Holy Crap! Favre'll show up for camp!

[Jimx29]

I wish his dad was still alive cuz this mess woulda never happened...

Exactly...his dad would've smacked him upside the head a long time ago.

probably woulda had a few words to TT too... neither handled this situation well

I believe that I agree with that sentiment

Fuck you Shadow , I'm tired of you and other posters dumping on the man for fucking changing his mind. Its not an unspeekable act. It's fucking a human trait that many pro athletes have done before. Not that you can remember, but you have changed your mind many a times in your lifetime.

I really don't want him back. I hope this is not true.

Favre coming to Packer Camp

JH and TT's nightmare

[outflow]

I would assume that Favre gets a bulk of the playing time during the preseason then.

Its fine that he changed his mind. But the Packers can change their mind too. They already moved on with the post-Favre era by July.

Why has there even been a big drama? When the team informed Favre that the team had moved on, Favre should have just been a man and gone about his business. Explore his options with other teams through Thompson. Or accept that his starter role was not guaranteed, and negotiate with McCarthy about starting camp as a backup.

It's called life - things don't always go our way. Divas may not have learned that lesson.

[Bretsky]

Unless of course Favre plays like complete crap. But I don't see you would go with Rodgers over Favre even if they performed about the same in preseason.

I would say that if they perform "about the same" in preseason and camp, you would have to go with Rodgers over Favre. At this point in their respective careers, Rodgers is getting better and Favre is getting un-better. If they're about equal, go with the guy who could be your starter for another decade.

If they are about even then you ignore past accomplishments in favor of the unknown

THIS is whty TT will trade Brett Favre......he does not have to make the call then

[Bretsky]

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

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.

I hope Favre throws for another 4000 for Green Bay. If they get rid of him then I hope Rodgers throws for 4000 for Green Bay

Then leave. No one is forcing you to read those kind of posts. Hell you can even go back to sniffing Favre;'s jock. You have that right, just as we have the right to call Favre on his BS.

I don't think the idea of Favre accepting the backup role is as crazy and remote as most seem to think. Favre may be wanting to step back from the acrimony that's been created, and may want to mend fences with the organization and his fans. If Favre were to accept the backup role, he would be as popular, or perhaps more popular than ever. He would be delivering a kick to the groin of everyone who says he is no longer a team guy.

In addition, there would be a very good chance he would be the starter at some point in the season. Last year, only ten QB's started all 16 games. Given that Rodgers hasn't exactly looked like an ironman, it is highly likely he'll get to make a key contribution on a team that has a good chance to go to the Super Bowl.

I see two scenarios here. Either Favre is traded very soon OR he is given the starting job back. I'm sorry, but I cannot see a QB battle through TC. It would be more distracting than productive. Fans standing 5-6 rows deep at the fence who are yelling out, causing distractions, etc. Also, I cannot see how it wouldn't be a distraction in the locker room, either. I think players already feel like they are walking on eggshells as it is.

It bothers me most that four months ago, the Packers wanted him back as their starter. Now, they don't want him back. The fact that Rodgers has never had to compete for his position is what I disagree with. Just like in his 2nd year, he was already labeled as back-up. Now, he slides into the starting role. But four months ago, TT wanted Favre as the starter.

I don't like the way Favre has gone about things this whole off-season but TT has one responsibility here...you put your best players on the field. The best players NOW, not the ones that MIGHT be somewhere down the road.

Let Brett have the starting job back or trade him. I don't see it any other way.

[Harlan Huckleby]

he is given the starting job back.

When they decided a month ago that they didn't want Favre back as the starter, they must have had their reasons. What has changed since then that would cause McCarthy change his mind?

What bothers you about this?

I too think this could and should happen. But probably wishful thinking, too good to be true.

[RashanGary]

The Packers made a calculated decison to go through the media shit storm of moving on from Brett Favre. If they were not 100% on board with that decision they would have cut it off before it got ugly.

I think the options are trade, trade or trade with release coming only on day one of the season if it gets that far. The Packers are sure about moving forward. I think all actions point to that.
