The official Brett Favre for QB in 2008 thread

[MJZiggy]

Yes i am. why would you pay for anything? In that case we should all chip in $100 each to this forum cos were all taking each other for a free ride.

His point is you get what you give.

[MJZiggy]

Did i now?

Great. So we've established that there's nothing better out there, so quit bitching.

Rastak stirring up trouble as usual.

Gene Wojciechowski was basically right in his read of the quality of the Packers arguments, but dead wrong about who would come out on top.

Still one of the gutsiest, if terribly executed decisions, I have ever witnessed by a team. Even in retrospect, it looks dumb at a first read

Thinking about it now, I think the Packers hamstrung themselves publicly by basically refusing to say what they were all thinking: Rodgers will be better for longer. The original cheaper now and for the next 5 years. No one wanted to put that kind of pressure on the kid. The most remarkable thing about Rodgers might be that he survived it. Would crush most people.

Even at the time, I thought it was a hell of a long shot bet. McCarthy to this day might be expecting a big 5th year jump from Nick MacDonald or Poppinga. But in reality, 3 years of him in practice running the scout team told them the truth.

I challenge anyone to watch this video from 9 months ago, look in the mirror at yourself and say out loud...."Aaron Rodgers would be a better QB for the Packers this year, let Brett Favre go QB somewhere else"

At the end of the day, TT and Coach won't be able to do that. I question anyone who could.

Despite the waffling, despite the hurt feelings, Brett will return and reclaim his position as the starting QB for the Green Bay Packers.

Shaun Bodiford sighting!

I like bumps. Keeps everybody honest--although the context of wanting Favre over Rodgers has change considerably since the original post.

me too. lol

My point from yesterday was i saw it coming, and KNEW, based on play and lots of other factors, that Rodgers would be better than Favre. Id take 2008 struggles for what Rod has produced over the last 10 years. Hes top 5 BEST of all TIME. Hes better than Mahomes, unless Mahomes goes next level beyond what hes been showing.

How did i KNOW? How did you KNOW you were in love with your partner? You just KNEW. No explanation necessary. Intuition is running everyones show.

I knew, intuitively, that the Packers were going to go 6 - 10 this year. The fact that that's not going to happen is not a problem of my intuition, but a problem of the Packers not understanding how bad they actually are.

Favre outplayed Rodgers head to head twice in 2009.

I knew intuitively that Diane Lane would date me in 1990. My intuition overrode the fact that we lived in different cities, she was a movie star, and I was a schlub living off a 14K stipend in a Menlo Park ghetto.

If you really believe it, its not a lie.
