"LET ME COMPETE. U KNOW I'LL WIN THIS JOB...!"

[boiga]

Boiga, last year the Vikes tried to stash a drafted QB on the practice squad. He was taken by KC. You think that won't happen again? And you have to waive him to put on the practice squad.

True, and you're right that it is a risk, but not a gigantic one. Flynn needs a fair amount of nurturing before he'll be of any use to us anyways.

[GBRulz]

You said it alienated the fans. You are a fan. Therefore, you were alienated.

Say what you mean, mean what you say.

Yeah, well I recall you telling me that Favre was their favorite player and was asking if I ever got to meet him, etc. Now you dog on him left and right. Soooo, can you remind me again what you mean by "say what you mean, mean what you say?"

[MOBB DEEP]

seriously fellow fans, dont we ALL wanna see #4 lead this talented team to the big dance? i mean, all those years with the whack job sherman and he finally has a team that can challenge for the trip to tampa. he's EARNED that in spite of his "bad' games

btw,
how many QBs have bad games?

imho, he DESRVES to be able to compete for startn spot...

i mean, merely ONE MORE YEAR WITH ARGUABLY THE BEST QB ever, then arod can be handed the torch

my god it's a NO BRAINER

[GBRulz]

I still don't get your beef, GBR. You're the one that has said good things about Rodgers when you met him in person. Did you really take offense at his little comment that fans should get on board or shut up?

I wasn't pissed by what Rodgers said. Where are you getting that from? He pissed off a lot of fans with his remarks but it didn't bother me any.

I'm guessing the pro-Favre fans? That's my point. If Brett had said the same thing, those fans wouldn't have thought anything of it.

I can like Favre, and disagree with something he does, no?

[mraynrand]

i wonder what kind of shape he's in. In the past he's said part of the reason he'd been considering retirement is because it takes a whole offseason of dedication to be in the kind of shape he needs to be in to do what he does during the season.

20 minutes, three times per week on the Bowflex ought to be enough.

Not true. They would have said: "Favre's right, damn straight!"

Yup.

Ive been quoted as saying I would boo jesus before favre .... and well, i just hate how this shit is going.

Ok MOBB, back on the track!
I think the majority of fans (Packer fans and NFL fans) want to see Favre at least get a chance to lead this team..

But the question remains, how many playoff games has Favre won over the last few years? The Seahawks in the snow at Lambeau? But I offer Holmgren is as much at fault for playoff game losses due to his stubborness as anyone player. (the 1997 Packers should've kicked the crap out of the smaller Broncos with the power run game and play action pass, not give in to all pass in 2nd half) They get a real hungry team at home, the Giants as underdogs... Favre looks like he'd rather be anywhere but @that game

At least give arguably one of the best QB's of alltime the chance to lead the Pack.. let the chips fall where they may..

Then when we lose another home playoff game, and Favre retires.



Then un-retires next offseason.


We do the same damn thing again.

"let me compete. You know I'll win this job"

And yet some will criticize Rodgers for his "get on board" quote.

I think it was the shut up reference they didn't like

[Bretsky]

Its not Rodgers fault you have thin skin.

Did I say anything about personally being offended by Rodgers comment? No. I simply said that the two comments cannot be compared.

completely agree; it was the snapping at the fans that "can" be criticized

Either comment didn't bug me much; but I don't blame anybody who took offense to AROD's comments

Telling fans to shut up and saying I can beat the kid I have beaten everytime I have gone against him are two very different things.

[MOBB DEEP]

you can compare apples to oranges if you want... Rodgers has nothing to say until he goes out and actually does something...


favre cocked off to the media before the super bowl season about sayin just bet against him... only difference is he was already league MVP... see the difference?

thats rich....
