In some ways I don't blame him for wanting out. He's given us all he's had. His blood, sweat, tears. He's won us more games in his time here than any other franchise. He's given us every record there is. He's won us a super bowl and 3 mvp's. He brough the Green Bay Packers outta Siberia and to one of the most respected franchises there is in the NFL. He's done a lot of this without a great supporting cast year in year out. (yes, I know the Super Bowl teams were good, but not that many after were)Originally posted by sharpe1027Originally posted by pbmax
He has DONE all this... and we are treating him like an outsider. OH NO!, we changed the offensive scheme a little bit, big fricken deal. To me its a joke that both sides have put themselves in this position but its an even bigger joke that TT won't tell Favre that he is the Packers best option to win and he can get him to the SB and win it and that if Favre will commit to him 100%, that he can have his starting job back. It's really simple, it really is....Comment

Favre is the one asking to be released. He is the one who retired, got everyone all worked up in May, then stayed retired. His agent and family are the ones stirring the pot.Originally posted by Pacopete4In some ways I don't blame him for wanting out. He's given us all he's had. His blood, sweat, tears.

He may not want to play for Green Bay. It may be that simple. That would explain why he almost seems to be trying to piss off the Packers organization.Comment

In the interview tonight he says that him not wanting to play in Green Bay is untrue its that he is not wanted... and I believe him because TT is a fuckin weasly joke of a man and wants gayrod to win him a super bowl so he looks like a genius and it just aint gonna happenComment

Yes, I'm sure that's top on his list. TT was also the second gunman on the grassy knoll.Originally posted by Pacopete4Comment

So in other words Favre wants the organization to bend over backwards to make him feel better or to do something that's not in their interests because he wants them to. Are you honestly telling me that Favre is this much of a fucking prima donna?Originally posted by Pacopete4

Why did they agree to take him back in March? And why did Favre back out? Thompson wasn't pushing him out then.

This isn't the first time that we have heard from the Favre camp that he doesn't feel wanted. I think however this is the first time he said it himself. I agree that the Packers can't just say "Yeah Brett you're the starter" until at the very least he files for reinstatement. At that time the Packers need to issue a statement upon their intentions. I don't see a huge riff being created here, I see mixed and crossed communications. It is quite possible that Thompson has no idea how to talk to Favre or other people for that matter. He isn't exactly a people person. Sherman certainly wasn't which is fine for a GM but not for a coach. I can see how things got messed up if indeed Thompson really wanted Favre to stick around. But by his own words and actions over the years including now, it doesn't look to me (as well as a lot of fans), that Thompson wants Favre around. If fans can see it, what does Favre see? McCarthy obviously is in a tough spot. He has to kiss the royal ring so to speak in order to be unified and keep his job. If he has an opinion that he wants Favre back and thinks Rodgers isn't the answer or anything in between, you can be sure we will never hear it, that is if McCarthy wants to remain the Packers head coach. Now that's all speculative but until Favre is back as an active player, nothing really matters. Once he is reinstated, then the fun begins and the soap opera will blossom into a mini-series and maybe a made for TV movie. Bottom line, Favre needs to be re-instated and then the real game begins. He only has a few weeks here to do so I think to even be considered playing for Green Bay this season. Just watch and wait, someone will look stupid in this and I suspect it will be Favre, which is sad."Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”

I have doubts that Thompson is sending this message because the only people who report on this phenomenon are from Favre's side of the aisle.
That to me sounds less like testimony and more like an agenda on the Favre side.
Thompson has built a very good team around this QB, one that would not have been possible had we followed every free agent that Brett and various packerrats have championed each year. He clearly knows what he is doing.
This isn't enough for Favre. $12 million, a berth in the NFC Championship game, the best lineup of pass-catchers in the NFC and a team that will get BETTER in the next two years isn't good enough. He needs the team to BEG him to come back?
Please. This is a manufactured controversy. The only one who has acted is Favre. He has been talking about retirement since 2001 when Sherman came on board. He retired. He declined to unretire after he said he wanted to. He kept giving hints he might not be done. He didn't ask to come back to the team. He asked for his release. He wants out.
Whatever happened to injury insurance?
