Al Jones: Blame Thompson

[Fritz]

Agree; if TT does not want Favre that takes stones

And good or bad TT will be closely judged by his decision.

Good, bad or indifferent, I think it's pretty obvious that he's fearless and willing to put his job on the line for what he truely believes. Nobody, except Ted and Mike, have to answer for this. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt that they are looking out for their own best interests if not for the interest of the organization that they seem to have fully committed to. Maybe we don't understand, but they get paid to have forsight and their jobs are dependant on it. I think this, like the past crazy moves, will turn out to be a pro-Packer experience.

There you go thinking again,of course you are the most devoted TT leghumper on this forum so it wouldn't matter what he does you would think it was good. While Dumb fuck TT is running players out of town that will take this team to the play offs why stop at Brett. Let's get rid of Driver after all he is getting old. Don't give Grant a new contract,if he were packer people he would play for FREE. Kampman is my favorite D player but he prbably doesn't fit into the TT scheme either SHIP HIM. Jennings oughta be worth about 25 draft picks. I could go on but you get my point.

Sigh. You're right, Packerarcher. There he goes, thinking again. Don't you just hate it when people actually think instead of just reacting emotionally?

I think he's saying the Packers are not doing what they think is best but rather teasing Brett Favre by going with Rodgers instead. I would never assume someone to have such a trait, but hey, maybe MrAynRand has some insight into human tendancy that we're unaware of. Is there something about yourself that you need to share, MrAyn?

My point is pretty simple: It makes no sense to want to go with Rodgers over Favre. It sure seems (based on ANONYMOUS SOURCES) that it's because he was indecisive. That to me is a really bad reason to make a really bad move.

The Best move would be to start Favre with Rodgers as backup - you replace Favre when he sucks or gets hurt.

But I could easily be wrong. MM and TT wouldn't be doing what they're doing if they didn't have a lot of confidence in Rodgers and think that the Favre circus was disrupting things.

But to me it's a big so what? Favre gives them the best chance to win until he starts to suck. And if he starts to suck, well that's why they drafted Rodgers.

Plus, as an organization, you don't flush the most popular guy in the sport, after one of his best years ever, ESPECIALLY since he worked his ass off to get better in the offense and reduce mistakes, and he bailed the entire team out in the first half of the season, when the O line and running backs sucked.

Let's look at it from another perspective. You can make the arguement that Favre bailed the Packers out the first half of the season. Fine. I'll make the arguement that I've been making since November of last year, which is that the WR's - Driver, Jennings, Jones, etc. - were the ones who made Favre look so good. Don't believe me? Look up which team led the league in yards AFTER the catch last year. And in the first half of the season - the one in which you credit Lord Favre alone for bailing the team out of - it wasn't even close. We were leading the league in number of 5 yard slants turned into 25 yard gains by a VERY wide margin. And in case you didn't know, those same guys are coming back to make defenders look foolish while leading the league in YAC again this year, Favre or no Favre.

Hey,Boywonder the receivers may have HELPED Favre look good but if you don't have a RELIABLE QB in there to take the snaps who the fuck throws it to the receivers. Having a QB that you can count on to play every game is HUGE,just ask the Bears. I think the majority of you Favre bashers really don't understand that this man has incredible mental toughness and heart. These are things that are VERY valuable to any good football player,but since you can't find it on a stat sheet there are those that never will understand it.

Oh WTF Archer, you've seen Rodgers play in 2 fucking games in 3 years and that's enough for you to form a solid opinion about him? ROFL.

I bet these fools don't realize that he helps old ladies cross the street too.

Maybe if Brett had gotten more media coverage, people would understand that he's a great football player. Why does Ted have to hog all the good press? And don't get me started on Madden. What a man crush he has on Ted.

I would like to point out that on the old JS forum gunakor pretty much defended BF after the "interception". He is not a TT leg humper or a favre hater, but simply analyzing the situation as it is now. And he usually does a pretty decent job of it. Favre is an all time great, but he should not be held above the team.
