Wow...looks like he'll be able to compete...ACCORDING TO SOURCES. Hope those sources are reliable.

Shocking...but I like it if it is true. I'm not going to believe it until I see it though.

If the Packers were going to let him back to compete, why the hell did it take so damn long to reinstate him?

[Brando19]

Yeah, really. I hope this is a lesson to Brett...if they take him back that is...don't retire in March because you may not have the option of coming back.

no biggie Brando.. this probably deserves a thread anyways..


I think we will all know a lot more of the situation after tonights scrimmage the way it sounds.. with that being said I am going to training camp weds-sat this week and I feel like a 8 year old on christmas morning haha

a) campen was right - if favre forced their hands and showed, they'd have to let him compete

b) the only way they can get decent trade value is if they create the impression brett could be staying in GB

c) they will let rodgers "beat" him out in TC, and have him on reserve in case they rodgers flounders or is injured

d) they let him start and allow rodgers to get as much reps as possible, and secretly hope favre falters and they can insert rodgers

these are just a few of the possible scenarios

[falco]

maybe they are hoping this will help push rodgers even harder???

C is your best bet. They may let him "compete" but he ain't getting the job.

eh I dunno about that... I really think the Packers are the ones in the bind here because if Brett is not treated with the respect he feels he is owed, he will never sign that agreement with the Packers allowing them to sell his name in the future after he retires.. that would be a shitload of money they are missing out on and basically my other reasoning is that they will field the best players they have on the team.. its plain and simple

IF Favre gets pissy about anything. They will have their excuse to keep his ass on the bench. The Packers aren't in a bind by any means. Favre should be made to rot on the bench. If he doesn't like it, he can go home, it should be that simple.

youre not understanding my point.. HE DOES NOT have to sign that agreement with the packers and if he doesn't, they will lose a lot of cash

yup. they clearly didn't want it to come to this. but i said once before that the only thing Rodgers has over Brett is legs. Brett, if he's still here at the end of camp, will be the starter again.

[Pacopete4]

i cannot wait to hear the crowd go nuts when he starts completing passes at training camp.. gosh damn i am pumped up

dude, hello --

the whole point is brett was like "omg the packers hate me and wont let me play"

now we are ...

he cant get back on it and say "oh i dont wanna be in gb, i dont wanna sign that"

he already _said_ gb was his first choice even tho thats probably not really true. we called his bluff... and here we are.

brett wont be a packer by the end of the season.

YOu aren't understanding my point. THey are no in a bind becuase if Favre gets pissy about ANYTHING, and that includes so called lack of respect, they will have their excuse to put him on the bench, agreement or no agreement.
