What do you want to happen next?

[Bretsky]

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

You have got to be kidding. Favre hasn't looked good in preseason for years. Matt Hasselback outplayed him many times. It's sheer arrogance to think that Favre would automatically beat out Rodgers when Favre rarely is the best QB performance wise in preseason.

Do you honestly think they start AROD over Brett Favre after analyzing all of the factors as well as the preseason if he comes into camp very soon ??

It shocks me that 19 posters would say stay retired

Take your best QB and start him, or take a free draft pick via the trade

I suspect that is because most see little hope of him returning to the Packers, and most do not want to see him play for someone else, especially Minnesota.

I agree, it's Brett Fucking Favre for Pete's Sake.

Unless I am way off, the next step is Brett's in camp. TT may talk trade and what becomes of that remains to be seen. There arent going to be many good choices. Then he competes and well....

I'll say one thing. I am not so sure brett can win a straight up CAMP competition. In my mind, his experience would make him way better in game at this point IF he is committed to doing his homework.

That being said, great QB's are most often made by a good coach, a good system, and committment to being great. How many guys like jeff george who have all the tools flop? How many guys like montana who have average arms excel? How many Holmgren proteges started in the NFL? I think MM believes that rogers is ready and can be exceptional and only needs experience. With brett we probably win 2-3 more games this season, but if MM truly believes in rogers, I think he believes we are better off with him by week 14 or so, and definately going forward. If he didn't believe rogers had the right stuff he would be begging brett to come back....publicly and openly. He wants to win a superbowl and if he believed BF was his only chance to do so anytime soon he would not be hardballing him.

I didn't vote,

It's amazing how differently everyone is responding to Crisis Favre: Day 17.
007 is driving up to the rally in the Lambeau Parking lot where a crowd will express their love and appreciation for Brett Favre by demanding that Ted Thompson be fired. I have been spamming various internet forums (including bringbackfavre.com that 007 introduced me too) with annoying jabs at Lord Favre.

And now we see Swede has taken a third approach. In his own quiet, dignified way, he has announced his refusal to feed the insanity by voting in this poll. He modestly didn't mention it, but I think a hunger strike may also be involved.

If A-Rod outperforms Brett in preseason, and based on preseason track record that won't be impossible, Abso-fucking-loutely.

nah, I think it's because most are pussys.

Favre has no avenue to get to a key NFC rival, ain't gonna happen.

I agree with Bretsky, it is suprising that people would rather put the storied stallion back into the barn than let him race a couple more times. Damn, what's the fun of that? So he is wearing the jersey of another team? At least it will be interesting to watch. If he returns to G.B., it might turn ugly, but then again it could also go very well. Why not take a risk? It's not like buying a mortgage from Bretsky where you are liable to suffer some real personal harm.

It would be a damn interesting competition!!! I would be delighted for the winner regardless of if it was Favre or Rodgers. A great story either way.

When did packer fans become such pussies that their delicate feelings can't stand a QB competition?

ACtually, I thnk the bigger question should be is "When did Favre become such a pussy that his delicate feelings can't stand a QB competition?"

This is a new preseason, cpk1994

The Packers are simply better off with Rodgers at QB. Thompson knows that; McCarthy knows that; I know that; And some other posters know that.

The way for Favre to regain good will is simply to stay retired--and be available in case of injury to Rodgers. I think he knows that. The questions are whether he would rather push--probably unsuccessfully for a release or trade and whether he would sell out that goodwill in order to force the Packers to pay his salary for being inactive. He can't force a release or trade, he can't force them to keep him on active status, but he can force them to pay his salary, even if it's just for sitting. I think he'd prefer the love and admiration of Packer fans, but $12 million is $12 million--and it would be a good way to stick it to Thompson and McCarthy if indeed, he is motivated to do so.

Wow, you said that first sentence with a lot of conviction. Now, what causes you to really believe it? I mean, Favre can't play foreve, but he's only a year removed from a 13-3 regular season. Are you saying you think he would show serious enough decline this year that A-Rod would be head and shoulders ahead of him? Obviously the body of A-Rod's work is not enought to reach much of a conclusion one way or the other, but it's pretty bold to say that he is a better option than Favre at this point.

Yeah, that's a bold statement. But Tex isn't the one who made it. T2 and M3 are the ones making that statement. Some of us trust the decisions they make and believe that they've done an incredible job in a very short time here. If they say Rodgers is ready, then Rodgers is ready. He looked ready last season to me also, so I really don't have any worries.
