Part II

[Sparkey]

I know nothing about what happened with the Giants.

It is simple. Strahan rode the fence on retirement THROUGH TRAINING CAMP. The Giants ultimately welcomed him back and Strahan's dominance on the DL helped them win a title.

Claiming the position matters is ridiculous. I thought your position was that it was about the TEAM...that everyone had to pull their weight regardless.

Strahan rode the fence ....

Favre RETIRED!

This is not just semantics .... He retired or more harshly worded .. Quit !

Strahan rode the fence ....

Favre RETIRED!

Strahan rode the fence DURING TRAINING CAMP.

Favre is ready to go BEFORE TRAINING CAMP.

Huge difference.

We don't know if we will see the 2007 version of Favre or the 2005-2006 version.

I disagree. When has Favre not been highly productive when surrounded with talent? If you can point out an instance, I'll concede your point.

2005? Do you really expect Favre to light up the league throwing to guys like Taco Wallace? That year was a complete disaster due to injuries. Is it Favre's fault he was the only guy that didn't get hurt?

2006? Favre wasn't his best, but again he didn't have much to work with. The OL was a complete mess in 2006, and Favre had little time to stand in the pocket and make decisions.

Then why wouldn't Aaron be highly productive with the same talent that Brett had last year?

Favre: 250+ starts in the NFL
Rodgers: 0 starts in the NFL

I still don't get the people who seem to think going from Favre to Rodgers is going to be some seamless, easy transition. Do you watch what happens to other teams when they make switches to inexperienced kids?
