OFFICIAL BRETT FAVRE WANTS TO PLAY AGAIN THREAD!!!!

[Scott Campbell]

Gosh I'm not sure I agree with much of this. In all likelyhood as asll you'd get is a 3rd - 4th round pick

Of course you're right. Even Al Davis isn't bewildered enough to cough up a 1st for Brett.

Heck, I have no clue if I'm right. The 49ers, I think, got a 1st for Montana in his latter years from KC...but he was committed to playing longer. I could see a team giving up a 3rd or 4th......but that's just me. If I was a team such as Baltimore/Minnesota......I'd throw a 4th at GB w/o hesitation.

If you were GM, do you take him back?

Yes. You would be a dumbass not to.

The guy took a wide eyed, inexperienced bunch on offense and almost willed them to the Super Bowl. With the added experience, Favre's leadership on this offense would make the offense one of the top 5 units in the NFL without question.

However, I would have a real heart to heart with Brett. It is obvious that Brett wore down during the season last year...a trend that has been growing more noticeable in recent years. I think Rodgers has to be a part of the equation this year if Favre returned. I think he proved that he could be counted on last year...and his mobility is an added element that makes life even more difficult for our opponents. Most importantly though, Rodgers is needed to keep Favre fresh...because he simply can't be counted on to last for 17 or 18 games at full strength if he's taking every snap.

There is no way they can think Rodgers is better than Favre...he has no experience as a starter and has never dealt with expectations at this level. That doesn't mean Rodgers should be a statue on the sidelines as a #2.

I can't see many of the veterans wishing Favre would stay away. They want a RING...and every single one of them knows they stand a better chance of getting one in 2008 with Brett Favre under center than with Aaron Rodgers under center.

What about this scenario...

Having both Favre and Rodgers on the roster...but changing up who plays from game to game. Keep the defenses guessing as to which guy they will be facing from week to week. This allows Favre to get some of the needed downtime he seems to require...rather than immediately jumping into film sessions Sunday night, he would have a few extra bye weeks where he can recharge and stay fresh for the playoffs. It gives Rodgers the chance to be a starting QB...even if it is only in a rotation.

Makes sense to me...certainly a rare situation in terms of the NFL, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Personally, I'm looking forward to watching a young, talented quarterback with upside lead the Packers in the years ahead.

Throws drink in Shadow's face for trying to spoil the coming out party

I look forward to that to.....sometime down the road

Rodgers

Rodgers is under contract so no need to move him. Look, he understands it's a business. All I know is the Packers are ready to win a SB right freakin now. The pieces are in place. If Favre commits then let's settle it and move on. We have a season to prepare for...........

I know this sounds good and all; and I agree. But I'd like to give you one reality check and remind you

TT does not want Favre back IMO

The pieces in place? The golden opportunity surprisingly fell right into the Packers' laps LAST season.
The Giants at home??
They controlled their own destiny. That chance doesn't come by often.

What are you saying? Last year was a fluke that we shouldn't expect to happen again?

I guess the Patriots just get lucky every year.

[Merlin]

The Patriots have the ultimate system QB, they just keep plugging in pieces with hard working football players. Last year was the first year I think they really went out and got any brand name talent to make a statement. I think ultimately that will come back to bite them in the ass. They used to get rid of players that demanded x,y, & z. Now with Moss, seemingly they embrace them if they put up the right numbers.

Not exactly. A solid team/coaching + Tom Brady MAKE their own luck; take advantage of the opportunity.

So what is a solid team/coaching + Brett Favre? Chopped liver?

You don't have to move Rodgers, cause Favre isn't coming back.

Oh hell yes if I'm the Queens I throw a 3rd at TT for Favre. The Queens offense would be SCARY good with Favre under center. Question is, if you were TT, would you take a 3rd (or any offer for that matter) from Minnesota for Favre? I don't think I could trade him to a divison rival at any price. I don't think I could stand watching Favre run out of the visitors tunnel at Lambeau wearing purple...

No, not at all.
I believe you observed it last season.
