My point was that they clearly did not think Rodgers was a better option than Favre at the end of last season...because they wanted Favre to return in 2008 AS THE STARTER until he couldn't make up his mind.Originally posted by Chevelle2Hasn't crossed there minds? What about their dreams? Do you know if they have dreamt about it?
Favre's retirement was what made Rodgers the starter...not the fact that Rodgers has proven himself to be better than Favre.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

When the source close to Favre was asked what he thought the quarterback would do, the source said: “Brett said ‘if my dad were still alive, he’d tell me to get on that plane and report to practice’.”
I wish his dad was still alive cuz this mess woulda never happened...Comment

40-50% is too much.Originally posted by boiga
I could see continuing to develop the packages they've created for Rodgers and letting him play a couple series in some games. The threat of Rodgers playing makes things harder on the opposing defense, who will have to prepare for him even if he doesn't play.
The Packers have the depth at WR and smart enough offensive coaches to pull something like that off IMO...and work it to their advantage.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

All of this speculation is getting ridiculous. Why don't we just split the forum in three and the people who worship Rodgers can stay on one side and the people who worship Favre on the other and then the people who are Packer Fans and want the best players available playing for the Packers in middle, that is what it comes down to. Rodgers played "ok" against Dallas he didn't do anything spectacular accept not get hurt. Rodgers has NEVER torn it up in the pre-season, not by a long shot. Favre hasn't torn it up in pre-season as far back as I can remember. So I am thinking pre-season isn't really the way to judge this contest. Rodgers has never competed for his job in the NFL at any level. He was Thompson's guy out of the gate and I agree that Favre needs to compete in training camp.
Saying whoever is better is a lost cause and an argument that has zero merit. You simply cannot compare the two. Favre is coming off of one of the best seasons in an awesome career. Rodgers has yet to prove anything, not one thing. So the decision should be clear to anyone with a pulse. What this comes down to is bias. Those of you who think Rodgers is the second coming refuse to see anything negative there and those who are solidly in Favre's corner refuse to see anything positive. Personally, I don't think Rodgers is our guy, there are too many things he does that he should not be doing after three years in the NFL. Can he change? Sure, and I hope he does. Bottom line is what is best for the Packers and the team winning and the second Favre asks for reinstatement and is subsequently reinstated, that will be Favre starting. That should not be in dispute among respectable Packer fans. Does this mean Favre remains the starter the entire season? Does that mean McCarthy doesn't pull the plug at some point? No, it means that Brett Favre gives the Green Bay Packers the best opportunity at this time to win NFL football games. Sorry, but that is the reality like it or not."Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”

If Favre comes back, he will be the starter. Ther is no way any sane person sits the MVP of the team from the year before.
But later in the year they could work some packages in for poor fragile Aaron, let him show other teams what he's got.BaahComment

Here here! Maybe an otherworldly smack is what's changed brett's mind about reporting to camp and competing in the first place. He certainly needed one after that interview with Greta.Originally posted by The Leaper
Oh, Schefter from NFLN has a fairly quality discussion in a 10 minute video here: http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d8098235e
He goes through a lot of the same points that we are debating... and seems about as lost as any of us too.
Big points: -the only two teams that make sense right now for a trade are the Jets and Bucc's.
-No matter how good Rodgers is, he'll have little to no chance in a straight up competition with Favre.
-The Packers might be bringing Brett solely on the hope that another team's starting QB goes down in the preseason. That would make the trade climate significantly more friendly.Comment

If Favre shows up he is planning on playing for the Packers. No way he shows his faces then leaves. This is gonna get good.Comment

If by good you mean a circus for the whole organization, than, yes, it will be damn good.Originally posted by MadtownPacker"I've got one word for you- Dallas, Texas, Super Bowl"- Jermichael FinleyComment
