I forgot how impressive Rodgers really was in that Dallas game and I think he looked great watching that highlight film. Obviously it isn't going to show the bad plays but I would really like to rewatch that game now and see just how well he did.

I agree. You have to like all the skill players on the offense. It's a tremendously deep group, at WR, RB, and even TE. Possible weak links at guard and danger with aging tackles, but WOW, Rodgers may only need to be reasonably good to manage what should be an explosive offense.

I like how Collinsworth opens by saying "the Packers arent going to win much with Rodgers at QB" then at the end "looks like the Packers have a legitimate shot at winning in the playoffs with Rodgers". Is NFLN getting a new team this year?

Also, Greg Jennings is a stud. That move he puts on after his first catch is sick.

But that's the whole reason why I just don't understand why the Packers want to push Favre out the door.

I KNOW Favre would be at least reasonably good. He was great last season, and there is no reason to believe he is going to suddenly fall off. His arm strength would still be there IMO...his knowledge would still be there...those are the two aspects he needs with this amount of talent around him.

We HOPE Rodgers will, we THINK Rodgers will...we don't KNOW it. If Rodgers doesn't shine, Thompson is wasting a great opportunity to make a title run with all of the needed offensive pieces in place...and having two capable QBs there in case of injury. Sure, Rodgers may be better for it 2-3 years from now...but who know where the team will be then? Clifton, Tauscher, Driver, Harris, Pickett, Kampman and Woodson all could have diminished skills by then...and you've missed your window to aim for a title.

That is really what is puzzling to me. I understand moving on with Rodgers...it has to happen at some point. Why you would do it when your team has shown consistent improvement the previous two years and were on the doorstep of the Super Bowl is what puzzles me.

It puzzles me more why Favre would consider retiring with the offense in place. The team moved on because 1) they thought he really retired and 2) he jerked them around waffling over coming back.

I agree with that as well...although until you've gone through 250 consecutive NFL starts, I'm not sure you can adequately assess how easy a decision that is.

This always makes me feel better:

How much more incentive does Brett need? Not like Garcia is a threat, he doesnt swing that way.

If you're arguing that Favre would have a lot of ambivalence about retiring, because he had played so long (and was playing so well), I couldn't agree more. All the more reason, I should think, to err on the side of coming back.
