Partial, you fail to see past the fact that Favre retired.

So what? Again, he missed the offseason. So did RG. I don't see a difference.

The difference is that when a player retires, the team takes steps to replace him. And with a QB, this is particularly critical.

So what? The Packers moved on with Brandon Jackson when Ryan Grant's contracts demands couldn't be met. What is the difference?

So a RB's job is equal to a QB? You forget your Ritalin this week?

[mission]

The whole "we moved on when he retired" is horrendously weak. That logic should dictate that Ryan Grant cannot play for the Packers anymore. TT is a snake in the grass.

Will you please stop trying to equate the two situations? You just sound silly and spiteful. Maybe you and Paco and woody could start a club. It would probably be therapeutic. A little queer, but therapeutic nonetheless.

How exactly is it any different?!?

TT said he doesn't care that Favre bad mouthed him.

He is implying that Favre cannot come back because he missed the off-season. Ryan Grant also missed the off-season. Where exactly is the difference? Clearly its not age since he said he could come back at the end of March.

The sidewinder's ego is the size of texas. He wants a roster chock full of his guys. He wants to be in the spotlight, not have Favre get credit for being a great quarterback.

Do you have the intelligence of a 4 year old?

How is it different? Grant is making a business decision and spent all off season in green bay with his teammates and was at OTA's. he didnt retire, he's just trying to secure his future.

brett retired, got excited, wanted to come back... we said no because we think rodgers is a better option (whther you agree or not)

how are those situations even close to the same? seriously... this place is too much sometimes.

Actually he didn't practice during OTAs. Favre has worked out all offseason as well. Both are in game shape.

They said no because they moved on, not because Rodgers is better. There IS a difference. They said they moved on because they spent all offseason implementing the new offense.

They are pretty darn similiar situations. Why does everyone take the Sidewinder's side when he is disrespecting the greatest packer ever. Without Favre, the Packers probably wouldn't be around, and the Sidewinder wouldn't have a job.

I said he was there for OTAs... where was Brett? I dont see him in the pictures.

You're retarded and your rhetorical bullshit just doesnt even apply. Ive seen you take so many of these threads so many extra pages and I almost feel that you do it just to make the board a little bit more fun ... then i realized, at some point pride must prevent that.

Ballhawk -- you're right... it's useless.

Mission, I'm not sure why you're attacking me? What the hell have I ever done to you...

The Packers do not want Brett Favre. They prefer Aaron Rodgers. Due to Favre's nature, it is not possible to keep both on the roster.

Same can't be said about the RB situation.

What difference does that make? Both would obviously have new responsibilities in the offense and implying that a 2nd year player can learn a new offense, albeit at a less difficult position, then the greatest quarterback to ever play is foolish.

Favre was at home for OTAs. He probably wasn't allowed in the complex. Again, what difference does that make? Grant was sitting on the sidelines posting to his lifejournal from his Blackberry. Not working out with the team implementing the new offense.

[BallHawk]

I think we should have a forum test on who's pissed at who and who sides with whom. That'd be fun.

Harlan, you're good at bitching at Mad to do things. Wanna volunteer?

[Pacopete4]

Partial,


It's not that he cannot play, or learn the system... It's the fact that they DO NOT want him back starting for the Packers... simple as that

Well so far he's missed 1 day of practice, 1 meeting and 1 physical. He went to the OTAs and all the off season meetings, plus he's a RB which is, by most football players accounts, one of the easiest spots to learn on a team. Maybe you could make arguments based on less? Like you saw your cat in the batting cages during Brewer BP today?

No he was retired.

Which is the exact point. TT is making a bad decision.

Brett has missed the exact same.

He chose to go workout from home for the optional team activities, much like Chuck, Al, Chad, Bubba etc have for years.

Again, WHERE is the difference? I don't see it. Seems that Brett had a pretty good year in 2003 despite missing all of those things as well.

While I am on the Favre side... you cannot tell me that you know that for sure... I believe strongly Favre should be our QB, but like many posters have already said, Rodgers could be an amazing QB.. who knows

How exactly is it any different?!?

Brett is white. Ryan is black. There. That's one. I'll let you figure out the other couple hundred more football relevant ways in which the situations are different.

He is implying that Favre cannot come back because he missed the off-season. Ryan Grant also missed the off-season. Where exactly is the difference? Clearly its not age since he said he could come back at the end of March.

If you haven't noticed, Brett Favre played the position known as "Quarterback." You see, the "Quarterback" is responsible for running the offense. He takes the snap from the "Center" and either hands the ball to a "Running Back" or passes to a "Receiver." In fact, in most cases, offenses are designed to varying degrees around this "Quarterback" position.

Here, this might help you:

Quarterback (QB) is a position in American and Canadian football. Quarterbacks are members of the offensive team and line up directly behind the center, in the middle of the offensive line. Quarterbacks are the leaders of the offensive team, responsible for calling the play in the huddle. They initiate almost all plays by receiving the ball from the center, although occasionally teams will use a "direct snap" to another offensive player. Once the quarterback receives the snap, he can run with the ball, hand the ball to another player or attempt a forward pass.

At most levels, but especially at the college and professional level, the quarterback role is one of the most visible and important roles on the team. The quarterback touches the ball on nearly every offensive play and has a great deal of responsibility both in calling plays and making decisions during the play. While there is liberal substitution at most positions in football based on the play call and to minimize player fatigue, most quarterbacks are on the field for every offensive play leaving only for injury or when the game's outcome is no longer in doubt. Quarterbacks are frequently chosen early in the NFL Draft and often receive much more lucrative contracts than other positions. As of 2008, players in this position have won more Super Bowl MVP awards (22 of 42) than players at any other position combined.

Anyway, the team has started to change the offense to suit the talents and limitations of the new "Quarterback" named Aaron Rodgers. On the other hand, there have been limited, if any, changes to the offense to suit the "Running Back," in this case a fella by the name of Ryan Grant. The team also drafted the newest class of college players in what is called the Amateur Draft under the presumption that this Aaron Rodgers player would be the "Quarterback" instead of Brett Favre.

The sidewinder's ego is the size of texas. He wants a roster chock full of his guys. He wants to be in the spotlight, not have Favre get credit for being a great quarterback.

No shit he wants a roster "full of his guys." HE IS THE FUCKING GENERAL MANAGER. It's his JOB to create a roster "full of his guys." Your assertions that he ran Favre out of town to claim the glory of Green Bay football for himself sound like the ramblings of a retarded juvenile upset he got the purple flavored juicebox for lunch instead of the orange.
