Holy Crap! Favre'll show up for camp!

[Gunakor]

these message boards are gonna suck even more than they do now when we suck dick this season cuz of a- distractions, b- rodgers blows and brohm is not ready

Rodgers blows? Did I miss something last year? Maybe we were watching different players named Aaron Rodgers, but the one I was watching did pretty well...

[Pugger]

My hubby and I were watching the noon news here in GB. He turned to me and said "See? What did I tell ya? I had a feeling he'd come back to camp".

After all the reports and interviews, NOTHING would surprise me now...

What's wrong with Tampa? They're a playoff team. I can understand the Jets being a bad destination, but Tampa?

Sigh.

Here's JSO's take on Favre's mindset:

http://blogs.jsonline.com/packers/archive/2008/07/25/favre-knows-situation-hasn-t-change-in-gb.aspx

There are indications that Favre still wants to play for the Packers and will accept whatever role he's given when training camp opens. He's confident that he'll be able to outperform Rodgers and force them to play him.

So, then the question becomes what Brett would do if he DOESN'T get the starting job against the vikes... Would he retire in week 2, twelve million dollars richer?

Gruden would actually make him work.

Yea your out of your mind...

MM is going to break the 250 something streak because he feels Brett needs to be on the bench... I'll bet my bank account that if they do compete, Favre will blow Rodgers out of the water.

Why do you even bother coming here if all you are going to do is spew garbage. I hope Roddgers throws for over 3500 yeards so he can persaonally stick your foot down your goddamn throat.

Why not keep Favre who threw for 4,155?... makes sense to me

I personally hope Rodgers sucks and gets hurt then we can get rid of him and his daddy TT, start over w/Brohm and tell you to stfu.

KFFL:

Favre has no interest in Jets.

LOCAL NEWS IN GB:

Favre has no interest in Tampa

He wants in Green Bay or in Minnesota...

This is interesting...

If that's true, if Favre really shot down a trade to Tampa or NYJ, and if he's really insisting on coming back and sticking it to 'em, then if I were TT I'd stick it right back: put him through a few weeks of training camp and then stick him on the IR for the year. End of consecutive game streak.

Favre will be dealt withinthe next couple of days. My money is on the Jets.
It's time we were recompensed for the John Hadl boondoggle.

Yes because Godell would let that happen... Like the media would let that pass... You are out of your MIND...

This is a bluff IMHO.

I'm sorry, but how could a 16 year vet w/ 2 Superbowl appearances, how many MVP's.... come into Training Camp after being a play away from the SuperBowl last year as a back-up?

This soap opera is becoming more than annoying. At least in Spanish Language soap operas, there exists hot chicks with nice racks. I don't know what the hell to call this though.

[Freak Out]

Come on people...don't hold back anything here...this is an open forum.

Ha ha......nice one Shadow,

Then what the hell do they even play the preseason for if not to evaluate the players and form a depth chart?

Preseason IS useful...don't get me wrong. However, it is not truly a great barometer for how well a QB is going to do. Offenses and defenses are just too vanilla in the preseason to make an accurate judgment on how well a QB will handle "live" bullets, so to speak.

I mean, how would YOU accurately judge a competition between the two of them? Or would you just simply state that there is no competition and just give the job to Favre?

Personally, I would give the job to Favre. He's the better QB right now. He has more experience in his pinky than Rodgers has in his entire body.

A competition really is stupid, and I've said as much. FAVRE IS BETTER. There is no logical way to argue that Rodgers is comparable to Favre RIGHT NOW. Sure, I see the logic behind the long term plan...and agree that there are logical reasons for playing Rodgers in 2008 and "moving on".

However, the notion that Rodgers will play as well as Favre would in 2008 is not one of those logical reasons IMO.

My take has always been that if you had both, you utilize both. Favre should be the starter...Rodgers should see time in a unique role and in mop up duty. Both have value...both can play...using both would help the Packers in 2008.
