Dungy sides with GB in Favre matter

[RashanGary]

Partial should call that idiot, Dungy and tell him he doesn't know a damn thing about football. Training camp didn't even start yet

Call Dungy? If partial had to call all the people that he thought were idiots....we'd never see him post here again.

Dungy struck again in an interview with WMVP in Chicago. For those who believe that the coach would have it easy to switch from Rodgers to Favre as the starter, please read.

Dungy: "It's not that easy to do. I put myself in the coach's position, if Peyton had come to me in February and said, 'Hey, I'm retiring,' my whole emphasis to the team for the next four months would be, 'We can't regret not having Peyton Manning, we can't look back, we've got to win, here's what we're going to do on offense now, we're going to do everything that fits Jim Sorgi, we're going to move on, and we can't have the white elephant of Peyton Manning in the back of our heads.' And now, you come back, and well, he is going to be there, maybe he's going to be there for a few weeks, maybe he's into it, maybe he's not. It's not as easy as you think, just to say 'Okay, let's have him come back.' It's a tough situation for both sides, and by the same token, you've got one of the greatest players in the history of your franchise that you do want to take care of, so it's probably a no-win situation right now."

You know what, this is an excellent point. It's also about the coach's credibility. If he gives the above spiel to his team and gets on anyone who's mooning for the past, how can he just say to the whole team "Just forget I said all that," and then if the QB re-retires, go back and once more tell the team the whole "we're moving on" speech?

Exactly, Fritz. When people say distraction to the team these days, there is an almost blasé reaction. Given how many stories erupt that play out on the internet and TV 24 hrs per day, it seems like they pass in no time.

But that doesn't mean that people aren't affected. Reading or watching at home doesn't really interfere with my day. But if you had to live with the impact, it might change your mind.

It's easy here folks....We know Peyton's been itching for years (a great QB, not one of the 10 best EVER) to break Favre's records...He's said as much. If Favre comes back and throw 20 more TD's it makes Peyton play till his late 30's which no QB can do this side of Moon and Favre if he plays....Fuck Dungy. Yea, that's it.

Sorry...not buying that bridge.
