After sleeping on it for a few days, among other things...

The best option at QB for the Packers is Rodgers. Why? Because like TT said "Rodgers. Because he is actually on the fricken roster"

If Favre returns, you have a split locker room.


Would you rather have one last season with Favre to try to make the SB, when history shows he is going to make the ill advised INT

OR

Would you rather have 15 years of Super Bowl contending teams under Rodgers. Because if Favre comes back, Rodgers is gone.

It could also be several years of Rodgers getting hurt. How do we know what we're getting the fifteen years after Favre leaves ? IMO those options are not fair

Point taken. But Favre has shown the last 10 years, he can't be the guy to take us all the way anymore. I love him to death, but he can't.

Gunkor... you dont think he should be a starting QB in the league? He's top 3 in my book, so ya, he should be a starter just for putting on the uni.. i think everyone forgets how frickin good he is

Paco, Favre is not in the league right now. So no, I don't think he should be a starter. If he comes back he should have to compete for a job same as anyone else. If he's top 5 in the league then he should be able to win the competition anyway. So what's the problem?

Is the problem that Team Favre isn't smart enough to figure out that all he has to do is file and show up and if he's not the opening day starter for the Packers all the heat is directly on TT/MM who are benching a first-ballot hall of famer, statically the #1 QB of all-time, Packer's greatest player of the modern era iron-man, blah, blah, blah. If they're offering a competition, he's got to take it, it's smart by the Packers to do this to gauge his "want to" to come back and dedicate himself 100%, if he doesn't take it on, he didn't really want to come back and we'll sit on his rights, end of story. He's too stubborn to notice this because he wants
R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Once he files and shows up, it's out of the Packers control and everyone around the fence at Clark Hinkle Field know a QB when they see one.
