Speak up, Packers, if you don't want Favre

[Packerarcher]

I just don't understand how some of you think Rodgers is the QB to win with. He is a frickin puss,plus all he really has is fair mobility. Favre is the way to win you guys want to win don't you. Go ahead and back a injury prone QB that is a prick to the fans.

Tell us how you really feel.

I think the packers just don't want to deal with the see sawing that favre does every off season. Talk is cheap. Once camp starts we will know what is going on.

Come on now. You can call him injury prone but puss? Seriously? Being injury prone and being soft are two completely different things. The guy played with a broken foot. Rodgers is not soft. He maybe injury prone, but he's not soft.

I agree 100% with the article...and I think Gene must be channeling me, since he's copied several of the items I've been saying for the past few days. Bastard.

The man is quoting what Thompson "would have said" because he didn't say anything. Maybe Thompson didn't say anything because Favre didn't say anything...Either way, you can't deduct what he would have said from silence. That's just stupid.

Damn, he dropped Favre from the 80-man roster after he retired. The BASTARD!!

Why would Thompson go back to Hattiesburg? Rumor has it he was just there a couple weeks ago...

God I hate national media!!

Re: Favre

So, is that worth bringing an 80% committed Favre back for a potential SB run in 2008? If we don't win the SB is it still worth it?[/quote]


yes.[/quote]

Really? How so? Please do elaborate. Let's think about this for a second.

We bring Favre back. We lose in the Playoffs. Rodgers becomes unhappy and asks for a trade. Packers give in and trade him, or we wait until he becomes a free agent. Rodgers becomes a stud, and we're left with a falling prospect in Brohm. That's worth it? Awesome!

I will save you the time of reading all of the reasons why Favre is superior to anything Rodgers is now or will be but the reason it is worth it is that NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING is ever guaranteed in sports.. there is not one guaranteed Rodgers is ever any good at all... but there is one that Favre is a HOF QB and may be the best we'll ever have... now if you don't want to take a shot with the best player the packers may ever have, then I don't know what the hells wrong with u... and on the fact of, if we have a QB of the future or not... well isn't that why we drafted Brohm in the 2nd round? It's not like he was drafted that much lower than Rodgers was in his draft... I just cannot believe the number of idiots that wouldn't roll with one of the best players that you may ever see...

Re: Favre

By the way, NFLN is reporting that the Packers front office is really considering bringing Favre back to start this year.

could you post something where it says that.. I only wish that charter communications would get the NFLN... thanks

And could you let us know who from the Packer organization said this? The unnamed sources and unsubstantiated rumors are getting out of control.

It was Ted Thompson's brother's friend's high school wrestling coach.

Wow. Right from the top.

[MJZiggy]

Thanks, I'm glad we've cleared that up. Wait a minute, why is it the Packers' job to announce whether they want him if Favre hasn't applied for reinstatement? The Packers don't have to do shit right now. Favre is still retired until he indicates otherwise.

Notice how neither Favre nor the Packers have commented on this story in days (well to be fair, the Packers haven't commented on it since March) and yet it spins wilder and wilder, further out of control??? I wonder how that happens...

Was he buying a new Chevy from Van Boxtel Ford at the time too?

Bus Cook and ESPN are the ones spinning it

And what was Rodgers? Oh ya, a falling prospect 3 yrs ago.

Look, I doubt anyone likes the way Favre has handled this, but the truth is it looks like we've got a shot now, and we'd be daft not to take it. I agree that the team is young, and we should be good for a while, but this is the NFL, and shit happens.

I think Rodgers has a better shot than most at being a good QB in the NFL. He's been able to learn the game properly (I always thought the ways rookie QB's are thrown in is suicidal, and the reason for the high failure rate) but he's still what he is - a first year starter. And the truth is, we just can't be sure what we've got at this point.

Much is made about the thought if Favre is back, Rodgers hits the trail. That probably leaves us with Brohm. Who knows. It seems to have taken Rodgers 3yrs to mature. It might take Brohm that long, which means if he gets thrown in after one year on then bench it'll be trouble, but he may also pick it up well enough to be 'the guy' next year.

Great article, both Favre and TT need to stop playing fucking games and get it all out on the table.

I agree. Favre retired in march and should stay retired though; I wanted Favre to come back, post-retirement but what done is done. Just an opinion.

Note: I'm getting an eerie feeling about this upcoming season and it ain't thoughts of championships.
