The perfect plan

[The Leaper]

The organization needs to know whether A-Rod can be the man, and the best way to find out is to let the kid develop a body of work.

Rodgers is under contract for two more years.

If he is the starter this year, he'll want an extension after this one...or he'll be upset and could still test the market just as much as if he was still the backup in 2008.

[The Leaper]

It was not uncommon at the college level.....until coaches realized it just didn't work. Tebow and Leak were the exception, not the rule.

Yeah...so Favre and Rodgers could be the exception. Again, it is RARE that an NFL team has 2 guys at QB that are both capable starters. Most teams don't even have one capable starter at this point.

Again, what was Arizona's record? How maany playoff games did they win? That was a real brilliant strategy.

Again...that isn't the question at hand. Comparing the depth and talent of the two rosters overall is ludicrous.

Actually that is the part of the question as it was hailed as a brilliant move. Their record proves otherwise. Revolving QB don't work.

From a PR standpoint it was brilliant, and the QB position didn't cause the team to lose. To me the only thing that can hold this young talented Packers team down is drama in the media, clubhouse, and team management. Strong leadership and creativity is what the Packers need now.

BUt if the Packers don't make the playoffs becuase of revolving QB's, thats OK. The PR is awesome!. Im sure Cardinal fans (both of them)love the PR over a playoff berth.

Who the hell labeled (sorry, heralded!!!) that brilliant? Michael Irvin?

Maybe just a desperate move for a coach who had a shitty old QB and a promising young one with absolutely no experience.

Leinert is no Rodgers.

Warner is no Favre.

Packers are no Cardinals.

CPK is No Mission.

:P

Next.

I can only imagine Favre with that 40 yard throw across the middle into traffic after waiting two series to get in the game and just trying to make an immediate impact.

Sideline tension always helps professional football teams win.

It works in college because there is no ego yet, seniority is exactly that and starting quarterbacks arent 14 years apart in age.

If the guy can come in on 4th down after a concussion and throw a bullet TD pass...only to not even remember doing it later...then I'm sure he will be just fine coming in after a 10 minute break.

If Favre stays home, and Rodgers struggles...you don't think there will be sideline tensions?

you seem to be good buds with Favre. Tell him to file his papers and come to camp, we can use him.

Reggie Bush had no ego in college?

BWAH-HA-HA-HA

College players are CONSTANTLY bending rules in college because their ego is out the roof. These guys have been coddled since they were 12.

I'd love to. He can be a real pussy at times.

You might want to reread the thread as it was GoPackGo that labeled at as a brilliant move and it was he and The Lepaer who brought it up in the first place.

Why can’t Brett be the starting QB with Rodgers coming in for certain packages?
You get the best of both worlds. HOF QB remains on the team, young QB in training gets an opportunity to show what he can do.

I brought that idea up several weeks ago...and I think it could EASILY work in Green Bay. McCarthy is a strong enough offensive coach to pull it off, and Favre and Rodgers both have enough experience in the system that it could work. It would be to the Packers benefit...because the differences between the 2 QBs in how defenses have to play them, like Leinart and Warner, are striking.

Design packages for Rodgers and let him run 2-3 series per game as well as mop-up duty. It would likely reduce Favre's attempts to under 400 for the season and keep him fresh for a stretch run.

I agreed with you on this Leaper. Add this to my above post and I think both parties are pacified for the short term. Rodgers gets his playing time, Favre keeps his streak and really all is well. Unfortunately this isn't the case like many of you pointed out. We don't live in fairyland, I can't make wishes to get this thing straightened out.

We don't live in fairyland,

I think Woody does.

Thompson will trade Favre. He's already made it known that Favre is not welcome as the starting QB in Green Bay...and having Brett as a backup would be counterproductive to giving Rodgers the starting job. How can the kid be expected to play when NFL legend Brett Favre is looking over his shoulder?

Favre will not be playing QB for the Packers ever again. Thompson has made is painfully clear that is not an acceptable option.

Then Ted Thompson is quite possibly the dumbest person in the NFL.

MAybe you just haven't met the right fairy. And why you want to get straightened out, anyway? Be proud of who you are.
