McCarthy, Thompson To Address Media Today; Watch LIVE

[Partial]

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

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

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

Perhaps, but its disrespectful to Brett, MM, and all the vets to find out. He has an equal or greater chance of NOT being an amazing qb.

[Pacopete4]

thats why a competition is the best way to work it out, but Harlan made a great point to that too... it has to be equal and BOTH sides have to agree to the implications of the decision

[Partial]

OK Skin, whatever you say. Favre had an amazing year last year. If the Packers don't get back to the NFCC in the next two or three years than TT will have dropped the ball and wasted a lot of talent. Time will tell.

MM even said the offense did not change with A-Rod. Don't be a fool. There isn't any difference at this point.

[Zool]

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.

See i guess i missed the stuff where Favre was at the OTA's and the mini camps.

[cheesner]

. . . 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.

Maybe they are just defending him because of ridiculous posts like this. Calling TT names like 'Sidewinder' is immature and callous.

Saying the Packers 'probably wouldn't be around' without Favre is just plain ridiculous.

[BallHawk]

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.

That was epic. Best post of the day, so far.

Ryan Grant was there sitting on the sidelines posting to his livejournal. What is the difference?

Again, Favre has shown he can perform at a ridiculously high level (read: higher than it is likely A-Rod will ever get to) without attending said events.

He's inshape, which is more than we can say for a good amount of the team.

Stop making excuses, the attempts are weak.

The fact of the matter is they do not want Favre and think they are better off with A-Rod. That is a bad decision in my opinion, and if the stock holders had any say in the matter it would not A) be the case, B) have gotten this far.

Oh really? 40 years of losing wouldn't have had the team go bankrupt or move shop? laughable.

This team was horrendous when Favre got here, and he turned it into a winner for 16 straight years. He made the Packers what they are today.

Super Bowl (Denver): 256 yards, 3 touchdowns, 2 TOs

Seattle172 yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 Ints
NY 236 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 Ints

19 touchdowns, 20 TOs

3 playoff wins in last decade.

Why not give another guy a shot, see what someone else can do?

I may be wrong, but since the Packers are a public owned team, wouldn't the shareholders have to vote in favor of moving the team in order to set up shop somewhere else?

I can only play with the hand that I'm dealt. Grant went to all the practices and meetings. Your Favre love has gone past your usual man lust. Its down right unhealthy. Brett said I should ask you if you gargle.

[sharpe1027]

They said they moved on because they spent all offseason implementing the new offense.

Actually, MM has said that this is not the case. They said they moved on because he was (and still is) retired. Most everything else was just people speculating including the new offense theory.

[SkinBasket]

OK Skin, whatever you say. Favre had an amazing year last year. If the Packers don't get back to the NFCC in the next two or three years than TT will have dropped the ball and wasted a lot of talent. Time will tell.

Listen, I get it Partial. You're upset that Favre is gone. You loved him. But you know what? You got to find better outlets for your jock tonguing rage. Trying to compare Brett's and Grant's situations is unfathomable to just about everyone here but you. Now either that makes you wrong and or misguided in your attempts to blame Thompson for all the evils in the world, or it makes you some kind of football genius. Or somewhere between, like an idiot savant of cross-comparing football player/management negotiations.

I won't say which conclusion I've drawn, but I'm just sayin'... Sometimes it's just a fart and not the flap of a butterfly's wings.

It's classy to discount all the other success' that he has had.

He played lights out in Seattle, and had a bad game like everyone else did in the cold against NY. Note that he kept his team in there and gave them a chance to win.

How many times would we have been in those games to begin with without Favre? The talent was abysmal other than Brett on most of those teams.

Genius.

It's all the Sidewinder. Otherwise why don't they let him come in and compete?
