Favre . Wanted or not?

[packers11]

Simple poll. If Favre wants back in (which is rumored he does) would you like to see him week 1 as the starting qb for the GBP?

[swede]

Football may be a simple game to Brett but it's a little more complicated for the GM, the coaches, and the players.

This team has already been re-tooled around another quarterback, one who was moved into the starting position on the depth chart because Brett retired or didn't feel enough love--whichever you choose to believe--and the bottom line is that Brett quit and the team had to move on.

If the coaches and players don't have a problem with Brett returning then I don't have a problem with Brett returning. I want what's best for the team in the long run.

[Bretsky]

I'd say yes, but would not blame the Packer brass if they said no.

[Bretsky]

This will be interesting; my bet is it is close but more will vote no.

I wonder...as report after report come out....if everybody would acknowldge there may be a rift between Favre and TT and TT wants no part of Favre anymore ?

[packinpatland]

Is it true that TT went down to Mississsippi to see Favre in May?
And if that's true.........why?

[MJZiggy]

My guess would be warmth and golf...Was there a cold snap in Wis this May?

Depends on what kind of rift. Personality rift? Or was it just because its Ted's job to replace Brett.

[packers11]

I voted yes for 1 simple reason...

I want to win NOW... NOW is the only thing that matters... Nothing is guaranteed... Put the best players on the field NOW...
Favre > Rodgers for the 2008-2009 season...

Favre is proven, and the team's window is at its greatest it has been in awhile... IF Rodgers turns out to be good in the near future, thats great, but he could also be a flop...

[TravisWilliams23]

Too early to say. I want training camp to begin and I want to see if Arod can move the offense during pre-season games and NOT get injured! I think Favre could come in and run any offense MM may have installed. Plus if he's the coach I think he is, he'll have all pre-season to adjust the team to Favre again. One problem TT may have with the un-retirement is that 12 million in cap space. Maybe it screws up plans to rework a few key players contracts. Just a thought.

well, your poll reflects your bias. most people are unhappy saying Favre is unwanted. maybe i am nit-picking

[oregonpackfan]

Swede made some valid points. As the Packers coaches, GM have shifted their focus for the future, I believe it is time for the Packers to move forward without Brett Favre.

Please do not take my point as dissrespecting Brett Favre. As a Packer fan, I will always be grateful for his dedication, spirit, toughness, and will to win. He made his decision to retire and the Packers have made decisions to start the 2008 without Favre.

[Harlan Huckleby]

i expect favre is totally fine playing in another city, even if gb is his preference. I think people read too much anger/disrespecting/etc. into favre's relationship with TT. i think things are just happening like they appear on the surface. Favre changed his mind very late, the packersw have moved on. No hard feelings or intrigue.

There is NO EVIDENCE and virtually no credibility to any of these reports. Why are people so quick to believe these media assholes who at best are trying to create a story where there is none, and at worst are trying to stir up trouble that harms the Packers?

I voted no. I honestly think the Packers would be at least as well off with Rodgers as with the '07 Favre, and they would be a helluva lot better off with Rodgers than with Favre giving the 80% of last year effort he supposedly wants to do, and playing like '06 or worse.

[mmmdk]

Winning is paramount but I still say 'NO'.

[Carolina_Packer]

I say yes and I hope he is allowed to come back. He's still got it until I see that he's lost it. I think most here would be OK with Favre coming back if he had waiting to announce his intentions and had not held a presser to retire. If he had announced he was coming back this year late last season, many here would be glad. Look, you can always insert A-Rod if need be.
