WHAT IF DA VIKES OFFER A FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK FOR FAVRE ?

[Zool]

I'm really torn on this one Partial. Really torn. Quite honestly, I'm tired of the Diva act. Considering ONLY that, I'm happy to move on. However, trading him to Minnesota is the WORST possible thing we could do with him.

I agree with all the opinions that Favre is better in 08 than Rodgers will likely be, but, the Diva shit has to end. Even if it affects 2008.

The thought of Favre playing anywhere else except Green Bay sickens me, but, looking forward to "will he, won't he" for the 8th year in a row does too, maybe even more than playing elsewhere.

But, the question was trade to Minnesota. NO. Tampa, hmm. Maybe. Coming back to Green Bay on a "one year" deal. NO. Two years? Maybe.

Rodgers? Good Lord, I've got no idea.

Pretty much word for word my feelings on the situation. If Brett would have kept his mouth shut, came back for the Packer HOF ceremony and let it be known that he wanted to come back either to the Packers or another team, I would have no problem with any of it. Airing the laundry, so to speak, is what has soured me on him.

I don't care if Thompson raped Favres dog, I don't want to hear about it from his mom, his gardener or even Favre himself. Keep your shit in house. This media BS is whats getting to me and, I think, most other people.

Edit: Oh and I wouldn't trade him to MN or any other team thats on the schedule this year. I don't care the compensation. Contrary to some who find themselves humorous even though no one else does, Thompson is not an idiot and understands football and Favre's legacy. He's not doing this because he doesn't like Brett.

Unscared

If the ViQueens provide the best deal please take it TT.

Why should we be scared of BF? BF will compile good stats but will throw an intecepation which causes the ViQueens to lose.

Also any draft picks acquired from the ViQueens weakens their future roster.

[BallHawk]

Depends on how far away the 2nd best offer is, if any.

If TT has full confidence in this team than giving Favre to the Vikes shouldn't be that much of a deal.

[pbmax]

Would you still take the first rounder from the Vikes even though you know T2 will turn it into two 2nds, and a 3rd?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I can't imagine MN offering a #1. I'm not sure they are that close to being a SB team. Maybe if they had some receivers for Favre to throw to the deal makes some sense.

How the hell do you know how TT feels???

I say the writing is on the wall and has been for some time. Favre is handling this shitty but I believe he is genuinely pissed off and I get the feeling it's not all in his head. Thompson doesnt give a fuck about his legacy or he would have begrudgingly taken him back. The smear campaign has been working both ways. Favre just sucks at it. Thompson is very slick and is not going to lose a PR mess to some rambling country hick.

Like I said, if TT thinks the Packers are better with Rodgers he should trade Favre wherever the offer is best. His avoiding the NFC North comes off as coddling and protective of his own legacy if you ask me.

[The Shadow]

I think you've got to end this mess quickly by dealing Favre off, but not to an NFC rival. Then, the situation never goes away; it will be the talking head's topic for every year Favre hangs around.
Take the best AFC deal.

[GBRulz]

No, Hell No and Eff No.

With Favre, chances are their first round pick would be a very late one. Not worth it, IMO.

Besides, I'm not sure what is more nauseating, Andy Reid in a speedo or Favre as a Queen.

As long as he throws Harris's way, he'll be fine

Agreed - however - I unfortunately thought of something possibly more nauseating :








John Madden in a speedo.

[woodbuck27]

I knew that'd get you to pipe up... :P

So Zig, what's your answer on the poll?

Like TT, she has no comment; let her create a timeline for a response

Actually, she will probably vote no

Whatever way and manner TT thinks pretty well describes MJ's personality and style. I'm thinking Eskimos and Igloo's or REALLY COLD Man Vs smart and with common sense, acting like a human with blood in veins.

and....TT 'of course' wouldn't really screw Favre would he? So he'd take that 1st for a joke. Same as you would MJ because that's good long term for the team.

mmmmm

Favre would be in Green Bay on Sept. 08 to see his number retired or maybe that plan will change. Anyway he pilots the Vikings to try to stay close to ARod and the Packers.

Right MJ? Everything is beautiful.

[pack4to84]

I would make the trade for Min 1st rd pick. If the vikings get Brett it would take away carries from AP. Brett likes to be the show, so he might hog the spot light. With AP track record of not putting the ball on the ground and Brett turnover happiness. Might not be a bad thing for Packer fans. Brett wouldn't have as good WR's in Min. He would have a 1 trick pony in Berrian, gator arms R.Ferguson, but he could make S.Rice a star though.

[cpk1994]

I've already stated my thoughts several times. I'm cool if Favre wants to retire. I'm cool if Favre wants to come back to the Packers. I'm cool if Favre gets traded. The only thing I wouldn't be cool with is him getting trade to Minnesota or Chicago. Period. Doesn't matter the compensation.

I can handle this...but for those trashing him and saying we don't want him anymore.. I'd think they'd favor a first.

And you would be wrong again.

Because he's essentially upper management and he's actually good at it. No one runs a business like that successfully. I think he's doing what he thinks is good for his company. He took his entire fucking locker and sent it to Favre. He made sure that his jersey retirement was going to be in front of a national audience against a big time rival. The guy is all business and that definitely rubs some people the wrong way.

Had Favre not jerked them around in March with the "I'm coming back.....just kidding" we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Brett would be the starting QB of the Packers and its about time that the guy gets some fire for his selfish off-season BS. If you're unsure about retirement you dont retire with the idea that you could come back whenever you want. You say you're coming back and then later on say you're retiring.
