Who Blinks first - Favre or the Packers?

[BallHawk]

Has anybody seen Bus Cook in his interview today?

Looks like a dude that would empty some bullets into a lawnmower.

[MJZiggy]

Favre already blinked. He went from "why should I [compete with A-Rod]" and indicating that he wouldn't come into camp listed as 2nd string to "I'll be in camp."

[Packerarcher]

Packers blink first and get rid of Brett the Clown for whatever they can get.

Packers laugh first when Favre stinks up the joint on his new team.

Laughing at Favre's misfortune shows your true colors.

If Green Bay trades Favre, I really don't care what he does. I'll be far more focused on Rodgers.

That I like the team over any player?

Of course you can like the team over the player, but why is it necessary to call him a clown and hope that he sucks with his new team?

Is there a rule that says I have to cheer for him?

No you don't have to cheer for him NOW,but I bet you were last year and any other time he played to your liking.Your bashing is sure sign of a FAIRWEATHER FAN.

Re: Who Blinks first - Favre or the Packers?

I think that the Packers blink first by taking a sub-standard trade or a release.

What say You?

I don't see a trade (any trade) as blinking. They get something for nothing. I, for one, never thought they'd get a ton for him. He's 39 and didn't seem exactly committed this offseason.

So, what would define Brett as blinking? Accepting a trade?

Any trade (not to Minnesota) would mean both sides blinked. Minnesota is where Favre wants to be (if he can't start in Green Bay).

I didn't read every post here, but I think BF comes to camp, MM uses him as the backup QB and tolerates the circus that goes with it. Depending on how everything goes from now til the season opener any number of things could happen...but for now, he reports, we put him in the backup role...not sure either side "blinks" in that scenario.

Sorry, but this is a stupid poll now that I see how you defined it.

A "sub-standard trade" is not the Packers blinking, that's Favre backing down. Right now he is blocking any trade. I don't think the Packers care too much about the compensation they get.

Right.

There is ONE and ONLY ONE outcome where Brett Favre will not be blinking: if he shows up to camp and aggressively fights his status as #2. McCarthy then has a problem.

I guess I forgot the possibility of the team releasing Favre, but in my mind that is too ridiculous to discuss.

What I meant whas Chevelle always seems to be bashing Brett not just in this thread. At least through out this whole unretirement clusterfuck,but it's easy for most to bash him right now because they don't think he will ever play for the Pack again. Therefore you cheer for the man when he is brings the Packers out of the shitter for how many years,but now when the man could use tour support most of you are like the Packers and shit on him. AKA FAIRWEATHER FANS. If it were not for Brett Favre there would be no remodeled Lambeu Field,no extensions for MM or Ted the snake. Fool yourselves and say no one player is bigger than the team. Then go back and imagine what life may have been like had Ron Wolf not traded for a QB from the Atlanta Falcons that few had ever heard of,and fewer yet could pronounce his name correctly. The Packers would more than likely be like a lot of other teams and be on QB number god only knows what in those 16 years.

Come now, we all know that Ted doesn't blink. He had his eyelids removed yeeeeeaars ago.

I think the Packers will be willing to pay Favre to be backup. If Brett can't take that, he'll "blink" first.

Snakes can't blink, they have no eyelids. Instead their eyes are protected by a clear scale (kind of like a contact lens). Their eyes are open even when they're asleep. Which is why you'll never get pictures like this of Ted:

No, Im not a fair weather fan. I think his accomplishments on the field are fantastic - that goes without saying. I just think that his recent playoff performance leaves a lot to be desired. The framed/signed Favre memorabilia in my basement, will always remain. So will my allegiance to the Packers - if Favre, Rodgers, or Tim Couch is under center.

Why does everyone wanna blame the playoff losses on Favre? Was he supposed to be covering Plax? Was Favre playing on the D line or O line? If you're going to go on record and say it's a team game, then how can you say you don't want Brett back based on his playoff performances? No double standards please..

We have tried 2 or 3 different players at every position since 1997. We have tried 3 different HCs, and 2 GMs. The one constant in these playoff losses is the QB.

You can still win a playoff game if you dont recover a fumble at the 50 yard line.
You can still win a playoff game if an opposing reciever goes off for 150 yards.
You can still win a playoff game if you miss a field goal.

But...

YOU CANNOT win a playoff game if your QB throws 3, 4, 5, 6 INTs.
