My only questions is....who's mom?

[The Leaper]

Ahem. What about this particular day?

Hey, I'll give the Cards credit for finish off a Vikings team that had quit around week 8. I cheered for them for a couple minutes.

Their franchise remains pathetic though. I wouldn't wish being a full-time fan of them on anyone.

True.

And we need to show Ras that video.

Re: Favre

I agree. I may feel sorry for Aaron's current situation, but in terms of putting the best team on the field in 2008 there is no doubt in my mind who I want the starting QB to be.

I agree with you, but I have to say that I think that in terms of putting the best team on the field in 2009, 2010, and 2011 it would probably be best that we start the Aaron Rodgers era ASAP.

That's why I'm so conflicted about this whole debacle. I really wish that what Favre was going to do in July was what he said in March, whatever his final decision is.

So yet another media asshole comes out and spews some crap. Who cares! The guy is a God damned know-nothing with an agenda. If that agenda ain't overtly to stir up trouble for the Packers, it is at least to promote himself with no regard for the harm to the Packers.

Screw him and the horse he road in on--and all the rest of the stinking media bastards!

Everyone who wants to turn the page, start the Rodger's era, etc..etc...
What are the odds that A-Rod can't do it, what if he sucks. 30%,40%, 50%. Then what? Do we go with Brohm? Maybe get a retread free agent QB? I didn't know there was so many gamblers out there.

The same could be asked if we welcome Favre back. What if he doesn't lead us to the promised land and he decided, for good, that this will be his last year. What do we do? Go with Brohm, get a tired old veteran? You might as well face it, if the team welcomes Favre back they probably kiss AROD goodbye.

I'm not sure if the locker room is big enough for Favre and Rodgers now. If they bring Favre back, I think Rodgers has to be traded. Now that they've drafted Brohm, that's not such a far-fetched idea. Plus, given the age difference and salary difference, it might be easier to trade Rodgers than Favre.

Who cares about all this?

Why really are the Packers in a bad spot?

Best think for TT and MM to do is come out next week, remind us all if any OTA's are left and when camp starts. Then its up to Brett....if he shows up, he can play if not, I guess he is retired. Meaning: He comes back under the Packers terms, not Brett. He needs to be here every day.

The cap hit means nothing to the Packers - we all know TT isn't going to use it anyway. Make Brett play all through camp and in preseason games. Ironically, the best thing that could happen to the Packers is Brett gets hurt(not that I'm wishing that).

Drafting Brohm and Flynn would've happend if Brett retired or not. If Rogers says he won't resign, then we are in the same boat like today: We don't really know what Rogers/Brohm/Flynn can do.

[RashanGary]

The Packers are in a good position, not a bad one. They have a choice to bring back one of last years best QB's or go on with the guy that they've groomed. A few weeks ago they didn't have the choice to bring Favre back.

Rodgers will be hurt. He'll get over it, it's buisness.

If Thompson doesn't want Favre back he'll trade him or cut him. He really doesn't care what the fans say or do. Really, he just has an extra option right now and the PR department has a headache to deal with. I hope they do not take Favre back. Let him go somewehre else and learn a new offense. Good luck. People will bitch and complain here, but their voices are meaningless.

[The Shadow]

"What are they gonna do - cut me?"

Somewhere Mike McKenzie and Javon Walker must certainly be having a chuckle over all this.

Yeah, I was thinking about this earlier today too, Joe. If I were Ted (and thank God I'm not), then what I'd want from Favre is a 2 year commitment, with the added responsibility of training/educating Brohm too.

Having Brohm start in the beginning of year 3, would be just as good as where we are today with Rodgers, and Rodgers probably fetches an as good, if not better, draft pick than Favre does right now.

I might be open to that idea, but, I was looking forward to Rodgers starting, I thought it was time... But, Ted and MM are screwed here if Favre wants to push it. Either way, the downside sucks.

Justin, not so sure your boy has "balls of steel" and doesn't care what the fan base thinks, but we shall see. I also don't think that this is a "clear cut decision" - FOR ANYONE INVOLVED.

[Scott Campbell]

........then what I'd want from Favre is a 2 year commitment, ........

Man, fat chance that'll happen. If we bring back Favre there are no guarantees that we won't be subjected to the same crap next summer. It's probably worth it - even though it's annoying.
