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

[woodbuck27]

I want Favre in a Viking Uniform and doing his best and whatever that means to 'the Packers' and to TT.

If he does, woodbuck, I'm sure Rastak could recommend a few good vikings boards for you.

After all, considering how strongly your feelings are against the Packers, you might as well follow Favre and start wearing purple. What's the point of sticking around being constantly furious at an institution you no longer support?

Listen get this whipper...

I will die a Green Bay Packer fan. I've got 50 years committed to the Green Bay Packers ...that means I've every right to absolutely HATE what this franchise has done in handling and orchestrating the mess that we all feel here and in Packer land. TT is a smooth operator, and sadly that's apparant and will be... not a feather in his cap as time follows.

I don't enjoy observing TT as our GM. I don't like how he's held us to where it will soon be obvious.I believe I will be right man. After last season anything less than a Super Bowl appearance in 2008 = FAILURE for Ted Thompson and OUR team.

That analysis is easy for me. That doesn't translate to woodbuck27 deserting the Green Bay Packers as fan. I'm very concerned.

Favre in 'a Vikings uniform' is a possible reality and unlikely.I want Favre to do well wherever but get free from all I've seen on the team I love.

I believe TT will fall on his face. I believe...karma is a bitch. The prediction in no way dictates where my heart is. So this is a fact...TRUTH. I will remain loyal to the Green Bay Packers, of course as I have for 50 years despite our imminant skid.

Ohhh by the way. ing.

Your insinuation of me and becoming a vikings fan is a demonstration of either your ignorance, or juvenile no skills to run harassment on me or a good joke? I find YOU hilarious. Good JOKE Man. It's a deja vous experience. I laugh at a lot of people here.

Well free + $100mil

He made the club 10 times that and probably will go down as one of the most profitable investments in sports history, not to mention what he has made the league in revenue, he is football's Jordan thats why the commish is pushing for this to be resolved $$$$$$$$$$$$.

He's not hurting.

Absolutely right, I am just saying the Packers made out like bandits on the deal, it is a business and we are seeing that more lately than ever, if it pans out great, if not TT's head should placed on a stick and hung above the entrance to Lambeau for all to see.

IF YOU ARE THE GM

What if the Vikings offered us a first round draft pick for Brett Favre.

Let's assume that we can only garner a 4th round pick elsewhere.

Do you make the deal ?

Hell no.
A first round pick is not a guarantee of anything. see Ahmad Carroll, Tony Manderich, etc.

I consider TT a good GM but if he can't coexist with a legendary QB diva he's an idiot.

Good to know, and my apologies if you think I mischaracterized your intentions.

Nevertheless, I don't understand the reason for a fan for any team to root for the other side just to prove that they are smarter than those running the organization. The Packers were here before Brett, and will last after he has gone, so why support his interests over those of the team?

The fact is that those interests are not reconcilable at this time. Brett was looking out for his own interests when he decided to unretire, asked to be released and stated that he would not be willing to take a supporting role or compete for the starting job with the Packers. The Packers were looking after their own interests when they decided that under those circumstances, they could not bring Favre back.

So, why as a Packers fan are you putting the interests of one player, no matter how great, over the interests of the team?

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.

I never said he wasnt good at it you ballscratcher. I backed TT since day 1 on JSO when I bet half the now NOW TT supporters where likely bashing him. Same with M3 (I busted out that name first on JSO to the best of my knowledge). The shit I bolded comes off to me as hurried attempts to seal the deal.

[Packerarcher]

I don't ever want to see Favre play for anyone else. BUT if TT is going to fuck up and not let the best player be the starting QB. I would like to see Brett play somewhere that he has a good chance to win. If that is the hated Vikings so be it,it would be the only time in my life when I would not mind if the Vikes beat the Pack. It would actually be quite ironic if Brett was playing for the Vikings and thats the game that Rodgers went down in. Becuase make no mistake about it Rodgers will get injured this year.

I'm not buying it. Maybe he was pissed about the retire/unretire/retire/unretire but seems to me that he's way to level headed to run his company like that. He's not specifically trying to get fired.

[MadtownPacker]

Mad, one of the charges against Thompson is that he's not slick - people get pissed that he doesn't seem to give (Packer) rat's ass what fans think, that he's so robotic, and so on and so forth. I've yet to hear anyone call TT a slick PR dude.

Dont be a fool. That stone faced dude you see on press conferences aint TT. Thompson is no joke and plays his shit tight to the vest. I meant slick when it comes to running things (what matters most), not pleasing redneck fans like Zool. TT has made every move like a chess game and he is about to say checkmate and close it out.

Wow...you've actually out-dumbed Devin Hester....grats

[MadtownPacker]

Agreed

Why does "avoiding the NFC North comes off as coddling and protective?" It is called doing what is smart. Vikings have a horrible QB, Favre would instantly upgrade their QB situation and make them one of the favorites in the NFC. Why would you want to do this?

I don't care how much you hate TT or bad you feel we need Favre, why would you want to help your biggest rival? It makes no sense.

What I mean is if he is 100% confident in the team he has now then why be scared to face him in purple?.

Yoda said it best when he told the Emperor - "If so powerful you are why leave".

TT could send Favre to fucking Alaska but even then if he throwing TDs to penguins the moment ARod throws a pick in GB it will be compared. There is no escaping it unless Favre stays retired. With the in mind I say take the best yo can get.

[The Leaper]

Exactly. If this is "the best move for the Packers", then Thompson really shouldn't care where Favre goes.

Wow you actually out dumbed Tank. Maybe you should retire your lame comeback.

[Packerarcher]

If Exucutive fuck up of the year TT is so confident of his team with out a Brett Favre at the helm. Why doesn't he trade Favre to the Vikings or any othe division rival. Say what you want about this not being personall for TT,but things like this just show that it is. Also his statement at the shareholders meeting about being committed to winning NOW,what a FUCKING LIE. The man can not open his mouth with out bullshit spewing out.
