That made me smile.......what a completely different spot the Packers would be in compared to the Bears.

Packers - which good QB do we play

Bears - which, umm, you know the guy that throws the ball, do we play

I can't really argue with that. I like our QB position a lot more too.

My point is that even if there were a QB competition, the job would be Rodgers to lose, and I don't think Favre or most of his fans could accept that.

TT will not pay Favre 12 mil to back up Rodgers.

I think that's where you're wrong. TT could more easily spend 12 million on an over qualified back up than Brett could withstand sitting on the bench watching Aaron have a good time. We have the money, but Brett does not have the patience.

If Brett had to choose between riding the bench and sitting in Mississippi, he'd choose Mississippi. Do you remember how miserable he was during that Dallas game?

Favre has to be frustrated with Ted Thompson. He knows that he and TT arn't on the same page. Their personality's are so different. Favre impulsive and impatient and TT in knots and has his hands tied. Ted just wants Favre gone.

Favre as a back-up. too funnny. NO!

I also believe that he wants to continue his streak, the achievement he takes the most pride in. So realistically it's a trade. No release. So Favre has to wait as he agreed to tomorrow and reinstate and get into it.

He has to stop healing to Ted Thompson.

I have to agree, actually. He's coming off a stellar season, well, stellar regular season. If I were in his shoes, I would go ahead and take the backup job, hope to move but. But I understand his view.

I don't think either of them have the upper hand. They are both in a shitty spot.

TT would not pay Favre 1 mil or 1 dollar to back up Rodgers.....he simply does not want him around anymore to mess with his "plan".

If TT is so confident in Rodgers then release Favre and let this whole thing go...let Favre play!! And if that means with the Vikings so be it.

come on that is just plain retarded.

No its not, and if DD and kampman ask to be released to join minnesota we should man up and let them too.

you really think making personnel decisions in the nfl should have anything to do with "man-ing up"??? i think its hypocritical to say that TT should "man up" by letting favre go wherever he wants (minnesota) and also say they should put the best person on the field regardless of the situation. to me that is inconsistent logic.

not that i'm opposed to the "put the best guy on the field" argument (i would love for #4 to be our starter this year) but what is the difference between putting the best guy on the field and not letting the best guy on the field go play for the enemy? its a cut-throat business man. dont hand your weapons to the bad guy. simple as that.

The thing is, Rodgers never out-performed Favre in order to take it from him. It's probably the only thing that is bothering TT's conscious, if he has one.

Well, there you go. Maybe in the Coaches minds Rodgers DID outperform Favre! They might be very unhappy with the look in Favre's eyes in the Giants game. He looked like he didn't want to be out there at times.

[GrnBay007]

I would think it's also bad strategy NOT to allow a QB competition in order to put the best QB on the field for the 2008 season. I guess that sounds "retarded" too.

The problem is that Favre fans think a "competition" means that Favre is the starter.
What would be your reaction if Rodgers won the competition, particularly if there was some good evidence that Favre outplayed him?

It wouldn't happen HH. If there was a chance, TT/MM would allow it.

[GrnBay007]

Well, there you go. Maybe in the Coaches minds Rodgers DID outperform Favre! They might be very unhappy with the look in Favre's eyes in the Giants game. He looked like he didn't want to be out there at times.

So now you are saying TT and MM liked the look in Rodgers eyes more than Favre?

You are watching too much porn blue dog.

He had that beaten Y.A. Tittle look from the 63 Giants championship loss.

Actually, since a coaches decision is subjective, sure, sexual attraction might very well play a role, especially if TT has input.

The coaches get to be the king makers.

Yeah, he had that beaten look on 12/22/03 too, and we all saw what he did to the Raiders that night.

I'm pretty sure he was being facetious.

I was thinking of Horatio Hornblower in the 1947 Championship game, Horatio looked like he was at his own funeral. A sad, cold day, I'll never forget it.
