What do you want to happen next?

[Harlan Huckleby]

We are really down to three outcomes, at least for the next stage of this drama. Pick your poison.

(If Favre comes to camp, he may or may not become the starter, but that's a whole new saga. We don't know whether the trade would happen right away, or several weeks down the line. No way is TT going to release Favre or quickly demote Rodgers.)

If Favre decides to go to camp there is no way he ends up not being the starter.

I think its unpredictable. The team wants Aaron Rodgers to succeed, so he will get benefit of the doubt. If Favre looks clearly better in preseason, than ya, sure.

What if Favre were to show up with the attitude, "I'm gonna put the team first. I'll be the backup if that's what the coaches think is best." Holy Christ - what a win-win-win-win (Favre, Rodgers, fans, team) situation!

[Joemailman]

Favre should definitely come to camp. If he does, the Packers have to show him respect, which means they allow him to compete for the starting job. They cannot tell guys like Aaron Rouse and Allen Barbre that they have a chance to win a starting job, and tell Brett Favre that he does not. If Brett comes back with no guarantees, he wins back all the goodwill he has lost recently, and then some.

Favre comes to his senses, remembers he is about to turn 39, and apologizes to the Packers organization and fans for this mess.

Favre still has the legacy of: the greatest Packer QB ever to wear the green and gold, one of the greatest QB's ever to play in the game, many NFL QB records, a Super Bowl win, the respect of millions of people who follow the NFL, and having never suffered a season-ending injury for 17 years in the NFL.

May he retire with all those components of his legacy intact.

K I fixed your quote...

Those who want Favre back; get real. Favre not only burned bridges, he scorched them. Stay retired Favre or be traded. Days with Packers should be done with.

[Joemailman]

Nah, a player doesn't burn bridges by having a rift with the GM. He hasn't ripped his teammates, or even his coaches. It probably won't happen, but the bridge is still there if Favre wants to cross it.

I would agree with Joe. He sort of wired the charges but hasn't pushed the plunger yet.

I'm generally disgusted with Favre, but were some sort of arrangement made that resulted in him coming back and playing I would be supportive of his effort.

My opinion of him, however, is forever changed, . .

Really.

I hate that it has. But it has.

Let's get on with the program. I don't hate the guy, he's still the greatest Packer I've ever got to watch, but still...

[texaspackerbacker]

He should come out with a public statement that he regrets this whole mess, that he has no intention of submitting any papers or playing for anybody other than the Packers, but that if an urgent need came up for the Packers in mid-season, he'd be available.

That would silence this fiasco, it would save his legacy with Packer fans, and it just might get him back on the field at some point.

I agree that this is the best possible scenario.

Best for Brett...sadly,permanent retirement. He's painted himself in a corner.
