Leap........lol

BTW, I completely agree with you. The team would welcome Favre back.

TT IMO will not though.

I'm not for TT. I'm for the Packers. There's a difference. What TT has done so far has been good for the Packers. That you couldn't see it last year is does not mean I'm for TT. He fucks up my team, he's toast in my book. I simply trust at this point that he won't do that.
