Part II

[Deputy Nutz]

Is that it? repeated questions about coming into camp as a back up?

Favre doesn't want to compete for a starting job in Green Bay. There is that ego again. I think a competition between Rodger and Favre is the only fair way for Favre to comeback.

Like he said "why?"


Why does he have to prove himself that he is the best QB? Do you think Tom Brady is having a training camp battle? How bout Carson Palmer? Tony Romo?... its a joke to even think he'd have to battle it out, it really is..

[BF4MVP]

Looks like they didn't air the part where Favre bashed TT for some of his personnel decisions..

Either the JS is full of crap, or they realized how stupid of Brett it was to say those things...Totally irrelevant and unnecessary as I see it..Although I would have liked to see what context those comments were made in...

Are you for real? Hahaha even Faux Noise knows how dumb he was with that.

Did those guys vacate their position in the off-season? Maybe he isn't as good as Rodgers anymore, how do you know? It is the only way to shut everyone up. Rodgers loses the job, and he can be pissed about it, but then it is on him, he wasn't good enough to beat a 38 year old Brett Favre.

I would lean more towards tha what they claimed was the transcript, was just more sportswriter speculation bullshit.

Same Shit, Different day

He spent his whole career proving himself.. now that he missed a mini camp he, as a HOF QB coming off an amazing year, has to go back and prove to the Packers that he is better than a guy thats never taken an NFL snap?.. it dont add up, the only reason that could be is to keep Arod happy, but the NFL is not about keeping backups happy, its about winning games

[RashanGary]

Well, if it wasn't ego's and lines in the sand before it is now. Favre won't show up because he knows he's not wanted and he has pride (like anybody should). The Packers will not take him back because I think they see him as a bit of a cancer at this point and he challenged them. Football guys who make it in this league are pretty competitive. Somehow I don't see the Packers backing down one ounce after that. Call it man pride, but even if they wanted him a little bit I don't think they'll even consider now.

[Pacopete4]

So far that poll they are taking is 12,000 for him to come back as the starter and about 2,000 for them to trade or release

In two weeks you'll have the answer Paco. It's going to be hard to accept but you might as well start getting used to not seeing him in the Green and Gold now. I really don't see any way out of this.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Brohm and Flynn are not even the roster.

Two weeks ago I was telling my Dad who lives in Wisconsin how Flynn has the least pressure on to make the roster.

Things change.

[Pacopete4]

There is still some time for TT/MM to feel the heat, its only going to get worse as training camp gets closer.. but yes, my life will go on if he is not the starter but it'l really tick me off if TT lets him play for someone else and not us. Other than that I'm backin the Packers no matter whos back there.. but right now its time to support Brett

[Bossman641]

It's pretty obvious Favre has no bombshells, no big secrets of how TT and MM screwed him over. He thinks he should be handed the starting job and is upset it's not happening. I just don't get how people can continue to defend Favre the way they have.

Looking purely at the facts:
Player A retires
Player A has chance to come back, is welcomed, and changes his mind
Player A decides a month before TC he wants back in
Organization tells him it's too late

How is this their fault? IMO, this entire situation is 90% Favre's fault. The problem is that people can't think coherently when Favre is involved. People are too emotionally attached. They remember the memories and can't think logically.

If you replaced Favre/MM/TT with Brady/Belichek/Kraft or Manning/Dungy/Polian, 99% of the people in this forum (everyone but Bulldog) would be saying fuck Brady/Manning and calling them selfish babies.

[MJZiggy]

He's never had a camp battle since he took over. I don't see the big deal if winning the job back would be so easy. Come in, put Rodgers in his place and take what's yours. That's what happens when you retire, they give your job away and you want to come back.

NOOOO WAAAAY.. now I really don't like those QB's but like us, those teams would be morons to not let Manning or Brady come back and play.. its that simple. Yes, Favre screwed up in retired, PRESSURED OR NOT, but he's back, 100%, he said it tonight... there should be ZERO hold up now in having him back
