Driver loves Brett, but wants A-rod as QB

[gbpackfan]

I actually think the only real info out of this article came from this:

Q: Are you hoping he comes back?
A: Look, I love him to death. If he walks in here and starts playing tomorrow, that'd be great. If he doesn't, then we move on. We all have to move on someday. Someday I have to retire and I will come back in here and say, 'Hey, I want to play again.' But then after that, when I retire, I'm retired. That's my opinion. But most people will want to come back. I may want to come back. I may get the itch but I have to move on.

Sure seems like he's telling Favre to stay retired...itch or no itch.

ZOOL IS SO DEAD ON!

The highlighted portion should tell you EXACTLY what DD thinks of the Favre situation. Everyone, including the players, are ready to get this fiasco behind them. Favre retired. PERIOD. The Packers were FORCED by FAVRE to move on. Then he flip-flops all offseason and when he finally decides that he really does want to play, the Packers are suppose to drop everything. They used TWO draft picks on QBs and modified the offense for A-ROD. Favre should shut his mouth and stay on his 400 acre estate in Kiln.

I've read and re-read that post a couple times and I cannot seem to see where DD says he "wants" AR as QB

He get's asked who his preference is at quarterback. He answers Aaron Rodgers, even if Brett does come back.

What's so complicated?

"right now it's a-rod" is not saying he wants arod for qb. It's only saying that arod currently is our qb

So what? The 7th round pick is a practice squad prospect (packers kept 2 and 3 qbs at varying points of the year). MM said they did NOT alter the offense and Favre would be able to pick it up no problem.

This coming from the wannabe rapper or what have you. OK.

The important thing is he understood what he said

[Pacopete4]

does everyone else's audio cut out during the donald driver interview?

[Pacopete4]

"hey kid"

"and then we'd go back to playing football"


haha Driver on if he saw Brett walk back into the locker room


so funny

[boiga]

does everyone else's audio cut out during the donald driver interview?

yeah, it really sucked. They even cut off the important parts of the interview and switch over to another conversation with him.

Although, to those of you arguing that Driver isn't saying he "wants" Rodgers as quarterback, even though he states directly that's who "his preference" is, don't you think you're cutting the semantics a little too finely?

I didn't mean to use a misleading title, and I still don't really think I did.

[Pacopete4]

on if he talked to Brett lately and if he would tell them what they talked about...


well its like a house, would you come in here and tell something your wife talked to you about in secret

[Pacopete4]

Quote:
Q: In your mind you have a preference who you want as the quarterback...
A: Right.

this one right here tells me he wants Brett back IMO...

if he really wanted to move on, and really wanted Arod as his QB he flat out wouldn't keep it a secret, but it does make sense to keep his mouth shut til Favre's back on who he really wants cuz its Brett Favre.

Makes sense to keep his mouth shut because he's friends with Brett and doesn't want to burn any bridges if he comes back. It's all just reading between the lines, and it's slanted to which side of the argument you are on.

Q: What if Brett came back?
A: I still go with Aaron Rodgers because I don't know what Brett's going to do. No one knows if he's coming back. Once we figure that out then we'll be able to tell you what you want.

Q: Is there any question in your mind that Brett couldn't step right back into the flow?
A: I don't know. The biggest thing with that is I haven't seen him so I don't know what's going on. I just talk to him on the phone, that's about it.

Q: If he comes back, is it possible the locker room could be divided?
A: Why would we divide ourselves? That doesn't make any sense. It's a team thing. There's no man. I think that's the one thing you guys are getting confused about. You feel that one man runs everything. No, not at all. We know that we have to play football. If you have one guy on the football field, can you play? No. Who is he going to through the ball to? Is he just going to stand back there? No, it doesn't work that way. It's just like receiving. You have to have somebody throw it to you. No, no one man. We stick together. That's one thing we have done over the years: stick together.

if so, im sure it'd be partial waiting there in the parking lot with woody, fighting and bickering back and forth on whose bike he was gonna ride and then who had rights to be able to carry his helmet.

with the loser, of course, walking behind, admiring the shape of brett's ass and obstructing the view of our womenrats.
